WAR BREAD CAUSES TR6eBLE
Said to Be Responsible fer Digestive
Disorders Which Are Followed
by Eruptlons.

Reports of Illness through eating
war bread are being received from all
over the country, and the nevis that
Lord Rhondda has instituted IAN in
quiry into the cause will come as
relief to many, says the Dundee tAdver-
tiser.
The bread Is said to have given
rise to digestive troubles and then
eruptions in many districts. This is
said to be due to the fact that some
bakers are using imported flour,i which
contains beans and rice-ingradtents
which are quite unfit for breadntak
The inclusion Of the germ sets free a
large percentage of fat which is I'M
suitable for weak digestiOns. Then,
of course, regulation flour does not
possess the keeping properties which
wheaton flour does, and this fact again
gives rise to disorders.
The gray loaf can never be as pal
atable as the white one, but 1t can be
made equally Ggestible and nGurish-
ing If the necessary precautions are
taken. Still, our bread Of today, with
all its defects, Is not as bad as that
which the Parisians had to satisfy their
hunger at the time of the siege of
Paris, when quantity of straw was
mixed with the flour in order to help
eke out the supplies of grain.

ne. WANTED ONLY BIG GAME
ENGLISH Warrior Bravely Describes
Numerous Encounters With the
Eerocious African Beasts.

Once I was talking with one of those
gentleman rankers of the old England,
who by. this time is probably some
where in France, for he was always
looking for trouble where it was thick
est, writes a New York Sun war cor
respondent. He had been away for
about three years in the jungles of At
RIGA at that time and was giving a
little account of himself.
Among his frank admissions was the
story Of holding off a band of Asian
tees for six days single-handed, while
he kept busy with two rifles and a
revolver. Also he had got away with a
few tons Of Illicit ivory in the African
1ungles and had slain six more bull
elephants than the law allows. Incl
dentally he had shot lion which was
charging him and had hand-to-hand
-clinch with a gorilla.
He had done things like that before,
this harum scarum offscouring. There
was nothing at which he ever stopped,
being mostly composed of iron nerve
and steel muscles. He had soft, ca
ressing way when he talked, and when
he dropped back into civilization he
continued to wear the wrist watch
with its grimy leather band which he
had taken with him through so many
adventures In the equatorial wilds.
"Bally effeminate," he observed.
''this tickbug, Ell? Maybe wrong, old
man. but deucedly convenient to SQuint
down at and time the two-horned rhino
that happens to be charging a chap,
oh, what?''

Coons and Turkeys.

They are hunting coons In Massa-
chusetts and eating them. They are
said to be a fine substitute for turkey
more than a substitute, better. That
is all right-they can eat them. Our
Pilgrim Fathers can eat all the coon
they want. We will take a second help
ing to turkey, declares a writer in the
Columbus State Journal. We try to
imagine the eating of coon. We can't
do it any more than we can think OF
eating cat. But hunting coons is diff
ferent. Here is the process: Take
an auuomoDI1e. Put IN guns, dogs, and
a companion or two, and then, when
far into the country and near a for
est. unloose the dogs and send them
into the woods. Soon they start to
barking vigorously and there Is a
coon. The papers tell of one party OF
four starting out after dark, returning
at midnight with nine coons. That
couldn't be done in Ohio, which is not
a primitive state, like Massachusetts,.
Our coon crop is gone. We are sorry.
The coon is a fine animal for coon,
but not for meat. John Alden and his
merry men are welcome to it.

RATS MARCH LIKE SOLDIERS
Rodents Have Little Difficulty in Find.
ing Supply of Food, and Adapt
Themselves to Conditions.

