Your Health Depends on
the Food You Eat!
DR. ALFRhD McCANN, one of America's
foremost food specialists, is authority for the
statement, based upon his experience, that a
cage of white mice, fed solely on white rice'
(polished) almost starved to death, because
of the lack of the vital elements of the food.
A cage of similar mice, fed on unpolished
rice, were still in a healthy condition, when
some of their friends in the first cage were
dying. Later, the mice were fed the polish
which had been removed from the polished
rice at the mill, and some of them Recovered.
So the mice were starved because the vi
tal food elements had been removed. This
same condition must apply to you, friend, in
a more or^ less degree. The profit - taking
world MUST make a profit. People's tastes
are perverted by the scheme of making rice
and flour and other foods LOOK NICE AND
WHITE.
A WAY OUT
LLANO can offer you a few of its own en
tirely PURE food products which have not
been devitalized, and if you value your
health, and the condition of your children,
you will ufte Llano products, especially when
they cost no more than the inferior article.
Read about the products in the following
pages and see if you can benefit yourself and
us by using—
LLANO PURE FOODS
LLANO PRODUCTS ARE PURE
LLANO SUGAR CANE SYRUF—
Acres and acres of Llano Sugar Cane are
each year harvested and made into syrup.
1 he process is to run the cane stalks through
the crusher, which separates the juice from
the pulp, the juice running directly to the
cooking pans where steam pipes boil out the
water, leaving the thick light brown syrup.
It is the essence of the cane, contains all the
mineral elements of the juice, nothing being
added and nothing taken away except what
goes off in steam. Absolutely pure cane juice
just as nature intended us to eat sweet stuff.
Apply it on Llano Peanuts and you have
at once a well balanced ration. Added to
food in cooking it replaces the devitalized
white sugar, and is much cheaper.
Sold in gallon cans at $1.00 per gallon; or
irtK larger kegs. Express or postage extra.
Weight about 10 lbs. per gallon.
LLANO SWEET POTATOES—
The value of the Louisiana Yam is not yet
appreciated in the Northern states. Louis
iana can grow splendid sweet potatoes, and
they are exceedingly healthful. Ever had
candied Yams? Try roasting Llano sweet
potatoes and pouring Llano Sugar Cane Sy
rup over them in the oven ; or, they can be
sliced and fried in a few minutes. Some
folks boil them, but they are best when
freshly roasted. Make excellent filler for
pies, and can be used in numerous ways by
the resourceful cook.
Sold by the crate dehydrated, at $1.50
per crate. Weight about 61 lbs.
LLANO PEANUT BUTTER—
The Llano Peanut Butter is different from
most other butters in that it is ABSOLUTELY
PURE. The selected Spanish nuts are roast
ed lightly, and ground in our mill. Nothing

LLANO CRATE—
Last year Llano offered a sample crate of
Llano goods produced by the co-operators,
and we are offering a similar crate again.
Here is *a substantial sample of Llano s
PURE FOOD products, put up in one ship
ment at prices below the mail order houses:
Llano Pure Food Dept., Newllano, Leesville, La.
With an assortment of Llano Pure Food
Products and the addition of green vegeta
bles and fruits, you can live a sane, healthy
life.
Llano Colony is blazing the trail of a new
saner, healthier method of living. Adultera
ted food is the result of the profit-making
system. Llano is abolishing this system ill
the colony, and so pure foods for their nu
tritive and health-giving qualities are a re
sult.
These PURE FOODS are offered to YOU
at almost the same prices that you may get
the inferior articles at the big mail-order
houses. Why, then» should you continue to
put poison and trash into your stomach? We
know that transportation is high, but your
saving id sickness, your improved vitality and
the 'pleasure of knowing that you are eating
pure food, made and shipped to you by
YOUR COMRADES is ample compensation.
Get busy now with your friends, and club
together for a shipment regularly of LLANO
PÜRE FOODS. It will benefit you and will
help us, too.

is added but a little salt to flavor, and no
thing is taken away. The natural peanut
oil is rich in flavor and in mineral elements.
Many butter-factories remove this oil and
substitute an inferior mineral oil. Llano pea
nut butter is PURE.
Packed in cans for mailing at 30c for one
pound, $1.00 for four pounds. Post extra.
LLANO PEANUT CANDY—
A most appetising, delicious, nutritious
sweet. Made entirely from Llano syrup and
Roasted peanuts. 20c lb., postage extra.
UN-p.olished Rice is Llano's
Best Food Offer
Only 5c lb.
LLANO UN-POLISHED RICE—
Rice is becoming known as one of the
best of cereal foods. Why people should
eat polished rice is not clear. The experiment
with mice revealed the fact that the best
of the rice is removed in the polishing pro-,
cess. Polished rice lacks vital elements.
Llano has its own rice farms and is having
a large quantity of this rice milled UN-pol
ished for its own use. We will have several
tons for sale. It is being offered at five
centl a pound at the colony and at this
price it is cheaper than the polished rice,
and cheaper than most other cereals. You
can eats lots of rice when it is UN-polisbed.
Look up your cookery book on recipes for
making dainty rice dishes. Boiled rice with
Llano syrup is a good ration for breakfast
or dessert, or flavored with Llano peanut
butter it is very appetising.

