After Four Years Of Discouragins

Catron, Ky.-ln an interesting letter
from this place, Mrs. Bette Bullock
writes as follows: 81 suffered for fous
years, with womanly troubles, and during

while, and could not walk anywhere at

in my left side.
The doctor was calledi in, and his treat

that, nothing seemed to do me any good.

In the Midst of Life.

At the headquarters Of the French
army in Bologne l saw more than a
hundred officers of both armies. And
/ have never seen anywhere more
splendid looking men. Lean old gen
erals, broad shouldered colonels, all
wearing the very countenance of vic
tory. One would have said that moth
ing could defeat such men. Yet l
shuddered as I watched them. Every
single man in that room was facing
death as if it were a crown he covet-
ed.
Once the door was flung open. A
man covered with snow and mud hur-
ried in. He was a messenger with
news from the front. Instantly there
was a stir. A tall young British Of
ficer, with face as keen as sword,
seized his great coat, saluted and
went out.
The next day the II o'clock boat
upon which I came to Folkstone car
ried his body back to England. That
is what happens every hour of every
day and night. And it happens like
that. This moment he is man fill
ed with all hopes and al courage,
more significant and more mysteri-
Gus than the stars above his head.
The next moment he is less than the
dust he trod. The part that was
hope. courage and mystery is gone.
What remains is so horrible that
even love makes haste to hide 1t IN
the earth.-Cora Harris in the Sat-
urday Evening Post.

Chlorin-Bleached Flour.

Since the bleaching of flour with
the, oxids of nitrogen has been for
bidden in the United States under
the food and drugs act, there are
signs of the introduction of other
processes intended to produce SINH
lar changes in the wheat product. In
one of these chlorin is the bleaching
agent employed, the anhydrous-gas
being diluted with an inera gas and
then used to mature and whiten'
the -four. Without commenting at
this time on the legal aspects of the
matter, we may fairly ask whether
the new process confers any advan-
tages on the cereal which will render
it superior to the ordinary unbleach-
ed patent -four. Mere appearances
need not be taken into consideration
here. Experiments conducted in
connection with the pure food work
at the Kansas State Agricultural COL
lege in Manhattan have shown that
although the chlorin content Of un-
treated flour may run as high as
SIS parts per million, chlorln-
treated flour will contain over 500
parts per million. Chlorin-treatment
increases the acidity of the -four. The
gluten tests run practically alike for
the bleached and unbleached flour.
The baking experts report that there
are no differences in loaf volume;
but the bleached flour gives a loaf
having an Objectionable color and
texture. In nearly every case the
bread made from the unbleached
flour graded better. According to
the Journal of the American Medical
association, the chlorin-bleaching
cannot be defended on the ground
that bread-making qualities of the
flour are improved.

Wouldn't Waste Ammunition.

Colonel Smith. of Mississippi, be-
fore the war, had an old negro, Of the
family-pet, pampered, privileged
character variety, who teased his
master for a breech-loading, double
barreled shotgun which had just
come into vogue, says Judge.
The master humored the old man
by giving him the coveted tirearm.
Now" said the colonel, Il want
you to kill deer with this gun. III
put you on a stand near runaway,
and the boys and l will drive a deer
past for you to shoot"
Il sure will get dat misto deer
eh-hee-e-e-e-e." boasted Rastus.
The arrangements were completed,
and after half an hour or SOS beat
ing. a magnificent puck came plung-
ing out of the brush, antlers covered
with vines and twigs from his hasty
flight through the underground.
Frustrated with 'buck-fever,' Rastus
never even aimed the piece or pulled
the trigger. A few minutes later the
colonel came up and asked indignant
": why in the world didn't you
shoot?"
well, yo' see, Marse Cunnel, when
dat dah buck come by whah Is at,
he was a-jumpin' so high an al
lightin' so hahd, yo'll fine i'm layln
dead somewhat clost, anyhow"

Blaming 1t on Wilson.

