NOTED FODD EXPERT SAYS
SWEET CIDER IS FINE TONIC.
Cider which is unfermented is ex-
ceedingly wholesome and valuable.
Its value lies in the fact that it
contains a very agreeable tasting
substance called “malic acid,” which
acts as a disinfectant and antispetic
for the stomach and for the intes-
tines. Sweet cider may be used
with excellent results in cases of
loss of appetite, emaciation and
malnutrition, and its use at any
time is to be recommended highly.
Sweet fresh cider is also a valuable
aid and even a remedy in cases of
gastric and intestinal catarrh. It
assists in relieving disturbances such
as’ jaundice and billiousness. It acts
asa remedy for diordered kidneyy
and liver. It helps in cases of con-
stipation and often sterilizes infected
intestines.
Fresh sweet cider will assist in
preventing acidosis, a common ail.
ment due to improper eating. Gout,
and in fact, almost any disorder due
to uric acid poisoning is often re-
lieved by a liberal use of fresh sweet
cider,
Malic acid is milder than some
other fruit acids and acts beneficial-
ly on the system. The system more
easily absorbs and utilizes the malic
acid of cider than it does tartaric
acid of grape juice, and for that rea-
son sweet cider may be taken into
the stomach in large quantities with-
out any evil results.
The best time to drink itis
shortly before meals and before go-
ing to bed. A large glassful one
hour or one-half hour before eating
is a very satisfactory method of
drinking fresh cider.
Cases are exceedingly rare where
good, wholsesome, clean, fresh cider
disagrees with any individual. If
there is a tendency for the cider to
disturb the system unduly, it prob-
ably will be found to be caused by
the use of an inferior brand.
Those who have tendencies to
acidosis should select only a clean,
wholesome brand of cider and use
it freely to combat this ailment. Of
course, it is better to eat only such
foods that do not cause acidosis,
rather than try to select some rem.
edy that will offset the trouble, but
often this is very hard to do until
one understands just what causes
acidosis in any particular case.
Cider should be made from select-
ed apples which have been proper-
ly washed and cleaned in advance of
pressing and grinding. It should be
placed in containers that are clean
and sterile. The juice is sometimes
pasteurized by heating at a tem-
perature of 165 degrees,
The organism : which causes fer-
mentation to take place is thus kill-
ed. This process causes the cider
to lose some of its delicious flavor,
but seems to be about the most sat-
isfactory way of keeping it sweet in
bottles.
The hettter way. is to purchase it
sweet and fresh as long as possible
in the fall of the year. Under the
present system of keeping apples for
cidér it is possible to buy freshly |
prepared cider during the greater
part of the year.
Extreme heating of cider
its flavor, reduces its wholesome.
ness and decreases the beneficial re-
sults to be obtained from the use
of it. Green Gravenstein apples
contain twice as much of the malic
acid as Baldwin apples, and the
Green Maiden Blush nearly three
times as much.
The practice of using
of apples, wind falls,
semi-decayed apples for cider is a
bad one. No one wants to drink a
liquid that is contaminated with
filth and that is made of substances
unfit for food.
There is but one way to protest
against such abuses. Buy the brand
that is known to be prepared care-
fully and under conditions that war-
rant a wholesome, clean, pure, fresh
product.
Use it freely. It is only an ex-
cellent brand of freshly prepared
cider that can be considered as
valuable in disinfecting the stomach
and intestines, A wholesome brand
of fresh apple juice will give amaz-
ing results in this respect, but a
poorly prepared concotion 1s
gerous to use.

DEMAND INCREASES
FOR CAMP LEASES.
Permanent camp site leases on the
State forests now number 2301.
More camp site leases were granted
in 1930 than in any previous year
in the history of the department,
according to a statement by Forest-
er William A. August, of the bu-
reau of management, Department of
Forests and Waters. Forester August
has charge of permanent camp site
leases. Last year rentals from camp
site leases amounted to $19,449.60,
and it is expected that this year
thé receipts will be approximately
$25,000,
State forest camp sites are leased !
at a. nominal rental, ranging from |
$7 to. $15 a year, but there is no
charge for renewing, transferring or
terminating these leases. These re.
ceipts are paidinto the State Treas-
ury and become a part of the State
School Fund.
This increased number of camp
sites may be dttributed in part to
the unemployment conditions, as
many of the lessees, have reported
that due to unemployment they
spend practically all their time in
the forest where they canlive more
economically in their rustic forest
cottages and thereby escape the
temptations for extravagance which
constantly confront them in the
towns and cities.

GIVES HIM GREAT “KICK.”
Dead languages are dead ‘because
they had no slang to vivify them,”
is the opinion of Dr. Frank H.
Vizetelly, dean of American lexicog-
raphers, who acknowledges he gets
“a great kick out of the expressive-
ness of American slang.”

spontaneously it originates,” he de-
clares, and when usage decrees he
puts slang in the dictionary.
“There is a certain sincerity about
sl that frees it altogether from
snobbery,” says the lexicographer,
“gnd it leaves very litle room for
doubt. There's not the least doubt
about a man's meaning when he
calls you a dud, a wet blanket or a
calamity howler. You can’t pos-
sibly kid yourself that you don't,
and I don’t mean maybe!

