ROMANS ADULTERATED WINE.
Tricks of Trade Not Peculiar to the
Present Generation.
From the Spatula.

From the Spatula.
The Greeks and Romans had their trou-
bles no less than we of today. Pliny tells
us that the bakers of Rome Used to mix
with their dough a white earth that was
soft to the touch and sweet to the taste.
and so made bread that had weight and
good appearance, but no food value.
He also speaks Of wine adulteration. and
says that even the rich could not be sure
that their beverages were pure. The IA
nous wines of Falerno were adulterated in
the cellars. and wines from Gaul were ar
tificially colored by aloes and other drugs.
In Athens wine adulteration was so COM
mon that special inspectors were appointed
to detect and stop the practice.
One Canthare. wine merchant, made his
mark on the page of history because of his
skill in giving the fiavors OF old age and
maturity to new wines. and In his :.me the
phrase artificial as Canthare'' was the
common expression for clever deceit
Throughout Europe. from the eleventh CEN
tury onward. food adulteration was very
generally practiced by bakers, brewers.
SpicemongerS and winners.
So we see that the wine dealer who mikes
alcohol, water color, sugars and fiavoring
fornia wine Is doing no new thing: that the
modern baker who makes short-weight
loaves out of damaged grains is but walk
ing in the footsteps his craft made on the
streets of Rome 1000 years ago: that the
druggist who sells impure chemicals. the
spice grinder who mixes sawdust with his
spices. the miller who grinds cornmeal with
his flour. the brewer who makes bad beer
and the butcher who sells unwholesome
meat are not modern pests at all. Every
one of them is but putting into present day
practices the tricks that have bothered
trade and cheated the consumer for 1000
years more.

Fun Enough for All.
There was fun enough for all, as we'll as
plenty Of glory. in the strenuous water polo
contest, which was fought cut to finish
ia the briny breakers at the bathing beach
by two sturdy teams Of Shriners large.
alright rubber ball Of considerable buoy
ancy and elusiveness was thrown out on the
dancing waves and proved to be the center
of a number Of lively overheard skirmishes
and tussles between members Of the con-
tending teams. So fierce were some OF
the rushes through the breakers for the
ball that several Of the pololsts lost the
major parts of their abbreviated bathing
costumes, and were compelled to keep be-
meath the waves until they could swim
ashore and make their escape from the
public gaze beneath the boardwalk pier.
This pier was crowded with men. women
and children, who eagerly watched the ex-
citing and at times funny overheard play.
The members of the teams "ducked" each
other and indulged In many collar-and-
elbow and catch-as- -catch-can bouts In the
breakers In their efforts to get the bouncing
ball and put 1t over the goal Their ef-
forts were rewarded with shouts of ap-
proval from the pier. which answered the
purposes Of grand stand.
The players were E. w. Zeh. w. W..
Georgas, Sergt. Carl A. Carlson. Robert
Harper. w. l: Henderson, Dr. C. Stewart

thews Victory was awarded to the team
captained by Mr.. Henderson.
Tired, But Happy.
Before midnight all the Shriners and their
friends were back In the city. very tired,
but happy and contented, both on account
of the enjoyable day passed on the arm
of the ocean and Of the consciousness of
having contributed to the happiness of
some of the deserving poor of Washington

RIVER EATING A KANSAS TOWN.
People Of Elwood Hurrying With
Their Houses Away From the Missouri
From the Kansas City Star

From the Kansas City Star.
Elwood. Kan. opposite st. Joseph. a
town Of about 1000 inhabitants. is in dan
ger Of being destroyed. The homes OF near

back from the waters edge and many acres
of ground have been swept awa-

In Elwood were upon improvised rollers.
headed toward the railroad right OF way
on the opposite side OF town. Most Of the
families left their property in their houses
and continue to live In them as they are
rolled along. However. some were given
such q lively chase by the encroaching cur
rent that their belongings were taken to
places of safety while they are laboring to
save their buildings.
The work Of rescue does not stop at night
or for rain. Some residents have worked
without sleep since Saturday night: Orch
ards. gardens trees, fences and outhcuses
have tumbled into the stream. but there
has been no loss Of life.
A strip Of land more than one mile long
washed away from the MOI. side Of the
village. The land is not carried away by
high water. but is caving In as result OF
the subsistence of the stream, Following a
flood period The indications are that much
more damage will be done. The cutting
began two miles northwest of the railroad
bridge. near the termination Of the old gov
ernment riprap work, and the destruction
extends to point about 800 feet due north
of the bridge. The river has not changed
it's course. 1t flows in its customary chan
mel.
All along the Kansas shore the river Is
dotted with great trees which have been
uprooted and fallen into the streauf The
earth soughs off in chunks. sometimes half
the size of a town lot. A second later II Is

From st. Nicholas.
There is a queer little rock animal found
in thousands in all parts Of Cape Colony.
South Africa, and called by the Dutch
"daasje'' pronounced in English "dassie')
This little creature has many other names
such as the coney, daman. rock badger
and rock rabbit. 1t is found also in Syria.
and Is really the "coney" of the Bible for
one of the Psalms contains this verse: THE
high hills are refuge for the wild goats
and the rocks for the conies" while in the
Book of Proverbs We read: THE comics are
but feeble folk. yet they make their
houses in the rocks"
The south African daasje Is pretty gray
furry creature. merry and sun-loving. and
when taken young makes a charming pet.
Two daasjes were brought one morning to
our country cottage by an old Kaffir wom-
They were about two days old; tiny
terrified morsels no longer than my finger
but they very soon lost their fear, devel-

THE BEST THINGS TO EAT.
Controversy in Virginia Brings ou,
Opinions Of Experiences.

from the Norfolk (vaJ Landmark.
Quite vigorous discussion is under way
In the Charlotte and Greensboro sections
of North Carolina over the ten best things
to eat"
J. E. Wolfe of Greensboro rushes into the
ring with the following suggestions:
The only way to settle the contest Is by
a primary. After all the lists are in let It
be settled by vote Of male voters ranging
from fifteen years up to ninety years. good
appetite being the only qualification re-
Quired of the voter.
I give the list in the order they belong in
my opinion:
1. Roasting ears. roasted In shuck in hot
ashes.
2. Broiled Smithfield ham.
3. Smothered quail with gravy.
4. Stewed young chicken with gravy.
5. Stewed oysters seasoned to suit taste.
q. Mountain trout roasted in the ashes in
a shuck.
Z. Country sausage like our mothers used
to make.
s. Roasting ear pudding
.. Buckwheat cakes with good butter and
Barbados molasses, washed down with
Mocha coffee
TO- Bermuda onions boiled like poached
eggs and seasoned to suit taste.
When Mr.. Wolfe puts down oysters as
only one of the ten best things to eat he
shows woeful ignorance. Oysters are en-
titled to at least three numbers on the
list. Soft crabs come next; spot and hog
fish are to be added and lobster will never
be forgotten by intelligent eaters.
This leaves only three places of the ten
untitled. Smothered quail with gravy
sounds all right. We like 1t and admit
1t to be the company of the elect. Chicken
of the proper temper and fineness also has
a right on the table of an epicure. but what
does Mr. Wolfe mean by stewing 1t instead
Of having 1t fried? Smithfeld ham is deli
cious, genuine country sausage is hard to
beat and buckwheat cakes as dressed by
Mr.. Woife-um-m-m-m! Away with the
onions and bring a dish of mountain
trout. Canvas back duck properly prepared
is a dish for the gods. and roasted Princess
Anne turkey is better than anything previ-
ously named. except oysters and soft crabs.
