Germany studying Bread.

In the production and control OF
pure food supply by thoroughly scien-
tific methods the Germans are dis
posed to keep their lead. The new
Government method institute for
milling research, experimenting the
two Institutes for research in the
sugar and fermentation industries,
is equipped with an experimental
granary, wheat and rye mill and a
bakery, together with administrative
offices and laboratories, the machin-
cry and apparatus being of the most
advanced kind, all driven by cleo
tricity. The mill has two distinct
plants, each milling two tons of grain
in ten hours. The purpose OF the In
stitute is to carry out practical re-
search and scientific investigation on
grain during storing, milling, work
ing up and baking; to experiment
with the baking of home and import
ed grain; to conduct research work
for the Government, and to carry
out official and private analyses of
grain, -four, fodder stuffs, etc. Every
effort will be made to investigate
thoroughly the numerous problems Of
milling and baking.-St. Louis Post

sides, powerful feet in the Pacific,
which is soon to be vastly augmented
by the cruise of the Atlantic feet to
the Pacific.
To render the American fleet more
mobile and to improve it's gunnery
the Secretary says are the chief con-
siderations prompting the Pacific
cruise. which, it is now for the first
time officially admitted, was 'long
under consideration" before the fleet
rendezvoused at the jamestown Ex-
position.
Mobility and expert gunnery, -
says Secretary Metcalf, "are the es-
sential qualifications of an efficient
naval force"
The fighting strength of the navy
now consists of twenty-five battle
ships. ten armored cruisers, forty-one
cruisers, sixteen destroyers, thirty
two torpedo boats, twelve submar-
ines and eleven coast defense vessels.
Seven battleships, five cruisers, five
destroyers and seven submarines are
now building or are to be built.
Younger men are being put in charge
of the battleships Two complete
fleets have been organized, and two
vice-admirals are needed. The Sec
rotary recommends that Congress
authorize four new battleships like
the Delaware, four scout cruisers and
other fighting and defense vessels, to
cost. in all, over $50, 900, 900.

Police on Him.

Cincinnati.-The story of an an.
named woman's charity to crippled
beggar came out in the police court
when Frank Hellenbush, homeless
and held as a vagrant, hobbled to the
bar. Over his tattered clothes hung
an expensive overcoat. This coat had
proved his undoing. Where did you
get the coat?" asked Prosecutor OPP
penheimer.
Hellenbush declared that, he
begged of a woman in the street,
and that she told him to call at the
Office of her husband, and there he
was given an order for the costly
coat.
He named the store, and Detective
McQuesten was sent to investigate.
The clothier refused to give the wo.
mans name, but said she had
brought the beggar in and ordered
the coat for him, and the dealer said
he gave Hellenbush his own coat
Hellenbush was dismissed, his story
sustained.

made public Senator Joseph Benson
Foraker, of Ohio. announces in effect
that he is candidate for the Repub-

reference to the selection of its stand
ard bearer for next years campaign.
Its most serious bearing will be upon
the chances of William H. Taft, who
has been accepted by many Republic
