Comment on the Day V News o PRANK JENKINS OU r "" of c0UrM " yOU J keep up at all on statistic, that Y heJtat disease leads all causes ot death in tbs country. Cancer, more dread ed, but aa yet less devastating, train along n second place- n flamnson. ol Philadel- pr. rau. v. - r -his, n authority on diet, who haa been speaKlng before service clubs in touttern Oregon this week, tells us that both heart disease snd cancer are aggravated by Improper diet. HB big thinTth" ta wronB wlth U our diet. Dr. Sampson says, la that w. have developed too much luasineas about our foods. Ws HEFTNE them too much, taking away too many of the things our bodies nurt have if they are to be nourish ed properly. These necessary elements, he says. ,x. th. "earth salts"-calclum. sodl , phosphorua. etc. They arc con tained in the hulls and the peelings 1 of grains and fruits; which, generally .peaking, wecarefully discard In pre paring our foods for consumption. njE PEEL our potatoes, for example W and throw away the peelings. Sven when we do bake potatoes In tbelr skins, or boll them with their -jackets" on, we est th. Insldes and throw away the skins. This, he says. Is all wrong, for these essential earth aalta lie close under th. peel of th. potato and are lost when the peelings are thrown away. Eat -em" is his advice regarding potato peelings. WHEAT, probably, is the most bssio of all our articles of food, and in th. case of wheat, as In the .as. of potatoes, these essential salts He close under the skin, or hull. V But do we eat this outer part of the wheat kernel? Not on your life we don't. We provide Intricate and xpenslv. machinery with which to take it off and discard lt-and then, to make aure that we get none of It at all Into our systems, we bolt our Oour through a fin. cloth before w. will eat It. When it comes out, It is pretty thoroughly bare of all these esscn tials. OUR pioneer forefathers weren't so particular. Lacking modern flouring mills, they ground up their wheat with a mortar and pestle, or boiled it In a pot and at. it with mllk-lf they happened to be fortunate enough to have th. milk. If not. they took It straight. , i. hv been only a coinci dence, but th. fact remains that heart disease WASN'T the leading cause of death among the early pio neers of thla country. THEN there Is rice, mm ric. as with wheat, these essential elements of diet lie close under th. hull. But do w mane a-j effort to get them Into our systems when we eat rice? We DO NOT. WE POLISH our rice, so that eaca grain is nice and shiny some fc thing pretty to look at. We take th! dust we polish off, which contains essentials which our bodlos need, and discard It; usually paying good money to get rid of it. Tin DO the same, Dr. Sampson " tails us. with our sugsr. We tea th. syrup that comes from the .an. and refine It and attain It and filter It, using every possible car. to V get rid of those particular elements which V. need, and after we have got lid ot them we sell them for FER TILIZER. W. are smart enough, at least, to do that, employing the, elements which might have built our own bod ies to a healthier state to put sdded growth and attength Into the plants' to which we feed th. fertilizer. WE ARE Immensely proud of this modern civilization which we have built, and we have reason to be. The state of modern civilized man la a tremendous advance over th. state of the primeval savage. But, If Dr. Sampson la right, we , have allpped up her. and there. We have carried civilization too far. over refined it "run It Into th. ground," to use a common exreaslon of the street. iCoUaupil as Pag. Efw) ... Saw Gun Drop From Hand of Officer, Claim kitoitoe. Ore.. Mav 15. (API A surprise witness, who claims h. saw th. killing of Constabl. George J. Prescott by Llewellyn A. Banks, and who save he went past Prescott's body and Into the Banks homo before the officers came to arrest the elderly ex-publlsher, took the stand In the Banks case Monday. As the defense veered from Its an- l nounced course of putting Mrs. Banks on the stand. John Wheeler, Medford farmer, went before the court and told of hearing Prescott make threats against Banks' life weeks In advance of the tragedy and told of being an eye-witness to the shooting. .Morning of surprises His testimony opened a morning of surprises during which three defense I witnesses told of