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.

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