The delicatessen man found
That all his sweet pickles were
sour;
His beans were improperly Drowned
And worms had got into his flour,
"Oh, why is your coffee unground?'
1 asked, and he answered me true:
81 blame in on Wilson, on President
Wilson;
blame it on Wilson, do"
The barber as cutting my hair
(Yes, poets have it scissored some
times.)
He said: "Oh this morning so fair,
I've made only three little dimes
I said: IF long tresses we wear,
Who's guilty." He gave me the
Gu:
81 blame it on Wilson, on President
Wilson;
l blame it one Wilson, I do"
A dramatist gave US play
That wasn't exactly hit;
1t ran one consecutive day,
And then to the storehouse for it!
l heard the mad dramatist say:
"You call it my fault, sir? Pooh
pooh!
I blame it one Wilson, on President
Wilson;
| blame it on Wilson, I do!'
Smith wanted to go for walk,
But found it had rained in the
dark,
But never human would hark,
They cried: "At such hoodoos we
balk!"
The answer blew out of the blue;
go blame it on Wilson, President
Wilson;
Go blame it on Wilson, just do"
A observation-disclosures.
You're blamed if it's wet or it's
dry!
You're blamed if the water-plpes
leak!
You're blamed if an auto won't
fly!
You're blamed for most any old
freak!
For this is the cry of the crew:
I'VE blame it on Wilson, President
Wilson;
We blame it on Wilson, We do!'

Finance.

A $3,OOO,OOO BABY.
Little John Jacob AStor ~ to Become
Man of Affairs.

Little John Jacob Astor w." says
the Register and Leader, like his
early ancestors who founded the
family fortune of the name he bears,
will become a man of affairs in the
business world when he reaches ma
turity. He will be trained from child
hood for such a career"
A member of the family of Mrs.
John Jacob Astor, who was Miss
Madeline Force, thus epitomizes the
hopes and plans that Mrs. Astor
cherishes for the "three-million-dol-
lar-baby," who has Just passed the
second anniversary of his birthday.
Mrs. Astor has confided to relatives
and friends that she will train her
son to take a serious interest in life,
so he will be a valuable asset to the
community rather than a social idler,
leading frivolous life as a rich
heir.
Mrs. Astor will direct the educa-
tion of her boy along well-defined
lines" the member of her family
continued. He will be reared with
a healthy love for outdoor sports and
the pleasures of outdoor life" He is
what one might term a fresh air
baby, and is taken out of doors every
day regardless of the cold.
Col. John Jacob Astor, father OF
the boy. perished in the Titanic. His
will created trust fund of S3,00O,-
900 for the child. BY the time the
boy attains mis- majority it is estimat-
ed that the fund will amount to
nearly $1O,000,000, because of ju-
dicious investments.
The child is strong, beautiful, with
an unusually active intellect. The
past two seasons we're spent on his
mothers villa in Bar Harbor, Me-
His open air romping there, COM
bined with the personal care of Mrs
Astor and a scientific diet, made him
robust and BEAUTIFULLY happy boy.
Mrs. Astor's relatives give an in
teresting glimpse of the manner in
which young John Jacob Astor is be-
ing nursed.
Regularly every morning his nurse
drives out with him for an hour or
two. This programme will be fol-
lowed, no matter how far the tenn
perature may fall below zero. After
a simple dinner, which he eats at
l o'clock, and which is supervised
by his mother, the young heir is put
to bed and sleeps soundly until 3
O'Clock. Then he is again taken for
a drive in the park.
Sometimes he halts the. carriage
so he may watch children at play.
Tiring of this amusement, he is TAX
en- home and given the freedom OF
the Astor nursery and the baby
gymnasium with which it is equip
ped. There, in the toy fairyland
ceaselessly watched over, he disports
until evening.
Almost from the day of his birth,
August IA, 1911, the boy was put
to bed in a cold room, with all win
dows open. This has helped to make
him larger and stronger than pamper-
ed playmates of the same age. Mrs
Astor believes it has also helped to
quicken his perception. AS an in
stance of his keen observation she
relates this incident.
Returning from Bar Harbor the
other evening, he was permitted to
remain up late for the time. He
looked with wonderment at the night
sky. Noticing a star he exclaimed
to his mother, ooh, mamma, see the
hole in the sky

ADOPTED By HOUSE.
Committee Measure Substituted for
Sinkler Compulsory Bill.