Golden Middle-of-the Road
to Successful Co-operation
The Llano idea views and approach
es the social and economic problem
of mankind from an entirely new an
gle. It accepts as a self-evident propo
sition that the institutions of a people
should be so constituted as to meet
the imperative, inherent natural human
requirements of a full, complete, and
satisfying livelihood for every,, man,
woman, and' child of all races without
any qualifying reservation, discrimina
tion cr undue advantage in favor of
any one, regardless of creed or polit
ical affiliation.
Through more than eight years of
actual experience, the Llano colonists
have grasped the indisputable, funda
mental fact that the modern world
problem is essentially psychological in
character, and. Ihat the ideas and mo
tives with which people are imbued
must be taken into account in any so
lution that is attempted if satisfactory
and practical results are to be realized.
When, in connection with the consid
eration of this subject, freedom to
teach is claimed, demanded, and exer
cised, freedom to learn or to decline to
learn any particular subject must also
be conceded. For it surely shows a
woeful deficiency of psychological in
sight, thoughtful consideration, lack of
tact and discretion on the part of any
one, to attempt unwisely to compel
others to listen to some subject or oth
er in which they take no interest, do
not care to consider, and at a time
and place when they have come to con
sider matters of immediate concern, vi
tal of their immediate concern, and to
which the subject thrust in is entirely
foreign and has no visible relation at
all.
Every one who writes or speaks up
on subjects of public interests for the
information of the general public
should possess a due sense of respon
sibility and assume full accountability
for his utterances. He who speaks to,
cr writes for, the public is doubly
bound to test the objective truth and
useful applicability of that which he
expresses. The obligation to be accur
ate, to say no more than he can objec
tively and concretely demonstrate, is
most obligatory. Juggling with words
incoherent mouthings, are as sounding
brass and a tinkling cymbal. There
is no method of self-discipline better
calculated to clear one's own ideas
about a difficult subject, than that
which arises out of the effort* to put
them forth, with fullness and precision,
without threats or offensive ridicule, in
language which all the world can un
derstand and appreciate, and capable
of being experimentally demonstrated.
Accurate, painstaking thinking makes
easy, reading, hearing, learning and
practice.
In advocating productive and con
structive co-operation on the basis of
reciprocity, advanced by us as being
non-sectarian and non-partisan in any
way whatsoever, we must draw a clear
line of demarcation as to the subjects
discussed at our general gatherings be
tween accurate knowledge indispens
able in the operation of our industries
and social life,, and essential to human
wellbeing in general here and now;
that has been successfully demonstra
ted and is calculated to make us hom
ogeneous with respect to our work,
be verified by any number of applica
tions; and merely assumed truths, that
are only more or less well founded
speculations, but are not in any way
related to and have no practical use
fulness either in our enterprises or in
our social life.
Newllano is a great school, but the
courses to which the grown-ups de
vote themselves are entirely elective.
Fréedom of choice is predominant
and must be respected,, All kinds of
classes can be organized for any par
ticular subject and students may be en
listed for Hhem, but no one can be
compelled to attend any one of them
or be compelled to listen to any sub
ject antipathetical to him. The psy
chology meeting on Thursday nights is
not devoted to any particular class of
subjects, but it is generally understood
that only such subjects are to be
brought up that will assist in drawing
all the colonists closer together and
knit them indissolubly in the bonds of
fraternal fellowship. And this as a
matter of course excludes any and ev
ery subject and manner of representa
tion that in any way can offend and
affront the sensibilities of anyone.
Acrimonious remarks, reflecting on the
convictions of any one, that in no way
conflict with the practice of the gol
den rule, with the practice of the prin
ciple of reciprocity, must be scrupu
lously avoided. Any subject can be
taught and studied in separate class
ogy meeting.. There the object is to
develop the co-operative psychology,
our bond of fellowship, that alone can
ensure the success of our co -operative
colony. The Socialists in Europe ha^e
long ago recognized and admitted that
religious convictions are the private
affairs of the individual, and age-long
experience has proven indisputably
that even an error in this matter is nev
er surrendered and a truer conception
adopted as a result of ridicule, insult
and abuse heaped upon believers of
what to us may seem erroneous.
At the psychology meeting on Thurs
day night, November 23, the following
excerpt was read from an article by
Edmund Henry Reeman, entitled "The
