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.
Read about the products in the following
pages and see if you can benefit yourself and
vus by using—
LLANO PURE FOODS
LLANO PRODUCTS ARE PURE
LLANO SUGAR CANE SYRUP—
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
1 mineral elements of the juice, nothing being
added and nothing taken away except what
gees 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, îtfid 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 I 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 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
töns 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 th^n most other cereals. Yoû

The Decisive Influence of
Knowledge in Human Affairs
"Knowledge is of priceless value, be
cause by applying knowledge we can
m^ke our future what we. wish it to be.
When we realize that our present char
acter, our present environment, our
present ability, our present physical
condition, are all the result of our past
methods of thinking, we shall begin to
have some conception of the value of
knowledge."
To many people it may be surpris
ing to learn that their thinking has a
direct relation to the unsatisfactory
state of their health, cf their unpleas
ant domestic relations, their economic
condition and harmful political affairs.
Nevertheless, it's gospel truth just the
same, whether you believe it or not.
All human ills are self-inflicted, either
by harming ourselves through personal
bad habits or by wrong and detrimen
tal actions to one another, or in any
way acting contrary to natural law.
When man first began to think, first
started to occupy himself seriousiy
vith his surroundings, set his intellect
to work to ferret out, detect, discern,
uncover, and mentally grasp the involv
ed processes by which natural phenom
ena appear, manifest and function, he
gained and learned the first dependable
levelaticn that ever entered his life. A
certain recurrent regularity observed
in phenomena is'called a law of nature.
This is not a n\ere opinion, but a funda
mental inherent fact of nature. Any
such law is a uniform process that op
erates in a certain line of manifesta
tions and has been definitely ascertain
ed in all similar instances of that kind,
and is therefore a generalization, so
called. There is nothing speculative
or hazy about a concretely-based gen
eréjization. Every true natural seien
tist knows this concerning the field that
he is familiar with.
But many so-called scientists pre
sume a competency of judgment on
subjects with which they are not famil
iar, and their opinions on such matters
are absolutely valueless. Newcomb,
the then greatest living mathematician
twenty-five years ago, declared Wilbur
Wright s idea of a heavier-than-air fly
ing machine as a natural impossibility;
but development proves that he was ig
norant about the thing that he declared
impossible.» Fifty years ago, a phys
ician in California was sent to an in
sane asylum because he talked about
radio transmission of intelligence, nju
sic and so on ; but what must we think
of the judge that sentenced him to such
a fate? Even Marconi himself was ex
posed to such a danger.
1 hat a man is a scientist and =
so-called authority in a certain line,'
does not» prevent him from passing an
érroneous judgment on things he i s °un
familiar with.
That bad habits are inimical to
health every one has heard—and per
haps experienced in his own case. But
perhaps in most cases the fact has been
overlooked that in the first instance
a bad habit is a mental misconception
as to the proper use of a faculty and
that all illness therefore has a mental
origin. A low state of health, a lack
of vitality, is always due to wrong liv
ing, bad habits, wrong thinking, er
roneous opinions, etc. And wrong liv
ing will be persisted in as longes er
roneous opinions are persisted in. Let
a plague of any kind invade a coun
try; the influenza of a few years ago,
for instance. Thousands pass through
it unscathed, because they are rich in
vitality, fearless and not susceptible to
its ravages, while others succumb by
the thousands.^
Wrong ideas can be discarded and
replaced by definite knowledge con
cerning right ways of living and of
righteous adjustment in all the deal
ings with our fellow men, who in turn
will reciprocate by giving us a square
deal.
Any bad habit can be obviated, ov
udu iiduii tan uc ouviaiea, ov
v escaped from, by resolutely
turning away from it at the very mo
ment when it first presents or suggests
itself »and by silencing it by the oppo
site insinuation. Persistent searching
for truth, right thinking and feeling,
will exorcise the possibility of harmful
or destructive action.
The determining factor in every hu
man life is the character. This thing
we call character is not a fixed un
changeable disposition, attitude, or ca
pacity; on the contrary, it can be mod
ified and transformed to a degree be
yond our present possibility of compu
tation through a determined, definite
change in thinking and in conduct.
Desirable traits can be cultivated by
arousing them purposely and under
stahdingly through the proper stimuli.
Complaisance and agreeableness can
remove 'contentiousness; self-confi
dence eliminates self-depreciation, and
cheerfulness dispels gloom.
Every thought, false or true, is cum
ulative, and you can add a little to the
improvement of your selfhood every
day. The development of the
kind of character is of the utmost im
portance in Llano Colony, tlie suc
cess of tu: enterprise depends .upon it.
Imperfect material is unsuitable for dé
pendable machinery, and a voluntary
co-operative enterprise requires a will
ingness on the part of the people that
come here to become integrated; with
the requirements of the situation. We
must cultivate and develop an entirely
different psychology from that which
has been nurtured in the world of com
petition. Truthfulness, trustworthiness
and reliability are the superstructure,
the substance of the better human in
stitutions. Every co-operator must be
come efficient and skillful in his chos
en work. He must believe in himself;
he must be trustworthy arid deserving
of confidence. Llano co-operation is
inaugurated in accordance with defin
ite knowledge, carried on with techni
cal efficiency, and sustained with the
view of securing to each co-operator
the fruits of his labor while at the same
time increasing them for all—deliber
ate co-operation, conscious living, let
ting- live and helping others to live.
Unsound conditions in the world of
affairs are due to unsound thinking
and feeling; to individual* greed, over
weening pride, sensualism, and other
similar harmful traits. Traits that harm
the individual or other persons. The
normal state of human conduct is one
:n which the individual neither harms
himself nor a fellow man. A depar
ture from that rule is either a sin
against the transgressor himself or his
neighbor; and if it is continued and
persisted in, it ends either in self-de
struction of the individual or of the
group, community, or nation where it
prevails. An that is the reason why
a certain old book tells the truth when
it says that "the law of sin is death."
The immanent law of the universe for
human relationship is reciprocity, a
square déal, mutualism. Persistent vio
lation of that rule involves disaster for
those guilty of the wrongs involved.
Co-operation aims at and practices
reciprocity. Come and help us to
make the golden rule the dominant fac
tor in all human affairs from now on.
CO-OPERATION
Co-operation is a big word.
one of the most important words in
the English language. To the working
people.its significance is great. It is
only through co-operation in its true
sense that they can ever come into
their own.

