WHILE heat .prostrations and
deaths are reported from various
cities of the north, the Brownsville
country is enjoying delightful
gulf breezes. There is a moral to
this short tale, which is that there
is plenty of room in the Browns
vile section for those who find the
heat too oppressive to be comfor-
tably borne. Come down and
help us enjoy life, where the heat
is tempered by perpetual gulf

or BARK OR BANANAS
Substitutes Tor Wheat Flour Used in Many
Countries.


In Portugal the importation of
foreign -four is absolutely prohibit
cd by law, with the result that the
so-called -four commonly sold in
that country is adulterated in an
appalling fashion.
A -four recently purchased in
Portugal proved on analysis to con-
tain So per cent of kaolin or china
clay, while the remainder was
mostly ground rice husks and finely
powdered sawduSt.
In Italy wheat -four is also far
too expensive luxury for the poor
er classes, and a substitute is found
in ground chestnuts, which, how
ever, make a nourishing food.
1t is also in Italy that acorn flour
is used TO a large extent. The
acorns are allowed to partly fer
ment, and are then chopped up,
boiled and dried.
1t is, however, in the north OF
Europe that the strangest substitute
is to be found for wheat -four.
This consists of fir tree bark, which
at first sounds the most unpromis-
ing material possible for the pur-
pose of food.
Yet, during the great famine in
Northern Scandinavia two years
ago, whole families lived upon bark
bread for months on end, and both
in Finland and Northern Siberia it
forms a staple article of diet.
The bark is stripped from the
trees in spring. The outer or scaly
bark is first carefully removed, as
il is the inner or stringy bark
which is the only part fit for food.
This inner bark is then dried in the
sun and stored against winter.
When required for use the bark
is again dried over a slow fire and
ground. The meal is moistened
with cold water into a dough, but
no yeast or baking powder is EN-
ployed, and the dough is then thor
oughly kneaded into large fat cake:
as thin as parchment.
These cakes, before baking, arr
pricked full of holes with an instru
ment made of ptarmigan feathers
and then put into the oven, wher'
they have to be carefully watched
in order that they do not burn.
The cooking process takes only
a very short time, and when done
the cakes are lifted out and hunl
on a rail to cool. After this the,
are piled in a large heap and lai:
by for future use.
There is a considerable amour
of nourishment in this queer bread
lbut is taste is distinctly unpleas

FIVE AND A HALF MILES
Only, to Sulphur Springs by Proposed
New Road Was Considered
IN Court.

A strong fight was made in the
county court this week in the inter-
est of a proposed new road to Sui
phur Springs. The road was once
before, considered by the court al d
at that time was rejected. tt e
route via Graggs, Bicknells, Knots
Fraziers, and others residing in the
stretch of country to the westward
of the Mountain View road. In
behalf of the new highway it is
urged that it would shorten the dis
tance to Sulphur Springs from Il
to about five and a half miles. AL
so that'it would give a roadway
to farmers who do not have that
right except by use of numberless
gates through private lands. One
man interested, has to open II
gates in order to get to Corvallis
with a load. The region the new
road would tap is great wood
country, and on this account the
peopse of Corvallis were claimed to
be deeply interested because of
hundreds and even thousands of
cords of wood that would not other
wise get to Corvallis would be
brought here as a result of the
roads construction.
Incidental to the plan is the ap-
praisement of damages by the road
board. A number of farmers along
the way donated the necessary
land through their farms, while
others required damages. The
latter aggregates $500 The court
was asked to pay this, but at last
accounts the matter was under con-
sideration.