Psychological Problem of the World," !
and published in the Chicago "Unity."
"Our whole modern idea of educa
tion is based upon the recognition of
an infinite capacity in the human mind
for mental progress and intellectual de
velopment, and yet the singular thing is
that almost every system of practical
education among us is primarily direc
ted to those immediate ends of material
advance in which man's abilities are
already most completely demonstra
most
ted, to the almost total exclusion
of
life of the world in which our human
attainments are so sadly deficient and
inadequate. So saturated is our life
with the spirit of our prevailing ma
terial commercialism that for a thous
and schools for salesmanship we do
not have so much as a single school for
statesmanship. While when it comes
to definite moral training in the arts of
living the pitiful efforts of our church
se to fill an unfilled need are pathetic
pedagogic parody as compared with
the efficiency we spare no pains to de
velop in every branch of vocational
training.
those departments of social activity,
relationship, and mutual interest in the
The fact about the whole matter,
in short, seems to be that we are think
ing about everything except the most
crucial and fundamental of our prob
lems and are building up a vast struc
ture of social organization without
any adequate sense of social purpose
or any clear understanding of the ne
cessities and requirements of social re
lationship. Yet it is evident that the
world cannot forever muddle along in
its present state of intellectual confus
ion regarding the major problems of,
its life and thére is imminent danger
of this great structure of civilization,
which men have built up, collapsing
under its own weight unless we can "get
down to some of the psychological re
alities of life an dlearn to apply the
powers of intelligent human control to
the developments of material human
progress. Here, then, is an angle of
the world problem that concerns us all.
For there is no such thing as an ab
stract intelligence thaJ can solve our
problems for us. The ONLY INTELLI
GENCE that can be applied to present
problems is the intelligence of which
you and I, my reader, and the multi
tude of our fellow men are capable.
It is all in our minds, AND IN
OUR MINDS ALONE that the capac
ity for new and creative thinking must
be developed. Human life in this
world can only be improved -ancj hu
man social conditions only bettered by
human effort intelligently applied and
directed. Nor can we too strongly em
phasize the importance of this intelli
gent direction and this power of con
structive thought in any effort to im
prove the world. For as Mr. John
Dewey points out in his recent book on
"Human Nature and Conduct," while
a social revolution may effect abrupt
and deep alterations in external cus
toms, in legal and political institutions,
yet actual social change is never so
great as is APPARENT change, and
wherever general and enduring moral
changes do accompany an external
revolution it is because appropriate
habits of thought have previously been
insensibly matured."
Another writer tells us: "As the
world grows older its people absorb
greater knowledge, and that knowledge
is transmitted from parent to son and
daughter, and the son or daughter ab
sorbs additional knowledge as it tra
verses the years of infancy and juven
ility and in time passes the accumula
tion on to. its own offspring. In the
early ages of mankind the world was
ruled by ignorance, superstition, and
idolatry. Before the final eclipse there
will be such intelligence and enlighten
ment as has never been known before.
To-day we are in a transitory stat,e
living, and - learning."
The great trouble is that many er
rors, much superstition and idolatry,
is still lurking in our subconscious
mind and unaware to ourselves they
are stubbornly contending to maintain
themselves.
We hare lately been reading of the
wonderful work Dr. Coue in France
is doing in transforming defective char
acter, eliminating harmful habits, and
liberating thousands of patients from
their physical ailmem
through the practive
ion, claimed to be
just on awakening in
just before going to
when semi-somnolence obt"
As a result of his long st.:
kind, Dr. Coue sums up his
-as follows: "We possess withir
selves a force of incalculable
which, when handle it unco
ly is often prejudicial to us. If,
contrary, we direct it in a conscious
and wise manner, it gives to us the
mastery of ourselves, and allows us
not only to escape from mental and
physical ills; but also to live in rela
tive happiness, whatever the conditions
in which we may find ourselves. Last
ly and above all, it should be applied
to the moral regeneration of those who
.have wandered from the right path."
Comrde Pickett and Dr. Thurman
discussed home Colony affairs, and
Comrade Cuno talked about Embryol
ogy and kindred subjects.

If I had my life to live over again.
I should not seek my living in the co

of my friends in the private business
world better treated and better cared

by their fellow-working-class. Labor
! The co-operative movement is
far behind the best employers of la

the workers live mean lives, and there
