NOURlSHlNG
BREAD.

The council of the Bread and Food
Reform League of England has issued
a manifesto directing attention to the
Importance of using more nourish-
ing bread than ordinary fine wheat
bread, especially as food for children.
Chemistry proves" says the council,
"that the whole OF the wheat grain
contains more nutriment than the part
usually made into fine white flour. Elk
periments made on the human diges-
ton in America confirm the state
ments of the Bread and Food Reform
League that more protein-fesh-fOrm
ing material-can be assimilated
from whole wheat meal when it is
ground to a uniform fineness than
when coarsely ground, while expert
mems in Germany show that from GOO
grammes Of finely ground wheat meal
the body assimilated nearly two and
a half times more of the mineral sub
stances which form bones and teeth.
and which nourish the brain, nerves
and tissues, than from similar
weight of fine white flour"

Lessees Cannot Remove Timber.

LeSSeeS GaEnot Remove 11mDer.
Once more the United States circuit
court of appeals has sustained Missis-
sippi's contention that the lessees of six
teenth section lands in this State have
no right to remove merchantable timber
thereon, and in this latest rendition on
the subject, the commonwealth wins a
clear-cut and more decisive victory than
ON the former occasion when the case
was up for review.
The decision rendered by the tribunal
at New Orleans is based on one of the
several branches of the suits filed by the
Forest Product Company, a nonresident
corporation, against the board of super
visors of Lawrence county, seeking to
remove all clouds from its right to re-
move timber from sixteenth section lands
on which the company holds leases.
The United States circuit court of APP
peals reversed Judge Niles on the orig
| inal suit, and the second branch of the
litigation submitted to that tribunal
meets a similar fate. The latest ruling,
| however. is of far more Importance than
the former. as it involves all of the legal
questions that were determined by the
State supreme court in favor of the com
monwealth. and these contentious are
uniformly upheld by the Federal tri-
| bunal
The decision involves more than ST.
| 100000 worth of sixteenth section tim
Der lands in Mississippi held by non
resident corporations, some of which
have been engaged in the removal of
timber and who, under this latest de-
cision, will be compelled to reimburse
the school funds in the counties where
the timber was removed to the full ex-
tent of the value of the timber.

Announcement has recently been made
that the United States Department of
Agriculture had placed a man in Mis-
sissippi who would devote his entire
time to work connected with the agri-
cultura! high schools, corn clubs and
similar movement. Prof. p. P. Garner
has been named for the work and his
headquarters will be at the A. & NJ

with Il commission and lie is now active
ly in the field. 1t is gratifying to note
this increased recognition of the sew
eral splendid movements under way in
Mississippi. The corn club work has
had enthusiastic support from the he
ginning and the result is all that could
have been wished for The high school
movement is gaining converts every day
and will soon become one of the most
popular in the state.
This is the season for fairs and

Severty-Seven Pass.

After working hard at the examina-
ton papers submitted by seventy-two APP
plicants to practice pharmacy, the Mis-
sissippi board of pharmaceutical exam
liners completed their task, finding that
out of the class of seventy-two, twenty
seven of the applicants have shown suf-
ficient knowledge, practical and theoret-
zeal, of their profession to entitle them
to receive license. Two of the appli-
cants are 'boys" of CO and 70 years,
respectively, both of whom had been
practicing pharmacy under the old laws
for years, but had inadvertently over
looked the fact that the old order had
been superseded.

problem so far as its solution is possible
of an equitable distribution of the COM

section and other funds used for the
same purpose. Instead of basing the dis
tribution upon the total number of educa-
bic children in each county, Prof. Powers
would take the average attendance III

Is equally true that many poor swim
mers are able, when accidentally pre-

Cheir presence OF mind and keep them
selves afoat till assistance reaches
them. Many more would be saved if
persons who know how to swim were
not content with that knowledge and.
as a rule, irgnorant as to their ability

sity.
