No Cure for Grlppe,

There is no use worrying about the
weather, about the war, about unpleas-
ant neighbors, about pressing necessi-
ties and about everything, but one.
Go out and get the grippe. When you
get that all your other troubles will
be trivial The doctors tell of many
ways to prevent the grippe, but not
one has discovered a cure. Put sui
phur in your shoes, advises one ply
sician, as a preventive. Another says
tie some asafetida around your neck;
that will keep the grippe germs away
and your friends also. A third sug-
gests eating saltine crackers and 60
ing to bed, while another says soap
is a hereditary enemy of la grippe.
Lather yourself with it and then go to
bed. A Brooklyn physician advises
grippe patients to waltz into some hos
pital and have that sinister thyroid
gland cut away from its lair. Then
you will be immune Don't smoke,
don't drink, don't indulge in kissing,
and above all taboo eating as much
as possible says the health depart
ment, then you escape the ka-choo,
The foregoing are only a few ways
to prevent grippe II you carefully
follow all these instructions what is
left Of you will not have the grippe.

LEAVENED BREAD A MENACE
italian Hygenlst Recommends the
Substitution Of Whole Wheat With
Minimum Amount Of Yeast.

Leavened bread has been declared
u menace to health as well as ma
tional economic loss by Prof. A, Ro'
mano, a distinguished Italian hygien'
list Professor Romano's statement
came as a result OF the study Of Italian
scientists and medical men OF the
bread and wheat situation to forestall
the threatened shortage OF wheat and
consequently bread. The professor
urges In substitution OF the leavened
bread a bread made from whole wheat
and, at the most, from the minimum
OF yeast.
The Italian expert de, fares that the
process of leavening makes bread too
soft and renders II liable 10 be bad.
ly masticated and imperfectly mixed
with saliva, especially when taken in
milk or soup or dipped into various
liquids according 20 prevailing Italian
custom, when it is apt to be rapidly
swallowed. The digestion Of bread
under these conditions is more or less
imperfect. even though it does not
necessarily reach the point of causing
dyspeptic symptoms. and IL is assim-
Hated in less proportion to what It
would be IN normal circumstances.
Moreover, the added yeast preserves
part of its activity even after baking
and continues to ferment in the stom-
ach, giving rise to the production Of
acetic and Tactic acids, among other
substances, which are harmful to those
subject to an irritable state Of the
mucous membrane Professor Ro-
mano insists, therefore, that the use Of
white leavened bread is a serious error
in alimentary hygiene, while it also
constitutes an enormous loss in do
nestle and national economy. He ad-
vises that bread should not only be
made with whole wheat, but that 1t
should not be subjected to the process
of leavening.
Lest it should be thought impossi-
BILE to manufacture = wholemeal bread
without leavening which would salts
fly the taste, he mentions that such
bread has been for some time on the
market abroad, and in regard to flavor
has met with entire appreciation.

FOLK SONG AS OLD AS MAN
University Professor Has Told of Its
Compelling Influence on Abso-
Lutte Music.

Ever since human beings began to
use musical sounds to express feel
! ings, some sort Of folk song has un-
| doubtedly existed, writes Prof. Fred
erick Holmberg of the University of
| oklahoma, according to the Spring
! field (Mass) Republican, but most Of
the folk songs as we know them to-
day are Of fairly recent origin, having
been written not more than five or six
centuries ago. Folk songs and dances
are both father and mother Of modern
music It was a great struggle when
the early Christian musical scientists,
with their technical perversions, had
to give up using music as a handmade
to their poetry and their ritual church
service, and to accept the living HUI
man folk song as a basis for the music
of their churches. 1t was a great
musical discovery when gifted com
posers found that folk songs of diff
ferent characteristics could be welded
into one composition giving the need
ed contrasts and still retain their
unity.
When this was done we were given
some of the essential forms Of musical
composition and were fairly on the
way toward creating a new art, name
ly, absolute music" such as is found
in the works of Bach, Haydn, Mozart
and Beethoven. The folk song caused
a musical revolution and the end of
this revolution is not in sight. Our
best composers are striving at all
times to idealize the folk songs and
dances of some great nation, and the
material is still abundant.
Naturally question one may ask
regarding this interesting subject is,
What is the folk song? How did 1t
originate" We know the names Of
very few composers of folk songs;
most OF the songs have come into be-
ing suddenly, without premeditation,
dictated by the feelings of some in
divldual living under certain social
conditions One thing alone is sure
the folk song is not a premeditated
composition by some skillful profes-
sional composer.

Some remarkable facts about the
metal required to fill the orders for
shrapnel and other shells that Europe
has placed in the United States were
given recently by the Mining and En-.

shrapnel shell requires pounds 15A
ounces Of steel, and pounds 9b
ounces of brass that contains from &C
to 70 per cent of copper, or about 81
pounds; and round the shell is a small
copper band that weighs Az ounces.
A shell of that size requires 1877
pounds of spelter. Its contents con.
sist of 1872 pounds of bullets, com

part of antimony. Now, Europe has
