It will be to our discredit if we are equally unprepared to meet the conditions of a peace which is certain to come. These conditions will make readjustment necessary. There will be an immediate cessation of the war industries which are now employing so many people, and there will be the need- ful re-absorption of a great army into the working ranks of the country - - 7 The young men of the army, accustomed to a hardy out- of-door life, will many of them desire outside work. Secretary Lane’s plan for a survey of all the vacant and waste lands of the nation with a view to determining which of them can be reclaimed for cultivation is an admirable project. i Many of the plants producing war materials can be utilized for commercial products. The government and the capitalists will do all they can toward meeting conditions. But there ismuch that can be done locally toward a solution of the problem. The government deoes not wish any public: works, except those which are absolutely necessary, undertaken for the period of the war. But there is no reason why we ‘should not have our plans laid for jnaugurating them after the close of the war. The putting up of buildings that are required or necessary public buildings can be planned. In many sections of the country good public highways are badly needed. Such enterprises will give work to many. It would also be an excellent idea to establish small fac- tories where the material required would “either be largely local or within easy transportation. Conditions would be healthful for workers and employment would be secured for many men. ' . Foresight and careful planning will greatly aid in meeting afterwar conditions, and should engage our thoughtful con- sideration. 0. THE POLLS. ( { e ———— " Tt was Chesterton who sald that a mind of very moderate caliber should be capable of finding something more intersting to do than work. This may be true of work, but it is certainly true of voting. ° It is generally when some real or fancied grievance en- rages us that we want to rush to the polls, and these spasms of wrath usually seize us when there is no election pending. At other times we ask to be spared the mental exhaustion entailed by the_study of internal and international politics, of tariff and revenue problems, of industrial and sumptuary legis- lation. i Yet, whether we like it or not, there is just now a duty incumbent on all of us. Not only must we compare one candi- date’s platform with another’s, but we must investigate the re- cord of each, and make certain that there is no mark upon it which classifies him as a danger to the nation in these days of crisis. In all camps there are unworthy aspirants—some of them insidiously disloyal, and the fault will be ours if through negligence and apathy we allow enemies of democracy to take part in legislative councils. : £ Voting may be a dull aid tedious function, but it is as much a patriotic duty as shouldering a rifle. ———0 CHARGE IT AGAINST OURSELVES. Perhaps movie censorship is being overdone. A mind that| can be depraved by the sight of a film is in a constant of flux. Show it an uplifting film, and it can be reformed again. A mind so easily dislocated will never be very effective for good or evil. Do we worry too much about processes? Still, the films provide us with a convenient alibi. We can charge them up with much of the evil that is really inherent in ourselves. VIR v Without opposition, the members of the legislative com- mittee of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers, repre- senting 28,000 Illinois enginemen, indorsed nation-wide pro-| hibition. The meeting was held in Springfield. . 0: = The Bemidji public schools will open for the fall term of the school year tomorrow. Let every right thinking citizen boost for a sucessful school year. “Whatever is worth doing is worth doing well.” No one can say that the aircraft scandal is not-a thorough and com- plete one. 0 Many a young .fellow whose greatest desire a year ago was for a good tennis score is now fired with the ambition to get his man. 0.

