WE PAY FOR SIZE OF
LOAF, NOT BREADS
FOOD VALUE

TIE price we pay for -four is not
determined by its food value but by
its power to make a nice appearing,
large loaf of bread, according to Miss
Louise Stanley of the department of
home economics of the University of
Missouri. The high cost of living
could be reduced by demanding more
of the -four with all Of the nutritive
value left in.
Under the modern system of mill
ing, approximately 70 per cent of the
wheat is made into flour and 20 per
cent is sold as cattle food. Ground
as graham flour, rejecting none of it,
100 pounds of -four would be given
for 100 pounds of grain. In discard
ing the bran almost one-half of the
natural fat of the grain and more than
three fourths of the mineral matter Of
the -four is lost.
Compared on the basis of pound
for pound there is more energy in the
graham than in the wheat flour. The
flour is digested and utilized suffi-
GENTLY well to give more energy and
food value than corresponding
amount of white flour. In its failure
of complete absorption lies large
part of the value of graham flour. 1t
is one of the best correctives for con-
stipation. This value of graham
bread was recognized by the ancients.
Hippocrates, the father of medicine,
commended the flour from unbolted
wheat meal
The name graham was derived from
the advocacy of the use of unbolted
flour by DR.. Sylvester Graham in 1889.
True graham -four is made by grind
ing the whole grain without boiling.
Much of that on the market is made
by blending -four with shorts and bran.
Properly ground, this flour should give
US cheaper, better-favored bread.
Graham flour is now quoted at the
same price as white flour but more
steady demand for graham would
change this.
If children ate more Of this bread
and less of the highly refined white
bread, they would be less likely to
have defective teeth and be under
nourished.

We had a rousing meeting of the
st. Francois County Farm Bureau last
Saturday afternoon in the Farm Blu
reau offices at Pennington. 1t was
said by some of the old members
present that it was the most enthusi-
astic meeting the Bureau had ever
had. That sounds mighty good right
at the beginning, doesn't? Thirty
two men were present and everyone
joined the Farm Bureau and paid their
fee for one year in advance.
Mr.. W. H. Smollinger, president of
the Bureau, placed his resignation be-
fore the meeting. The Bureau re-
ceived this news with much regret, as
Mr.. Smollinger has always been a
faithful president and has never miss
ed meeting since the Bureau was or
ganized. Mr.. Smollinger plans to be
away from the county the greater
part of the time during the next year
or two. That is why he is resigning.
Plans were made for the annual
meeting of the Farm Bureau which
will be held Saturday, March 3, 1917.
This will be the biggest meeting of
the year, and it is hoped that farmers
will be present from every corner of
the county. Everyone is urged to be
in Pennington and attend this meet
ing. The Farm Bureau officers will
be elected at that meeting for the
coming year and the work for the year
will be generally outlined. We expect
to have with us at that meeting Mr.
P. H. Ross, who is State leader of the
County Agent work. Men, don't for
get this date-Saturday, March 3rd,
and by all means attend. We are ar
ranging a good program.

respond to this call and notify me of

These calls from out of the county
are gentle reminders of what others
think of us here in st. Francois coun-
ty. They seem to have a pretty good
opinion of our products. They are al
so gentle reminders of our POSSIBLE

Bureau we hope to be able to find a

For a Bilious ATTACK.

Z When you have a severe headache,
accompanied by coated tongue,

FUMIGATION PROTECTS BEANS
AND PEAS FROM WEEVILS

Farmers frequently complain that
bean seed stored apparently in good
condition are found to be full of holes
at seeding time in spring. These holes
are caused by the common bean Wee
vii. The bette attacks the bean pods
in the field and is also able to breed
in the stored seed. In most cases the
first appearance of the weevil is in
stored beans. Examination will dis
close the holes where the adult beetle
has emerged and also may show
grubs still at work on the inside.
T, J. Talbert of the Missouri Col
lege of Agriculture suggests meas
ures of control. Weevily seed should
never be planted, because the beans
usually fail to terminate. Those that
terminate do not grow satisfactor-
lily. A temperature of 145 degrees
f. will kill the weevils in all stages
of development, provided they are sub
jected to heat for six hours. The heat
does not injure the termination of the
seed. They may be placed in an ov-
en- for this treatment.
Weevils may also be eliminated
from seed by fumigation with car
bon bisulphide. From one to three
pounds are required for 100 bushels
of seed or one ounce for rs or 100
pounds. The best method for treat
ment is to place the seed in a tight
receptacle and pour the carbon BIZ
sulphide into an open dish on top of
the seed. The fumes from the liquid
will settle among the seed and kill
the weevils. Allow the gas to act
from "a to SO hours. The gas is
highly explosive and consequently
must not be exposed to artificial lights
or fire.
The pea weevA has but one genera
ton year but may remain over win
ter in the seed. The same remedy
recommended against the bean wee
vii will also destroy the pea weevil.

CARDINAL OCONNELHS
 BIRTHDAY

His Baninence William Cardinal gratulations today on his fifty-eighth birthday. The eminent Boston church man and leader of Catholicism in New England was born in Lowell. Mass, Dec. 8, 1859. He graduated from Bos- ton College, with the degree of A. B., in 1881, and then entered the North American College in Rome. Last June marked the thirty third anniversary of his ordination to the priesthood in the Eternal City. Eleven years later he was appointed rector of the North American College in Rome, and later was made domestic prelate. In 1901 the future cardinal was appointed bishop of Portland, Maine, and was consecrated at St. Johns Lateran in Rome. Upon returning to America he was installed in the bishopric with imposing ceremonies in the Cathedral of Portland. His next honor was achieved in 1905, when he was made assistant at the Ponttfical throne, and appointed a special papal envoy to the Emperor of Japan, by whom he was given the Grand Gordon of the Sacred Treasure. Upon his return he was named archbishop of Constance and co-adjutator with the succession of Boston, and he succeeded to the Boston See upon the death of Arch bishop Williams in 1907. He was given the red hat of the Sacred Col lege in 1911, at the same time Arch bishop Farley of New York was ele- vated to cardinalate. Cardinal O'Con- nell was in Europe at the outbreak of the war, and returned on a Ger man vessel, which was several times threatened with capture by British and French cruisers.
