WAR BREAD CAUSES TROUBLE
Said to Be Responsible for Digestive
Disorders Which Are Followed
by Eruptions.

Reports Of Illness through eating
war bread are being received from all
over the country, and the news that
Lord Rhondda has instituted an In
qulry into tho cause will come as a
relief to many, says the Dundee Adver-
tlser.
The bread Is said to have given
rise to digestive troubles and then
eruptions in many districts. This Is
sald to be due to the fact that some
bakers are using imported -four which
contains beans and rice-ingredents
which are quite unfit for breadmaking.
The inclusion Of the germ sets free n
large percentage Of fat which is UNI
suitable for weak dlgestions. 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 It can be
made equally dlgestible and nourlsh-
Ing II the necessary precautions are
taken. Stlll, our bread of today, with
all Its defects, is not as bad as that
which the Parlslnns had to satisfy their
hunger at the time OF the siege Of
Paris, when n quantity Of straw was
mixed with the flour In order to help
exc out the supplies Of grain.

HE WANTED ONLY BIG GAME
English Warrior 6raveIy Describes
Numerous Encounters With the
Feroclous African Beasts.

Once 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 II was thick
est, writes New York Sun war cor
respondent. He had been away for
about three years in the jungles of AZ
RIGA at that time and was giving n
little account Of himself.
Among his frank admissions was the
story of holding off q band of Asian
tees for six days slngle-handed, while
he kept busy with two rifles and n
revolver. Also he had got away with n
few tons Of Illicit ivory in the African
jungles 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
cllnch with gorilla.
He had done things like that before,
this harum .scarum offscoufing. There
was nothing at which he ever stopped
being mostly composed of Iron nerve
and steel muscles. He had soft, Gu
ressing way when he talked, and when
he dropped back into civilization he
continued to wear the wrist watch
with It's grlmy leather band which he
had taken with him through so many
adventures In the equatorial wilds.
"Bally effeminate," he observed,

man, but deucedly convenient to squirt

GREAT PROFIT ON STEAMERS
One Vessel Sold for 100000 More
Than II Cost After Being IN 9erv.
Ice for Five Months.

Some idea of the tremendous nd
vance in the price ofsyessel property
and the fabulous prices now being paid
for vessels that can be bought IL
shown In the sale of the Boston steam-
er Tldewater, which has changed own
ership after running In the coal-cnrry-
Ing trade to this port for less than five
months, says the Boston Globe. The
big collier cost to build about $4,000,
and was sold for more than 100000,
II profit Of more than $2000,000.
The Tidewater was built ut the New
York Shlpbulldlng company's yard,
Camden, N. j., and was completed
early the present year. The vessel Is
constructed Of steel, Is 30s.0 feet long,
55.2 feet beam and 800 feet depth Of
hold. Her net tonnage Is 1884 and
gross tonnage 5000. She was owned
by Cashier, Curran & Built, and was
sold to the Amerlcan-Itnllan Steamship
company Of New York.

Mexico an Indian countrv2

1t is Of importance to inquire into
the attitude taken by the southern
Indians Of Mexico toward the official
Spanish civilization, snys the New re-
public. If II IL difficult for IN out
slider only slightly acquainted with the
southern Indians to understand the
reasons for their marked hatred OF
tho Spanlnrds It seems self
evident Of anyone who has spent any
time with them. To the southern In
dams, the Spanlard and his successor,
the Spanlsh.speaklng Mexican, Is the
cruel allen conqueror They feel that
they are Indians and that Mexico IL
an Indian country. For instance, one
Of the common objections TO MaderO
encountered In Oaxaca was TINT he
was not an Indian and that the presi-
dent Of Mexico should be an Indian.
This attitude IL significant, and It is
not strange to find even northern
Indian like Huerta proudly exclaIm-
Ing: "Yo 80 indiana" Cnrranza's lack
Of popularity In the south Is not 80
much due TO the fact that southern
Mexico Is the home OF Dlaz as 10 the
fact that Carranza Is not an Indian.

Gear Wheels Made Of Cotton

Gears are now being made Of or
binary cotton which Outwear those
made from the finest steel. It seems
Incredible, but It is true, says Popular
Science Monthly.
The very hardness of the metal
gears causes the teeth surfaces to
scrape over each other when they
mesh, producing hldeous screeches and
groans. Everyone Of these scraplngs
means a certain amount Of wear.
Teeth made out Of compressed cot
ton yield. They are, therefore, noise
less. Compressed with the metal genrs,
they are lndestructlble. TO make
these fiber gears n large cylinder built
up Of cotton disks Is compressed to but

JAZZ MUSIC FOE OF BLUES
Does Not Consist, as ls Generally Be-
lleVed, Of Lot Of Noise Without
Rhyme or Reason.

