Gen. Funston did not state whether
some of the troops at Columbus had been
sent across the border OF whether others
had been brought from nearby stations
| Two messages came to the state depart

Villa. The department officials believe
that from THEN information it was def

which have been sent across the border.

Mexican troops had left Columbus two
days ago, hut no word of the movement

One Dead 5000 Homeless
in Fire Started by Boy
BY Associated Press

Nashville, Tenn, March 23.--Citi-
zens, civic and church organizations
of Nashville to-day were caring for
5000 persons made homeless by the
fire that swept East Nashville late
yesterday, destroying 600 residences,
causing one death and a property loss
of $500, 900.
National Guardsmen, called out by
Governor Rye, patrolled the burned
area to protect property and prevent
looting.
The one fatality was that of a negro.
Many other persons were injured but
none seriously.
The blaze started from a lighted
ball of yarn thrown into a grassy
vacant lot by a boy. A planning mill
first was destroyed. The flames quick
ly spread to an extensive negro settle
ment, where, famed by a high wind,
every house was consumed. The con-
flagration then broke into two distinct
blazes, one flowing east in seventh
street and the other down Fifth ave-
nue.. An area of thirty blocks was
swept clean which included many of
the costliest residences of Nashville,
several churches and one charitable
institution. After paralleling each
other in separate streets for many
blocks the two fires again joined
The flames We're finally brought un-
der control when the wind subslded
and the fire had partially burned itself
out.
Relief measures were under way be-
fore the fire had been eXtinguished.
A fund was started by voluntary do
nations and several thousand dollars
was raised. Residences were thrown
open to the homeless, commercial
organizations remained open all night
and churches turned their auditoriums
into sleeping quarters. The State pro-
Nided 500 tents and blankets.

TAXIMETER GIVES CUSTOMER
PRINTED FARE RECEIPT

Arguments between cab drivers and
their customers over fares charged
are to be done away with by using n
contrivance recently devised and now
being tried out in an eastern city. Its
special feature is that a printed slip
is automatically delivered to the custo-
mer at the end of trip. The device
and its operation are described in the
Popular Mechanics Magazine. On the
slip is given the straight fare, any
extras that may be due, the meter
number. and the date. A duplicate
record is kept inside the machine for
the company's benefit. This latter is
even more compete than the former,
and gives among other things the dis
t;.nce in miles Travelled while the taxi
cab was hired; total distance covered
by the cab whether hired or not; non
revenue-earning time in minutes, such
as time lost in repairing tires, etc. and
the total fares in dollars and cents
that have been collected by the driver,
as we'll as each individual bill.

per cent. protein; bran contains ap-
proXimately II per cent. protein.
Flour contains / per cent. fat; bran
contains per cent. fat.
The lecithins or phosphorized fats
indispensable to normal nutrition are
found in bran as we'll as in the germ
of the meat. In the milling of pat
ent flour the lecithins are discarded.
Patent flour contains less than u of
l per cent of mineral salts; bran
contains ten times this quantity.
Of Phosphorus alone bran contains
twelve times as much as patent flour.
This does not mean that bran is a
substitute for whole meal. Bran lacks
a number of the elements that are
found in the cells of the thin outer
skin of the wheat.
Bran, as already suggested, is mere
ly part of the wheat, and its i'm
portance must not be emphasized at
the expense of the other parts.
1t is the grain of wheat taken as
whole. with bran and germ includ-
ed. nothing added and nothing re-
moved that is ground into honest
whole wheat meal Such meal is rich
to animal life, and contains Just that
quantity of bran necessary to make
constipation impossible.
Where constipation is avoided the
absorption of the irritating and pois-
onous end-products or toXines of in
testinal putrefaction is rendered quite
impossible. Thus one OF the suspected
causes of cancer is also avoided
The idea that bran or any other
food adjunct added to the diet of man
will cure cancer is not advanced here
Such an idea is abhorrent to common
sense. Foolish indeed would be the
cancer victim who resorted to bran
as a cancer cure when expert surgical
aid is what he most needs.
Proof is not lacking to indicate
that the food elements, so ruthlessly
discarded by the common people in
their preference for refined and de-
mineraiZed breadstuffs, are factors of
such serious significance in the pre-
vention of many diseases that they
can no longer be ignored by the
scientific world.

CHAPTER "a


The grain of wheat ground into
whole meal, nothing added, nothing
removed, is rich in all the indispensa-
BILE food minerals in their highly or
Ganized forms so essential to healthy
animal life.
The folly of comparing the "di-
cestibility" OF first patent flour with
the "indigestibility" of bran stands
forth self-revealed through the very
nature of the arguments employed by
the millers.
They say, as we have seen. that
patent flour or white bread made from
patent flour is more digestible" than
bran because it is more completely
absorbed" than bran.
Let us examine these statements.
Complete absorption means constipa-
ton. Deficiency of mineral salts
means constipation. Absence of cell
lulose or zber means constipation.
Bran takes up moisture and holds
it in the intestines, thereby making
the intestinal mass more elastic. Bran
stimulates peristalis, thereby increas-
ing the rhythmic waves of contraction
and relaxation so necessary to the pro-
cess of elimination.
Bran surrenders to the body the
soluble eXtractives, salts, and colloids
colloids, which are physiologically
active, are absorbed. AS we have al
ready seen and shall still further see,
these physiologically active sub
stances assist in the absorption of
other necessary food elements.
Let us examine into this phrase
complete absorption" in order to see
what it actually means when en-
ployed by the complete absorptionists
who so highly indorse the use of white
or first patent -four and so bitterly
oppose the use Of bran in human food.
Bran is, of course but one of the
discarded particles of the wheat ber-
ry, and its Importance must not be
over emphasized at the expense of the
other discarded elements
In referring to bran here it is to
he considered not as food in itself
but merely as a natural part of such
foods as wheat, corn and rice.
Flour contains approximately Il

PHONOGRAPH
INCREASES SOUND VOLUME

Playing two or more monographs
at a time as a means for increasing
sound volume has often been. tried,
but generally with poor success. Only
slight difference in the speeds or
timing of the two disks results in
throwing the melody into a jarring
discord, for one record soon plays far
ahead of the other.
To obviate these difficulties. and
still secure the larger volume of sound
resulting from the use of two or more
records at the same time, a Paris in
ventor has devised a phonograph of
a type different from the ordinary
kind. All the records are attached to
one vertical driving axis, and because
of this mechanical connection, must
necessarily remain in unison through
out the playing of any given piece.
Each disk is provided with its own
needle and reproducer. All the sound
goes into a common horn by means
of suitable connecting arms properly
pivoted at the large ends. a picture
OF the machine appears in the Popu-
lar Mechanics Magazine.

and serviceable designs have been
constructed for the parks of Hartford,
Conn. Among those most used are
benches for band concerts. AS these
musical programsare given in one park
and then another it was desirable to
have seats that can be easily trans
ported from place to place. After
much experimenting, a design was
adopted which included two rear
wardly extending legs. These benches
do not tip over easily and can be
loaded compactly, it being possible to
carry seats for 1000 or 1900 persons
on a single wagon. Several other
styles of benches were developed to
meet particular conditions. All are
shown in some interesting illustrations
appearing in the Popular Mechanics
Magazine.
