The demand for Kaffir corn is in
creasing. But short time ago, peo-
pie were really disagreeing as to
whether this product was fit for hogs
to eat or not, and now the mills are
grinding it into flour for mans own
use as food. Not only that, but the
mills are beginning to create a market
for this grain In order to secure more
of it to be made into -four. Those
who have tried the flour pronounce it
frst-class. There may be time com.
ing when the unsuspecting consumer
will be eating what is labelled wheat
flour but which may contain some
"alloy" Of Kaffir -four. The "alloy,"
however, will perhaps only enhance
the quality of the -four.

Some Of the residents living in the Pico

A passenger living on Grand avenue rides
down on the cable line to First and
Spring streets and takes q transfer to the
electric line South" he then has fifteen
or twenty minutes to spare in which to
transact his business; then boards Uni
verstv car south and again transfers at
Tenth and Grand avenue to his homo.
Tns scheme IL utilized most often BY
women. who only wish to stay down town
q short time. II . transfer 10 refused to
the University line then one is taken for
the Fourth stree: or the Maple avenue
lines, and the passenger rides to the COR
ner OF Fourth or Fifth and Spring streets
and then gets transfer to the University
line.
