u. OF P. ANNOUNCES
NOTABLE DISCOVERIES

PITTSBURG, Nov. 1.-Two import
ont discoveries which will aid ma
terailly in cutting the high cost of
living have been announced by the
Mellon Institute of Research of the
University of Plttsburg.
One is the perfection of new
method of milling flour that increases
the value OF wheat approximately o
per cent. The demand in this coun'
try Is for white flour, and in milling
about 20 per cent OF the wheat pro
duces this. Another 10 per cent goes
into second grade flour, and the re-
naming 20 per cent Is animal food.
Experiments made for large milling
company have added per cent more
white -four. A new process OF bread
making worked out at the institute
has been adopted By The French and
English governments and the Belgian
Relief commission.
Another discovery of Importance ir
/ the method TO preserve orange and
p grape fruit juice. Citrus fruit grow.
ers have been compelled to waste
large portions OF their crops through
"culls." For years efforts to preserve
orange juice have been made, but the
product was UNIT for consumption
The institute has found way to
sterilize the juice without boiling, so
that new industry will be estab
: lished that bids fair to rival the
grape Juice industry and find use
for the culls.
II was also announced at the insti.
tute that the first gas masks used by
the allies were made here. When the
Germans threw the first gas waves
at the battle OF Ypres, chemists were
at work developing protector from
smelter smoke Believing that chlor.
inc gas was being used, Director Ia.
con made experiments with the mask
which proved successful The mask
was turned over to J. y. Morgan for
the use OF the allies, and II Is now
being universally worn.

A REAL PRAYER

do the soldiers at the front ever
pray?" The question was asked by a
preacher st ministers meeting in a
Canadian city. This is the story n
returned army captain told in reply:
Zone of the boys had been given
dispatches to carry over a read ex'
posed to the enemy fire. He stood
by his motorcycle ready to start. He
knew well the danger he must ride
through, the slim chance OF escape.
Looking ahead and unheeding by
ISLANDERS, he exclaimed: oh God,
don't give a damn for myself. but for
England's sake help me through.
A real prayer. The spirit of 1t is
the spirit that must inspire every man
who gets a clear vision of what this
war means.-Chicago Evening Post.

Of disease in farm animals, protective

Every hog breeder should give his

There are two good and sufficient rea-

Hogs are at price that make a young

Well, after a while. the ground was

were so full of water that he couldn't

THE NAVY BEAN

The navy bean is lowly form Of
vegetation carrying retreating fore
head and threatening price tag,
The straits 10 which the aristocra-
cy of this country are reduced IL
shown by the fact that few years
ago the navy bean was about as pop
ular form Of diet as the half -soled
round steak. whereas now Il IL more
sought after than a red-haired girl
who has been left four farms and an
arnful of bank stock. 1t is a pittful
sight to see a once proud family
whose members have always lived on
pork tenderlon and pineapple ice
now struggling feverishly to digest
the tenacious navy bean, after It has
been run thru hay cooker over
night.
The navy bean never found It's way
to the dining table OF the rich until
the European war broke out in sever
al spots. Practically all OF the navy
beans raised in this country we're fed
to the regular army and to people Of
the middle class with small incomes
and cork lined stomachs. When
man enlists In the army or navy he
is supposed to entrust his belongings,
including his stomach. to the father
ly care of the government, and II has
been found by long experience that
the egg shaped navy bean will sustain
life longer and at less expense than
any other article of food except pure
timothy lay.
A year or two ago quart OF navy
beans could be bought for a few cents
