FLORIDA SOLVING THE BREAD
PROBLEM
MIR. Spawn Exhibits Dasheen, Cas-
sava and Sweet Potato Flour,
With Bread and Cookies
Baked

Baked
One of the most interesting exhib-
its ever made at the Tampa board of
trade rooms is there now. 1t consists
of cans of nour and packages of orig
inal products manufactured Dy Col. A.
F. Spawn, now located at Kissimmee,
where he has installed a plant for
taking care of the Florida products
when the prices go down and ordinar-
lily the products go to waste.
Among the manufactured products
are three f1ours, one made from the
dasheen, recently brought into promi-
hence in Florida by the federal gov
eminent in it's experiments at Brooks
vile. Another flour is made from the
sweet potato and another from the
cassava plant.
The dasheen flour is splendid
dust, containing a great percentage OF
gluten. Col Spawn has made only a
small amount of this -four, but the
yield was fifty-one pounds of -four
from 173 pounds of dasheens. One
of the exhibits is a portion of a loaf
of bread, made by a Kissimmee wo-
man, containing equal parts of dash
cen and wheat -four This is a we'll
baked loaf, well risen but with good
weight, an is deliciously favored.
Cookies made from the same mixture
of flour are also exhibited, and they
are more. delicious than the plain
wheat cookies.
The sweet potato flour is rather
dry and needs mixing with either the
dasheen or cassava flour to produce
good bread or cookie results. But
for griddle cakes, it is declared by
Col. Spawn, the sweet potato flour is
the very thing. 1t is splendid yield
er, giving about four tons of flour to
$50 bushels, the usual yield of an
acre. 1t is best to have these pota-
toes intended for flour raised on dry
ground.
cassava Great Flour Giver
The cassava is the greatest -four
yielder of all. 1t gives seventy-five to
one hundred pounds more to the ton
of raw product than even the sweet
potato, and is -four that will make
excellent buildings, cakes, pie crust
and other pastries, and is especially
adapted to mixing with the sweet po-
tato -four.
In addition to these fours, Col.
Spawn, at his Kissimmee plant, is
making dessicated cocoanut, evapor-
ated pumpkin, marmalades, jams, jel-
lies, canning tomatoes and preparing
to handle every Florida product in
some preserving manner.
1t is Col Spawn's intention to es-
tablish factories like his own at Kis-
simmee, over all of the vegetable pro-
ducing sections of Florida, so that
larger acreages can be planted and a
market assured. He is the man who
first introduced the various methods
of serving bananas as meat, bread
and drink, and tried the dasheen
years ago in the Fiji Islands. He de-
clares that Florida has no reason to
be dependent upon the west for wheat
bread when it has so many substitutes
from which flour as wholesome and
more varied in flavor can be manu-
featured at home.-Tampa Tribune.

ADVICE FROM THE ENEMY.

Having already brought about the
denomination of President Taft by the
republican party the very honorable
Ralph Williams, national committee
man from this state and wheelhorse
of assemblyism, has turned his at
tention to the matter of the demo-
cratic nomination. 1t is necessary of
course that the proper democrat also
be named and Champ Clark is the
choice of Williams.
How convenient it must be for the
democrats of oregon to have the hon
orable Ralph look out for their inter-
ests in this manner. Why do they
not rely more upon him What is
the need of Bert E. Haney if Williams
will handle the democratic situation
gratuitously? Why has Will Peter
son invited the democratic senatorial
candidates to come here to speak at
the meeting on March 20? Why not
get Ralph Williams to say who should
run under the democratic colors?
But maybe the democrats are sus-
p;cious of gifts from the Grecian
camp.

FOR \ HEALTHFUL SUMMER.

Now is the time to swat the fly
and keep down the evil smells that
fill the air during the hot summer
months when proper sanitary pre-
cautions are not taken. A thorough
clean up now and the adoption of
proper system in the handling of
garbage and debris will save labor
and expense later on.
On a tour of inspection yesterday
DIR. Temple, city physician, anG
Chief of Police Kearney urged peo-
pie to get busy AMI they made some
excellent recommendations. Among
other things they put a taboo or
open slop barrels nthe rear of rest

fly proof covers must be used. II
is a most sensible rule and it is one
that should be rigidly enforced not

COMPETENT TO CRITICISE.

An art student was copying one of
Abott 5. Thayers paintings at the
Metropolitan Museum of Art one day.
when a plainly dressed man, who
looked as if he might be mechanic,
approached and, posting himself at
the young mans elbow, watched him
as he labored over his subject
"Youve-got the angle of the mouth
wrong. and the left eye too blique,
remarked the man decidedly.
The student blinked angrily and the
hand that welded the brush trembled
slightly but he took no notice of the
unsolicited criticism.
There is too much yellow in your
flesh tint" continued the man.
Still no reply from the student who
ostentatiously slapped on more yellow
in the high line on the nose.
did you hear what | said?" ques'
toned the man.
Yes, I heard" responded the stu
dent, wrathfully turning and glaring
at his modest looking critic. What
do you know about it, anyway"

it." was the smiling response. 1T

INTEREST IN GOOD HOUSING.