hearing tne con stable threaten to "get" Llewellyn A. Banks. "I saw the gun fnll from Prescott's hand as he fell dead on the porch," Wheeler testified. Prom . Walter J. Jones, mayor or Rogue River, cam. th. testimony that he had overheard a conversation between Prescott and Joe Cave, an other officer, and that Prescott had said, "Banks knows too damned much about our business and will have to b. put out of the way." May Powell Testifies From May Powell, of Talent, an ex-Brltlsh war nurse, came the testi mony that the Medford constable hsd threatened Banks' life saying. "There's only one way to close Banka' mouth, and I'm the one to do It. Codding has a warrant for him and I'm going to serve it. I'll take him In If I have to take him to tne morgue, and that's where he be longs!" As the state and defense attorneys repeatedly mixed In heated trgu- menta and Judge Sklpworth rapped for order, th. defense witnesses., all members of the Good Government congress, gave testimony they hope will clear their leader of a first de gree murder charge. Knew Prescott When Wheeler took the stand he said he was a farmer and contractor In Medford. "I knew Prescott," he and voted for George at the election. The day after Banks' paper had been sold at auction I went with my wife to town. 8he wanted to go to a store to do some shopping so I waited on the street. As I crossed the street In front of the Medford National bank I saw Prescott and another man talking. The other man said, 'Well, they got Banks silenced on his paper." George said, 'No thsy haven't got him silenced yet. He's starting a paper over , In Fehl's plant. The only way to silence mm Is to shoot him and I guess it'll be tip to me." "The other man said, 'Well, he's smart', and Prescott ssld, 'Well, he won't be so smart when I get thru with him.' Warned Banks "I saw Banks a few days later and told him what I had learned. I warned him he was In Danger. "On the morning of March 16." Wheeler continued, "I was In town trying to get a seed and feed loan at the courthouse. I walked up from the courthouse on West Main street towards the Banks home. As I got across from the house 1 saw Prescott and another officer going up to the door.- I stopped. I saw the door open and a couple of letters fall out. Then I heard a shot. I saw a gun fall from Prescott's hBnd. It fell on the floor. George fell back on the porch. As I was almost In range of bullets If any more shots were fired, I ran down the street. Then I came back In a few mlnutea and went up on the porch , The officer was on the corner and he hollered at me to get away. Mrs. Banks opened the door snd asked me Into the house. I stayed In until Just before Lee Bown and another officer cam. to arr,est Mr. Banks, then I went out the side door." Bitter Cross-Examlnation Wheeler's testimony was subjected to a biting cross-examination from Ralph Moody, chief prosecutor,' and several times Moody and Frank Lon ergan, chief of th. defense, tangled in arguments across the table aa Lonergan accused Moody of abusing the witness. Walter J. Jones, mayor of Rogue River, was next called. H. was a charter member of the Good Govern ment congress, he said, and knew both Prescott and Banks. "I had been arrested much to my surprise snd lodged In the Medford Jail," Jones said. "Through a partition- an th. Jail .office1 1 could hear Prescott and Joe Cave talking. Cave was a Medford officer. Prescott made the remark that Banks knew too damned much about their business and would hav. to be put out of the way. Cave said. 'If Banks doesn't quit hollering about me killing Da hack I'll do It myself!' Altered Threat Belated. "Prescott said then that If a war rant was served and Banks resisted, fhvi t him. Prescott said 'the Good Government Congress la a bunch of anarchists.' That was all I heard. The next morning I was awakened by Prescott who wanted to know how much I h;d heard. I laugh ingly said, -wouldn't you like to know?' Prescott ssld. 'If you did hear anything, you'll be wis. If you keep your mouth shut." May Powell of Talent followed Jones on the stand. She said she was a Red Cross nurse with tne urmen forces from July. 1815, until tha end OF CHAMBER DRAFT WORK FOR YEAR Committees for the chamber of commerce are conducting their first meetings since appointments, and several have been scheduled for this week, according to A.
