Charges Millers Oppose
Use of Whole Wheat
Bread

Food dopers, rotten egg merchants
and powerful interests which. taking
advantage of the war. arc seeking at

Allyn, Of wsstAeld, Mass. DR.. Thomas

men who know more about food than
any other forty men In the country"
DR.. Wiley charged that lobbyists
werc at work at Washington "taking
advantage Of the war by trying to
have a law against the adulteration
Of -four repealed" He said these mill
ing interests also were seeking 70 pre-
vent American housewives and bakers
from using whole wheat bread, (which
would add SO per cent efficiency to the
wheat crop. besides giving our people
better teeth and digestions."
"Just now more than at any other
time We are in need o. honest food
n ~
encd with a universal famine. While
this country is better able than the
rest to withstand the threat, still il
behooves US to husband our food re-
sources.
"But what is being done at Wash
ington? A hundred voices are being
raised to repeal the law against mixed.

protesting. in the interest Of millers.
that whole wheat -four would ruin the
country's health.

German Awakening
Near, Says Manning
America Must Fully Prepare
for Struggle, Declares
Trinity's Rector

Germany Is soon to have a great
awakening, in the opinion OF the Rev.
DR.. William T. Manning, expressed IN
a statement which prefaces the annual
report of Trinity parish. Forces within
or without may do it, he writes, but
whatever the source she must be set
free, for her own sake and the sake OF
the world, from the baleful influences
of her irresponsible and inscriptions
leaders"
"we have no feeling Of III will
against the German people" Dr.. Man
ming continues. 1--WE are far. indeed
from wishing to see them destroyed or
enslaved. We wish to see them set
free from the bondage into which they
have been brought. They have been
misinformed, misled and cruelty de-
ceived by their autocratic rulers"
Concerning Trinity's finances. the
rector calls attention to the fact that
the report "again reveals Q large def'clt
for the year, the entire income from
the endownments, together with the Oh
ferings of the people, being insufficient
to meet the great demands Of our re-
ligious, educational and charitable
work"
The offerings Of the parish during
the wear amounted to $104,450. Among
the expenditures were s362,s4s for
maintenance of churches and day
schools; s37,o27 for gifts and allow
ances to churches and for charities
outside the parish, and s2l6.a4l fcr
city taxes and water rates paid by the
corporation in addition TO- those PAID
by lessees. Trinity's liabili.J for notes
payable now amounts to $4,350,000.
The number of commandments new
enrolled is 9,39S, an increase Of 200
over the previous year. During the
wear there were 404 combinations, 3!4
baptisms. 1923 marriages, 473 burials
and 1886 public services.

Summer Burlesque Here
Annual Show at the Columbia
Has Little Merit

A pool of water and some really ex-
cellent diving on the part OF half a
dozen girls combine 10 enliven the
burlesque entertainment which began a
run at the Columbia yesterday after
noon. This years summer organiza-
ton is known as the Hip! Hip! Hoo
raw Girls" and the burlesques, as
usual. are the work of JUNE MeCree.
But Mr.. McCree's end OF the entertain
ment is not nearly SO good IS that OF
Helen Osborne, who is the most ski
full Of the sextet of divers.
The new show is well tostumed and
reasonably well staged, and there is a
skating finale which has a touch Of
merit here and there. At this point
optimism must end. The entertain
ment as whole is stupid beyond be-
lief. and cannot but make one sigh for
the good old days when Mr.. McCree
was represented b. "Ihe Man from
Denver"

to another part Of the house to attend
to some OF her duties. AS soon as she
left George reascended the steps and
when he got to the top climbed up
onto the balustrade and attempted to
walk on 1t.
Soon afterward the nurse heard a
dull thud in the hall and hurrying In

animation and finding that the little
fellow was seriously injured she hur-
ried from the house to summons aid
