WHAT DO YOU EAT?
A MilIer's ODiDiOn-PeOple
Are Not Baking, Now
adays.

Il believe peoples tastes in
foods are becoming more simple" "
said j. 7. Mueller, secretary Of
the Fraternity of Operative Mil
lers' association in Kansas City
the other morning. They don t
load up with beefsteak and hot
cakes nowadays at breakfast, as
they formerly did. Even tn
workingmen - manual labor, -
meNn-have learned to get alon e
on lighter foods from which they
obtain as much nOurishment,
Diets are simpler now. Of course
the popularity of these foods,
chop feed some people call them,
and the large number put on the
market, has resulted in the pro-
ductiOn of some that are dark in
color, which gives opportunity for
adulteration. y bad quality of
wheat is used in these dark stuffs.

buckwheat nowadays. Did you
ever think Of thatl This is be-
cause it is grown in so few Sec
tions of the country; the supply is
so small that it is necessarily
mixed with wheat -four. This
doesn't injure it, however, il the adj
ditiOn is pure and good. The
bleaching of the flour doesn't i'm
prove it. The tests show, too,
that it doesn't injure it. The new
process dries the flour as age would
do, but does it in less time. Flour
two or three months old is whittier
than when you first grind it.
CAN'T COMPETE WITH BAKERS.
There are many kinds of -four
now, standard grades, patents,
bakers whole wheat -four, gluten
flour. Master bakers are taught
in these times to understand their
work. They go to laboratories and
schools instead of learning by an
apprenticeship. They learn all
there is to know about -four and
baking with the result that they
can produce a loaf OF bread 80
cheaply that no housewife can
compete with them. If a woman
values her time, her health, her
looks, she won't bake bread in
these times. If she puts even a
small price on these she'll
find that the loaf she bakes cost
much more than if she paid a
nickel for it at the bakery. That's
not advertising; it's a fact. People
are not baking, nowadays; they
are buying their bread, pies and
cakes. It's cheaper.
| DECEPTION IN WHEAT.
"Millers don't know what
they're getting when they buy
wheat, sometimes not until it's in
the mill. The practice of doc
toring' it has grown so that it is
actually criminal. Some grain
men and elevator operators buy
sprouted wheat, poor, musty
grades, scour it and then mix with
good grain. The state inspectors
pass this stuff and it gets into the
mills. We want a government in
spector, beyond influence, a man
who understands his business, and
not a politician"

The emperor of Germany has

fact there is a 5000 pound stone
monument marking the spot in a

royal sport, and the emperor sits
himself upon a camp stool in one
of his private parks, and the atten-

Value of Estate $500.

The following item is from the
st. Louis Republic. John S.
Marmaduke is well remembered in
Mexico, where he was raised;
Attorney Waller Edwards, for
merly secretary of the Board of
Public improvements, filed notice
in the Probate Court yesterday
that he would present claim of
Henry c. Duncan against the es-
tate of John S. Marmaduke for
$l4,944 Sc.
Marmaduke, who was a cousin
of John S. Marmaduke, formerly
Governor of Missouri, died re-
Gently at the residence of his sis
ter, Mrs. Lizzie NJ. Eskridge, No.
Abs Delmar boulevard, to whom
he willed his property and made
her executriX of his estate without
bond. She gave the value of the
estate as 800, but is disqualified
from administering upon the es-
tate, being married.
The claim against Marmaduke's
estate consists of a note for 81 800
dated October 4, 1899, and one
for s. POO, dated January 4, 1898,
with interest, and eight drafts
ranging from $14 to $50, alleged
to have been issued in 1899. A
payment of 5000 is credited.

Mans Fingers at Her Throat,
Following item quoted from the
st. Louis POst-Dispatch:

Following item quoted from the
st. Louis Post Dispatch:
Mrs. Lillian Jeffries, Mexico, No. +,
awakened by feeling a mans fin
gers on her throat about daylight
Thursday at the lodging house,
1903 Market street ,obeyed his com
mand not to say a word on pain Of
death. However, when he ran from
the room and she found a pocket
book missing she ran after h i'm.
She followed the intruder into
another room and demanded the
return of her pocketb ,O'i. 1t was
refused and she left the house to
get a policeman.
When Policeman Driscoll arriv-
ed the man was not to be found in
the house. The woman described
him, large emphasis on red shirt
with pearl buttons. The policeman
spied such a shirt about one block
from the house. The man in the
shirt ran as the policeman ap'
preached and the latter changed
his gait to run.
The policeman was stopped by
a boy teamster, who handed him q
pocketbook which he said the man
had dropped. At Markent and Six
teenth streets. the fugitive was ov
ertaden and arrested. He gave
his name as Charles Brown, aget
"a, 1907 Papin street, and said hC
was huckster. He denied the
charge of burglary, but said he
had been in the lodging house thai
morning.
Mrs. Jeffries identified the pock
etbook aud the small amount of
money it contained as her own,
Brown is held at the Four Courts
on the charge of burglary.

A decision was rendered in the
supreme court last week that is
practically a death blow to bucket
shops. 1t decides that the bucket
shops have no legal right to use
the quotations of the Chicago
board of trade, which makes the
markets. 1t is difficult to see the
difference between the board of
trade except in the amount of
business done, yet there are few
who will not say amen to the de-
cision. The bucket shops have
ruined more men, caused more de-
falcatiOns and more woe than all
other species of gambling COM
bined. When once acquired it
seems to be one Of the most te.
nacious of gambling habits. The
board of trade is on a larger scale
and mostly patrOnized by men who
are making this Il business while
the bucket shops catch the un-
wary who takes the flyer, as they
term 1t, on the side and spend the
best part of their lives trying
to get back what they lose. The
bucket shop is only the board of
trade on a small scale brought tC
your door, and the supreme court
is certainly drawing a fine distinc
tion when it gives the board OF
trade monopoly of this species OF
gambling, but if it shuts up the
bucket shops it will accomplish
some good.-MoberIy Democrat.

Mrs. Beal was formerly Miss

away, leaving $25O.O00,00O; William
Waldorf Astor, chiefly In real estate,
