"If one-half Is true that Is said about the menu that Is set before the con -.'lets In the State Penitentiary. Mer- -111 and Tracy, the escaped outlaws, -an be scarcely blamed for escaping 'rom prison. Mep In Baker' county, ho have recently been released from he Penitentiary, tell some, hard tales i bout the prison, bill of fare. Of course t la not always good judgment to take the word of an ex-convict without due illowance, but -there Is a surprising lnanlmlty about these stories, and hey are ' corroborated f from t bther -sources. Yt Is said that the able-bod ;ed men who do hard labor fofi ten tours a day make their breakfast on eans alone and are allowed no meat. Visitors to the prison say they have een. men go to work mornings stag gering from sheer, weakness. If these? stories be true, and It seems reasonable' to believe that they ire, the State Penitentiary should be Investigated. Ample, not to say lib ral, appropriations are annually pade by the Legislature for the main tenance of the prison as well a for other Institutions, and If the bill of fare Is as poor as It is said to be there must be a big graft for somebody, somewhere, somehow, rThe; iniquitous fee . system by whtchT! the slender salaries off all Oregort atate offltfals are augmented is In a measure rsponsible for this; but , the "Salem hog" and the eternal Salem habit of grafting-Is 'more .go.1 Pendleton East Oregonlan. . Here is a cheerful liar, and more ma licious than cheerfuL If the writer in .he " Pendleton East Oregon! an should visit the Penitentiary he, would find a rarprising unanimity" about, the stories of all the men confined there. Out side of the accidental criminals, such n those sent there for manslaughter he would' find all of them 'Innocent" every one.. He would find them a really excellent lot ; of men, sadly 'im rosed upon by designing outside . par ties and badly treated by their keep- rs. - What relation exists between , the contention for flat salaries for -the 4tate officials and ihe beans supplied to the convicts In . . the Penitentiary, perhaps Is incapable of explanation by any one ther than the cheerful ! (and malicious) liar of 'the East Oregonlan. The convicts at the Oregon , Penrten- tiary do not fare as luxuriously as the guests atjthe Portland Hotel. They lo not have as many courses. But thejhave an ample supply of substan- tlaf food, in as great variety as many of the hard working laboring people of this state, who obey the laws and help to pay the faxes tfr support the instl utlon. . .- .' The j suspicions concerning the "big graft" is worthy of the spirit in which the article Is wrMen. There is" no thing In it. The money appropriated Is honestly expended. The appropria tions for the support of the Penitenti ary have not been liberal. Some re forms are necessary in the government of the Penl tentlary, or at least some are desjrable; but they are not point ed out by the cheerful (and malicious) liar of the East Oregontan. i 1 COARSE FOOD. Many modern , improvements are found, after a test, to be no Improve ment. iFlour makfng was revolution lied by-the Introduction of the "roller process, whereby the grain la crushed lo an' impalpable powder between pol- Ished sheet rollers. Instead of ground between millstones. But It I begin ning to appear that this great improve ment is not without Its drawbacks. Ground flour Is granulated, and under the microscope the flour grains- are readily seen whereas the fine roller flour now commonly on tfie market is simply dust. The old fashioned coatse bread, made f rom stone-grouod flour, j required mastication, and there was al chance for - the saliva to act on the I starch; but the fine bread -of today Is J hurriedly swallowed and the starch is I not properly converted. The object -In these.days Is to pro duce the finest and whitest bread pos sible, though both fineness and white- neM argue against hfeath. Even gra- made by the roller process, and it has degenerated into a pasty substance filled wlthT bran very insult to the memory of Sylvester Graham, Just as the ; fussy 'Morris chairs" of 1902 are enough 'to make William Morris restless in his grave.' . Why do darkies as a rule have such splendid feeth? Mostly because they have lived on coarse food, which made demands on the teeth. - People as a rule now do not want to do. any chew ing. They demand meat which Js so ! tender that it will melt In the mouth. etc. , Nature, prodigal as she la, never bestows anything where It Is not ua?d; and the results Is that the civilised races are losing their teeth. 