So experience has taught me that a
spieler shoots a hot line nowadays—
and how! I've learned to know
what it means to do a bit.
“H. L. Mencken certainly wasn't

is the source from which the ener
gies of decaying speech are con-
stantly refreshed.’
“Did slang come over with the
| Mayflower? Who knows? Isn't
there a bit of itin Priscilla’s? “Why
don’t you speak for yourself, John?’
Anyway, slang has been with us
since the Declaration of Independ-
ence and the days when “Yankee
doodle stuck a feather in his cap
and called it macaroni.” The Mac-
aronis were the Marylanders in the
Revolutionary war. :
“The slang picked up by vaude-
ville acts consists of wise cracks
culled from newspapers or cribbed
from some bozo lit up with a little
pony oil. Then it is shot across
the footlights, and all the boobs in
the trenches of the underworld buzz
around the dance halls, shooting the
stuff off as if it were thier own.
“And what are they? Just noth-

FRANCE ARGUES OVER
OUT IN ARMY SERVICE.
For the first time since France
i became a Republic, the period of
| compulsory service in the army has
| been reduced from 18 months to a
i year effective today.
|” ‘By thislaw the nation reduces its
army 100,000 men, a drastic cut
{ which has brought criticism from
i Nationalists who see a new danger
in growth of the German Facist
spirit.
The French Government main-
tains the country thus gives proof
that its desire for peace is stronger
than mere words.
Since 1928, when the 12-months’
military service law was voted,
!France’s military advisers have
| gone about the task of preparing
for the army's reorganization.
It was the former leader of the
German Reichswehr, General von
Seeckt, who gave French strate-
gists the new idea.
“The Allies at Versailles,” said
General von Seeckt, “imposed upon
Germany the type of army best
i adapted to war of the future. A
small mobile army, quick to handle,
is more deadly than a ponderous
mass of men slow to act.
The military maneuvers, carried
out by French forces during the
summer and autumn on the Italian
and German frontiers convinced the
i French High Command, headed by
| Minister of War Andre Maginot,
| that the German general was right,
iIn all, the army of slightly more
than 100,000 men was in the field,
| equipped with every -war device
i known to science.
France's army of one year's serv-
lice is expected to total 523,769 ef.
| fectives, although acording to M.
{ Briand at Geneva the figure is 556,-
i 000 representing a reduction of 41
i per cent.
| According to report M. Maginot
| is. credited with the idea of a super-
efficient group of 200,000 men avail-
, able for any given danger point,
: while the remaining force of 300,-
1000 odd men would be reinforce-
| ments.
There are

i
106,000 professional
but it is alleged
that only 46,000 remain in France,
! the remainder being spread among
| the overseas possessions. From the
| conscripts France could rely at a
! given time upon only 90,060 as be-
{ing efficient soldiers, it is claimed,
! thus leaving France at a disadvan-
i tage against Germany with figures

DO MODERATE DRINKERS
OUTLIVE TEETOTALERS?
pe
About the most interesting
tribution to this age-old argument
concerning the effects of alcohol on
the human species is the evidence
assembled by Dr. Raymond Pearl, of
Johns Hopkins University. This
seems to prove that moderate or
occasional users of alcoholic liquors
live longer than teetotalers.
I have recently had occasion to
thoroughly review this investigation.
It has nothing to do with prohibi-
tion, for the people investigated did
their drinking and were mostly
dead and gone before there was any
prohibition in Baltimore—where, for
that matter, there isn’t much yet:
‘Dr. Pearl was only interested inthe
dead ones, since he was studying the
length of life and a man doesn’t
know how long he is going to live
until he is dead.
From family histories gathered in
an investigation of the predisposing
causes of tuberculosis, Dr. Pearl se.
lected about 2,000 cases in which
the records seemed clear as to the
individuals’ drinking habits. These
‘he classified as total abstainers,
moderate or occasional drinkers and
heavy or steady drinkers. The
heavy drinkers
time, having shortened their lives
from five to ten years by their use,
or overuse of alcohol.
This evidence of increased mor-
tality from the heavy or steady use
of alcohol is in accordance with all
previous investigations. It is suf-
ficient to be indisputable, and suf-
ficient to have dragged down the
average length of all users of al-
cohol to considerably less than that
of teetotalers, provided all drinkers
had been classed together, which is
the usual classification.
The distinctive thing that Dr.
Pearl did was to make three classi-
fications, and the distinctive fact
con-
died - before their.
' NEBRASKA TOWN NOW
ON A CASH BASIS.
Bloomfield, Nebraska, has attract-
ed the attention of the United States
by .an experiment which is watched
with considerable interest.
The merchants of Bloomfield, pop-
ulation 1,500, decided twenty-eight
months ago to put the place on a
cash basis. Today only automo-
biles are sold on credit. The orginal
idea was to get rid of dead beats.
Some people did move away.
Motion picture theatres were
hard hit at first, because apparent-
ly the Bloomfielders didn’t have
spare cash for recreation after pay-
ing cash to the merchants for
necessities. But now the place is
adjusted to the new arrangement,
that he proved was that his class
of moderate drinkers actually lived
a fraction of a year longer than
these whose descendants swore they
never touclied a drop.
What his data seems to
prove is not that alcohol directly
benefits or adds to the vitality of
human life, but rather that under
_the social conditions. existing in past
generations in Baltimpre the people
who drank alcohol occasionally were
for .some reason a better and more
vigoru$ class of human stock than
those who never touched liquor.
That is an’ interesting idea, and
one could offer all sorts of reasons
as to why it might be so. It would
also be interesting to speculate on
whether the moderate drinkers of
th present generation livin under
our prsent regime of prohibition will
be a more vital group and live
longer than those whoobey the law.
But one thing, is sure, and that is
those who drink heavily of prohibi-
tion booze pass in their checks
ahead of time, just as their grand-
daddies did with a much better
booze.
