INDIAN CORN MEAL.


Rochester IN. " Herald.
A generation ago, necessity com
PEELED very large part of the rugged
population of this country to subsist
on corn meal. White flour was a lux
ury and reserved for state occasions
and cake. The taste for corn bread
has to be acquired in these times, but
in the pioneer days, dislike of it was
confined to the young already begin
ming to be influenced by the approach
of higher standard of living, of which
cake is one of the inevitable harbin-
gers. This new generation seemed to
think that the use of corn meal rather
than flour was conclusive evidence
of poveray, and many discarded it
who liked it much better than bread
made from wheat
With the universal use of wheat
flour, corn meal having fallen into de-
suetude, has come improved methods
of rendering it attractive to the sight.
The bleaching process, lately forbid
den by the government, was probably
the last discovery which proved detri-
mental to the public health, but pleas
ing to the eye. Before that, we had
had nothing more harmful than train
loads of terra alba, shipped from the
mills in Tennessee, Georgia and other
Southern States, for no other reason
than that terra alba costs but twenty
five per cent as much as flour, and
brings flour prices when properly con-
cealed.
The result of his craze for adulter-
ating or repairing food prouucss,
upon which the country entered a
score of years ago is that nine-tenths
of the population is, in one way or
another, inflicted with stomach troL
BILE. Not little of this trouble can
be properly laid to the flour itself,
though a great deal of this is due to
the manner in which bread is made.
But in the days in which the work
ingman subsisted chiefly on corn
classed as a rare disease. Append
citis had not then been invented Dur
ing the civil war decade, there yet sur
vived women who could take a cupful
of corn meal, bit of water pinch
of salt and portable over, and at the
psychological moment turn out a circle
of hot corn pone over which the i'm
mortals of those days apologized for
it, for corn pone was the hallmark OF
poverty. Those who had stoves made
johnnycake, and then what was left
over from the mush was fried. There
are nfn living today who would walk
from Lincoln Park to Brighton for
a mess of fried mush.
Some years ago this government
made the attempt to create a taste
on the continent of Europe for corn
cess a fact which is to be regretted,
for it would have solveu one or the
living problems in Europe. ut if we
are unable to induce Europeans to
like corn bread, there is no reason
why there should not be a revival OF
its use in the United States. 1t is
one of the most wholesome and nutri-
tious foods we have, and its cost is
about third that of wheat flour,
even at the present high price of corn.
There are many poor people in this
country today for whom, in spite of
the elevation of the standard of living.
Captain Patterns wheat corner will
have no teTrors. Corn meal agrees too
well with their purses and their
stomachs.

NEW FIGHT OVER
SCHOOL TICKETS
Chairman Knapp Says PennSy
Advertisement is
Misleading

Chairman knapp. Of the Interstate
Commerce Commission. sharply crlticises
the Pennsylvania Railroad la a letter
made public yesterday for the attitude Of
the railroad In its notice that II intends
TO discontinue the sale Of Interstate
school tickets, and declares that the
corporation seeks to discredt the efforts
Of the commission to fairly administer
the plain provision OF the law.
1t is contended by members Of the
commission that the railroad was IA
voring a certain class
Chairman Knapp declared in his letter
10 Mr.. Crea, president Of the railroad.
that a i6-trip monthly communication tick
ct issued only to pupils, without regard
to age, who are in attendance on schools
Of a certain class, and which specifically
provides for the excursion Of pupils Of
other schools is unjust discrimination.
and that it was that clause which the
Interstate Commerce Commission at
tackled
1t was contended further by the COM
mission, Chairman Knapp says, that car
riers may lawfully offer and uso a COM
mutation ticket limited in its sale and
use 20 children or young persons between
the ages Of y TO q; that such an ar
rangemont would not be a discrimination.
as it would provide the same rate for
all children OF that age whether pupils
or not. Furthermore il will protect the
company from the use Of such tickets by
adults.
In concluding his letter Mr. Knapp
says:
''The commission did not require the
withdrawal of reduced rates for school
children, and IN this or any other I'M
stance I'm which they have been with
drawn il Is the voluntary action Of the
carric- taken because It prefers 10 with
draw such reduced rate privileges rather
than remove the glarins Determinations
which have been practced IN connection
herewith"
In reply to the letter Of Chairman
Knapp a statement was issued yester.
day by Vice President Thayer. of tn,
Pennsylvania Railroad I'm which Ia,
said;
"The company did not fee. that & could
issue the l6-trlp ticket suggested by tn,
commission to all persons, whether at
tending school or not. who were between
the ages Of l2 and q because its effeci
would be TO reduce it's revenue, which
was already low, on such traffic. and be
cause il would be impossible to check tn,
age of the user In fact II has beer
shown that such n ticket would place
premium upon dishonesty Furthermore
the company felt that the sale OF suci
a ticket confined TO the ages. referred TO
would i'm itself constitute discrimina-
ton"
/ IL is stated that Notwithstanding tn,
protest Of Chairman Knapp, the Penn
sylvania Railroad viii withdraw tn,
school tickets.
