THE SENSE OF SHAME.-The
sense of shame is so highly develop
ed among so many of our best peo-
pie that it is a wonder to me that
they don't die of palpitatiOn of the
heart at the things they see.
A pretty ankle, a shapely limb,
white throat; my how terrible!
These old scholars are betraying
the white race with their nonsense.
The more we harp on the sense OF
shame the more women are affected.
This very propaganda has resulted IN
mothers refusing to nurse babies at
the breast in public, but instead on
milk in a bottle from tuberculosis
COW. This propaganda of shame has
resulted in our most healthy women
running their health to hide and di-
minish their breasts with cOrsets,
tight Iacings, etc.
Why be ashamed Of the healthy
body? The more professional re-
formers agitate shame the more
women DEFY nature and try to de-
stroy the healthy udders of their sex.
This is crime against babyhood,
themselves and the race. BOttle-fed
babies are not nature fed and there
fore not so strong.
This is not all our shame experts
are doing to ruin the race. They
cause newly-married couples to do
everything possible to prevent the
Eirth of a child the first year they
are married. The reason is they
don't want people to think they were
forced to marry to protect their
names. So again, shame people,
cause ruination Of health. Why these
people are so shocked at the human
body I can't understand. People will
refuse to swear, but they will turn
around and bIaspheme the healthy
body with filthy clothes and hide per
feet organs of the body.
They act as though creation had

where they get their authority for

BERLIN HAS GREAT
DRY VEGET TABLES
ESTABLISHMENT

Berlin, Dec. 21.-BerIin's establish
ment for drying vegetables. which
went into operation in July, is already
drying some forty tons of vegetables
daily. and an enlargement of the
plant now building will almost double
its capacity. 1t is operated in con-
nection with one of the great gas
plants of the city. where it obtains an
abundance Of cheap fuel. using al
together the waste from the gas re-
torts and coal cars.
The drying house serves as a safety
valve for the Berlin market 1t often

tables come upon the wholesome mar

cars loaded with vegetables are
switched off and carried to the dry

this reason that the latter will, as is
now believed. be kept up permanently
las regulator of the vegetable trade
even after the war;
The vegetables dried are chiefly
cabbage. but also spinach, carrots,
turnips. kale. potatoes and some
others are included. When a cores
pondent of the Associated Press visit
ed the drying house he found some 20
women occupied in trimming cabbage
heads, washing, cutting, drying and
bagging them. Special machinery does
much of the work. The washing, for
example. is done in shallow tanks.

forced in many jets and under great
pressure; this causes a violent boiling
movement which Thoroughly cleanses
the vegetables within a few seconds
Before the cabbages are thrown into
the slicing machines girls holds each
head under another machine that
neatly bores out the stem The sliced
cabbage is then parboiled for about
one minute, and then goes to the dry
ing kilns These are large iron fur
naces about eight feet high; they hold
about ten frames of vegetables at once.
The frames. about twelve by eight
feet, have a bottom of wire netting
upon which the cabbage mass is thin
~ spread. The drying process takes
two hours. The dried product is then
put into bags and piled away in the
storeroom.
At present the dried vegetables are
used only for feeding the inmates of
the various charitable institutions. 1t
is expected, however. that much of
the product will be sold in the markets
toward the end of the winter. when
the general supply of vegetables grows
scarcer.

AME R|CANS BUILD
RAILROAD IN CHINA

Picking, Dec. 21-Work will begin
at once upon the railway which the
American International Corporation is
to finance in Human and Wkangsi
provinces. Through an agreement be-
tween the Chinese government and
the American contractors a route orig
inally agreed upon for this line is to
be somewhat modified. The railway
will start from Chuchow in Human
province. Chuchow is the southern
terminus of railway which now ex-
tends south from Chang Sha, the cap
ital of Human province. The line to
be built by Americans will extend
south, through Hengchowfu, and from
that point will run southwest to Kwei-
lin, then southwest to Manning on the
West river. A spur of the railroad
will extend to Yanchow, in Kwang
tung province, a port of considerable
commercial Importance on the Gulf of
Tongking.
The extension of this railway to the
sea makes it of far greater Importance
than the original line which was to
have Manning as it's terminus.
At Chuchow the railway will connect
with an important line the English
have partially constructed towards
the east. which will eventually be ex-
tended to Marking. The British line
taps a very rich mineral section, and
the line which the Americans are to
build runs through territory in Human
province which is heavily mineralized.
In Kwangsi province the new line will
traverse very rich agricultural coun-

nine days as a prisoner with Villas
