legged by the chamber of commerce be-
fore Examiner Orville Berry of the

- The Milwaukee organization is com

direct shipments, despite a longer
haul from points In Minnesota, North

CORN OIL FOR COOKING.
Kansas Professor Sees q Wide Use For
B~yproduct OF Cereal Factories.


The discovery that oil made from
corr can be used economically as a
substitute for other oils In cooking
has been made by Professor L. Il.
Sayre of the school OF pharmacy at
the University Of Kansas.
The cheapness Of corn OIL suggests
the possibility Of economy In substitute
ing 1t In place of the more expensive
oils" says Professor Sayre. "Our ex-
periments show the value Of this sub
stitution In medicinal preparations.
We are continuing our work to deter
mine It's Importance in cooking and to
prove that corn oil may be used inter
changeably with cottonseed and olive
oils"
Corn oil Is a ~byproduct from cereal
manufacturing. 1t Is comparatively
cheap, selling at so cents a gallon for
the refined grade. Olive OIL sells at s.
a gallon and cottonseed oil at rs cents
Corn oil has a pale yellow color and a
pleasant taste similar to freshly ground
cornmeal. Its properties. according to
Professor Sayre. are very similar to
those of olive and c~ottonseed oils.

FLORIDA AND HER VETERANS.
STATES Confederate Pension Allowance
the laroest-Nest Reunion.

Interesting In connection with the
twenty-fourth annual reunion at Jack
sonville. Fla, May 9, I and s, is the
fact that Florida pays out more mon
ey per capita for the support of de
pendent ex-Confederate soldiers than
any other southern state. Florida's
allowance for this purpose has been
5000 900 a year, but the legislature has
passed a still more liberal pension law,
which will authorize additional pay
ments of approximately $4,000 a
year, making the total $750.OO0 per
annum paid to Confederate pensioners
by the state.
Florida is not only caring for the liv-
ing. but the memory of the dead Is
also kept green. Throughout the state
Confederate monuments have been
erected by both public and private
means. All told, there are twenty, or
possibly more, and others are yet to be
erected. A home for ex-Confederate
soldiers is maintained at Jacksonville.
Last year the state appropriated S.
at Jacksonville. Two Confederate mon
uments have been erected at Jackson
Vile, and a monument will be dedicat-
ed to the women OF the Confederacy
during the coming reunion. This mon
ument Is a companion to the handsome
state memorial unveiled last May on
the battlefield of Chickamauga.

RATES HELD REASONABLE
Commerce Commission Passes on
Charge for Potatoes.

Washington, March Conditions
and regulations under which potatoes
are shipped during the winter months
have been for years q subject of con
test between shippers and railroads,
the crux OF the question being the
cost of such reasonable precautions
as TO prevent loss through the freez-
ing of the potatoes In transit.
The interstate commerce commits
sion held that tariff regulations pub
lished by the railroads are fair and
reasonable" which allow the shipper
a choice between shipping his traffic
at a lower rate under a special con
tract by which he becomes bis own
insurer against weather loss and dam
age or of making his shipments under
terms imposing the full responsible
ity upon the carrier" at a higher rate.

literally swallowed up In the cities.
Many inquiries were received at the
