“Eaten till we were clogged”

Variety of diet during the winter time month’s at Winter Quarters was meager to say the least. As it was, even during the best of times, without the luxury of stepping into a store, I’m sure there was very little choice. Is it any wonder then when the spring and summer months arrived and the earth brought forth her bounty that Helen Mar Whitney penned the above phrase. By the way, what did she and others eat “until they were clogged?”


a.      Watermelon

b.      Corn

c.       Strawberries

d.      Apples

Yesterday’s answer:

 (D)   Listening to music

In the matter of the training and education of his own children, President Young said the following: “I had not a chance to dance when I was young, and never heard the enchanting tones of the violin, until I was eleven years of age; and then I thought I was on the high way to hell, if I suffered myself to linger and listen to it. I shall not subject my little children to such a course of unnatural training, but they shall go to the dance, study music, read novels, and do anything else that will tend to expand their frames, add fire to their spirits, improve their minds, and make them feel free and untrammeled in body and mind.”