co-operation, they will come to en
joy the fullest possible fruits of that
which is produced through their ef
forts in industry.
It is through co-operation that men
build great structures—factories, bridg
es, railroads, and industrial establish
ments. It is by co-operation they pro
vide clçîhing, shoes, and the necessar
ies of life. It is with a co-operation
of effort that all.things not possible
of accomplishment by the individual
are developed and brought about for
the enjoyment of man.
And—what is more important in this
age—it is by co-operation that men
can protect themselves from the ravag
es of the selfish.
Labor orgai^jzations are built upon
the principle of co-operation. To be
successful, the individual members
must understand the necessity of co
operating one with the other.
The basis for continuing co-opera
tion is to be found in justice and fair
ness. Employers who talk glibly of
co-operation and then hope to use the
power of such co-operation for their
own selfish ends do not understand the
motive which inspires the workers to
co-operation. A structure of justice

Polished rice, says the Health School
bulletin of the Federated Press, if fed
exclusively to pigeons, will produce
such a condition of acidosis that in
about six weeks their nervous systems
become so poisoned through the influ

all of the symptoms of chorea, or invol
untary jerking or twitching of the mus

"THE LOVE OF EATING"
By Viola Miieîl Kimme!
The love of eating, strange as i
sound, is the cause of all ! he ills
flesh is heir to. It is the love out
which grow all the other selfish le
and ffti which all the others fe
Therefore, the foundation of all
ligent reform is right eating, which
means the complete overcoming öf the
love of eating. The love of eating is
a very different thing from the enjoy
ment of food when eaten. Right eat
ing, while it destroys completely the
'
love of eating, multiplies a hundred»
fold the joys felt when right food »
rationally eaten. Not until the leve of
eating is completèly overcome, can
one "eat to live"; can one be master
of himself in every situation; can one
do the things he would. The sooner
every man, woman, and child wakes
up to this fact, the sooner will the
reign of heaven on earth begin for the
individual, the family, and the race.
The production of food as ready-to
eat and manufactured products, the
distribution of these foods, the prepar
ation and serving of food, the eating
of food, and work of caring for the
dishes, pots, kettles, and pans, of the
table linen, and of the dining rooms,
kitchens, and store-houses,—all this
occupies most of the waking time of
the large majority of the men, women
and children. This condition of slav~,
ery and its consequent materiality can
never be removed until the love of
eating is understood to be the direct
cause of these ills, and right eating is
understood to be the remedy.
Right eating means far more than
fletcherizing the food (chewing it un
til it disappears as pure liquid into the
stomach, and then not until it has lost
its taste) ; refusing to eat meat ; never ,
mixing fruits and vegetables at the
same meal; drinking no stimulants;
eating fruits entirely alone, and then
only one kind at a time; and never
mixing sour food with cooked starches.
These dietic rules are all good enough
in themeslves, but they do not and can
not solve, the problem of freedom of
rational living that will free the race
from its countless ills of disease, in
sanity, love of self, sexuality, crime,
poverty, lack of art, spirituality, equity,
love of the neighbor, etc. Right eat
ing includes the observation of these
isj ru ' es when the food is eaten uncooked.
There can be no return to the land.
no turning of the desert into edenic
gardens of beauty and purity, no con
sciousness cf the Oneness of All Souls,
no judging of righteous judgement, no
equality of the sexes, no destruction of
the prejudices of race, color, occupa
tion and religion, and no end of war,
until the purification of the mind from
all error and love of self is accompa
nied by the purification of the body
thru right eating practiced until the
love of eating i s overcome.
