In a copy of the Eos Angelos Eve- j '
■ ig Herald which came to the Nugget
a.i ctum is a contributed editorial by
Vnna Beicroft Briggs who is the si*
vr of Mrs. Heimhch of this town. '
jhc advocates that efforts be made nil
over the country to get men and wo
men to live on and to cultivate the
unused land. Hhe says men will live
n tents or even cruder dugouts and
through incredible hardship in wur
ft cm which ttiey can get nothing
gi cd. Why cannot they live in tents
or little houses at first while they ire
hi'ping to feed starving millions in
stead of helping to kill them? So
strongly does she favor the cultiva
tion of land that she would make it a
r minal offense to hold land uncul
tivated or deny any man or womui
the right to make the earth yield it
ircrease.

WHAT IT MEANS TO EAT AN APPLE
“Do you know what you are
eut.ng?” said the doctor to the
i little girl.
“An apple of course.”
■ ‘You are eating,” said the
j doc.or, "albumen sugar, gum,
$ malic acid, gallic acid, fiber, wa
ter and phosphorus."
j "1 hope those things are good,
they sound alarming?”
"Nothing could be better. You
ate, I observed, rather too much
m at foi d n icr. The malic acid
o- apples neu: ralizes the excess
of chnky matter caused by eat
ing too much meat, and thereby
helps to keep you 3ound. Apples
are good for your complexion,
it.eir acids drive out the noxi
ous matters which cause skin
eruptions. They are good for
ycui bruin, which those same
u^x.ous matters, If retained,
render sluggish. Moreover, the
achl3 of the apple diminish the
acidity of the stomach that
c»,me8 with some forms of in
u.gustion.
Then, too, the phosphorus, of
which the apple contains a larg
er percentage than any other
fruit or .vegetabe, renews the
essential nervous matter of the
Drain and the spinal column.
"Oh, the ancients were not
wrong when they esteemed the
apple the food of the Gods—the
magic renewer of youth! to
which the Gods have resorted
the.n they felt themselves old |
and feeble. 1

WASHINGTON. Jan. SI.—Aero
pl fies for the United States coast

government officials und legislators of

ided for by the present congress. The
naval bill, now pending, carries an
appropriation to purchase aircraft for
ihe coast guard. The bill will be
reached in the course of the next fort
n'ght, and it was today freely predict
ed by those concerned now in Wash •
ngton that before the end of next
year ueroplanes will be patrolling the
Atlantic and Pacific coasts and ndd
ng materially to the efficiency of that
branch of service whose function It
s to preserve lifo and property from
.he elements.
Coast guard headquarters anticipat
ing the appropriation, has already de
tailed several Junior officers to take
courses of instruction in flying. Thej
are now at naval aviation stations.
Officers are also formulating plans for
inaugurating ‘.he Innovation. When a
ship is in trouble too far off-shore to
be reached by line-throwing guns,
they declare, the aeroplane may carry
a rope to the distressed vessel which
may result in the saving of many
lives and much property. Aeroplanes
can also carry lines to wrecks when
the 3ea is too rough for lifeboats. In
definitely locating derelicts the aero
planes should prove Invaluable offi
