Flour Substitutes.

The United States bureau of chem
istry is now testing a number of So
called flour substitutes" These are
not intended to replace wheat flour,
but to be used in combination with it
in making bread. The substitutes thus
far examined include fours made Of
chestnuts, bananas, peanuts, soy beans,
peas, corn, barley, oats, rye, etc. AL
together about thirty substitutes have
been found to give satisfactory re-
suits when not more than rs per cent
of the substitute is used with rs per
cent of wheat flour in bread-making
Bread made of IL parts of boiled po-
tato to nine of ordinary flour is said
to be satisfactory.-Scientific Ameri-

The history of our reform proves
that it is well-nigh impossible to take
prohibition from state constitution
when once placed there by the voters
of a commonwealth. Constitutional
prohibition is not dependent upon
party politics. Unlike a statutory
law it is not at the mercy of each in
coming legislature. The liquor traffic
constantly defies the laws of the pro-
hibition states. Nothing short of ma
tion-wide prohibition will give to these
states the power to effectively enforce
their prohibition laws.
