BIG FOOD PLANT
is OPERATED
BY cinnamon
France Has One of Most
Novel Factories of Kind
In the World.

PARIS. (Special)-Out at Les VAL
lees, near here, there is a large fac.
tory backed by a running capital of
100000, the output of which is food
in tabloids. The oddity lies in the
fact that it belongs to Cinnamon ex-
clusively, was built by Cinnamon
and is operated by Cinnamon. 1t is
perhaps the most model factory in
France.
Ii Yu Ying, aged 80, is the presi-
dent and organizer of the business.
He is the originator of the food-tab-
lets which are made. also. He is an
expert chemist, an engineer, scientific
agriculturist and former student of
the Pasteur Institute at Paris.
The son of former minister CT
State in Pekin, Ii came to Paris In
1901 to study scientific farming at
Chesney, near Montargis. Later he
entered the Pasteur Institute.
There he studied alimentary prob
lens from the viewpoint of vege-
tartan. He thus developed and per-
fected several formulas for concen-
trated foods and the idea of estab-
fishing a factory to make these arti-
cles followed as matter of course.
The only thing he wishes to be
French about the business was the
ground to build on.
Returning to China in 1909 he
at once launched his company with
100000 capital. Most of this
amount was subscribed by friends of
his and his fathers, men in govern
ment circles. The company was in
corporated under the laws OF China
and headquarters were opened in
Tientsin.
Ii Yu Wing now hurried back to
France and established his factory at
Les Vallees.
The buildings cover a large space
and are models of their kind. The
machinery inside them was made in
China and was assembled at Les Val
lees by Chinese mechanics, twenty of
whom came from the East for that
purpose.
Lastly Ii Yu Ying sent for a corps
of Chinese laborers, and now the tac-
tory is buzzing away full tilt, under
their guidance.
The statesmen now on the road

cheese, oil, lard, butter, eggs, flour,

teaching old Europe thing or two.
The almond-eyed invaders make no
concessions to the prejudices of the
Continentals, who are inclined to dis
like anything from outside their OWL
country.
They demonstrate the article and
proudly proclaim the fact that every
ingredient in these food tablets come
from home" They're said to be
making a big success of it, what's
more to the point.

professional response.
'Only a second, Doctor! Only g

perturbed one.

physician, with increasing Impotence
Whereupon, with a sigh, the man
took a seat in the general reception
hall. His excitement soon subsidized
for he read the morning paper
through a number of magazines, an6
played awhile with the Doctors cat
Then, after a period of half an hour
the Doctor reappeared, and, in an all

erstwhile excited person:

the CoIored Vote.
1t is related of certain candidate
for a state Office in the last Kansas
campaign that he billed himself for
certain October day, and wrote ahead
to a number of friends there to give

One of them told him to see a GER

of this negro" wrote the friend. you
can get the vote of the whole negro
population in this town. Don't fail to
see him and get him to your way Of
thinking"
About the first thing the candidate
did after registering at the hotel was
to look up this neg"o. 1t was only
little while after the Introduction
that he was calling the negro by his
given name, filling his pockets with
cigars, passing him compliments and
generally giving him taffy. The ne
gro took it all and enjoyed the occa-
sion immensely. The candidate spent
several hours in the negro's company.
and after he thought the proper de-
gree Of warmth had been obtained,
preached the real object of his friend
ship: "Say, John, want the negro
vote of this town."
Cali right" replied John. "Pll vote

the candidate. "See here, I'll be

are big man among the colored folks
down here, and that If get your vote.
I'll get the whole negro vote in this
place. Do you catch on?"

Fourth of July and mama was resting

The unusual excitement of the day

piercing shrek came to mama's ears,
followed by gust of laughter from
her little son. When this was re-
peated several times, mama rose
YEARLY to investigate, and, stepping
to the door, she saw Madelaine, face
down on the bed. Then Douglas eau
tiously approached Madelaine, and
leaning toward her touched her with
his forefinger. The shrek that fol-
lowed with the flourish of arms and
legs made him double up and roll over
on the floor in a perfect gale of mer-
riment.
"Why, Douglas!" mama exclaimed,

In Rome.

The ingredients of Roman holt
day look pretty coarse to use. Their
sports, for instance. If Commodus
and Nero and other leaders of thought
in those days had been really up to
the psychology of thrills, they would
have formed their lions and their
gladiators into elevens, and thus set
them against each other to some pur-
pose. Likewise their feasts. How
could these be better than relatively
plain, with the medical practitioners so
meagerly instructed in the art of saw
ing people from the consequences of
sensual indulgence?
