Flour and Appendicitis.

1t has been contended by many for
years that impure food was the cause
OF appepdicitis, DR.. Payne, when state
chemist some years since, examined
some popular brands OF flour in Geor-
gia, and said they contained eighteen
per cent. of insoluble matter which
no stomach could digest. Some sup
posed kaolin and other white indigest-
ible, materials were used N
But now comes DR.. Henry Battle.
Fellow of the Royal Society of Sur
geons, In lecture at st. Thomas
Hospital, London, declaring it as his
belief that the spread of appendicitis is
due - the worldwide use of the
American ,steel-rofed -four.
= According to the Athens Call, this is
the view Of DR.. Battle:
He undertakes to show that the
great increase in appendicitis first oc-
CURED In america just aftei. the intro
ductibn Of steel and iron rollers for
grinding wheat, and the disease first
occurred in towns where rolled flour
was used; that then 1t spread to viii
lagos, and lastly to negroes who ear
lier had escaped, and this spread
|corresponded with the spread in the
use OF rolled flour An investigation
in England was begun. The much
lower cost Of American -four made lit
next to, impossible for any grinding
OF -four in England DIR. Battle holcs
that iron particles are to be found. in
the center of the appandicltall concre-
tions, and says that in a typical case
'of appendicitis in which an operation
was performed he, found in the center
of the concretions an Irregular frag-
mentor iron. ~
A Nashville surgeon who has per-
formed q large number Of operations
for appendicitis expressed his opinion
Of -four from modern mills was the
cause OF. many cases Of appendicitis.
and that It was his purpose to prose-
cute Investigations to determine the
truth Of the cause. The opinion Of the
English surgeon is at least interesting.
There must be some hidden cause for
the frequency with which the disease
appears m these latter days.--Augus.

AZ memory carries one back to for
iner days. when In every household
the pat@r OF childish feet and the
chatter of youthful, voices made home
'cheery. sad picture In the homes Of
the, present day looms up.v There are
not SO many babies now as formerly
to brighten the home, which Is due to
the fact that fathers, and mothers
have become, more intelligent and
wiser than their Creator, according
to their way Of thinking. and openly
and stoutly defy the laws of nature as
we'll AS their marriage obligations. y
Talk about the sin and immortality
Of the young men, and women. of the
present day. but If this Trace suicide"
that is is being carried on by married
people is not SHINING against the Az
mighty there is no sin and everybody
will be saved. Pride and vanity are
the forces that drive husbands and
wives TO disregard the laws Of nature,
the laws Of God and their marital re.
