Your Food and
Your Health
DR. ALFRED 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 tastçs
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 use Llano products, especially when
they cost no more than the inferior article.

pages and see if you can benefit yourself and
us by using—
LLANO PURE FOODS

Products and the addition of greea. 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 in
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 artjcles '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 in 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.

LLANO PRODUCTS ARE PURE
LLANO SUGAR CANE SYRUP—
Acres and acres of Llano Sugar Cane are
each year harvested and made into syrup.
The process is Jo run the cane stalks through
the crusher, which separates the juice from
the pulp, the juice running direttly to the
cooking pans where steam pipes boil out the
water, leaving the thick light brown syrup.
It is the essence of tH£ cane, contains all the
mineral elements of the juice, nothing being
added and nothing taken away except what
gees off in steam. Absolutely pure carre juioe
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
in 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
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 cne
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-polished 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
cents 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-polished.
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.
5c a lb. at Llano, any quantity.

Practical Example Supplies
the Most Impressive*Lesson.
"I'd rather see a sermon than to
hear one any day,
I'd rather cne should walk with me
than merely show the way.
The eye's a better pupil and more
willing than the eajr,
Fine counsel is confusing, but ex
ample's always clear;
And the best of all the preachers
are the men who live their creeds.
For to see good put in action is
what everybody needs."
The greatest difficulty that every
earnest truthseeker has to contend
with consists in throwing off the pre
conceptions which have been indoc
trinated into his mind from early in
fancy, and in bringing an open, hon
est, unbiased, impartial intention to
the study of any subject requiring his
attention. One of the greatest time
worn illusions that has deluded man
persistently has been the belief that if
certain teachings have been memorized
verbatim one thereby has gained pos
session of knowledge. But a little re
flection will show that this is a very
much mistaken idea. You, for instance
may have believed that a certain friend
of yours had died, because .such a re
port has come to your ears and yotj
believed it. A later communication,
however contradicted the previous sta
tement and a few days later your
friend turns up sound in life and limb,
informing you that the report of his
demise was entirely too much exagger
ated. You were simply misinformed,
and you accepted a false report for
straight goods and were accordingly
misled. And you can thus be misin
formed and be misled on any and
every subject that is beyond your ca
pacity and opportunity to verify in any
way at present known to you. Conse
quently the wise thing to do is to sus
pend acceptance of any information
that is of no practical utility here and
now and cannot be verified by you
thru actual test.
A human being learns by observa
tion and experience and as it grows,
and develops it perfects its senses and
instruments of knowledge. It is always
rational and from its earliest awaken
ing of consciousness always reasons
or infers correctly according to the
character cf the information gained
in keeping with the extent of know
ledge previously acquired. The intel
ligent pryiciple within requires only
to be put into proper relation with the
world around it, to develop its capacity
for knowledge and happiness.
Present facts serve to instruct and if
fully and thoroughly perceived in de
tail, analyzed and understood, will be
come an eternal possession. Rational
discernment from facts, natural phe
nomena, are not? mere airy surmisçs,
superficial speculations, but solid
truth; and every expectation, fairly
founded on experience is consistent
with universal reason, according to
which all events come to pass. Hence
the propriety and imperative necessity
of investigation, and consequent fore
seeing sagacity which real scientific
truthful investigation and experimenta
tion always confers.
Any single truth, conscientiously
followed up in all of its relations, con
nects with all other truths. The ver
ities of nature being united in one
grand related system of facts, can nev
er lead reason astray. Reason is so
constituted that it can justly weigh evi
dence, compare the new phenomena
with the knowledge already attained,
and it will not accept incompatible
notions. Acuteness of faculty is de
veloped to the degree that undivided
continuous attention is maintained.
When dealing with material substan
ces the consciousness in perceiving,
thinking and willing must co-ordinate
its purposes with physical modes of
functioning and procedure. Any kind
of a prejudice which disqualifies a per
m so far, a disorder of the intellect.
The will has become self-fettered and
refuses to listen to further testimony.
The faculty or power of discrimination
has been inhibited and made inopera
tive.

