his regret that Mrs. Wilson and the

GO BACK TO MOTHER NATURE
Scientists in Their Discoveries Un
cover Lead That May Mean
Much to the Race.

If the green plant in sunlight can
elaborate from water and carbon diox,
ide one of our chief food substances
starch, there is no reason why the
biological chemist should not discover
the secret of this process and initiate
it on a commercial scale. Starch,
believe, has never been synthetized,
but some sugars have been so con-
structed. Two years ago Stoklasa
and Sdobnicky made the remarkable
discovery that by the action of ultra,
violet light on nascent hydrogen and
carbon dioXide sugar was formed
Such discoveries as this suggest the
means by which we are to throw of
our slavery to the green plant, and
am convinced that in time this over
throw will become so complete that
our staple foods will be the products
of the biological chcmist.-Popular

Some of Reasons Why Names
Appeared.

In the publication yesterday Of de-
linQuent water customers in tho
hands Of the mayor, this paper print
ed the list just as it officially ap-
peared. stating in the article that
there was something strange about
the list whichthe State Journal was
unable to explAin and about which it
had received no satisfactory explana-
ton from the water department.; the
list including many OF the wealthiest
and best known citizens and firms.
After delving into the matter further
here are some of the explanations:
In the first place the amount
charged against the National hotel on
the official list is admitted by the
Of the National Hotel company. which
is paying its bills promptly from
month to month.
The water department explains the
matter in this way: Some years ago
and up to last year owing to q lack OF
pressure the dfty was unable to, at
all times, furnish water to the upper
stories of the hotel and on this ac-
count rebates were given by the hotel
to the guests. The water meter was
also known to be inaccurate. In an
effort to cover the trouble the hotel
went to the expense of installing q
pressure regulator. The department
stated that 4 liberal allowance was
naturally due from the city to the ho-
tel. Pending a settlement of the diff
ferences the hotel paid it's bills from
month to month. It is expected that
shortly just settlement will be made,
satisfactory to both the city and the
hotel.
Other technical delinquencies are
due to meter readings known to be
irregular on account of undiscovered
leaks. These cases out Of the 1900
consumers cannot always be adjusted
before the user becomes on the face
of the accounts q delinquent.
Other concerns are on the list because
methods and systems pertaining to their
business have sometimes made an ac-
count an over due one before remittance
has been received.
Chief Of Police Ross, who was on the
list. telephOned that he is not customer
OF the city water, has not been for several
years and did not owe the city. Reference
to the list shows that it was printed in
this list just as 1t appears on the mayor
paper. The department explains this
matter by saying that the account is car
ried In the CHIEFS name because he Is
regarded as responsible for the particular
account in question.
