Dr.. Wiley, pure food expert and
crank, has been investig ating the soda
water fountains, and declares that out
of more than one hundred samples of
soft drinks collected by him, all con-
tanned caffeine, and many of them a
deadly drug. In an address before
the girl students of a Washington
academy, he warned his hearers to
abstain from soda water. Granting
that the worthy warrior in the cam
paign for pure food is right as to the
soft drink proposition, the drink
problem. becomes intensely compli-
Gated. In cities it is no longer safe
to drink milk that is not accompanied
by an affidavit. Health boards find it
necessary to label the water supply
with formula Of contents as required
on patent medicines, to let the thirsty
know what they are taking into their
systems. And now the innocent con-
fections of the liquid sort which have
bee2 the solace of those resisting
alcoholic beverages may not be inno-
cent at all. Everything is impure,
here lately, according to the experts
and cranks. Meanwhile, people are
living longer than ever before.

COUNTRY MlLLERS MAKE PROTEST
AlleSe that Legislative Investi@a'
ton Regarding Velvet Chaff
Wheat was not a Fair One.

Millers operating in the country are
making a strong protest, says the
Minneapolis Journal, against the
statement presented by Chairman
Holmberg of the committee appointed
by the lower house of the Legislature
to investigate the alleged discrimina-
ton against velvet chaff wheat. Ac-
cording to the Holmberg statement,
the blue stem wheat used for compare
tive purposes weighed only ffty-four
pounds to the bushel, and must have
graded about No. 3, while the velvet
chaff used was unusually clean and
plump, and was not, the millers say,
fair average of that wheat.

NEW PROCESS FOR MAKING PAPER

versity Claims to Have Dis.
covered One.

A chemical discovery, which is ex-
pected to make wood pulp and paper
products many times more plentiful
and much cheaper than they are at
present, was announced Friday at the
state university. The discoverer is
DR.. George B. Frankforter, dean OF
the college of chemistry, who has
worked on the process for more than
twelve years.
The discovery makes possible the
manufacture of paper from fir trees,
sawdust and waste timber. The pulp
for paper at present is made only
from spruce. The supply of fir is one
hundred times greater than the supply
of spruce, and DR.. Frankforter and
those associated with him say the new

IN SNOWDRIFT FIFTY.0NE DAYS
Domestic Duck Lost in Blizzard
Survives Long Fast.

The Comfrey Times, a paper whose
veracity is seldom questioned, is au-
thority for the statement that after the
blizzard of January 18th, John Hard
ing, a farmer living not far from Com
frey village; missed two ducks from
his barnyard.
Presenting that they had persisted in
the storm Harding dismissed the mat
ter from his mind and thought no more
of it until a week ago Sunday. AS a
team and carriage were leaving the
barry ard on that day, one wheel broke
through a snow drift, dropping into
hole.
The rig went on, but member of
the family investigated the hole in the
drift and found therein a live duck,
one of the two that disappeared on the
night of January 2Sth. It had been
entombed exactly ifty-one days, but
after satisfying its sharpened appetite
was apparently none the worse for it's
long fast.

Very fa- vorable crop accounts from the south- west were received late in the day and were probably a factor in the decline While the lOcdl traQe was conVlnCeQ that the wet weather in the central belt had not been sufficiently severe or prolonged to have caused damage, which could not have been repaired under present favor able conditions.
