MONDAY, JANUARY 22, 1917 KEEP IN CONDITION Every man owes it to himself and his family to keep in good physical condition. This means longer life, more effi ciency and more earning power. The man who is always tired out surance standard which does not take into consideration many defects and hygienic errors that lead to health im pairments. Thus many of these peo ple gain a false sense of confidence and are encouraged to neglect tneir health, .to ignore the need of health education and, in fact, to put new burdens on their health. "The composite physical American looks smooth, pink and healthy," con tinued Mr. Eittenhouse. "He is a ood liver (I said is not has). He hurries. He has no time tJ waste.

He could detect; und head off these troubles if he' would go to his doctor for an occa sional examination. He is more than well-rounded at the belt and slightly so at the shoulders. Under exertion he is short-winded due to lack of ex ercise or a bad heart. "The evil efforts of his physical in activity have been greatly aggravated by his deadly excesses and errors in eatine and drinking. There is no bur den too great for him to put upon his digestive system. He would not think of mixing bricks or scrap iron or gra vel with the fuel for the furnace which heats his house but he does not hesitate to follow this plan in furnish ing the fuel for his body. He feeds his stomach with all sorts of tasty iunk much of which cannot be fully digested, and which results in the trouble that come3 from auto-intoxication. Auto-intoxication has a fas cination for him. He seems to think it is some automatic way of getting pleasure. Slowly the fact is sinking in that his accumulation of fat is due to the excessive use of meats, sugar, ' butter, sweets, cream and other rich, I fat and oily foods minus exercise.

La Grande National Bank Every farm home appreciates the good fresh vegetables that a small garden produces, not mentioning the saving in the grocer bHl. In the dry sections of the state, it becomes a difficut task to maintain a satisfact ory garden with tho exception of a few quick and early maturing veg etables. The winter rainfall can be supple mented, says Mr Henry Holtz, of the Washington Experiment Station, Pull man, from the well or spring, using a windmill or gas engine for power. Many additional vegetables and fruits can be grown in the garden that it is impossible to grow without such ad ditional water. The amount of supplementary water will depend upon the rainfall and vegetables to be grown. Ten inches of winter rainfall will penetrate about 3 feet in the average soil type of the dry sections. This is moisture enough for many garden crops with good moisture conservation, will produce better and more if ad- ditional water is added. Three inches of water (about 2 gallons) on every square foot will wet the soil about one foot deep. The following table gives the depth to which some of the common garden vegetables fei. Corn 6 feet, Boans 31-2 feet, Pota toes 4 feet, Beets 3 feet, Peas 5 feet, Carrots 31-2 feet.

As in the game with Lostine the "Advertising Com mittee' got busy and as the result of ti cir work a record crowd attended. Their best idea was to have each class give a "stunt" in the parade which was pulled off, just before the game. The freshmen got the prize for their stunt in which figured a large goat upon which was tied the following: "We" get Union's Goaf. The seniors received second prize with a large coffin in which was supposed to rest the bodies of the Union men. Kermit, son of Mr. and Mrs. F. F.

The Triangular debate, a branch of which was held in Lostine, Enterprise and Joseph, was won by the Joseph teams, thereby frivine Joseph the county championship, and as Joseph is in the state debating league that! town will probably debate La Grande soon, to decide who is champion of Eastern Oregon. One of the most delightful parties of tho past week was given by Mr. and Mrs. L. E. Caviness on Thursday evening at their home on Mill street.
