Washington, April 23.--'If at any

of friends. What about cottonseed

There is but slight difference in the
taste, while the color of bread baked
is something on the order of rye or
graham. 1t is wholesome and sweet.
l received some from Ennis. Texas, the
friends on the floor of the house and
they pronounced it good. l did not
tell them what it was until after they
had eaten it, and then they had good
laugh.
In my Judgment. the time is here
when cottonseed flour will prove a ri
val to wheat flour. The difference il
price will give it a boost, and will aif
in reducing the cost of living. 7:
give you an idea of what cottonseet
is worth to Texas, last year it brought
the state an income of $50, 100000. Il
hasn't been SO many years ago tina
farmers threw cottonseed away or fee
it to the cattle, but now they realize
that it is increasing in value all tn,
time. The process of converting it in
to flour is something new. The inGi
cations are that in a year or two cot
ton seed flour will be staple as much
so as wheat"

Just because the rules state that the

Drinking Fountains.

From the Cleveland Plain Dealer.
It's good for the public to have plen-
" OF water to drink. And yet in spite
Of the spreading of the fresh water
gospel, 1t has been hard for the gener-
al public to get 1t. down town. There
has been notable lack of drinking
places. The director of public service
proposes to supply the lack with a
system Of continuous spray fountains
on all the main thoroughfares leading
from the public square. There may be
as many AS 100 such fountains in all.
This Is an excellent plan and cannot
be put into operation too soon. There
will then be plenty OF opportunities
for the busy men and women to
quench their thirst. The fountain will
be sanitary and the water. though
possibly not iced. will nevertheless be
cool enough to be palatable. for it will
flow continually from the big mains.

The Xernai Muse.


The merry spring approaches
To wake the gentle song
They're mostly in concealment
Down yonder in the mud.
But where are all the blossoms
That should begin to bud?
Which annually rises
To cheer the general throng.
The satirist disdainful
Oft mocks the vernal muse,
Because her dancing measures
Seem clogged by overshoes.
The pathway she is treading
Becomes an oozy flood
Her rhythms hold most lamely-
Her feet are in the mud.

Dust and Disease.
e Newark News.

From the Newark News.
The dust nuisance In Newark yes
terday was terrific. Clouds OF dirt
from the Uttered streets were hurled
through the air and carried into
stores. factories and homes. Some re-
lief could have been secured had the
streets been sprinkled or flushed, but
nothing of the sort was done. The
health authorities who are SO interest
cd in the suppression of tuberculosis
ought to be interested In this neglect
to suppress dust, one Of the breeders
Of 1t. With the arrival of spring, how
ever, there seems to be a letting up In
the fight against the great white
plague. The anti-spitting ordinance
has apparently been forgotten. The
good start of short time ago. when
n number OF arrests were made. and
the announcement heralded that the
regulation must be strictly complied
with, has not improved the conditions
very noticeably. Newark is not the
only place where anti-spitting ordin-
ances have become dead letters. Sta
tistics prepared by the National Asso-
citation for the Study and Prevention
OF tuberculosis show that anti-spit-
ting ordinances and regulations in
more than five-eighths Of the cities
and towns of the country are not en-
forced az they should be.
Summer Music for the People.
From the Chicago Record-Herald.
The philanthropy department OF the
Chicago Woman's club Is planning
series Of Sunday afternoon concerts at
the Art Institute for the benefit of
those who cannot pay the prices
charged during the season by the high
claSs orchestras. 1t is proposed to fix
the admission fee at 10 cents and to
provide the best kinds Of good music.
well interpreted. OF the melodious and
stimulating order.
The idea Is in every way commend
able, although it Is fair to recognize
that the quality OF Chicago's summer
music at the various private parks
and gardens has improved remarkably
in the last few years. There cannot
be too much song and bright, cheer
ful, refreshing music in modern
city.
