NEW BREAD AT PARIS.
From Fresh Flour and Greatly In
creases Nutrition.

From Fresh Flour and Greatly In
creasss Nutrition.
Among all the exhibits of bread and
bread-making at the Paris exhibition
the one which interested me most was
a system Of milling and baking COM
bined. 1t is we'll known that ali food
substances when ground to a fine pow
der have a tendency to become oxi-
died. AS is the case with coffee, which
is the best when freshly roasted and
freshly ground, so it is with cereal
-four, which Is never SO aromatic or
so nutritious as at the moment when
it Is first made. The Schweitzer sys-
tenn, in regard to the milling orpera-
tiOns, Is a return to the old system of
m~illstones. with the exception that cor
rugated steel grinders take the place
Of the millstones of the olden days,
says the Paris Messenger. TAese
grinders are SO accurately adjusted as
to admit Of the making Of the finest
flour, while avoiding actual contact OF
the two grinding surfaces. The SIM
plicity of the apparatus, the cheapness
and the ease with which 1t can be in
stalled commend this system particu-
larly for domestic use and for the sup
ply of villages and small communities.
Nevertheless, it is capable of being op-
Grated on an extensive scale, as is
demonstrated by the large establish
ment at La Villette, Paris, where more
than loo. 900 pounds of bread are made
per day from flour not more than "a
hours old. Chemical analysis shows
that the -four made according to the
Schweitzer system has more than
twice as much phosphate material as
that made by the ordinary roller proc
ess. The Importance of this fact in
respect to nutrition should not be lost
sight OF. and we must admit that nu-
triton, not wilderness OF color, IL the
principal object Of bread-making.

"PAT" LOST HIS CASE.
Could Not Stand Reflection on HIS
Eiuhtinu Ability.


An English barrister recently told
an amusing story of an old legal VIC
tory he won when, as counsel for the
defendant, he was examining the COM
plainant in a certain case.
His client, Hat" Wheelock, had got
into a quarrel with m Pat McDon-
aid over a horse transaction. The
quarrel had gone so far that Mcdonald
had made application to a magistrate
to have Wheelock bound over to keep
the peace, alleging that he had threat
ened to do him bodily injury.
When the case was called Mcdonald
testified to the circumstances under
which Wheelock had threatened him.
The cross-examination began.
"Now, Mr.. Mcdonald" the lawyer
said, you declare that you are under
fear of bodily harm?"
81 am, sorr."
"You are even afraid for your life."
81 am, SORT"
Wheelock can whip you, Pat Melon
ald?"
The question reused McDonald's
Irish" instantly.
Hat Wheelock whip me? Nivver!!"
he shouted. Il kin whip him and amy
half-dozen like him."
THAT will do, Mr.. Mcdonald" said
the attorney. The court was already
in a roar, and the lawyer concluded
the case without further testimony or
argument. The action was dismissed,
for it was evident that Pat could not
be under serious bodily fear of a man
whom he could whip so easily.

Five thousand pounds.
The sum seemed to burn itself into
Harold Dynevor's brain as the sum-
mer ripened. He did not actually
know that Mr.. Linden meant to fore
close, but he could not doubt Mr..
PrOctor's warning. He felt that If FIVE
thousand pounds were not forthcom-
ing before the 25th of December his
mother must leave her lifelong home.
and he himself go forth into the world
a ruined man.
He had more than one long confer
ence with the lawyer about raising the
money. Mr.. Proctor thought a private
lender would be the only source
whence he could obtain it. He said
that at a forced sale the Uplands
would fetch very little in excess of
the actual sum needed; but he thought
any n who knew the property might
be inclined to offer six thousand for
it, on the understanding it was to be
redeemed. The one thousand could be
paid back at once. the other five re-
main at interest.
only SO very few people have cap
ital to dispose Of" he concluded, "and
those few seem to tight clear Of land.
I am making inquiries among all like
ly investors. Don't you think General
Craven would consider the specula-
tion?"
He can't. His daughter il to be
married in the autumn, and he'll want
all the ready money he can find"
The general. indeed, when sounded
on the subject. took what seemed to
Mr.. Proctor . very hard view.
You know, Proctor" the old SOL
der declared, "I've no liking for Eus-
tace LindOn, and I'd not mind thwart-
ing him; but I think for any one to
enable the Dynevors to remain al Up
lands would be to do them a cruel
kindness. It is openly reported Lin
don Is coming into residence when
We leave. 1t will be far and away bet
ter for Mrs. Dynevor and her children
not to live. so to say, at his gates I
think it is a blessing in disguise that
they will have to CO."
And I don't!" said the lawyer
stoutly. Think Of the years the place
has been in Mrs. Dynevor's family!
Think how hard her son has worked
to keep 1t up! II he leaves Uplands,
Harold goes out into the world penni-

in a very low voice. You see, she
was the only creature who loved me,
SO l was not likely to forget. She was
very i'll, and very unhappy: but, Mr.,
Dynevor, l can't believe she did what

Il am sure of that, too; but l do

They were at Woodlands, and, with

He found his mother alone when he

picture Of Mrs. Frank Dynevor as she
was when she came home a bride.

He looked at it thoughtfully.

Death to Thousands Successful.
A rich mans grief over the death Of
his favorite grandchild has resulted in
a discovery which is expected to have a
telling effect in the effort to decrease
the alarming mortality among children
of tender years during the heated season.
Two years ago little Jack" Mccormick,
the 2-year-old grandson Of John d.
Rockefeller died of summer complaint
at Mr.. Rockefeller's Tarrytown home.
Torn with grief. Mr.. Rockefeller demand
ed of the physicians the cause of so great
mortality among children from this dis
ease. In reply, they stated that the all
ment was caused by some germ, but what
the germ was and how TO reach 1t they
did not know Mr. Rockefeller deter
mined to open the way TO their finding the
germ, and within a month he had set
aside 100000 for the establishment of
an institute for medical research. Under
the direction of Or. William H. Welch
the work was taken up in earnest at the
Wilson Sanitarium for Children. near
Baltimore. Md. Here each summer from
300 to 500 children are treated.
With the opportunities thus afforded
the germ was isolated. Experts are now
at work to learn some method of destroy

for Alleged Cruelty.


for Alleged Cruelty.
Gerhard Borchers, a farmer who lived
several miles northeast Of Humphreys,
Neb, has been killed by his son Her
man, aged IA years, who used shotgun,
which he had purchased for that pur-
pose. Then, with the help Of his two
brothers, August, aged 10 years. and
John, aged s years. Herman dragged the
body of his father 10 straw stack and
set fire TO it. The three children were
taken TO custody. Each Of the children
practically told the same story. the only
variance being in the degree of eulpabil-
ity in the killing accorded each. Herman,
who is said to have fired the gun that
killed his father duplicates his younger
brothers equally with himself, while they
put the blame on him. The only motive
for the crime given Is that the father,
with whom the children had lived alone
since their muther,s death, had not treat
ed them kindly. Neighbors of Borchers
say they know of no cruelty on the part
of the former.
