Once upon time not so far from
Wilmington, a man came to q sheet
OF water a mile wide. but it looked
so ugly that lie made up his mind
that he was up against 1t. He was
about to turn back, but another male
of the species came up on his way to
the other side. He declared he was
bound to cross and that he had no
time to lose, so he waded in and the
other fellow followed. The water
was not knee deep anywhere and soon
both individuals stepped out on the
other side. The party Of the first
part pulled off his hat. tapped his
coco with his kunckles and exclaim-
ed: "You blamed old nut you caused
me to lose half day because you did
not know enough to advance the
idea that a man should wade in and
try before he backs out."-Wilming-

Chl0rin. .Bl(acl,ed Flour.

Since the bleaching Of flour with
the oxids Of nitrogen has been for
hidden In the United States under
the food and drugs act. there are
signs Of the introduction Of other pro-
cesses intended to produce similar
changes I'm the wheat product. 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 -four. without commenting at
this time on the legal aspects Of the
matter. we may fairly ask whether
the new process confers any a.dvan-
tages on the cereal which will rem
der 1t superior to the ordinary un-
bleached patent flour. Mere appear
ance need not be taken into consider
alton here. Experiments conducted
In connection with the pure food work
at the Kansas State Agricultural Col
lege in Manhattan have. shown that
althcugh the chlorin content OF un-
treated -four may run as high as 57s
parts Per million, chlorin-treated
fionr will contain over 900 parts per
million. Chlorin-treatment increases
the acidity Of the -four. The gluten
tests run practically alike for the
oleached and unbleached -four. The
baking experts report that Their. are
no differences in loaf volume; but the
bleached flour gives loaf having an
Objectionable color and texture. In
nearly every case the bread made
from unbleached -four graded better.
According to The Journal OF the
American Medical Association, the
chlorin-bleaching cannot be defend
eel on the ground that bread-malxing
qualities Of the -four are improved.

Care for Farm Implements.

1t is to be hoped that no farmer
has put away his implements this
winter without having cleaned and
oiled them thoroughly and that they
are now we'll housed. The farm ma
chinery man at Clemson College
states that a cOnsidera ole portion OF
the profits Of the American farmer
Is eaten up by neglect Of farm ma
chnery. When going over a piece
of machinery, note if any parts are
missing, mark down the names or
these parts on tags and attach the
tags to the places on The machine
from which the parts are missing.
This will often prove very helpful.

Y. S. Public Health Service Report on
tuberculosis Treatment.

In response to a resolution of the
United States senate. the public health
service has investigated the Won Ruck
treatment for tuberculosis. The re-
port of these Investigations has just
been made public as senate document
Gal. This follows close on the report
from the same service on the Fried.
man treatment, and, as in the latter,
the verdict is that Won Ruck's claims
have not been substantiated.
On account of the evident practical
difficulties in carrying out the studies
on human beings. the investigation
was largely confined to the attempt to
confirm or disprove by animal expert
mentation the reliability and success
of Won Rucks methods and practices
In the production Of immunity to tu-
berculosis. The studies were begun
in Asheville at DR.. Won Ruck's lab
oratory, but were later transferred to
the Hygienic Laboratory in WASH
ington, the reason given being that
Dr. Won Ruck would not concede the
right of the governments representa-
tives to conduct an independent and
uncontrolled investigation, and sum-
marily interrupted the investigation in
Asheville. 1t would seem from the
report that the Won Rucks did not
have sufficient confidence in their
methods to be willing to be investi-
gated unless they had supervision and
control over the investigation, truly a
remarkable stand for a scientist to
take.
One of the most striking portions of
the report is that which discusses the
attempts made in Won Rucks labora-
tory by some one interested in the
outcome of the experiments to alter
the entries in the laboratory record
book in regard to the use Of controls
in certain serum tests. Such an oc-
currence. as the report states, "had
the effect of removing the entire test
from consideration as a scientific pro-
ceeding," and causes The Journal OF
the American. Medical Association to
indulge in speculation as to whether
the investigation was not desired for
reasons other than purely scientific
ones.

Says True Love Comes Often.

