The C rumba and the Crust. Sat the crust of bread In preference to the crumb. This is the advice of the London Lancet This famous London medical publication says that analysis shows that "the crumb contains on an average 43 per cent of moisture, while the crust contains only 20 per cent One Important dietetic difference between crust and crumb is the fact that the former contains an Increased amount of soluble carbohydrates owing to the action of Intense heat which the crust receives compared with the crumb during baking. Moreover, the crust has a more pronounced bready flavor than the crumb, a flavor which is attractive and which stimulates the flow of digestive Juices."

DISORDERS FROM INDISCRIMINATE MIXING OF FOODS. "The disturbing effects of fruits are ss much due," says Dr. Henry O.

The objections to mixing foods Indiscriminately, according to the common practice, has been urged by the writer for many yeara, and his Investigations Into the nutritional disturbances eaueed by thlo almost universal habit, led to the conclusion come years ago, that the dlsorganlsstlen of nutrition resulting from" this practice Is the predisposing , sauce to cancer and to dleeaee In generalon the physical aide, far the mind la a ee-efficient factor In health and disease and Dr. Bassos has arrived, at the ooncfualen by s different lino of lirvostlcetlon that thie la the esses cf constipation and the train of Hie that follow.

When years ago two postmaster generals told the American people of the domination of their post office department by the railroads of this country they did not take heed. Today the farmers and small householders of the United States demand that the government shall throw off that yoke. The fight against the domination by railroad influence of whole states has driven the railroads from rebating, from extortionate) rates but it has left them in control of the most simple but gigantic device for skinning the cream of the railroad business out of the pockets of American citizens. This is the express business. In spite of the fact that the constitution has given congress control over the postroads of the country; nay in spite of the fact that a special statute is on the books prohibiting any one (under heavy penalty) from engaging in the transfer of "packets" the express companies yearly levy a toll on American business especially on the American farmer and the worker In the American factory. And when it is known that the same directorates which man the great railroad systems govern and control the express companies handling the most precious and lucrative portion of the American transfer business then John Wanamaker's phrase becomes historic. For It was John Wanamaker as postmaster general of the United States who said that there were four reasons why the parcels post could not be installed the four great express companies of this country. ' It was another postmaster general Vilas who pointed out that the congress could save to the American people enough in a few years time to pay for the investment if the government would own mail cars instead of hiring them. This now famouB Vilas report has been pigeon-holed for years by railroad senators working under the direction of railroad lobbies. It was Robert Marion La Follette who has, after years of labor, succeeded in getting congress to allow the Interstate commerce commission to investigate this situation!

In the face of all this Postmaster General Hitchcock of the Taft administration has felt so deeply the crying need for the investigation of the parcels post that he recommended to congressional appropriation in his last report the enormous sum of $50,000! The sarcasm of this recommendation appears when he places the same valuation on the necessity, for investigating aerial navigation as applied to the post office! If this were not of a piece with his operations in using the post office as a censor of the American free press through the Intimidation of the national magazines by threatening extermination by raising their rates; by promising exemption to all those inoffensive publications who tell nothing which tends to destroy the present cordial relationship between Big Business and government; if it were not of a piece with bis sacrifice of the railway mail clerks and other branches of the service on the altar of the railroads; if it were not of a piece with his manipulation of the post office to replace William Howard Taft in office then it might be overlooked. But no man who has followed his career can doubt the real reason. So small an appropriation for the investigation parcels post might . be laid to other reasons. It might be said that there is no necessity for the investigation of the parcels post. It should be self evident, for every civilized country save our own, is farther advanced. The British subject the tradesman of London may send his package into this country cheaper by the British parcels post than the American farmer can receive a like package from his dealer by express or mail. To place an arbitrary limit on the size of the package to be sent may Indeed not disturb the arrangement by which the railroads enjoy the postal profit but it works a hardship on every American farmer.

PARCELS POST. Some Reasons Why We Do Not Have Parcels Post. A Few Reasons Why Wc Should. - The country merchants are putting up the same old plea against establishing the parcels post system In

this country. They fear the farmers will send their orders for goods elsewhere and have shipments made by mail. These same merchants fought the rural mail delivery and some fear that farmers would not come to town but would hibernate during the long winters and live on what they made in summer. It would then not be necessary to have any conveyance other than lumber wagons and one suit of clothes would last for years and the country stores would wither and die and blow away and dog fennel and poison vines would cover the streets and buildings. But even now these merchants have adjusted their business to the new order of things and instead of the farmer coming to town over a rough road for his weekly paper on Saturday, he gets his daily paper delivered at his door every day and the merchant reaches him more frequently with announcements of wares and bargains. The farmer visits the town in carriage and automobile and travels over good roads and is a better buyer and a better payer than ever before. The farmer is an up-to-date man of affairs and is as well posted on current events as the average citizen of the towns and cities. Good roads.

good vehicles and driving teams, automobiles, telephones and the daily rural mail have made a new man, a