Various descriptions Of jazz music
have from time to time appeared, but
none seem to hit the mark exactly,
says connolsseur of this art. The
common impression Is that 1t consista
of lot of peculiar and noisy sounds
without rhyme or reason. This Is not
the case, however. 1t consists chiefly
of syncopatlon, peculiarly accentuated (;
variations byssome of the instruments;
improvlsations by others, mingled with
odd sound effects. Through all this
the melody Of the selections rendered
must be dlstlngulshable at all times
tin can noises, beating the life out of
the drums, blasting by the brass In,
struments Is entirely unnecessary.
Contrasts between planlsslmo and for
tisslmo passages should be shown Just
as much in jazz music as In the class
les.
Another wrong impression Is that
jazz orchestras must consist Of GER
tain Instrumentation. This also Is not
the case. The violin, cello, cornet, pl-
ano. or In fact, any legitimate instru-
ment, can be used. AS jazz music Is
originally Ethiopian, the banjo and
saxophone are used merely to lend me-
gro character to It.
The number Of musicians that can
jazz properly Is said to DO small, be-
cause 1t really requires good musl-
clans, who must also be endowed with
the swing or knock Of performing It,.
Although many of the cafe and thea
ter orchestras are composed of good
musicians, those who Gun jass are
scarce. On the other hand, many Of
the self-styled jazz orchestras are mis-
representations, and cannot play the
,semlclasslcs or classics adequately.
Some cannot perform 1t properly, and
to offset this, resort to noise and dis
cord in imitation thereof. The per-
centage Of musicians who can do JUS.
tice to the classics and also play Jazz
Is consequently even smaller. This
kind Of orchestra Is exceedingly
scarce.
Jazz music Is rhythmic and lnsplr-
Ing. 1t is declared the best antidote
for the blues.-Mllwaukee Sentinel.

Coons and Turkeys.

They are hunting coons in Massa-
chusetts and eating them. They are
said to be fine substitute for turkey
more than substitute, better. That
is all right-they can eat them. Our
Pilgrim Fathers can eat all the coon
they want. We will take second help
Ing to turkey, declares writer In the
Columbus State Journal. We try to
imagine the eating Of coon. We can't
do 1t any more than we can think Of
eating cat. But hunting coons Is DIFF
ferent. Here Is the process: Take
an automobile. Put In guns, dogs and
companion or two, and then, when
far into the country and near for
est, unloose tho dogs and send them
into the woods. Soon they start to
barking vigorously and there Is Il
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 IL not
primitive state, like Massachusetts,.
Our coon crop Is gone. We are sorry.
The coon Is n fine animal for coon,
but not for meat. John Alden and his
merry men are welcome to It.

Pleoa OF Elr SIS Yeara Old.

The forestry Office at Portland, Ore.
received from one OF the Washington
rangers a specimen Of Douglas III
known to be 515 years old. The tree
when 1876 years old, fell to tho ground
where cedar tree took root In the
log and grew undlsturbed for 20e
years. The cedar was recently cut In
to single bolts, and the specimen OF
FIR was found In Its root. Woodsmen
can tell accurately the age Of u tree by
the number Of rings shown In tho
trunk stump when the tree Is felled.
The fir specimen Is sound, and IL
thought to be the Oldest Of its kind In
existence.

Adam was red, based on the assump-
ton that II was red earth (triturated
"old red sandstone" perhaps) from
which the Almighty nodded him; but
Tabari, the Arabian theological his
torian, asserts that, when God wished
to make Adam he instructed Gabriel to
bring him n handful Of every sort of
clay-black, white, red, yellow, blue
and every other kind. This, perhaps,
was intended to explain how Adams
descendants became so many-colored.

WANT TRANSFER POINT
Many Tepekans Would Have Waiting
Room Over Comfort Station.

The people of Topeka miss the
transfer station, according to W. l..
Porter, city commissioner. They seem
to want It back. Agitation to erect a
surface building over the new com
fort station. now being built, has
started. John Schenck, attorney, has
consulted Commissioner Porter on
the possibility of having a surface
building to be used as a transfer sta
ton, but has received little encour-
agement.
The plans and specifications for
the new building have been sane
toned by the board of commissioners
and the contract for the structure has
been let. 1t is too late for any change
in the plans now. Porter stated this
afternoon.
Hundreds of suggestion have been
coming in since actual work on the
station has started, Porter said. But
none of them will be considered. A
call for suggestions was sent out
long time ago while the building was
being planned. There were only
few replies. and now it is too late,
Porter declares.
The agitation for a surface build
ing received further slap when the
interested persons were informed that
there was no money in the citys
hands for the surface building. The
money for the comfort station was
transferred from other city funds and
practically all the excess money has
been appropriated.
