ChlOrin- Bleached Flour.

Since the bleaching of flour
with the oxids of nitrogen has
been forbidden in the United
States under the Food and
Drugs Act, there are signs of
the introduction of other pro-
cesses intended to produce SINH
lar changes in the wheat pro-
duct. In one of these chlorin is
the bleaching agent employed,
the anhydrOus gas being diluted
with an inert gas and then used
to mature and whiten" the
flour. Without commenting at
this time on the legal aspects of
the matter, we may fairly ask
whether the new process confers
any advantages on the cereal
which will render it superior to
the ordinary unbleached patent
flour. Mere appearance need not
be taken into consideration here
Experiments conducted in con-
nection with the pure food work
at the Kansas State Agricultural
College in Manhattan have
shown that although the chlorin
content of untreated flour NAV
run as high as 576 parts per mil
lion, chlorin-treated -four will
contain over 600 parts per mil
lion, Chlorin treatment increases

.BilIy" Sunday.

"Wretchedly vulgar was the
coment of a Philadelphia clerg-
man on the Rev. Billy" Sun
days opening night jeremiad in
that city. Colloquial, inelegant,
b~oisterous, Incorporate in
speech, he undeniably was. The
argot of the ~racetrack, the ball
field, the prize ring and selected
excerpts from the jargons Of
FOUNDERS and hobOes and gunner
and thieves roll huently from his
tongue. He is sometimes racy,
picturesque and vivid, but he is
certainly a slangwhanger; and
his habitual, preferential en-
ployment Of words, SMILES and
locutions in common use among
coarse, low-toned and ill-bred
people Justify the c~lergyman's
Characterization of vulgarity.
Conceding all this, it may be
urged in eXtenuation that the
writer or speaker whose pro-
duction takes with the vulgar
must be Of the vulgar mold by
vulgar as used in this connection
being meant the vulgus, the or
binary public, the common run Of
men. That Mr.. Sunday attracts
them cannot be doubted nor can
it be gainsaid that his preaching
does some good to some who
hear him. 1t is not debatable,
however, if his boorish verna-
cularisms, his fippant levity and
his irreverent shocking handling
of sacred themes and names does
not by vulgarizing all who hear
him, do more harm to the many
than good to the few.
No impassioned preacher or
great revivalist of the past who
comes to mind, no trumpet voice
of evangelism, no founder or ex-
FOUNDER of faith, not Whitfield
OF Wesley or Moody, ever sought
TO gain a hearing or deliberately
weaving a studied and ignoble
-coarseness into their discourses.
We have yet to be convinced that
Mr.. Sundays eXhortations which
have a certain vigorous asd stir
ring eloquence in them, would
not be more effective if they
were not cheapened by the taw-
dry and impious linguistic EN-.
broidery which he tacks on
Gloyersville Herald.

strange that a man Of such un-

able to usurp a Quasi-judicial

the acidity of the flour. The
gluten tests run practically alike,
for the bleached and unbleached
-four. The baking experts report
that there are no differences in
loaf volume; but the bleached
flour gives a loaf having an OBJ
jectionable color and texture. In
nearly every case the bread made
from the unbleached flour gra-
ded better. According to The
Journal of the American Medical
Association, the chlorin-bleach-
ing cannot be defended on the
ground that bread-making quail
tiles of the flour are improved.

Success!

Success!
The secret of success is that it
is no secret. Everyone desires
success. 1t is obtainable by all,
IN reasonable measure. The
man who has no ambition to
succeed has nothing to live for.
He is of no use to himself or to
his fellow men. He might as
well be dead and buried.
The world on one level would
be common place and intoler-
able. The success of one is
measured by that of others, for
like happiness, success is rela-
tive, One may be happy with
little, and another unhappy with
much. So one may succeed in
small measure and still call it
success, while another achieving
greater distinction remains I'M
satisfied.
No man succeeds by himself.
No great business is ever estab-
lished by one man working alone.
The greatest gift of the success
full man lies in his ability to sur
Ound himself with those who
can best hold up his hands, carry
out his purposes and follow out
his plans.
A man cannot think for his fell
low workers unless he thinks
with them. He may be able to
plan; he may have experience
that entities him to command,
but if he is attempting big
things, he must trust his assO-
ciates and they must trust him,
There must be a fellowship of in
terests, and a keen appreciation
of temperamental differences,
which are of minor consequence
in the operation Of great affairs.
1t is a wise Providence that
created men with these differ
ences, as it created flowers with
variations Of color, the earth
with plains and valleys, lakes
and oceans. To the doubling
mind, these variations are the
best evidences of a Creating
Hand.
Success never comes to the
employer without the help and
support of those with whom he
surrounds himself. 1t never
comes unless the employer and
the employee both deserve it. II
never comes in its full fruition ia
capital unless it is willing to rec
ognize the part that labor has in
creating it. These are the fun.
damentals. With them success

The interests of capital and la

who breaches to the contrary is

cast out, for a demagogue neve

MIR. Frank P. Walsh's Tirade.

Mr. Frank P. Walsh's theory Of
remedy for all the ills of.life by
universal confscation may be
left to the good sense and hon
esty of the people for adjudica-
ton. 1t is not likely that many
citizens will see general prosper
lily in general plumber by the
Government. 1t is not likely
that many people will regard as
fair or honest when backed by
the State acts which if commit
ted by private individuals would
obviously be grand larceny.
1t is not likely that any ordi-
nary man who sees ahead the
hope Of acquiring substance
either himself or his children or
even his children's children-wiIl
give Endorsement to a pro
gramme of government which
lays such gains or savings open
to spoliation. What matter
though his probable fortune be
less than the million of perdition,
the principle is the same. If the
Government can seize a great
amusement Of wealth it can take
a small one. There is no way of
drawing a line and no place to
draw it. Once confscation be-
gins no mans property is safe,
and the only security will be in
the method pursued under Orien-
tai tyrannies, that of converting
all wealth into gold or precious
stones and hiding it in the
ground.
Mr.. Walsh's talk is Tar to,
frenzied to call for serious argu-
ment. The exact measures of
his usefulness from a practi al
point Of view is shown in his
proposed remedy for u~em0'oy-
ed. He grayely suggests the
creation of a national commiss-
ion to hear the grievances of all
the unemployed as well as to ad-
minister industry for the welfare
of the workers. AS respects the
present crisis it need only be
pointed out that, while the COM
mission created instantaneously,
the idea Of meeting an acute and
temporary condition by means of
an inquiry belongs to the order
of misft contrivances.
When the crisis has passed,
what is there for the commission
to do? AT normal times there is
no unemployment in this country
worth speaking of save in the
sick brains Of fanatics. But a
sure way to create it is to launch
another commission to NEEDLE
with industry. Try that, and
there will indeed be unemploy-
ment-panic driving capital in
to holes in the ground and re-
cesses at the back of chimneys :
fear and anger paralyzing posi-
bic employers and driving them
into inactivity. Mr.. Walsh might
reflect that you can regulate pay
and hours of employment all you
please, but you cannot compel
employers to employ.
1t is an oddly of our national
system that any man whose no.
tons are at once so loose and SC
violent should hold a prominen.
