CAPITOL too Ill.

St. Paul.-The capitol commission
invited the state dairy and food depart
ment and the state board of health to
move from their present quarters on
the ground floor of the new capitol to
rooms in the old statehouse. The COM
mission does not insist that both make
the change, but is anxious that one
should. This is because OF insistance

room for his documentary department.

WESTERN CANADA'S
MARVELLOUS RETURNS.

The increase in the crop returns of
the Canadian West, in the past seven
years, has approached the marvellous,
and there is no reason to believe that
a corresponding increase will not re-
suit for many years to come. The in
crease has been particularly noticeable
in what was formerly known as the
Northwest Territories, but which, on
September l, 1905, became the PROV
inces of Alberta and Saskatchewan.
From the official returns we find the
following results in the acreage sown
to wheat, oats and barley in the years
mentioned, and a more favorable show
ing cannot be pointed to in any other
country during a like noriod

Gen. Joseph Wheeler, who died in
Brooklyn the other day, was in CON-
mand in 200 battles during the civil
war and under fire in 800 shirmishes.
His generalship under the most trying
circumstances challenged even the
admiration Of Gen. Grant. In the war
with Spain with 964 dismounted caval-
rymen, he routed 1000 Spaniards in
the skirmish in Guisimas. Gen.
Wheeler was a writer of merit. "The
Santiago Campaign" which he pub
lished in 1898, is a graphic description
of the war with Cuba. He was 4 close
student of military affairs.

1t has long been known that the
fermentation Of bread caused the
formation Of alcohol, but it was sup
posed that it passed from the dough
during the process of baking. Several
scientists have now come forward and
proved that bread, when ready for
eating, contains an average of 800
per cent. Of alcohol to the loaf. In
many countries strong liquors are
brewed from bread. Kvass, the mild
Russian beer, is brewed from brown
bread.

every year except 1900, when there ap-
pears to have been a slump all along
the line. This, however, was more
than compensated for in the following
year, when the bumper crop in wheat,

previous years completely in the shade
and gave an impetus to settlement in
the west which has prevailed to the
