Conserving Wheat Flour.

A prominent New York hotel has
recently added to its menu bread
containing rye flour and whole wheat
flour in addition to white flour. Anoth-
er method of saving wheat flour which
is being well received, is to use one
part of cottonseed meal to four, five
or six parts of wheat flour. A United
States senator not long ago served
bread made from these ingredients TO
several of his colleagues in Washington,
and they seemed much pleased with
Ii. Government chemists have demon
strated that flour can also be made
from peanuts, dried peas, sweet pota-
toes, etc. and that such flour can be
mixed with wheat flour to make excel
lent bread.-Popular Mechanics Mag

$50 Coal.

Probably record price for coal
was recently paid by the captain of an
American cargo steamship returning
from Genoa to New York after deliv-
ering war cargo at the Italian port.
At Genoa the Yankee skipper was COM
PEELED TO pay 800 a ton for coal enough
to carry him to Fayal, in the Azores.
At the island port he was abLS to
purchase coal at the comparatively rea-
sonable rate of $50 a ton. and got 500
tons, enough to bring him to New York.
The extremely high price of coal now
adays is somewhat of an offset TO the
big profits to be made in war freights.

eiared that ''aii men are created

the other hand II can be asserted, and
not without justification. that there
are only certain limits 20 which a
man can go n stu be within his
rights to pursue liberty and happiness.
The proposed action of the Arizona
operators should not be construed a.