NS ANSWERED FATS ‘Do American eat too much fat? -As;a nation:we.have the.reputa: tion of ‘being the. greatest fat eaters and wasters in the world Why is it necessary to pave;fats? Because fats have high value as ; energy-producing food of a sort specially needed by soldiers; and because they are needed in-the -manufacture of high explosives, :for the lubrication of: machinery, and for ointments. Why are fats so important to. Ger- many? s : They are the essential food that Germany most lacks. Eating-fat in Germany not under government control-costs from $3 a-pound up. Is. it better to.make soap at home or .sell-waste fat to the soap maker? If possible .sell to the soap 1maker. ' He .can get-glycerine. as a-by-product, and hie will not-waste Iye. What are the snimal fats? 2 Cream, butter, lard, and fats o all animals. - 2 What are the vegetable fats? ¥ Olive -oil, - cottonseed ofl, corn oil; and ofl from nuts, ‘Why may vegetable fats be used more freely than animal fats? Because the animal fats are needed for the Allies, and we have larger stocks of vegetable fats.- Is.there any difference in the value of animal and vegetable fats in cook- ing? N No; ‘vegetable fats are just as good as animal fats. i Is there any essential: difference be- QUESTIO No, fats are,solid at room tem- perature and ofls are liquid, 'our lard supply decreased? Yes; the total produection of lard in 1916-17 was 22,500,000 pounds less than in the previous year. It began to show decided increase in the spring of 1918. How can we:save fats, especially ani- ‘mal fats?. - By frying: less; by .saving meat drippings; by using butter only on the table; by using substitutes for lard; by wasting no soap. How much fat should an adult con- - sume daily? Not below 40 grams (about 1% ounces) and many will prefer. 50 grams (about 134 ounces) or 60 grams (a little over 2 ounces). . FISH ’ Is fish a “brain food”? No mere so than other foods Fish contains a high percentage of phosphorus. and when food values were first discussed this was credited as ‘“brain” food. Phosphorus is no more a brain builder than other substances of which the braih is composed. When is the best time. to substitute fish for meat? . In the spring and summer when many varleties of fish are plenti- ful. , Is fish cheaper in warm weather? = "Yes. Particularly in localities near the source of supply. Which are more plentiful, the oceam or inland fish? d Ocean fish. The growth of large cities on-inland rivers has brought into existence many mills and fac- tories which pollute the waters and drive away the fish. 4 ‘Which variety of fish furnishes the greatest food value? P The oily yarieties, such as sal- mon and mackerel. Where are these found in abundance? Salmon on the Pacific coast, and mackerel on the Atlantic coast. Why should we have frozen fish? Because that makes it possible to have good fish in inland towns and cities. Is frozen fish good? Fish is frozen for market only when it {s abgolutely in good con- dition, and people should not fear to use it. Should the fish be thawed out at the retailer’s? No; as soon as the fish is.thawed out it deteriorates rapidly. What should the housekeeper do? She should insist on getting the fish frozem at the retailer’s and keep it frozen until she wishes to use it, How is the best way to thaw it out? By placing it on ice in a pan in a cool place. How long does this process take? Several hours. ] Is there a quicker way to thaw it out Yes; by putting it in cold water; never hot. Should the water it is thawed out in be used? By all means use the water i the fish is boiled; or use it for chowder. Some of the value of the fish goes into the water and ia thus lost unless the water is made use of. What are the advantages of cold storage fish? 1. It brings good fish into large cities. 2. It standardizesghe pricd of fish. d 3. fish. 4. It makes the transportation and caring for fish possible and safe, 6. It provides fish out of season. Do these same points hold good foi eold-storage foods in general? - Yok ol It lowers the annual price of po—— i o [HUNITION WORKERS ARE 70 HAVENEW VILLAGE (By United Press.) i Hopewell, Va., Sept.. 2.—Working . people are too valuable to be housed uncomfortably these days, so the Du- Pont explosives. .interests are -pre- -paring to gpend "$3,040,000 ‘on con- struction of a new village in Hope- ‘well. Y B This is an explosious town, and has- literally ‘sprung. up- out of:-the war. The DuPonts have immense ex- plosives plants here, ‘and already have spent millions on houses, clubs; and -welfare-projects, on the theory that whatever makes for the comfort of the emiployes is for the welfare.of the explosives enterprise. The_new :model village is to be called Southwest B village. = Other villages composing. Hopewell are similarly identified by letters ‘and points of the compass. Southwest B will contain 700 new houses, ready for occupancy this year. The Du- Pont: company has taken over 150 ‘acres» of 1and for the project, and its landscape architects are. laying out parks and streets, - There will be a swimming pool, a community ‘club, commissary, .and girls”dormitories for the rapidly in- creasing army of girl. workers in:the munitions factories. 