The ready adaptability of rats to
their surroundings is one of the quail
ties which has enabled them to con-
quer the world, E w. Nelson writes
In the National Geographic Magazine.
On the approach of warm weather
in summer large numbers of them
leave buildings and resort to fields on
farms or to the outskirts of the towns.
where the growing vegetation, particu-
larly cultivated plants, affords them
an abundant supply until the approach
of winter. AT the beginning of cold
weather they return again to the shell
ter of buildings, where they find the
harvested crops ready for their con-
sumption.
When the food supply suddenly de-
creases. following a period of plenty
during which the rats have greatly
increased in numbers, a migratory i'm
pulse appe,.rs to affect the entire rat
population over large areas and q
general migration takes place. At
such times the rats are extraordinarily
bold, swimming rivers without hesita.
ton, and surmounting all other natu-
raj obstacles. The first invasion Of Eu-
rope, when rats swan the Volga, was
an instance Of this kind. Expert
ments by the United States public
health service have shown that when
released in the water of a harbor rats
may swim ashore for a distance OF
1900 yards.

Conservation of Wool.

The Presidents national committee
of defense has been busily sending
out announcements to the wholesale
dessmakers. They tell the dire tale
that wool must be saved by this coun-
try, and they make the pertinent sug-
gestion that the coming gowns shall
not be made all Of wool, notes the
New York Times. There is substi-
tute for wool, woven of what is called
"remade WOOL (they are using some
of this in the army, and, then, there
is our lifelong friend, the cotton and
wool mixture--not considered very ele-
7 "a ut IN the past. There is no telling
what will be the result of all this
looking forward, but the fact remains
that wool is going up and up and that
something must be done, not alone for
the sake of the government, but for
the sake of poor, suffering pocket
books. We may yet be dressing in
paper and spurning wool as old-fash-
Toned and out of date.

Railway traffic through the Rhine
town has been congested for several
days. it is also reported, owing to tn :

civilians are permitted to travel along
the Rhine and the German frontier
remains closed.
Although the Italian victory excited
little enthusiasm in Germany, the sue
cess of Cambria, the semi-official Wolf
bureau says, is causing the greatest
Joy.
An Amsterdam despatch says the
CORES pondent of the Cologne Gazette
on the western front describes the
British bombardment of Cambria as
having damaged about 100 houses, but
as leaving the cathedral untouched
and causing only slight damage to the

BIG BUSINESS men
Some Who Do a Days Work Be-
fore Breakfast.
ord Rhondda and Lloyd George Of
England, Roosevelt and Rockefeller
Among Quick Thinkers.

Lord RhOndda, the food controller,
s one of the greatest business men
England has ever produced, London
Tit-Bits says. His lOrdShip is accus-
.Omed to commence his days work be-
;ore he rises in the morning. From
hen until the time when his dressing
$ completed he is busy with various
problems, and upon many occasions
he has actually settled important mat
{ s. in connection with the department
1t the breakfast table. Thus, when he
arrives at his Office he has already
lone what many men would consider
4 good days work.
Perhaps no member Of the win-tlie-
var government leads more Strenu-
)us existence than its leader, Lloyd
George. Always up before six in the
morning, he is busy even at breakfast
Aflen he gives his attention to multi
:udinous affairs of state. Although ne
Invariably spends his weekends at his
charming house in the country, the
prime minister is in constant touch
With 10 Downing street by telephone.
# any important question arises during
his sojourn out of town, less than half
an hour finds the premier back at No.
10. This wonderful little Welshman
frequently makes an "all-night sitting

nentous Importance that has cropped

Our foreign minister, Arthur Bal
four. is another expert at time saving.
He gets through large amount of cor
reSpondence every day during mealS,
debating letters to his secretary be-
tween the courses. Although he is sell
dom seen In the house of commons
nowadays, it was invariably his prac-
hce before the war to compose his
speeches while listening to the debates.
Ex-President Roosevelt is another
celebrity who has reduced time saw
Ing to a fine art. He constantly takes
a paper and pencil out with him when
he is riding on horseback, and at such
times decides upon his reply to a diff
ficult question or outlines an article

he thinks out beforehand what is the
simplest and quickest way of getting 1t

to negotiate an important oil deal with
him, one involving the transfers OF
hundreds of thousands of pounds,
spent weeks in preparing for the final
momentous interview.
Mr.. Rockefeller walked into the
room where he was sitting with his
piles of papers. "How much?" he
asked. The man named figure, though
