Maaic of the Modern FIourinc Mill.

Today the river of wheat is deepest
at Minneapolis. Its twenty-five great
mills roll 120O0O,OOO bushels into flour
as an ordinary years work. While the
swiftest mill in Athens in the age of
Pericles produced no more than two
barrels day, there is one mill of in
credible size in Minneapolis that fills
1I,OOO barrels in q twenty-fOur hour
run-enough to give bread to New
York state and California. What the
Greeks did in day the Minnesotans
do in ten seconds. Five million bar
rels of this Minneapolis flour. says
Herbert \. CasSon in the World To-
day are each year scattered among
foreign nations, fact which informs
us that flour is now not local prod
uct, but part of the real currency of
nations. No doubt the people who
dwell by the sea of Galilec, whose
fathers We're once miraculously fed
upon seven loaves of bread and a few
fishes. are now being fed miraculously
upon loaves of bread made from the
flour of Minneapolis.

Upheld Her Opinion,

Judge Kelly of the district court of
Ramsey county. Minn., recently cole
brated his golden wedding anniversary
and on the evening preceding he was
rendered banquet by the Ramsey
County Bar association, which was
also attended by the other members of
the district bench. the justices of the
supreme court. Governor johnson and
higher state officials. In responding
to the toastmaster's Fluctuations he
stated that only once in his married
life had his wife questioned one Of his
decisions and that was his recent de-
cision in the "club' case in which he
held that social clubs might sell liquors
to their members without a license.
The judge related that on arriving
home he found his wife reading the
evening paper. She looked up and
said, william, you are wrong about
that club case" "Now perhaps that
may be So" said the Judge "Why do
you think SOP" "Becausew said Mrs.
Kelly. "And," added the judge, ION
reading the opinion of the supreme
court reversing me I found they up
held Mrs. Kelly's reasoning."-Ex-

There is legendary story that sas-

kind, but whether a sassafras or some
thing else we are not prepared to say.

The Ineonvenient kimono.

Never woman that did not love the
loose comfort Of the japanese kimono,
with its shapeless lines and loose
sleeves, yet never woman that has
not found this same kimono the most
inconvenient of all possible wrappers
when it comes to making beds, wash
ing dishes, busting and sweeping gen
orally. The sleeves catch in every
thing, the figure looks hideous If an
apron is tied about the waist, and the
woman looks slatternly even If she be
the exact opposite.
Both the short kimono and the long,
then. should be discarded as without
the necessary qualifications of the
"housework," not house, gown. After
work is all DONE when woman is for
tunate enough to have a spare hour for
absolute rest, the kimono is invaluable.

suggests the moss and lichen Of the
woodlands. 1t is neither gray nor
green nor brown, but a little of all
these blended together.
Dead rose shades are. of course, no
new thing, and the wistaria and grape
tints have been seen before, though
not perhaps in such numbers. The
blues are not quite success. They
are either too cold or too clear or too
inclined to hyacinth and lilac tones.
There is new gray which is being
used with success. 1t is curious

WHY NOT NEW ORLEANS?

The Louisiana Railway & Navi-
cation Co., announces low sum-
mer round trip rates into New
Orleans, graded in price from
$500 from Shreveport to $3.50
from Naples. This is turning
the tables on the other roads,
that announce low rates out of
New Orleans, which, however
grateful to the pleasure.seeker,
do not tend to the benefit of
Louisiana and her chief city. A
road, encouraging travel to the
Southern metropolis, is a helper
to that city's progress.
And why not New Orleans?
Even in summer, it is delightful;
not so hot as St. Louis, not SO
provocative of sunstroke as New
York or Chicago. New Orleans
forever! 1t is all a notion about
going north to sleep under
blankets. Who wants to sleeE
under the fuzzy, heating thingsj
No cover is the ideal, although
even in Louisiana, light cover
is the rule where one sleeps will
plenty of fresh air around.
Why New Orleans people, who
own comfortable homes, want K
go away for the summer, excep
for a change of scene, has always
seemed foolish, as the comforts
there are equal to those any
where else, while in the palaces
in st. Charles Avenue, the com
forts far surpass other places
or so it would seem to an on

CONCERNING PELLAGRA.

CONCERNING PELLAGRA.
Since all the late talk about the
disease pellagra, the writer has
consulted the Century Dictlon'
airy to confirm her pronunciation
of the word and for the 0enent
of those who may be puzzled IN
that respect. The Century says
it should be pronounced pe'la'
gra, with accent on second syila,
BILE. which has the sound OF lay
final a broad. Further interest
ing data are given as follows;
"An endemic disease OF southern
Europe. characterized by cry
thema, digestive arrangement
and nervous affections. 1t ex'
hibits vernal occurrences, or eX-
acerbations, and is frequently
fatal after few years. In the
maize porridge which is called
polenta, and which is the chief
food of a certain class of Italian
working-men, there is formed by
putrefaction, during the hot
months, a poison which causes
pellagra. Chambers Encyclope-
dia says that "the extent of the
ravages of this affection may be
estimated from the fact that OF
500 patients in the Milan Lunatlc
IAsylum in 1927, one third were
pellagrins. The Encyclopedia
Britannica says that "A large
number of pellagrOus patients
end their days in lunatic asylums
in a state of driveling wretched
ness or raving madness"
From all of which it may be
learned that pellagra is caused by
eating spoiled or sour cOrnbread
or bread that has been made
from bad meal. Its simultane
Gus appearance in several local.
ties of the South would seem II
indicate no cOntagiOn in the dis
} ease, but a carelesSness in tin
J use of the meal due to hare
times, or to use OF spoiled corr
at the mills.
At first thought, it would seen
} that the appearance of the dis
2 ease just at this time when in

begun, would work against tn
I production of this crop. On tn
