OTTOMANS CEASE
 ID RULE IN AFRICA

Rome, october 25.-(By Way or Frontier )-Once masters of the coas. of Tripoli and Cyrene and also in con frol of the caravan routes to the m terIor of the country the Italian gov ernment will consider the Turkish gar risons as rebels and will officially mo- tifv the powers of the cessation of Ot- toman rule in northern Africa.
 Italy also will announce as her pos session the territory bordering on the Mediterranean extending east to the Egyptian frontier, and west to Tunis and running south down to the Brit ish and French zones of influence.
 The report that Turkish soldiers had crossed the a Tunis frontier, as tele- graphed by Deputy De Felice Giusfrida at Tripoli, is officially denied. It is also pointed out that such thing would have been quite impossible as it is more than a two weeks march from the Jebel hills to which the Turk ish garrison retreated to the nearest point in Tunis.
 The French authorities have doubled the watch on the frontier to prevent the passage of arms, ammunition and provisions.

BIRMINGHAM DOES
 NOT LIKE BREAD
Flour Broker States That Consump- tion of Flour Was Much Below
 Average Last Year

"I don't know what Birmingham ate as a substitute for bread last summer, but reports from flour mills supplying this city are to the effect that this past season was extremely quiet" said oscar E. CoWden, flour broker of Morris ave nue. yesterday. We usually allow about one barrel of flour a year to each per- son. which gives the average consump- tion of five bushels of wheat to every Birmingham citizen. Birmingham has no special flour season, but slight increase in buying is noticed in the fall. when the farmers come in 10 purchase their winter food and grain stuffs.
 Illinois mills most of the flour used in the south and the three grades of wheat, the soft winter, the hard winter and hard spring wheat, are the varie ties ground in that state. The soft win ter wheat makes the flour for the old fashioned southern biscuits. pastries and cakes that take all the premiums at the county fairs.
 'The housewife can test the best flour by it's superior white color. soft. velvety and mellow feeling when taken in the hands. There is no adulterated flour nowadays, as pr. Wiley's pure food laws have remedied certain habits of mixing pulverized chalk rock in the flour, for merly practiced by dishonest millers.'

 "I had plenty of motives for divorce, but none for murder" he said. He de- clared that both a solution of bromide and the cyanide solution were in the house, but that the latter was plainly labeled 'tPoison-Cyanide Solution" The charge that he had changed the labels he, branded as ''rankest nonsense"

Good win company are continued by the Shef- tels."