The initial bulletin of the National
Housing Association. whose head
quarters are in New York City. calls
attention to the interest being mani
tested throughout the United States
in the subject of better housing, es-
pecially in large cities. There are
now forty cities that possess active
associations or committees whose
object is to promote the destruction
or improvement of insanitary dwell
llngs and building of netter ones,
says n Chicago exchange. Two state
Organizations, in Indiana and Massa-
chusetts, are doing effective work.
1t is coming to be very generally
realized that poor housing means
poor citizenship and inefficient work
ers. Consequently employers of la
Dor, as well as philanthropists and
social workers, are giving attention
to the problem of improving the
worst quarters of our cities. In Chi.
cago the Association of Commerce
has worked out a practical program
for work to be done this year, and
the City Club is active. Pittsburgh,
Detroit, Boston, san Francisco and
Milwaukee have movements for bet
ter housing, and in Lawrence, the
Massachusetts city which has attract
ed national attention as the scene of
a bitter struggle between mill own
ers and their employees, many i'm
proved tenements have been built.
The wide interest thus shown in
the housing question is encouraging.
Much must be done in many cities,
but with public opinion actively ar
oused great progress may be made
in a short time. The work deserves
the active support of every citizen,
property owner and public official.

Public Schools.

In antiquity the masses of the peo'
pie grew up in ignorance of things
literary. Public education-the educa
tion that exists for the masses of the
people-began, practically, with John
Calvin's rule in Geneva. from which
time popular education had steadily
gained ground. The free school sys.
TEN had it's beginning in Great Brit
ain, about the year 1850, with Robert
Raikes and his Sunday school move
ment. 1t was not until 1860, however,
that the free public schools began to
get itself firmly rooted in the British
Isles. In this country from the start
the idea of universal education was
championed by Jefferson and other
leaders among us. and the idea has
never ceased to be fundamental with
us, as absolutely necessary to the
prevention of the liberty on which the
government Is founded.

Luminous Metal Discovered.

For generations the peasants OF
Cornwall have handed down a legend
that at night there may be seen a
family luminous metal among the
rocks brought from the mines of the
county. A British scientist has proved
that this story Ia by no means based
on imagination. A specimen of the
mineral autunite, which is also found
In Wales, was sent to him from Portu-
gal because of its shining character.
He finds that 1t closely resembles ar
tificially prepared salts of uranium,
and that its luminosity Is due to spon.
taneous radio-activity. The light 1t
sheds Is stronger than that Of nitrate
of uranium. Upon parting with its wa
ter Of capitalization the metal loses

TAFT CAPTURES

Lincoln, Neb, July 27.-It became
known here today that a plan was
effected at conference Of progress
sive and regular Republicans here
last night, whereby the candidates
for presidential electors ON the Re-
publican ticket who are favorable to
Roosevelt will withdraw and their
places will be filled by men who, If
elected, will cast ,neir votes for

Gov, Aldrich was a party to the
conference. but it was reported at
the state house this morning that he
would refuse to carry out the agree
ment and. would stand by his earlier
position for Roosevelt
1t was conceded that the progress
sive element of the party should be
permitted to name the permanent
of the Republican State
convention, which meets here next
Tuesday, but with the understanding
that every utterance made by any
speaker should be in the line of ac-
cepted Republican doctrine and har-
mony.

and Amusement of all Natives crowd
ed the doors of his hut and iostled
one another to get peek through
convenient chinks, giving him all the
time their opinion Of his eyes, nose,
and general appearance. In<vain did
he shut the door of his hut They
crowded back again, and at last sat
down in rings outside the hut to dis

sending them away. At last the
stranger could stand 1t no longer.
1t was bright moonlight night. He

threw 1t open, and with loud shout
sprang toward the natives. At the

two rows Of false teeth and waved
them in the air, The natives took one

fed in horror from the presence Of %

Billiards

The French ascribe the invention OF
the game of billiards to one Hendique
Devigne. an artist, about the year
1871. The game is mentioned by
Spencer about 1891, and by Shakes
peare in 1907. Cotton, in his Com
plete Gamester" 1874, gives a very
full account of the game. 1t win not
do, however, to be too emphatic in
asserting the "modern origin of the
popular game, for there are fairly good
reasons for thinking that it was
known as far back as the age of the
Pharaohs of old Egypt. 1t is claimed
by good authorities that the men of
old Pompeii played a game very SIM
liar to our modern billiards. Many OF
our modern Inventions" are merely
ravivals.