3 This fall’s building program of the DuPonts also includes a church, lodge hall, bandstand, Y. M. C. A. addition, and girls’ dormitories for Davisville, ‘the negro village with- in - the gates ‘of the greatDuPont plant. By Frank J. Taylor. (United Press Staff Corrspondent.) With the American armies in France, Aug..18. (By Mail.)—They call him “the corporal who ‘was there.” s He went over with a raiding part. to the German’ third line trenches. |- |i ‘While the rest were quiet or scared, he seemed:excited and happy-: He led the party in exploring Ger- man dugouts.” Into: the first one he found, he yelled, “‘Are you there?” Gutteral sounds came out, and he let them have some. grenades, after which he blew up the dug-out whilei} his pals were playing safer and hunting a defensive trench to fight' i in. s Alone, he set out to find anoth dugout full of Germans, He did, and repeated his first performance, | ignoring the falling shells. Then he started for home, figuring that blowing up two German dugouts with Germans in them was a good enough. night’s work for any doughboy. vOn the way across No Man’s Land, he found two_ wounded comrades. Through a barrage, he carried first one, and then the other to the American trenches. Then a shell dropped within a few feet of him, exploded, but did nething worse than give him shell-shock. ‘When he got out of the-hospital, he modestly wondered why he was called “the corporal who was there.” THESE BE HEROIC DAYS! > (By United Press.) London, Sept. 2.—There is at least one man in Engjand whose nerves have not been hudged by the war. ; He was bicycling from Newton Pagnell recently when a swarm of bees settled on his hat. He alighted calmly and impersonated a-lamp post until a beeman came and hived the bees, The stolid hero was not stung. QUICK WORK THIS (By United Press.) London, -Sept. 2.—Prisonered by a Hun and marched by a bomb store, Rifleman H. Barker of London, snatched a bomb and killed his cap- tor, escaping back to his own lines with valuable information. Barker- got the-distinguished con- duct medz21 for this exploit. Subscribe for The Pioneer |WASHING THE BABY IS THE LIEE FOR SOLDIER) <|its 1 | (By United Press.) London, Aug. 16. (By Mail.)—The Yankee boys are making themselvs at home in HEngland, and house- holdexs are learning to help the boys feel at home. The doughboys don’t want to go to “tea” at beautiful houses where they have to sit stiffly and uncom- fortably in rows in a drawing room while loyely and well-meaning ladies ging to them—often very badly. What they do want is a touch of real home life, and that is what they are getting. In a very short time the American soldier has made friends with the whole family, He is just to look after himself—no . fussing or em- barrassing attentions are bestowed on him. After the first visit or two he just potters about, does odd jobs around the-place, and in fact be- comes a memper of the household. At the house of a young English married couple—the husband having got his discharge badge—two hefty American lads were found enjoying themselves. immensely, bathing the babies. ‘‘Gee whizz, this is great!” they said, in which sentiment they were heartily backed by the young- sters. ~And the young husband and wife were equally pleased to have got on such good terms with their American guests, whom they de- clared to be the ‘‘best company in -the world.” 4 It’s just that word “home’” with all wonderful associations, that makes the difference. .

To feel as fine as the proverbial fiddle, we must keep the liver washed clean, almost every morning, to pre- Yent its sponge-like pores from clog- ging with indigestible material, sour bile and poisonous toxins, says a not- ed physician., i If you get headaches, it’s your liver. If you catch cold easily, it's your; liver. If you wake up with a bad taste, furred tongue, nasty breath or .stomach becomes ‘rancid, it’s your liver. Sallow skin, muddy complex- jon, ‘watery eyes all denote liver un- cleanliness. Your liver is the most important, also the most abused and, neglected organ of the body. Few know its function or how to release the dammed-up body waste, bile and toxins. Most folks resort to violent calomel, which-is a dangerous, sali- vating chemical because it accumu- lates in the tissues, also atfacks the bones. > Every man and woman, sick or well,” should drink each morning be- fore breakfast, a glass of hot. water with a teaspoonful of limestone phos- phate in it, to wash from the liver and -| bowels: the previous day’s’ indigesti- ble material, the poisons, sour bile and toxins; thus cleansing, sweeten- ing and freshening the entire ali- .mentary canal before putting more food into the stomach. Limestone phosphate does not re- strict the diet like calomel, because it can. not- salivate, for it is harmless and you can eat anything afterwards. It is inexpensive and almost tasteless, and any pharmacist, will sell you g kjuarter pound, which is sufficient for a demonstration of how hot water and limestone phosphate cleans, stim- ulates and freshens the liver, keeping you feeling fit day in and day out.
