the latest in food conservation.
They are a southern Woman's con-
tributlon to the work Of Herbert

idea.

of the type that makes the south ia
nous. She can tell others. in lectures
as she has been doing before southern
conventions, how to save food. and
then she can go into her own kitchen
and save it herself.
She invented the new flour. which is
one fifth cottonseed. Ordinarily much
c0ttonseed is pure waste. AS a result
of Miss Gordon's ingenuity it is put
through a special process, after which
the mixture Of 20 per cent cottonseed
flour with wheat flour produces Il
combination as tasty as common white
flour and more nutritious.
DR.. Oscar Bowling. president of the
Louisiana health board, has been eX-
perimentine; in his laboratory, in car
rying out Miss Gordons discovery. He
reports pure cottonseed flour is 80
times more nutritious than eggs. and
has SO times as much protein as white
flour The breadstuffs he eats are
made from cottonseed flour.
In addition, when cottonseed flour Is
used the amount of shortening may be
reduced one third to one-half. With
the exception of this change. house,
wives may use their regular recipes
for bread, biscuits or cakes.
Mr. Hoover says a conservation of
one fifth of the wheat crop would
mean victory" said Miss Gordon.
"Cottonseed flour will save one fifth of
the wheat. II all used it, 1t would save
over a billion loaves of bread year. or
the wheat produced on 100000 acres

the armies that trachoma was at one
time termed military ophthalmia,'
according to Dr. John McMullen. a
surgeon in the United States public
health service.
Trachoma has been said to be as
odd as the Nile, the simeon and the
desert 1t has an historical impor-
lance as an epidemic disease of both
military and civil life and has made
fearful ravages in practically every
European country.
Despite the confusing and contra
dictory statements in connection with
trachoma. the contagious character of
the disease is unquestionable.
During the first half of the nine

five Of the Belgian army Is said to
have suffered from the disease. Dur
ing the Russo Japanese war trachoma
was q formidable enemy to be reck-
oned with In the Japanese army and
large numbers OF troops had to be iso-
lated and treated for this malady.
Some months ago it was reported
that an epidemic Of trachoma was
causing considerable anxiety in France,
the disease having been brought to that
country by African soldiers and la
bOrers. The disease. however, was
checked by the quick isolation of all
victims and other drastic measures.
Medical inspection at United States
ports indicates that trachoma. is found
most extensively among the Syrian,
Armenian. Hebrew. Italian, Polish and
Greek races. Lasting as it does for
years it often ruins the life and hap
piness of entire families.
