TESTING Flour.

There are several methods OF testing

known to every purchaser of house
hold provisions.
If -four is white with a yellowish
straw-color tint it is good. while II 1t
has Blush coat, or black specks in
it, 1t Is the opposite.
Flour can also be tested by its ad-
hesiveness-wet and knead a little Of
1t between the fingers: II it works
soft and sticky 1t is poor.
II little -four is thrown against a
dry, smooth surface and it falls like

II -four squeezed in the hand retains
the shape given 1t, when the hand is

at Nuremberg and afterward studied
mathematics and science at Munich.
Then he lived number of years at
Nuremberg, occupying himself as an
author. About the year 1900 he be-
came vegetarian. From childhood
up he had been weakly of constitution.
and ever since 1894 he had busted
himself with medicine and physicians
In hopes of gaining strength. He
tried all corts of dietaries and after
vegetarianism took to a pure fruit
regimen, and then milk and cream.
Cocoanut Declared the
Proper Food for Mankind.
Just as mothers milk is the one
proper and natural food of the suck
ling babe so the cocoanut Is the one
natural and proper food for the man.
The cocoanut palm is his mother, 1t
is his kitchen and his cellar In Its
fruits 1t bestows upon him nutri-
ment whereby alone the greatest and
highest of his bodily and spiritual
powers may be awakened" Mr..
Engelhardt made experiments with the
other fruits and nuts, but from none
received the satisfactory results which
inspired his foundation Of the cocoa
nut colony.
1t was in November, 1901, that the
founder of the Order of the Sun left
Germany in search of tropical resi-
dence, thinking 1t might be Ceylon,
and it was in 1902 that he landed
upon the happy isle of Kabakon. a
year later, on the Sd of March, 1903,
he proclaimed Kabakon an open fruit
garden and sungrove. ! will settle
it with fruit eaters
While comparatively few persons,
in MIR. Engelhardt's judgment, now
may be prepared for such a life as
the localities of Kabakon offer, as
these become better and better known
everywhere his ideas will be popular
lied and more and more will desire
to put them into practical execution

Colonlsts Work Only When
They Are SO Inclined.
1.-THE climate is not changeable. A
large, well selected library is at
our disposal We always are naked,
therefore the heat does not affect
us. Besides, uncooked foods do not
produce thirst, especially when one
has the opportunity of sea bathing
at any time. Mr.. Engelhardt is most
tolerant toward those who hold differ
ent opinions. Physical work Is not
compulsory. We work when we feel
inclined The rest of the time we
superintend the operations Of the ma
tives and do mental work. Our lives
are characterized by the absence OF
the hurry and worry Of civilization.
Our colony is conducted on commun-
istic lines; each colonist becomes part
proprietor"
The conditions for admission to the
sun order are, first recommendations
of two respectable, credible" persons
who are to be appreciated by the
leader of the sun ORDER" secondly, y
payment of about $3.50 for such as
are able to pay, "for less wealthy
people, corresponding to their prop
erty, for poor fruit eaters nothing.
In the first line the sun order wants
men of noble, excellent character
thirdly, the disposition of about $3.50
with the imperial government at Her
bertshoehe in case of their quitting
the colony of having need Of the
money in emergency; fourth, every
colonist must be fruitarian, that is,
he must live on nuts and fruit; fifth,
a biographical sketch and photograph
are required.
Hope Is to Bring Forth
Perfect Race of Men.
"All fruit eaters" observes Mr..
Engelhardt can live permanent
naked life like myself, join nature in
every respect. Magnificent sea and
sand baths complete the continual sun
and air baths in the best manner"
1t has been thought by some Of the
uninitiated public that marriage is
forbidden at Kabakon; but, on the
contrary, family life is encouraged,
and it is the hope of the colony to
furnish a nucleus to the world of
sane, honorable, healthy and pure
