1N%o of 559o of Meat In spected Destroyed, Says
 Home Economies Expert.

How Uncle Sam spends more than $3,000,000 a year for the protection of the peoples health, through prevent merce of diseased or bad meat was told the housewives of Pine Bluff yes terday afternoon at The Graphic s Cooking School, in the Shriners' tenn pie, by Mrs. Helen Harrington Down ing, home economies expert and prac- tical home manager.
 Mrs. Downing's talk on United States government inspection of meats and meat products was surprise evi- dently to a good many of the large audience.
 'It is quite true" said Mrs. Down ing, that only 55 per cent of the meat consumed in this country is passed upon by government inspec- tors One and one-half per cent of that which is inspected is rejected and destroyed. This fact illustrates how necessary is this inspection. Contrary to general opinion, the federal laws governing meat inspection apply only to meat destined for interstate com- merce; meat sold within the state need not be inspected unless there is a state law to that effect. No man. not even a butcher, without veterinary training, can assume to be a capable judge of the fitness of pork or beef for food Many fat porker in the old days, and even today, which, to the untrained eye of the farmer and his family appears nothing short of the finest and choicest in the land, might have been unequivocally con- demned if one of the efficient veteri- narians operating in an inspected es- tablishment today had been present to throw the searchlight of science upon all of his organs and glands during the process of slaughter. Every com mercial cut of meat should be mark ed. United States Inspected and Passed If you value the health of your family, trade with butcher who carries only such meat.
 "In plants where government in spectors are stationed, all meat and meat food products are inspected not only those which are to be ship ped beyond state limits, but every thing. The government inspects all or nothing in what it terms official establishments
 How Inspectors Work.
 "ln one of the principal packing plants in Chicago, for instance. force of 65 inspectors is present at all times, in charge of a supervisor of inspection for. that particular plant. Each of the other plants has similar ly trained force working under other supervisors. All of these supervisors in the vicinity of Chicago report to Dr. w. N. Neil with offices at United States yards.
 These inspectors are trained vet erinarians, having passed United States civil service examinations. All animals slaughtered in the plant arc given four inspections by these gov ernment representatives. Complete records are kept of all carcasses killed. Each carcass is identified by number, and each number accounted for the bureau of animal industry at

One Effect of the War on the Women
of France Is to american
ize" Them.

In a general way one might say that
the war has 10 some extent American
lied the women of France. That is
in the sense of our current expression
"a fAmericaine, it has given her more
freedom of action. more independence
in manners and spirit. It has elm
inated-especially as far as young
girls are eoneerned-many little con-
VentionS which really tended to become
less rigorous anyway. but which the
strong winds of the last two years
happenings have entirely blown away.
Some twenty years ago the daugh.
tiers of good families began To acquire
the right to take walk without n
chaperone, something unheard-of. un-
imaginable, to their mothers Now
they fare forth unattended to the hos
pitfalls, to their works of charity, which
have multiplied greatly during the
war.
But it is their relations to the young
men that have undergone the most
radical changes. Mademoiselle keeps
up a correspondence with her god
sons" and with her childhood friends
in the army. The ever-present thought
that these young men may at any mo-
ment vanish out of the world has rem
dered them inexpressibly more dear to
everyone, and so parents have accord
ed this liberty which tradition up to
now had refused.-Cartoons Magazine.

On the contrary, if thought for one
moment that | was doing evil | would

your mind easy and sit down in that
chair. Now fold your hands and COM

Clough took his seat and Emmanuel
went to chest and brought back a
small instrument consisting of a kind
of glass ball, suspended from a chain.
The chain terminated in a common
corded wire and socket, which he at
tached to the electric light fixture.
He turned the switch and instantly
the ball began revolving with tremen-
dous rapidity.

Doctor. Your mind is active but

can neither see, hear, taste, smell, nor

The figure grew rigid in the chair.

Emmanuel motioned to us to sit

again.

said. What did you find? Where is

There was no answer. Emmanuel

They kept about two PAGES apart and
moved as though strung on single

down again the other followed suit.
Emmanuel looked at them as hope

WHEN GANDER TOOK CHARGE
Housed His Flock Every Night to
Escape the Foxes, Relieving
Owner of Job.

w. IL. Hudson's Adventures Among
Birds contains this story Of genius
asserting itself:
On a certain small island on the
coast of Norway the geese used to
congregate every year in large num-
bers, and here one autumn some years
ago goose was caught by the leg in
steel trap set for Il fox The keeper
from a distance saw the whole vast
gathering of geese rise up and circle
round and round In a cloud, with Il ire
mendous cutlery, and when he got to
the spot he found the bird struggling
violently in the trap. He took it home
to larger island close by, where his
master, my informant's friend, had
farm. From that day the wild geese
never settled on the isiet. which they
had used as resting place for many
years.
The bird he had accidentally caught
was an old gander. and its leg was
broken; but the keeper set TO work
to repair the injury, and after bind
ing 1t up he put the bird into an out
house. and eventually It got quite well.
He pinioned II and put it out with the
other birds. A little while before the
old gander had been caught the foxes
became so troublesome ut the farm
that IT was found necessary to shut uP
all the birds every night In Enclosures
and houses made for the purpose and
as the birds preferred to be out, the
keeper had to spend a good deal nf
time every evening in collecting and
driving them in.
Now. before the old wild goose had
been able to go about many aays with
the others 1t was noticed that he was
acquiring kind of mastery over them,
and that every day as evening ap-
preached he began to try To lead and
failing in that, to drive, them 10 the
Enclosures and buildings. The keeper
curious to see how far this would 20
began to relax his efforts. and as his
efforts slackened the gander'S zeal
Increased, until he was left 10 do the
whole work himself all the keeper
had To do WIS In 20 round himself and

Gabelle tartly. Tarrant glanced at
her Indignantly, but the Doctor only
smiled indulgently.

Clough
Yes, l see her." he answered.
But you do not see all of her.
What is missing?"
Her soul is missing"
Where is it, them" Emmanuel
asked
Il don't know"
Go and look for it"
There was no answer, but suddenly
Clough pitched sidewise out of his
chair The Doctor caught him. He
held him under the arms and raised
them. The arms remained in the air,
rigid as steel. Clough was in the last
and deepest hypnotic state, the cata-

mind it had taken on somehow, in