Right here in, Richmond there may be dealers who fear the coming of the parcels post. We do not believe that Buch fears are justified. It is of the same class of fear as that of small towns which feared the coming of the interurban. It is inconceivable that what helps the exchange of commodities should hurt business. Every Richmond dealer would immediately have the same facilities that every other dealer in the country - would have to send his goods by parcels post a great avenue of trade opened tip which he cannot now get at The people of this country demand that to the cost of living there shall not be added the monopoly profit of express charges. Prices are high enough from natural causes without adding to them the weight of special privilege. ' If there are dealers who fear to have markets opened up to them by the parcels post is their Interest the interest of the whole commounity or that of the whole people? It may be that for a time they would suffer but would it not be better for all In the long run to have a cheaper exchange of commodities from merchant to consumer? Would there not be ' more trade coming to the merchant when the consumer is relieved from the extortions of the express companies? It is time for the people to own their own postal service.

new citizen out of the fanner. He is a man among: men and knows what he wants and he wants a parcels post mail system and on March 18 will write hia congressman and senators to work and vote for a good system. He will say to those servants of his not to give us a makeshift of a parcels post law but a genuinely good one, something that is as good for us as are such systems good for more than two dozen other countries. For some time there has been a

general discussion on the part of the more progressive with regard to 'the; establishment of a parcels post sys-i tern in this country. This means a j system that will permit shipping pack-1

ages of considerable size through the

mails. At the present time the U. S.

makes a flat charge of 6 cents a pound for packages of merchandise carried ;

through the mail and limits the parcel to four pounds in weight. In Russia packages up to 120 pounds can be sent through the mail at a charge of 13 cents for two pounds and 23c for seven pounds. China, with a territory nearly one-half larger than this country carries four pounds for 30 cents and 22 pounds in one package for $1. In order to mail 22 pounds in this country we would have to put the mail in six bundles and pay postage to the amount of 8352. Germany and a score of other nations are conducting parcels post systems with considerable success. These have had the support of some of the leading statesman of all countries. Wm. E. Gladstone, England's grand, old man, said: "The parcels post is the most important institution which has been created in the last fifty years for the welfare of the people. I consider the act which called the institution into existence as the most useful and fruitful of my long career." In this country there is a recognized necessity of better carrying conditions in view of which the post master general went on record in 1907 as follows: "I assume that our representatives in congress will realize that they cannot afford to stand for a policy that compels our own people living in the

United States (and even then permits them to send only four pounds) than on packages to people living- in 22 foreign lands, for which, they need pay only 12 cents a pound, and which may weigh up to 11 pounds." Parcels post would enable the consumer to order scores of packages where a trip to the city would cost more than the article. It would also enable our city cousins to get some produce direct from the producer, which would be one factor in solving the high cost of living. This would make farm life more attractive, the city home prosperous and bring the two in close union. O. H. SCANTLAND.

A little Diapepsin relieves

bad Stomachs in five minutes. As there is often some one in your family who suffers an attack of Indigestion or some form of Stomach

trouble, why don't you keep some

Diapepsin in the house handy? This harmless blessing will digest anything you can eat without the slightest discomfort, and overcome a sour, gassy Stomach five minutes after. Tell your pharmacist to let you read

the formula, plainly printed on these

50-cent cases of Pape's Diapepsin,

then you will readily see why it makes

Indigestion, Sour Stomach, Heartburn and other distress go in five minutes and relieves at once such miseries as Belching of Gas, Eructations of sour, undigested food, Nausea, Headaches,

Dizziness, Constipation and other Stomach disorders. Some folks have tried so long to find relief from Indigestion and Dyspepsia or an out-of-order stomach with the common, every-day cures advertised that they have about made up their minds that they have something else wrong, or believe theirs is a case of Nervousness, Gastritis, Catarrh of the Stomach or Cancer. This, no doubt, is a serious mistake. Your real trouble is, what you eat does not digest; Instead, it ferments and sours, turns to acid, Gas and Stomach poison, which putrefy in the digestive tract and intestines, and, besides, poison the breath with nauseous odors. A hearty appetite, with thorough digestion and without the slightest discomfort or misery of the Stomach, is waiting for you as soon as you decide to try Pape's Diapepsin.

"CADET LIFE AT WEST POINT By Richcond's Scaler Author

This is one of the most charming books that has been published in a long time, it makes Young America more anxious than ever to go to our national military academy and it makes all the girls wish they could go there too, while grown folks who read it forget the cares of maturity. The reader soon becomes interested in the farmer boy, congratulates him on his appointment, watches his preparation for the "prelim," goes with him to West Point as a "candidate." sympa-

Col. Hugh T. Reed thizes with him ss a'plebe," rejoices with him as a "yearling." visits home with him as a joUy "furloughman," returns with him to the academy and when the diploma is placed in his hand as a "graduate," the reader, having had many laughs over the boy's experiences, becomes deeply interested in the inner workings of this famous school. The book describes the daily life at West Point, tells about hazing and cadet fights, of hops and boating, and relates many short, crisp stories, while imparting correct information upon appointments, examinations, the chances to be admitted and to graduate, the course of study, a brief history of West Point, etc. and all is told in such a happy vein that the reader closes the book with a regret that there is an end to "Cadet Life at West Point.
