Elephant stealing in Siam has al

years ago by the British and Siamese

Milk From Sow Beans.

Milk made by the Chinese from the
small yellow beans from which bean
curd and soy are also made is shown
by analysis to have a specific gravity
of 1920 and a fat content of 3.125
contrasted with a specific gravity of
1929 and fat content of 3.9 for good
average cows milk, and to the eye
looks exactly like unskimmed cows
milk Tho it has an odor of raw
beans, it is said to be not unpleasant
to the taste. A factory for the manu-
facture of this product on a CONNER
cial scale is now operating at Chang
sha. The process is simple. The
beans are soaked and then crushed
between two stones. The crushed
mass is allowed to run off into a tub
and is then strained thru cheesecloth
and diluted with water and boiled.
After boiling, it is again strained and
the white milk run off into bottles
and sold to the factorys customers.
The operation takes place during the
night, the milk being ready for the
consumer in the morning.-The Argo-

Put it vice versa, and if laughter
is latter, why is rot daughter dafter

shouldn't enough be enawf?
Plough is pronounced pillow and

made today noon by F. L. Pinet. sec
rotary of the State Teachers associa-

ing of the Topeka Rotary club at Pei

1000.
Right now, more than a week be-
fore the meeting, $500 teachers have
enrolled at his office, while last year
on the day before the convention
opened the total enrolment was only
1900. Mr.. Pinet urged that the To-
peka Rotary club join the association.
This is possible now as result or the
arrangement of parallel entertain
ments. possible because of the gener-
osity of the Topeka Commercial club
in supplying $4,000 for bringing
speakers and other attractions to To-
pelSa for the big convention.

1ege could enroll 1900 students in
the next few years.
Mr.. Wilson urged the cooperation
of the Rotary club with the Topeka
Commercial club. Cities are made by
the men in them, he declared, not be-
cause of their raw resources
rFor what other reason" asked Mr.
Wilson, sis Detroit an automobile CEN
ter when the raw materials needed
come from Pittsburg and Birming-
ham ?" He told of other cities which
have become wealthy and famous for
no other reason than the genius of
one man backed by the cooperation
of the business men of the cities.
