Soy Beans a Human Food.

Soy bean -four may be used much
the same way as cornmeal. Although
this crop has been grown in America
for quarter of a century, says the
Farm and Home, it has been used
only for a stock feed, while in China
and Japan it has been used for hui
man food for many centuries
Practically the only use made of
soy bean -four so far in this country is
in certain types of illness where it is
desirable to limit the amount of starch
fed the patient. Flour made from ripe
soy beans. although rich in protein and
oil, contains little or no starch. This
mixed with wheat -four, therefore in
creases the protein content and low
ers the starch content, while the bread
is very similar in appearance to ordi-
nary wheat bread. When more than
% per cent soy bean -four is used the
character of the bread or cakes is ma
terially altered

There is only one way to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an inf1amed con-

famed you have rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing, and when it is en-
tirely closed deafness is the result, and
unless the inflammation can be taken out
and this tube restored to its normal con-
dition, hearing will be destroyed forever,

TRUE iNWARDNESS OF THE
VERA CRUZ INCIDENT.

In the spring, of 1914, occur
red the capture of Vera Cruz.
Men from one of our ships had
been arrested at Tampico and
had been discharged with an
apology. But our admiral de-
manded a salute, which was re-
fused. Thereupon the president
went to congress, asking au-
thority to use the armed forces
of the United States. Without
waiting for the passage of the
resolution, Vera Cruz was seiz-
ed. 1t appeared that shipload
of ammunition for Huerta was
about to enter that port. There
was a natural opposition to this
invasion and a battle occurred
in which nineteen Americans and
over a hundred MeXicans were
killed. This, of course, was war.
Our dead soldiers were praised
for dying like heroes in a war of
service. Later, we retired from
Vera Cruz, giving up this noble
warfare. We had not obtained
the salute which was demanded.
We had not obtained reparation
for affronts. The ship with am
munition which could not land
at Vera Cruz had soon landed at
another port. and its cargo was
delivered to Huerta without in
reference. Recently the naked
truth was admitted by cabinet
officer. We are now informed
that 1--WE did not go to Vera Cruz
to force Huerta to salute the
flag" We are told that we went
there "to show Mexico that we
were in earnest in our demand
that Huerta must CO." That is,
we seized Vera Cruz to depOse
Huerta. The question of the
salute was a mere preteXt.-

Representatives of the Madison Good

Milwaukee. The mark is band of

which, we understand, they will letter

roads from here to Madison are decid-
eddy poor for the greater part of the
way. One thing is sure, they will find
good roads through Jefferson county.