Columbia, Feb. 1l.-Good dinners
and an afternoon of reflection re-
suited in a complete legislative SOM
ersault of the compulsory education
situation. This morning the house
pummelled the life almost out of the
compromise bill. 1t cut off one leg
by changing the age requirement for
compulsory school attendance from s
to IA years to from to - years,
ending the compulsory limit at II
instead of IA years. Tonight the
house restored the age to IA by vote
of "A to SO. This morning Mr.. Moore
shot into the vitals of the compro-
mise substitute bill by limiting the
compulsory period to four months in
each year. Tonight this was knock
ed into cooked hat.
When the house adjourned for din
ner the substitute compromise Har-
per bill was a tottering remnant OF
its original self. Tonight showed
wonderful change. Messrs. Harper,
Lilies, Mccullough, Sellers, tombstone
and other compulsory education lead
ers had gotten in excellent work.
The programme was to pass the rem
nant of the substitute bill, including
all the Moore amendments. That be-
ing out of the way, the Sinkler bill,
as passed by the senate, was taken
up. Mr.. Moore tried to puncture the
age limit in the senate bill.
Morning Vote Revised.
The house reversed its morning
vote, and by record vote of SO to
A refused to change the age as
fixed for compulsory school attend
ance from s to IA years. Then
came the real legislative miracle. Mr..
Harper moved as an amendment to
the senate bill. virtually as a sub
stitute, the entire bill prepared by
the special house committee, consist
ing of Messrs Harper, Hawkins, Odom
| and Mccullough. The published
substitute bill went over the plate
without a single change, by vote
OF 90 to -.
Thus the house has ordered to
third reading the bill it worked on
this morning and in which are nu-
merous amendments. This was the
Harper house bill Then tonight the
house ordered to third reading the
Sinkler senate bill with the senate
head, but the body framed by the
special house committee as a COM
promise measure The bill will like
" 20 to free conference unless the
senate agrees to the house substitute
! bill.

lowing members of the steering COM
mittee under the house resolution:

had become too wise to attempt to
show how little they knew about rid
ing.
After I returned to Los Angeles,
We corrcsponded for several months
and he sent me his picture in full
regalia. The girls in the studio waxed
enthusiastic and looked upon him as
quite conquest. Then one day a
letter came, telling me he was on his
way to Los Angeles to see me. 1t
was not three minutes later when the
whole studio of girls knew about it
and there promised to be much
rivalry among US.

CIR little bubbles of dreams should
hav: to burst just when they are
most colorful! looked at the man
who stood before me and all that
was left of my woolly western cow
boy hero was the smile, and even
that was broken by two gold teeth
which he wore prominently in the
front of his jaw. (He acknowledged
to me later that the dentist thirty
miles from the rancho had persuaded
him the lure of gold was more potent
than the commonplace offering which
was natures own).
A barber had cut off those curly
black locks and the back of his head
had been shaved almost to his ears.

times smaller than it was originally

kind it was of him to consider me,
the girls came flocking to my dress
ing room door, and could conceal, no
better than l, their disappointment.
He stayed about an hour and l have
never seen him since. One of the
other cowboys came down from the
rancho to play in pictures and told
me my hero had gone back to Goods

telling them that he didn't have much

New York, Dec. 19.-The social center
of Gotham has moved northward some
800 feet since last December. This palpi-
tating information comes from the Social
Register just issued. The real ultra ul-
ira corner, with all the glory of the bla-
bla, is at Madison avenue and Sixty
fourth street. There are only l2,375 fam
lilies Of sufficient Importance to have
their names printed in the volume.
OF these, 7,315 families live In New
York, S.O97 live in the country. 80 are
wintering at Washington. 50 in Califor-
mia. 2oi in Paris and l6s in London. Those
who think Fifth avenue Is the main So
cial street have another guess coming.
The real social butterflies dwell on Park
avenue and Madison avenue in second in
importance.
In 1855, all the society people lived on
Twenty-first street. They are all driven
out now by vulgar tradesmen. The only
society folk downtown now live in
Washington Square and Gramercy Park.
They are the same families that have
lived there for many decades and the
semi-privacy Of the square and park
makes life bearable for them. 1t is ter
