' Not to be humor ous about It, per haps the lemon and its savory J u ic e holds tire downing place in list of non- fattenlng foods. .In deed, the lemon or its zestful juice will do more than; any mere food can do. according to some beauty experts, it will positively reduce the weight pt the unsophisticated one. The. unromnntic and therefore un welcome. truth, is that a iemon or two every, morning or the Juice thereof will probably increase the weight by precisely a fraction of the weight of the- lemon or the juice. ome. very credulous fat folk seri ously believe that by eating bread which; bears a medical title or brand they cart Veduce. but the unpopular truth again is that any reduction of weight actually obtained while "diet ing" on such bread is due solely to the general dietery restrictions, the general reduction in the Intake of food and any exercise adhered to while the "treatment" is being used. I do not mean to convey the Idea that all foods have the same nutritive value or that one will grow fat or lean regardless of what foods one eats. A .pound of cheese will fatten one as much as 14 pounds of cabbage will, and a nut fudge sundae will keep one's waistline up to par Just as effec tively as two quarts of buttermilk will. Tho easiest thing in the world to grow fat on is good candy, and the hardest to achieve this disgrace with is iceberg lettuce but these are all good foods and have the proper place in a normal dietary.

Co-operative. Poultry Marketing'. To the Editor: Eggs and Toultry .of high quality can be produced in southern Oregon as cheaply if not more so than in any other section of the United States. Our climates, our soils and the mode rate cost ofland is mainly responsible for this. Local poultry products have been Increasing phenomtnally during the last few years. In 1922 the output was. wide that of 1921 and the 1923 output nearly doubled that of 1922. At present our production is greater than the local demand to the extent of approximately 400 cases weekly. I nless we ship these eggs out in car lots we are at the mercy of a high (nearly prohibitive) express rate. Car load shipments in a locality where the total head of stock does not exceed 50,000. is possible only when the total product is marketed through one acenrv.

QUESTIONS AND AXSWEHS. . Away to Florida. . -My husband and I had planned to spend a few months in Florida, but after reading your talk on hookworm disease, we have hesitated about going there. Just what danger Would we run in visiting Miami and stopping at good hotels in that part of Florida? Mrs. M. E. G. Answer The real estate agents would bother you more than the hook worms, if I were your husband's wife I wouldn't let any pesky little hookworms spoil my fun. Keep your shoes on when you go for a walk and you'll run no risk at all. Such hook worm pollution of the soil as there Is in Florida is In the. backwoods sec tions where the people are primitive about the disposal of human excre ment. No danger of getting hook worm disease In or about Miami. Calcium of Lime. What quantity of calcium or lime salt do you advise for use with table salt to supply a lime deficiency in ultrarefined dietaries Mrs. B. K. C. Answer Mix the salt for use in the salt cellars with calcium carbonate, half and half, and use this mixture on the table In place of straight salt. A slmpled. perhaps better way to get more lime (calcium) would be by eat ing more cheese of any and all varie ties, more peanuts as a substantial food rather than .a mere relish, and more cabbage. During the last two years a sincere effort has been made to establish such an agency in Jackson county, namely the Poultry Producers Co-operative association of southern Oregon. The Poultry Producers Co-operative association has been of inestimable value to the poultry industry here and due to its strict co-operative pol icy has been of as much benefit to the non-members as to the members. It has done much to stabilize prices and to rescue the product from the speculative bartering of dealers. Since the supporters of any asso ciation must pay their prorated cost of operating such an institution, ob viously they are "holding the um brella for the outsider." The pure co-operative principle is "treat all alike and what is good for one will benefit the other." A few years ago a locality in the vicinity of San Francisco. California was practically valueless, owing to its unproductive soils. The poultry in-, dustry took root and grew and as a result of co-operative marketing its products are sold at a premium; throughout the United States. Land values have increased to one thous-! and dollars per acre and beautiful; home places are noticeably plentiful. I Petalun.a. California is known today! as the egg basket of the world. Co-operative marketing will do the same for us. . A drive for membership has been launched by the Poultry Producers Co-operative association of Southern Oregon and within a few days all non members will have the opportunity to align themselves with that body. Copies of the marketing agreement and by-laws of the association will be mailed to you. If you fail to get your copy, notify the office. Your prompt action in signing up will greatly facilitate the work of and be greaily appreciated by the member ship committee. C. F. CARPEXTER, Member. Medford. Feb. 25.
