NO GOOD IN WHITE FLOUR
DIR. Wiley, Uncle Sans Pure Food
Sharp, Doesn't Want Bread With
the Wilderness of the Corpse.


WESTINGHOUSE is just to

Chemist Wiley of the department of
agriculture. You cannot find any
great amount of bleached flour go
ing into interstate commerce at all
now. | can tell the change now by
the bread. Every time | cut a loaf
of bread | rejoice, because, instead of
it having the whiteness of a corpse,
it has that beautiful delicate amber
tint that all bread ought to have.
The electricity was the agent which
produced the bleaching material.
Several cases are now pending
against millers, and l do not betray
any confidence of the millers when
say that the fight on this case is
made chiefly by the men who are
selling the machinery. The millers
themselves would not fight it for a
moment if left to them, but the men
who are making this bleaching ma
chinery have been hurt. The bakers
of the United States were laways OPP
posed to bleached flour. They knew
the -four was injured by the process.
This wheat flour case will be
fought by the best talent in this
country and the most celebrated law

COLUMBUS CTS. WAX WARM.
Met in Mass Meeting and Denounced
Present Rulers of the City.

The recent action of the majority
of the police commissioners of Co.
lumbus in reducing Detective James
Palmer to the rank of a patrolman
was condemned by the unanimous
vote of a mass meeting of 600 per-
sons at the court house.
1t was the biggest political mass
meeting held in Columbus since the
Brown-Smith gubernatorial cam
paign, the court room being filled
and there also being crowd in the
Hobbies.
1t is claimed that the action in re-
ducing Palmer is part of a movement
to have Columbus more of a wide
open town, and this explains the in
tensity of feeling aroused by the in
cident. The meeting adopted resO-
lutions asking the city council to de-
mand of Police Chairman MOncrieff
an explanation of his action. A res
olution calling upon the city attorney
and city recorder to resign was ruled
out of order

A RARE SILVER DOLLAR.
Western Man Has One Valued at
Thousands by Coin Collectors.

Safe in a strong box in the vaults
of the Silver Bow National Bank of
Butte, Mont, lies a silver dollar. 1t
is held there, and there it must re-
main for three weeks, und-r a $500
option given by George Forsythe of
Butte from c. Hermann, the caterer
and candymaker The dollar is of
the date of 1904, and though there
are other older coins of gold and
bronze which date back to the days
of Caesar this coin is one of only
four in the numismatic world today.
Up to a few years ago there were
only two of the coins known, but
about four years ago in dismantling
an old windjammer one of the dollars
was found embedded in the mast.
This made three, and the coin For
sythe has cinched is the fourth.
Hermann took in the dollar a
couple of years ago in payment for
a nickel's worth of candy, and on
account of its age and splendid con-
dition he laid it to one side. Re
Gently he showed it to Forsythe, who
offered him $500 for an option on it.
Hermann accepted
On Geographic description alone
Mr. Forsythe has been offered $3.50
and $1,000 by San Francisco and New
York numismatics, but both wanted
it forwarded for examination. The
coin is in splendid condition, known
as 'un-circulated. Forsythe has in
formation that the last 1904 silver
dollar was bought for $4,000, so he
is loath to take any hurry-up offer
Forsythe is afraid he will wake up
from his dream of a few thousand
dollars profit or that some one will
crack the safe in the bank.

MONEY IN POTATOES.
Alabama Farmer Sold One Hundred
Bushels For 500.

The Birmingham Ledger tells of
a farmer, E. c. Simpson, of Calhoun
county, Alabama, who a few days ago
sold 100 bushels of sweet potatoes
for 500 good money. The potatoes
were raised on an acre of his farm
at Ohatchee, and bring in 500 at
a very good time. The Ledger figures
that if Mr.. Simpson had planted that
land in cotton he would have re-
ceived about $50, and would have
worked harder to produce it. We
take it that land that would make
more than one hundred bushels of
potatoes would make half a bale of
cotton, which with the seed would
not bring half as much as the pota-
toes, even at Is cents for the cot
ton.
Potatoes make good feed for peo-
PIE and stock, and sell we'll when the
farmer needs money

FATHER SENDS BOY TO PRISON
Atlanta Patrolman Arrests Guilty,
Though Dear to Him.

A story of Spartan courage came
out in the superior court, in Atlanta,
in connection with pleas of guilty to
the charge of burglary by c. G. and
Leonard Reese, sons of special police
man G. 7. Reese, and Thomas Lewis.
They were each sentenced to serve
two years in the penitentiary. 1t
then became known to the court that
Policeman Reese when he found one
of his sons and Lewis were under
arrest on this charge confronted his
other son, ascertained that he was
participant, arrested him and made
him enter a plea of guilty along with
the others. Judge Roam took occa-
sion to make special comment upon
the conduct of Policeman Reese.

report OF an Illinois Grand Jury ON
Lynching of Two Negroes.

made its report day or two ago.

man met his death at the hands of
the mob That was all In effect it
was an Endorsement of the murders
by the mob. There was nothing in
the report calling for the upholding
of the majesty of the law and the

jury's report was that the mob had
done right. And this was in the
state of Abraham Lincoln, We can
not recall that a southern grand Jury
ever lauded mob of lynchers.

