FIVE CAR LOADS OF POISONED
BEANS ON MARKET
It Is Believed That the Beans Were
Imported From India BY German
Sympathizers. II. c. Wallace, Of
WaIIace's Farmer, Make Dis
Discovery and Warns the
Public How Beans May
Be Detected

The Onawa Democrat. published at
Onawa, Monona county, Iowa, con
tains the following startling informa-
ton:
"Five car loads of poinson beans
have been imported from India for
the purpose of putting them on the
food market in this country accord
ing to general warning which
reached Des Moines Saturday
"The danger is enhanced by the
fact that the poison beans, CONNER
cially resembles the common navy
bean that it takes an expert to de
tect the difference.
II. c. Wallace, of Wallace's Farm
er, gave out the warning locally to
day when he received a sample OF
some of the poison beans which were
found in grocery store in Brookings
S. ID.
"The startling discovery in Brook
ings was made by Prof. N f. Hansen
fod expert with the University OF
South Dakota
Professor Hansen Immediately no
titled the authorities at Washington
and it was found that at least five cal
loads of the Burma beans have beer
shipped into this country from India
by way of China.
German sympathizers are believed
to be responsible for the importation
as beans are used extensively in army
rations.
"A few of the poison beans mixed
with common beans would be hard to
detect, and would probably result in
the death of those who might eat
them according to information sent
to Mr.. Wallace by Professor Hansen.
Burma beans contain Prussic ac-
id, deadly poison. Before the war
they were imported to France for
commercial use, but when the war
started authorities in France placed a
ban on their importation on account
o fthe danger.
"Mr. Wallace said today that the
Burma bean is practically unknown
to food dealers in this country, al
though merchants in Europe have
been schooled to watch for them.
"The poison bean is slightly darker
than the common navy bean, but this
test will not work out at the present
time, because he beans raised last
year were darker than usual
"There is another test, however,
which is more certain. Burma beans,
while about the same size and shape
as navy beans, have cross veins on
the surface, which resemble the small
surface lines on lima beans
80 far as was known yesterday,
none of the beans have reached Des.
Moines.
You cannot make the warning too
strong" Wallace said. Every one
should watch closely for these beans,
and should make an immediate report
10 the federal authorities if they dis
cover any"

WIRING A TWELVE INCH GUN

According to the Milleate Monthly
no fewer than IL miles Of steel wire
are wound on twelve inch gun that
weighs thirteen and a half tons In
appearance this wire, which is of
the same quality as piano wire. re-
,scmbles tape. 1t is quarter of an
inch wide and tenth of an inch
thick. It is tested to breaking
strength of 10 tons. The wire un-
winds from reel as the gun barrel
e,ovles. and a tension Of about fifty
tons to the square innh insures me-
cnanical accuracy in wrapping it
round the gun.
Various parts Of the gun receive
different thicknesses of wire. At the
breech Of twelve inch gun, where
the chief strain comes, there are
ninety-two layers, which give a
thickness Of nine and a half inches Of
wire. but at the muzzle there are
only fourteen layers. Over the wire
the wire the gunmakers shrinn steel
rings at white heat. When they cool
they contract and grip with immense
force The rifiing of the barrell is
an automatic process, an example of
wonderful mechanical ingenuity
When the gun is finished experts test
the accuracy Of the rifiing with plas-
tic guttapercha.

EImWood Gardens. Put a.e.
On the Market Saturday

Elmwood Gardens will be on the
market tomorrow and statesmen will
be on the ground to sell choice lots
to the first corners. r. 49,.
Elmwood Gardens is an attractive
addition lying just west of Efmwood
park. Payne & Slater are offering Il.
The company has put in considerable
money and has built already fourteen
handsome little houses which will be
offered for sale as we'll as the vacant
lots.
Most of these houses, are OF the
four and five-room type, but all have
full Easements, porches and handsome
interior finish. ...'.t..
The tract comprises about 40 acres
of the old Doll homestead. Payne &
Slater have cut this into 2l5 lots.
The ground is gently sloping west
ward from the west limits Of Elm
wood park. Thus it is possible for the
prospective buyer to select his lot on
as high ground as he likes it. OF
course the lots on the higher ground
will bring the highest prices. Some
of these facing east. overlooking Elm
wood park, are particularly attractive
to those who wish to be assured that
their front view will never be- shut
off and that they will always have
great valley of timber stretching away
in front and beneath them.
. The entire tract lies between Sixty
seventh street and Sixth-ninth avenue
and between Pacific and Leavenworth
streets. ,,t tsss, f. ID . - ~

Dandrun Surely,
. Destroys The Hair

Girls-if you want plenty of thick,
beautiful, glossy, silky hair, do by
all means get rid Of dandruff, for
it will starve your hair and ruin it
if you don't. -
It doesn't do much good to try to
brush or wash it out. The only sure
way to get rid of dandruff is to dis
solve it, then you destroy it entirely.
To do this, get about four ounceAof
ordinary liquid arvon; apply it at
night when retiring; use enough to
moisten the scalp and rub it in gently
with the finger tips.
By morning, most, II not all, of
your dandruff will be gone, and three
or four more applications will COM
pletely dissolve and entirely destroy
every single sign and trace Of it.
You will find, too, that all itching
and digging of the scalpswill stop,
and your hair will look and feel a
hundred times better. You can get
liquid arvon at any drug, store. It is
inexpensive and four ounces is all
you will need, Iho matter how much
dandruff you have. This simple rem
edy never fails.-Advertisement.