pferceiving, comparing, choosing,
pursuing. We sleep and lose sight
or consciousness of the material envir
onment; we wake and dreams fade,
away, because the attention is attrac
ted by and fixed upon external
internal activities. But whether
sleeping or waking the principle of in
telligence is equally intent and enga
ged 'ill the affairs of life. Circumstan
ces do not change its nature, but only
modify its operations. Even seeming
unconsciousness does not prove its sus
pension. Let the same circumstances
return, and the mind manifests itself in
the sçime manner; for neither physical
elements nor spiritual dynamics can al
ter the affinities of the ego, or liberate
it from the necessity of choice and ac
tion, in accordance with the character
in which it was created. Its freedom
of choice is limited in its sphere by
eternal laws, and any contrariety in
its action brings it into a clash with
some obstacle, so that persistence in
erroneous inclinations leads only to in
creased suffering. A man is rendered
incapable of his natural delight when
on the wrong track. A s a rational be
ing he can find his proper liberty and
right course of action only by return
ing to honest and upright intelligence}
which is expressed in interest in the
well-being of his fellow men; of cour
tesy and due regard for the equitable
suppply of all natural necessaries and
social amenities for all.
All friction and altereation in hu
man affairs can be obviated if people
will simply make honest use of the
knowledge discovered and demonstrat
ed. At Llano Colony we have a defin
ite program, in accordance with scien
tific knowledge. . It is one of inte
gral co-operation. What it is and how
it works, out is published far and wide
every week. No one need deceive him
self. There is no disposition to impose
co-operation on anyone on the outside.
Our work is strictly constructive and
within the laws of the land. We be
lieve in individual right living, and in
the practical application of the Golden
Rule in all our dealings with one an
other and with society in general. Oth
er people are perfectly free to take a
different view of things without con
demnation from the colonists. We do
not seek nor care to engage in contro
versy with anyone. Controversial op
position can neither serve nor hinder
the advancement of truth. To the ex
tent that men sense moral relations,
they become conscious of responsibili
ty. They realize that on the direction
of their voluntary energies depend ei
ther their weal or their woe. Possess
ing the ability of making a choice in
accordance with their knowledge, they
can fix their attention cri definite ob
jects and attain them. When this
point is reached, man is no longer the
hapless football of fate, but the mas
ter of his destiny
To get this truth home to' everyone
who cares to know, is the aim in the
psychology meetings, mental science
classes and man-power classes. Noth
ing happens by chance. Every un
pleasant experience is due to want of
knowledge and faulty self-discipline.
As man thinketh in his heart (the ideas
he has that impel his motives) ,so is he.
HAND-MADE-TO
MEASURE SHOE FROM LLANO
By G. H. Cox
In a recenf number of the Colonist,
one writer said that people have lost
their gaiety.
When I was a boy, 50 and 60
years ago, people of all kinds, with few
exceptions, went about singing, whist
ling, and laughing, so that the very air
vibrated with happiness.
At that time all our footwear was
made by hand and a careful measure
of the feet enabled a shoe to be made
that was easy, and none had to suffer
with feet paining.
Footwear being made for comfort
and wear, shes often lasted three or
four years.
Then came the machines, trying to
imitate hand work at a lesser price.
Mostly by cheapness, they drove
handwork out, except where a few rich
men in large cities still have their shoes
made from measure and have them
properly fitted.
Now, when a shoe is made with a
machine, there is no way of knowing
who will wear it or how it will fit.
The more quickly it wears out, the
sooner another pair is needed; and,
should it hurt so badly that it has to
b e thrown awap, it would also call for
another pair.
Rags apd old paper are just as good
to sell as first-class leather, if they on
ly take thè finish, and they are better
for profit.
%You know, people can't sing, whis
t] Ci orlaughwiththeir feet hurting bad
]y. And is it not possible, that this
t . . l I painful
loss of gaiety is caused by
feet ? '
There are some things that make a
shoe comfortable and durable—such
as sidelining, which can be done only
by hand. Most nations have held on
to handwork longer than our country,
where many people contend the ma
chine beats hand or brain; and that
may be, because their feet hurt so bad
Iv that they can't think with anything
else.
Iqr making shoes for profit, the more
cutting and sewing that can be done
on them, the more the price and pro
fit and the less the durability and the
comfort".
Hand work, which is the best of all,
for
is becoming a lost art.
Llano Colony's shoe shop can
and mail a hand-sewed shoe with
one piece of leather in the whole
per, up to and including No 10
$7.50 and postage.
Shoes larger than No. !0, or
crippled feet, would cost enough
to pay for extra trouble.
The same shoe made with nails costs
$5.00 and postage.
Only a limited number can be made
at present; but if you will set your
foot down firmly enough, without
standing on it, mark around it with a
pencil, giving shape of the foot, then,
with a common measure tape measure
around the ankle for top of shoe, and
then the instep, ball, and heel, giving
measurements down to 1-8 inch, we
shall be very certain to fit yau, and
vou will have a shoe in which you can
be gay.
FASCIST! ATTACK
CO-OPERATIVE MOVEMENT
The Italian' co-operative movement
has suffered heavily from the attacks
of/the Fascisti, the "black shirt" revo
lutionists of Italy, says a statement
just received from the Italian Co-oper
ative League by the Àll-American Co
operative Commission. "Co-operative
Societies have been violently suppress
ed," the statement reads, "while hun
dreds more have been paralyzed owing
to the fact that their managers are ex
pressly forbidden to Jive in the same
places in which the societies ODerate.
Again, hundreds of societies, under the
nace of destruction, have beeiSHRDL
menace of destruction, have been
obliged to pass into the hands of the
Fascisti." Persistent attacks, acts of
violence, massacre of hundreds of the
leading co-operators of the country,
burning of property, devastation and
pillase, have been experienced in near
ly all of the Italian provinces and are
the marks of destruction which the
Black Shirts have left behind them in
in their seizure of the government by
force.
