London to Have New Lord Mayor.

Though he does not assume office
till November 8, the election of the
lord mayor of London, England, the
successor of the tabled Dick Whiting
ton, and other historic magistrates,
takes place this month. Already it is
announced that the choice of the liv-
erymen, the members of the city com
panies, who elect the lord mayor, has
fallen upon Sir Thomas Vansittart
Bowater, who is the head Of a large
firm Of paper merchants. Sir Vansit-
tart, as he is popularity called, has
been a common councilman since 1899.
He was high sheriff of London in
1865, when he assisted the lord may.
or of the day, Sir Walter Vaughan
Morgan, to entertain the late King
George of Greece at the Guildhall, and
to welcome King George and Queen
Mary, at that time prince and princess
of Wales, on their return home from
India. Sir Vansittart, during his year
of office, made civic visits to Milan
and Rome, when he was honored with
an audience by the king Of Italy.

FOR UNIFORM ROAD LAWS
Canada to Join Hands With the Uni
ted States if Premier Borden
Approves the Idea.

Canada will be represented with the
United States in an endeavor to OBJ
tain uniform laws pertaining to road
building, if the proposition meets the
approval of Premier Borden, according
to an announcement made at the
American Road congress by A. w.
Campbell; deputy minister of railways
and canals for the Canadian govern
ment. Mr.. Campbell said that he
would use his influence in urging the
premier to consent to the appointment
of a committee to confer with a COM
mittee representing the American
Highway association and the American
Bar association to evolve a plan for
uniform road laws.
II realize that in Canada, as we'll as
throughout the United States, we have
10 varieties Of road laws for every
province" said Mr.. Campbell. This
tends to retard real road work, and l
heartily indorse any plan that would
bring about practically the same laws
for both the United States and Canada
relative to good roads"

gut into operation by company Of
schen4rs who told a confiding public
that many fortunes were to be made
by importing into England compressed
dried grapes from Spain, Italy and
elsewhere, then saturating them with
good English water, and making wine
from them 1t was stated in the pros
pectus that dried grapes could be i'm
ported at much cheaper rate than
wine, and that it was possible to pro
duce an equc quantity Of wine OF
equal quality to that made abroad

by the British public, who firmly be.
lieved in the idea until the scheme col
lapsed.

HOPE FOR WOMEN OF FIFTY
Time When She Should BE PhIIo-
sophleal and Prepared for Wise
Old Age.

There are people today asking with
all appearance Of sincerity what a
woman OF fifty or more can do. Their
combining work in the home, say these
observers, is done. A common sugges-
ton is that they be utilized in poll
tics. This suggestion has its comical
side, Miss Tarbell declares. A per-
son who has nothing to do after fifty
years of life in a business as many
sided and demanding as that of a
woman can hardly be expected to be
worth much in a business as COM
plicated and uncertain as politics and
for which she had had no training.
The notion that the woman's business
is ended at fifty or sixty is fantastic
in the extreme. 1t only ends there if
she has been blind to the meaning of
her own experiences; If she has never
gone below the surface of her task
never seen in 1t anything but physical
duties; has sensed none of it's init
mate relations to the community, none
OF its obligations toward those who
have left her, pone of those toward
the oncoming generations. If it ends
there she has failed to realize, too
the tremendous Importance to all
those who belong in her circle or who
touch it of what she makes of herself,
or her personal achievement.
A woman of fifty or sixty who has
succeeded has come to a point of
sound philosophy and serenity which
is Of the utmost value in the mental
and spiritual development of the
group to which she belongs. Life at
every one of it's seven stages has it's
peculiar narrowing experiences-hope
mingles with uncertainty in youth !;
fear and struggle characterize early
manhood; establishment, the ques-
| ton whether 1t is worth while, fill the
years from forty to fifty, but resolute
graphing with each period brings one
out almost inevitably into a fine
+ serene certainty which cannot but
have Its effect on those who are young
er. Ripe old age-cheerful, useful
and understanding-is one of the
finest influences in the world. We
hang Rembrandts or Whistler's pic
ture Of his mother on our walls thai
we may feel it's quieting hand, the
sense of peace and achievement which
the picture carries. We have no bet
ter illustration of the meaning of olC
age.-American Magazine.

CHOCOLATE PLANT is NATIVE
Has Been Cultivated in Many coun-
tries, But II Undoubtsdly orisi-
mated in America.

The chocolates plant is a native of
America. When first introduced into
Europe chocolate was used only as
luxury. but it speedily advanced in
popular esteem. II is now cultivated
in countries far from its original home.
The chocolate plant, as we'll as tea
and coffee, has been cultivated from
time immemorial. Chocolate as a bev-
craze rapidly made it's way in Europe,
beginning in Spain, whittier it was first
brought.
The seeds Of the chocolate plant are
in PODS. In preparing the seeds for
market there has been but little
change since early times. First the
seeds are allowed TO ferment, and thus
thev lose the slight bitterness which
they possess when fresh. Then they
are carefully dried, and in this condi-
ton they stand transparent. In manu-
featuring the seeds or beans are roast
ed by which process the shell of the
seed becomes detachable from the kerr
mel which is the part used. Next the
roasted kernels are ground.
In early times the Mexicans used the
fiat stones on which their maize was
ground for the grinding of the roasted
seeds of chocolate. Chocolate consists
of the roasted, shelled and ground
seeds. Sweet chocolate is the same
with the addition of sugar and favor
ing extracts. Cocoa consists of the
roasted and ground seeds from which
the oil has been removed. Experiments
have shown that if the seeds are right
ly treated from the first to the last
stage of manufacture no objection can
be urged against the beverage pro-
duced from them. 1t is of Importance
that these seeds should be grown and
selected with the greatest care and
should, after reaching the factory, re-
ceive the most careful and skillful

New Use of the Banana.

There are now in Jamaica six fac
tories manufacturing banana figs,
chips, meal and -four" said James
Nice Harris of Boston, who recently
returned from Jamaica. During the
seasons at which the fruit is cheapest
all Of these plants are run at their
maximum capacity. The methods Of
drying the fruit are different in diff
ferent plants, though all resort, l be-
lieve, to hot air process. 1t takes
about 400 to 500 pounds Of the fruit
to manufacture 100 pounds Of meal.
The banana fig is as palatab!e as
the natural fig and resembles it close
ly in color. 1t has replaced the nat
ural fig in many markets in which it
has been introduced. The chips are
sold primarily for breakfast foods,
being made into a porridge. Several
of the manufacturers, who deal in the
European markets, ship the chips to
their mills in those European cities
and have it ground into meal there,
Grist mills, the same kind used Tor
manufacturing meal from corn, are
used"
