Shelisd Dunkirk, but Dies Of Wounds.

narrowest margin in bringing informa-

hind the German lines. A storm or
shrapnel burst around the machine,
and a shell carried away part or the
tail and tore a large hole in the lower

time to locate a deep ditch rooted over
with concrete. from which peeped the
big gun that was sending half ton

The aviator was bleeding from a

but had the energy to make a compre-
hensive report. He said, II I'm salts
fed" and then died.

CARLOADS Of
OATS SEIZED
BY Federal Authorities, Who
AIlege That the Grain is
Adulterated.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Jan. 3d.
Seventy-fve carloads OF oats intends
ed for export have recently been seiz-
ed by the federal authorities because
they were found to be adulterated
within the meaning OF the food and
drugs act The adulteration charged
Is the addition Of feed barley or wat
er or both. Under certain circtim-
stances adulteration In these ways
may be SO profitable that 1t is be-
lieved to be at times common prac-
tice among grain shippers. Tho gov
eminent, however, Is determined that
the practice shall cease at once, and
field Representatives OF the department
of agriculture have all been instruct
ed to exercise the utmost vigilance
In detecting future shipments aduiter-
ated in this way.
Low grade barley which is known
to the trade as feed barley"is some
times mixed with oats when there
is sufficient difference between the
prices of the two grains to make this
profitable. This "feed barley" is the
product which, remains after the best
grade of the grain has been separated
sAAA ACAAONS0 AOA PURPOSES.
1t contains material percentages OF
weed seeds, foreign grains and dust,
and the addition to oats Of such a
product is held to be a violation o.
the food and drugs act. The addi-
tion Of water to oats arises from the
fact that the grain is sold by weight.
investigations Of the department OF
agriculture have revealed the fact
that water is sometimes added in the
amount OF from two to four per cent.
In the opinion o fthe government
officials there is. no reason why eth
|er of these practices should be toll
Grated. Grain shippers and dealers,
therefore, are being warned that the
prevalence Of the custom in the past
viii not affect the legal proceedings
against future Fhipmentse found to be
.adulterated in this way. z