In the February womans Homo
Companion Evelyn Gill Klahr writes
a story entitled Love Everlasting"
The story is about husband and wife
who have quarreled and parted and it
contains many theories and sentiments
about the stability Of love. A friend
OF the wife, a rather cynical woman,
comments on love as follows:
Take all the things you were abb
solutely sure Of in connection with
love. all that one-man-in.the-world
business, for instance. It's sheer rub
bish. There are dozens and dozens
that each individual woman could love
Just dozens! Why. I've been in love
with several myself. only each time
there was a new one I persuaded nv.
self that the others weren't real! But
they were. They were real enough.
And yet in the face Of my own exper-
ience. and my fathers too, for 1 had
seen how he had adored both my own
mother and my stepmother-in the
face of 1t all, I kept on believing that
one-man-i n-in-the-world business. Oh.
for ages I believed it. And another
thing: Every young fool in love is
absolutely certain that the rapture is
permanent. that they are always 60
ing to thrill and shiver at the sight
of the loved ones eyes or voice or
penmanship. Isn't it silly? Because
1t can't last. 1t may turn to calm af-
fection or indifference or even hate,
but that rapturous glamour simply
cannot endure"

Shortage of 10000 Tons OF Food Must

New York, Jan. 27.-A shortage of
$4,000 tons Of food for relief Of Bel
gian refugees must be made up with
in the next three months by the COM
mission for relief in Belgium or many
persons will perish. Vice Chairman
Charles w. Bates announced today.
The commission today received this
by cablegram from London:
"The committees actual shortage
in the department for feeding desti-
tute Belgians $1,000 tons for Februa-
ry, $4,000 tons for March and 30,-
600 tons for April. The enforced
transfer Of food from the department
for provisioning those who can still
pay something for rations during these
months is bound to eat into its pro,
visioning capital.
There now are 100000 destitute,
and the actual cost Of supplying and
administering the canteens for the
destitute now is $2,000,00O Der
month. The number Of destitute daily
increases"

REFUGEES IN HOLLAND.
Many Towns Springing up Through
Settlement OF BeIgians.

Amsterdam, Jan. 27.-An over
Southern Holland new towns are aris-
ing. They are the homes Of the clus-
ters Of Belgian refugees. The largest
Of these places boasts a population of
$4,000, while another has 10000.
l have recently taken a trip to this
refugee village of 1900 men, wo-
men and children, and many odd
sides of life are to be found there.
The new Belgian town is near
Harderwijk, in Gelderland. 1t is
built on the wind swept, heather
grown. moorland. Every building is
Of wood and the whole is enclosed by
a city wall of good strong barbed
wire-to make the job Of policing it
easier.
The wooden buildings, which have
been constructed by the hospitable
Dutch government, are little better
than sheds. but they have double walls
covered with kind of rainproof as
bestos and are stout and serviceable.
Two hundred and fifty persons lodge
in each apartment house." there be-
ing a room to each five residents.
Huge stoves give good heat and keep
them warm and cosy.
The town, for better policing, is di-
vided further by barbed wire into
three parts. Hussars guard the lines
of wire inside and out. Not all the
fugitives are properly appreciative Of
what is done for them and disorders
make it necessary from time to time
to shut up a culprit in one of the two
prison sheds-"Caledonia" for the
men, or "The Congo" for the women.
These stand in the middle of the
town and have an especially formid-
able wall of barbed wire all their own.
There are several dining rooms each
capable of seating 1000. Here the in
habitants without regard to previous
condition Of poverty or affluence eat
| seated on benches, pulled up to the
long tables. In the kitchen sheds
nearly ten large stoves cook, cook,
cook, all day, for it takes a lot to
feed $4,000.
To guard against fire in this wood
town, no cooking or smoking Is al
lowed in the other buildings. The one
luxury is electric light which is
plentifully supplied everywhere.
Other buildings include a school, a
church, an assembly hall and a post
office. In a little store the few refu-
gees who have brought money with
them and still have some left can
make their frugal purchases.
Many Of the inhabitants of this
town were at first lodged in the quar-
ters Of Dutch soldiers at Oldebroek,
which the latter vacated to house the
thousands which came limping over
the border from smoking Belgium.
The first refugee camps, it is found,
must be vacated for sanitary reasons,
especially those in iceland, Emburg
and North Brabant.
The Dutch government appoints a
burgomaster for each Of the refugee
towns. although there is a measure of
home rule" Below the Burgomaster
are the parish priests, each at the
head of the flock which he shepherd
ed from their sacked homes. The
priests constitute kind of town coun.
