wrapped In the bakery. the wrapping
being done In such manner that af-
ter baking no hand touches the loaf
till IL reaches the consumer.
From the details OF the study as
here reproduced IL will be seen that
the wrapped bread at present on the
market is generally free from bacilli
OF the colon group, but that the I'M
wrapped loaves, directly in proportion
to their exposure. are usually so con-
taminated. A report of a similar
study made under the auspices OF the
United States Department OF Agricul-
ture appears in the September num-
Der OF the American Journal of Public
Health and presents similar conclu-
sions. Only per cent of the samples
of wrapped bread showed bacilli of
the colon group, as compared TO 90
per cent for the unwrapped bread.
The federal investigators found that
wrapping added less than 5 per cent
TO the cost of a loaf, and that the
keeping qualities of the bread were
greatly enhanced, no change in flavor
being discoverable after AZ or even
ia hours. During the 42-hour period
loaves wrapped three hours after bak-
ing, in various varieties of paper
(waxed and unwaxed) lost on an
average less than 2 per cent in weight
from evaporation, and only u per
cent in paper waxed on both sides.
Compared to this. unwrapped bread
exposed lost about IL per cent, and
even in a glass case 10 per cent dur
ing the same period. Since evapora-
ton (drying) is the chief factor tend
ing 10 make stale bread unstable, the
possibility Of saving to baker is evid-
ent, and would undoubtedly more than
balance the extra cost of wrapping"

To the Editor OF the Bedding Banner
Belding. Michigan.
Dear Sir: / wish through the
columns of your valued paper to eX-
press my unqualified endorsement of
Mr.. II. H. Lowrey for the office of
commissioner OF schools in this
county.
OF Mr. Lowrey's standing as man.
| do not need to speak; everyone
knows his sterling worth and uncom-
promising integrity. He stands as a
worthy example before the young men
Of the county and ] trust the voters
will not consider lightly the great i'm
portance of this consideration.
AS to his efficiency as an educa-
tor and as an administrators of the
schools of the county, Mr.. Lowrey
commands the admiration OF all who
know of his work. | have known
intimately the school conditions in
three of the best counties of the state,
but in none of these counties are the
rural schools so well administered as
in this county. More than this, | do
not believe there is a better school
commissioner in Michigan. And judg-
ing by the prominence that Mr.. Low
rey has attained among educators of
all kinds in the state meetings this
estimate of his work seems to be
generally accepted. To drop such a
man from a position requiring a spec
ial high type OF ability and replace
him by a man OF little experience in
school administration would be a dis
credit 10 Ionia county. And / con-
fidently hope that the good people who
have the best interests of our coun-
try schools at heart will refuse to
make this important office mere
football to be banded about among
politicians and will give their hearty
endorsement by an overwhelming vote
TO the efficient, honest administration
of Mr.. Lowrey.
have no other motive In the writ
ing Of this letter than a deep interest
in the highest welfare of the schools
OF this county l have nothing to
gain in the support of Mr.. Lowrey;
but. believing that any man in an edu-
cational position who has done notably
efficient work should receive the sup
port of other men in his profession, /
should do less than my duty. as j see
it, in failing to give him my active
support at this time.
Yours truly,

ROAD CLEARED

Every indication points to the best
business condition ever enjoyed by
this country and the year 1915 which
is close at hand will see some wonder
full business activity in every direc-
ton The causes which are reputed
TO have held back "A general advance
have been removed and it is now up
10 business to make good. There is
no impending legislation before con-
gress that will in any way affect bust
ness and with the granting Of the in
crease IN railroad rates the issue is
placed squarely up to business to do
as promised when these restrictions
were removed. There is an unprece-
denied amount of business to be done
owing 70 the European war and the
condition of the railroads of the coun-
try which have been retrenching for
several years If the system of dis
tribution is carried out as it should
be there will be a ready market for
everything that can be produced by
farmer and manufacturer. The pro-
viding Of the needs of business will
give manufacture an unprecedented
impetus and the whole country will
feel the effects Of the new conditions.
European nations are looking to the
United States for the bulk OF the sup
plies that will be consumed during the
war and hundreds OF factories are
now working overtime in order to fill
the orders. Taken as a whole bust
ness conditions were never as good
and il is up to business itself to make
good on the promises made to the
people OF the United States during the
period when there was somewhat of
a slowing down in order TO meet the
readjustment necessary TO meet the
modern conditions. The new banking
system has at last placed the country
upon firm financial basis which will
not permit of stringent times in the
future along financial lines. When
viewed from every standpoint 1915
bids fair to be the real golden age Of
the nation which has been looked for
ward to by the people OF the United
States during the past fifty years.

HOW TO GET READY

Advocates OF a great standing army
establishment have fallen back some
what from their original position.
They began with the possibility OF
landing, somewhere on our shores, of
10000 troops, transported several
thousand miles from their base of
supplies. IL had 10 be assumed that
such an invasion could only follow a
failure of diplomatic exchanges be-
tween this government and some 9TH
err with view to peaceful settle
ment of a difference between them
In other words the possibility. or the
imminence, of war growing out of
a failure of diplomacy, might leave
us without time in which to prepare
a defense adequate To the force Of the
attack.
That position has been found so un-
tenable that it seems now to have
been abandoned. Following after
comes the threat OF a sudden attack;
one, presumably. to be made without
preliminary negotiations, without eff
forts at peaceful adjustment, without
a formal, or even informal, declara-
ton Of war, but coming unawares like
the bridegroom upon the foolish vir-
But how could such thing be? 1t

Russia in and around Port Arthur
and in Manchuria, the distance from
the Japanese base being so short But
the United States maintains in every
foreign capital both military and
naval attaches of it's embassies, whose
duty it is 10 keep themselves and

of facts foreknowledge of which
should serve. at such long distances
as separate this country from others,
to save US from all danger of attack
so sudden as to be paralyzing stroke.
Talk OF a sudden attack is more an
indictment of our representatives
abroad than anything or anybody
else. But it is an indictment only.
The fact remains improved. 1t is
sometimes To be wondered. whether
the young gentlemen who, for the
most part, constitute the military and
naval attaches Of the embassies of
nations, are really of much service to
the countries accrediting them. They
are, we have often thought, worth
carrying all the time only as the Mis-
sissippian of the anecdote always car
ried a rifle, mot that he needed it
often, but when he would need it he
would need it bad" The fair infer
ence being that it did not fail him at
need, it must be equally fair TO in
fer that our military naval attaches
at foreign capitals would not fail us
in a crisis.
The latest explanation, and what
seems to be the most reasonable one,
OF how the German cruiser squadron

got OUT from behind the projection at
Helgoiand, and ran what was suppos-
ed to be blockade. before reaching
and Dombarding the British coast,
bears strongly on the point OF pre-
paredness. IL Is, I'm brief, that the
Germans have so many submarine
vessels, and SO many submarine mines,
movable and immovable, at that
point that the British ships must not
only lie FAR out at sea, but they must
be widely separated in their line of
formation. The fact, If II is a fact,
is Significant and prophetic of what
future lines OF armament must be.
Nations with land boundaries contig-
uous with those OF others great
enough, In population and other mill
tary resources to constitute a mem
ace may find IL necessary to main
tain large standing armies. Such ma
tions as the United States, with long
coast lines TO defend, should bend in
telligence and energy toward finding
and adopting the surest means of their
defense and to building a navy OF swift
ships and destroyers equal to the task
OF preventing the transport and land
ing OF troops, by any hostile power, in
nations or dependencies fronting our
north and south frontiers, both of
which should be better fortified with
forts carrying heavy guns, OF long
range, than they now are.