Allerton's New Electric Light Plant
Destroyed By Fire.

Allerton was visited by destruct-
| i've fire shortly after IL o'clock last
Monday night, when their recently
completed electric light plant was
totally destroyed by fire, with most
of the contents, causing a loss esti-
mated between $500 and $4,000,
with no insurance.
The cause of the fire is not known,
although some think it caught from
| a live wire. The blaze was first MOTTO
ed by the night marshal about fifteen
minutes after the plant had been
closed down for the night, breaking
out at a point near the roof on the
second floor. The alarm was quickly
given, but the fire spread so rapidly
that inside of half an hour nothing
but ashes and ruins of machinery re-
NAMED. The fire was hot one while
it lasted and it was with difficulty
that large livery barn just west of
the burning building was saved. Had
bucket brigade and the direction in
which the wind was blowing, it is
probably the fire would have swept
over much larger area.
| The building destroyed was built
of wood with an outside covering of
sheet tin. Everything had been put
in safe order and condition for the
night, thereby making the cause of
the fire mystery.
The greater part of the loss and
perhaps all of it will fall on the town.
The building was owned by the town,
all of the electrical machinery, which
was entirely destroyed, was paid for
while half of the cost of the big en-
glne, gas producer plant and scrub
Der, was paid when the machinery
was unloaded from the cars.
The final test of the power pro-
duc1ng portion of the plant was to
have been made Tuesday and the
same turned over to the town the
next day if found satisfactory and
the further fact that no insurance had
been placed on the building or con-
tents makes the blow a hard one for
the citizens of Allerton.
Talk of rebuilding has already
been heard, although practically
Everything depends on how the mon
ey for another plant shall be raised
practically an entirely new machinery
plant will have to be installed. 1t is
believed that the gas producer, en-
CINE. ETC., were not damaged to a
very great extent and that repairs
can be effected on them without a
very great expense. Until a repre-
sentative of the Minneapolis concern
that installed the engine and gas pro-
Queer arrives on the scene, definite
arrangements for the future will not
be made.
The fact that the plant had not
been accepted by the town may create
fine legal point that may result
in law suit, although much de-
ponds on the attitude of the company
who installed the plant-Corydon
Times-Republican.

FILTHY STOMACH.
Food Fermenting in Stomach Causes
a Rank Condition.

When you have indigestion your
food sours; many times it actually
rots and forms gases that poison
the blood.
Take MONA stomach tablets if
you want to change your bad stom-
ach into healthy, clean one.
M1-O-NA is the best prescription
for upset stomach and indigestion
ever written. No matter how miser-
able your stomach feels, MONA
stomach tablets give immediate re-
lief.
Take MONA stomach tablets,
which are guaranteed to cure indi-
gestion, and rid yourself of dizzi-
ness, biliousness, nervous or sick
headache, or money back.
Ask VanWerden & Kopp.
Take MONA tablets if you want
to make your stomach so strongi
that it will digest the heartiest meal
without distress, and furnish good,
clean, nutritious blood making ele-

Take MI-O-NA tablets, one or
two with or after each meal, if you
want to get rid of that drowsy, tired
feeling.

Missouri Counties Lose Population.

With bumper crops bursting the
bins of the farmers and general pros
perity Astounding in every quarter,
Mercer county lost 1911 in popula-
ton during the ten years from 1900
to 1910. This is shown by the census
report made public in Washington
last week. The exact cause of it, we
are unable to state, but it was prob
ably caused by the big talk of land
agents Turing our farmers to the
southwest, northwest and Canada.
While many of them have discovered
their error and are coming back to
the land of plenty, they were gone
long enough to miss the counting of
noses.
But Mercer county is not alone in
the loss. Nearly every county in the
state shows decrease in population.
and many of them a greater per cent
than Mercer. In 1900 the census
gave Mercer county population of
1906. The 1910 census shows only
1885 people residing in our bord-
ers., Many are inclined to question
the figures, believing that the census
takers, being compelled to cover the
territory in such short time, miss
ed many of the people. The figures
on towns and cities have not yet
been completed.
The report on our neighboring
counties is given out by the Wash
ingtOn officials as follows.

few dairymen in the valley feeding a
we'll balanced ration; but conditions
are such here that balanced ration is
more nearly approached than in most
sections where no special effort is given
in that direction. Two dairy papers in
this country make a practice of work
ing out balancing rations for farmers,
from different feed; and it is surprising
to note how often alfalfa is suggested.
This is true of the balanced rations
proposed by experiment station litera-
ture With alfalfa pasture or hay as
the main food the dairyman has little
difficulty in providing a balanced ration
by the use of a little barley, corn, sor-
ghum or roots.
There are but few weeks during the
heat of summer in Imperial when cows
are not more comfortable than they are
in barns in the north. During the past
year COWS in pasture continuously have
not at any time fallen off, in milk
flow to a noticeable extent on account
of inclement weather. There is, in fact.
no condition during the year which
makes for the discomfort of cows which
cannot be corrected at moderate cost.
A weed shade or trees under which
some hay is provided during the hot
months, together with good water ham
Oily arranged-this latter can be had
by putting a plank or cement paru-
ton in the adobe hole and fencing so
the COWS can reach over this partition
to the water-is all that is necessary
to provide comfortable conditions for