5 If the style continues to forbid our teeth to do any grinding our progeny of say 2905 A. D. will be-born toothless, or I with only rudimentary teeth. As in dividuals we cannot grow good teeth in' our heads by eating coarse food. We are beginning te get bad teeth by her edity. But there Is almost no tooth or bone-forml.ig material In "fine white flour - and tbe voidance of coarse foods undoubtedly hastens the away-going of our teeth." Perhaps the millers and the dentists are in a secret league to work, for,., mutuaf Interests. Who knows? . v . . ' MORE HOGS. Diversified farming has come to the front in the Willamette valley. Edu cational work has had much todo with bringing this about, but a good market for. diversified farm products has been the most efficient of aU causes. The farmers of the jiilamette valley can raise almost any agricurtural product of the temperate zone and they can be depended upon to produce anything for which a reliable market at pro fitable prices is assured, v We havt made the statement before and wt expect to make t a good many times. that the one thing which would do more than all else to increase the pro duction of hogs in Oregon would be an assurance that hogs will sell la Portland at Chicago prices. . Hogs dc not i bring, Chicago prices in Portland now. but or some time past the price has been high enough here to encourage farmers to raise hem and the1 number- grown-In the state is now incras- lng very fast. Oregon Agriculturist. The Statesman has been advocatlns: the raising of more bogs for a long time. They are a part f diversified farming. They go with the dairy. The dairy, is the wet nurse of the piggery. There are bound to be more and more hogs raised here In the valley, as a matter of course, and there will in time ht packing houses here or in Portland probably in both places -ready to take care of all the hogs raised, jan'd at prices as high as paid in. Chicago.. - SUPERSTITION AND MEATS ! The Thirteen Club gave a dinner re cently In New York In honor of the Vegetarian Club. The Thirteen Club exists for the purpose of defying super stition and eating dinners. Is its stand ing treat for the vegetarians evidence of lts be,ler that the eafin pf meaft causes superstition or Is a superstitious practice? There' could be great fighting on the point. Meateatlng seems to have been a religion - and ceremonial act in the early history of man.' He -'has to be considerably advanced in the pas- w' toral stage before he can ; afford . the luxury of beef and mutton. In dim ages upon which a little light is occasional ly thrown by the comparative study of savage custom, thertrlbe' solemnly sac rificed animals once a year, drinking the blood as a pledge of community of blood. As times grew easier, the taste for choos and steaks was developed. Sacrifices became more . f reo,uenL Peo ple got to killing A-critter for the sake of eating it and sacrifice was the mask of gluttony. Eren now there are tribes that, weep when they have to kill their oxen or buffaloes; and they try to propi tiate them by , telling them that It is somebody else that kills them. Meateatlng may have sprung from primitive : religion, - which those who choose may , call superstition, ; but how does superstition spring from meat-1 eating? If it Is true that the Egyptian j priests might not eat beans; nor could j the Pythagoreans, those students of the mystic power of numbers, against which the Thirteen. Club is a protest. But beef In the hoof Was sacred fn Egypt; and tho monstrous fabric of j Hindoo mythology Is a monument of vegetarianism. t?o are the puerilities of Chinese Buddhism arid geomancy, "wind-water" bred of flee. The highly respectable practice of cannibals has een misunderstood and maligned. Cannibalism arose from a mistake of 'primitive science and psy chology. A man ets a man to get his courage strength ability. Just as he eats j the heart of a lion to tone up his fight- lng qualities. The Bechauahas used to have a strong distaste for man-eating. They needed It in their business, but it I was a dose anil not a luxury. An un sound medical theory, not worse than many others, and having nothing to u. with superstition. . The Chinese will pickle a tiger in alcohol, then .drink the alcohol to get the tiger's strength. Or a deer, to get the deer's swif tness. Too much meat may poison the" liver and kidneys and so lead to gloomy fanatical views of religion; but to wnat ventoslties.of metaphysics might not a man be brought . by living on - baked beans alone! The vegetarians have a plausible theory taken In moderation: but carried to excess that, too, becomes ... -. - ... t . - a suerstiuon. uive tne weaa orotner his Joint and. the strong his pound of flesh snd don't quarrel with him.
