WAR TURNS THOUGHTS
TO RELIGIOUS LIFE
Presbyterian Board of Education Sees
Spiritual Awakening Resulting
From Strike.
UNITED Pressl

DALLAS, Tex, May 22-The world
war has prepared the youth of Ameri-
ca for religious thoughts and instruc-
ton the Board of Education declared
in its report to the General Assembly
of the Presbyterian church today.
There is now a thoughtfulness and
a spiritual receptivity among students
which was absent in the days of ease
and quietness," the report said.
Traditions and conventions no
longer satisfy. They are perhaps only
beginnings of the fierce desire, of
which we hear across the sea. to strip
away the husks and get at the kernel
of reality; but at least students are
more accessible to earnest messages
of the truth and to the burning chal-
lenge to service.
"They know that with tasks con-
fronting them "a new order is
being instituted. Titanic spectacles
of Heroism electrify them"
The board of education, which was
formed in 1919 in Philadelphia, rec
commended that its centenary be cell
ebrated next year in that city. The
general assembly will also be asked

COFFEE A FOOD IN

Experts Tell of Uses Put to Plant by

The protein content of coffee, so far
as civilized man is concerned, is an
absolute waste. The only constituents
of coffee that are of value as the civil

stitutes that are water soluble, and
can be extracted readily with hot
water. When coffee is properly made,
as when made by French drip method
or percolated, the ground coffee only

Tor a few seconds, and the protein,
which is not only insOluble but coagu-

Coffee contains a large percent of

this figure with q per cent of pro-
TEN in peas, % per cent in lentils,
beans 26 per cent, peanuts "a per
cent, wheat flour about II per cent
and white bread less than per cent
we can see just how much of this val

Though civilized man does not use
this protein content of coffee, in GER
tain regions of Africa it has been put
to use in a very ingenious and effec-
tive manner. The Gallae, a wandering
tribe of Africa, and like most of the
wandering tribe of savages, a warlike
one, find it necessary to carry food on
their long marches in a very cOncen-
trated form, as space and weight must
be considered. Before starting on one

warrior equips himself with a number
of food balls. Each ball is about the

prove very unpalatable, but from
the purely physiological stand
point is not only a concentrated and
efficient food, but has the additional
advantage that it contains a valuable

Directors of the Kansas city board of
trade late Thursday afternoon adopted a
resolution prohibiting any more buying of
corn for regular delivery on future con-
tracts, except to close existing contracts.
The action was taken because the trade is
in danger of embarrassing complications if
dealing in futures is permitted to continue
under existing conditions. With maxi
mum price of lbs, dealers in Texas and
Oklahoma buying corn for December
and January shipment at prices ranging
up to $1-50. 1t is said that some export
sales have been made on this basis by
members willing to take long chance.
This situation makes it seem likely that no
corn will be available for delivery on De-
cember contracts and a fixed settlement
price will have to be made ultimately. 1t
became necessary either to stop new trad

price. The Chicago board of trade was
unwilling to do the latter, SO the Kansas

TODAY'S MARKET REPORTS

Chicago, Aug. 11-CORN-A severe
break in prices offered for corn for imme-
date delivery tended today to weaken the
market for futures. Industries were bid
ding only $195 for number mixed this
morning, drop of lie as compared with
yesterdays last sales. The fresh setback
was attributed to the fact that distiIIers
continued to refrain from making any pur-
fled their wants previous to the enactment
OF the food control measure. Opening
quotations for futures which varied from
unchanged figures to 12c lower. with Dee
at S1.151s to S1151a and May at S111a4 to
S1.12 were followed by slight rally and
then a decline all around to well below
yesterdays finish.
The fact that notwithstanding the break
cash prices were still at a big premium
as compared with futures, prevented any
radical weakness in futures. The close for
futures was nervous at the same as yes

demand for Meat Has Stimu-

Kansas is making a record as a
larry state, according to the biennial
eport of J. c. Mohler, secretary of
he state board of agriculture. Mohler
lhows that since 1910, the state has
ncreased its dairy herd 76 per cent.
che Mohler report shows that the
tate has for the first time registered
more than million milk cows.
The enormous increase in dairy ac-
ivities in Kansas is declared by Moh-
er to be one of the most encourag-
ney signs of the states rural growth

While the dairy industry has been
marching steadily ahead, the war has
put an awful crimp in the horse CEN

1nands have kept down the states
showing and in many localities farm
ers have conserved feed, time, energy
and expense by substituting tractors
for horse power in field work.
Set Back in Hogs.
Hog raising in Kansas received a
setback during the year, according to
the Mohler report. In this state the
hog industry goes up and down. Last
year was one of the down years. All
of which may mean that this year may
be an up year and again it may not.
Record prices for feed discoura ged
many farmers who really wanted to
feed large herds of porkers. Then,
too, the record of cholera in this state
shows a consistent batting average.
So the farmer played safe, sold his
grain, forgot his hog ambitions, raised
few more beef cattle and milk cows
and sold his horses to the agents OF
