THE WHITE FLOUR HABIT.
Using Whole Wheat is Good EcOno-
my Measure.

The effort of the food administra-
ton to save wheat runs up against the
old time habit Of eating only white
bread. AS everyone knows white
-four uses only a part of the wheat
product. The husk of the wheat,
which has very lOurishing elements
is refined out. During recent years
whole wheat preparations have gain
ed enormously in popularity, but still
white -four is more popular with the
majority of people.
Years ago white -four was consid-
cred even more of delicacy than
now. Corn and rye fours were used
as an economy measure, but when
people got up in the world they felt
they must have white bread Doctors
used TO say that many poor people
would buy the most expensive white
flour, when rye and corn would have
been better for them physically at a
less expense.
SO called graham -four was popu-
iarized to a considerable extent by
DR.. Graham, who introduced it as a
health measure, using the entire
wheat, husk aid all. The coarser
substance promotes wholesome ac-
ton of the intestines, which in these
days of office and shop work many
people fail to get The modern whole
valuable husk. There has been some
controversy among physicians as to
which type of -four is most healthful,
but the weight Of opinion is strongly
toward whole wheat, though there
are some weak digestions that can't
take it.
People who have acquired the
whole wheat habit greatly prefer it.
White -four seems relatively taste
less to them. Using whole wheat is a
good ECONOMY measure. Anything
that refnes out all the valuable husk
and turns it over to the lower animals
is wasteful.
Hotels and restaurants will fiId a
growing number Of people who are a
great deal better pleased with whole
wheat breads and a great many more
can be converted to their use. It's a
good way to cooperate with the gov
eminent in war measures.

Houses Made of Glass.

Glass is becoming more generally
used as a building material each year.
For some years glass bricks have
been utilized where strength and
ability as we'll as beauty were es-
sential features. Glass is used for
wainscotting, for partitions, for cell
ings and for facing the front of build
ings. 1t is also being used for foun-
datioIS.
1t has been demonstrated that the
crushing strength of glass is three
times that of granite, six times that
of ordinary brick and ten times that
of concrete. Another advantage it
has over these materials is that it is
absolutely nonabsorba1t, so that a
glass building can be perfectly dry in
side, no matter what the atmospher-
ic conditions outside -Atlantic Jour
nal.

NO MISERS WANTED.
Economist, But Don't be an Econo-
MiSer.

People are still talking about the
financial course they ought to steer
while the war lasts. On this subject
cartoonist lately gave some pretty
straight and short advice when he
said: Economist, but don't be an
Econo-Miser."
The man who knocks out all his
regular habits of living, just so he
can sit in darkened room and count
his nickels by candel-light, isn't 60
ing to help very much-either him.
self or his neighbors. On the other
hand, there will be lot of hep for
all people concerned, in the man who
keeps his head first, and his money
afterward. He will use his brains to
decide where he can save without in
jury, and at the same time where and
how to go on spending and buying.
This is the job which the Nation
al Economy Board, appointed by the
President, is trying to do for the
whole country. The Board wants to
neep business moving, but it says
there must be some readjustments
For instance, the American people
are now paying ten per cent, on ev-
cry purchase they make, for the lux
ury of having their goods delivered.
The National Board says we should
have fewer unnecessary deliveries,
and storekeepers will doubtless be
glad to accept this. The trouble will
come il getting the people to put up
with the change, after twenty years
when women in cities have had every
spool of thread delivered by wagon.
Also the National Board wants US
to learn more about the use of cotton
in wooden goods. Our standard has
been "all WOOL" while countries like
England have learned to use much
more cotton than we do, and still
make more durable garments than
ours. With a wool shortage that
may reach 100, 10000 lbs. next year,
we must mend our methods. Finally
in all lines of goods. there must be
fewer fancy styles and more depend
able staples. In ways like this we
shall be economising but not injuring
or destroying business.

Taking the Paison out of Salt.

AS far as the supply OF salt goes it
is estimated that there is enough
available to last forever. Michigan
alone, it is said, claims to be able to
supply the whole world for 1000
years with all the salt it needs. But
no matter how plentiful salt may be
it has the disadvantage of being poi
soa, for no salt is wholly pure. Thus,
if the poison in salt can be eliminated
vast additional sources will be avail
able.
Scientists have come to the front
and have tackled the problem sue
cessfully. BY adding a solution of
just the right amount of sulphate of
soda, the barium or poison in the salt

DO YOU KNOW
ENGINE NUMBER?
If You Are Touring, The Garage Man
Wants TO Know.
MANY OTHER QUESTIONS
TO BIZ ASKED
Makes it Less Easy fer Man to
Steal Your Car and More Diff
cult for You to Evade
Automobile Tax.

If you put up your automobile in
any garage in Iowa now, you do not
merely take a claim check from the
garage man and go ahead about your
business. No, indeed. The garage
man brings out long list of Ques-
tioIs-as long as the lecture of a mo-
ther-in-law, for you to answer.
He wants to know the registry
number of your car.
That's easy. Then he asks you what
is the engine number.
Ten to one you don't know.
So he takes an electric light and
you go back to your car in the rear
end of the garage and read the engine
number. This is inserted in the
proper place in the registry together
with your age, color of hair, previ-
Gus condition of servitude, place of
residence, etc. ad libitum.
All this in compliance with law
passed by the last general assembly.
The law aims to make it more diff
cult for a man to steal your car and
get away with it. Also to make it less
easy for you to drive around the state
without a proper registry number.
The state needs that nine dollars tax
on your fliyver. And if you belong to
the plutocrat class, it needs the ex-
ira money still more.
Before the law was passed there
was nothing but the memory of the
garage man to aid the police or the
state officials in making their search
for the car. But the new law changes
all this. 1t states that every person,
firm, association, corporation, or CO.
partnership operating public garage
in Iowa must keep for public inspec-
ton a record of the license number
and engine number of all motor We
hicles taken in or held in charge by
the garage for the purpose Of rental,
! livery, selling, or repairs. This rec
ord must also contain the. name AID
address of the person delivering or
taking the car to the garage. The al
iteration or obliteration OF the engine
number will be considered as evil
dence of larceny of the machine and
on such a discovery the proprietor or
employees Of the garage must immedi-
ately notify the proper authorities
and hold the car for "a hours, or UNI
til thorough investigation is made
This record need not be made the
second time the same car and person
come to the garage, and when the
driver is personally known to the ga
rage proprietor or employe.
1t is said that more than 10000
motor cars are being operated in
Iowa without the license fees having
been paid by owners. With the gar
a ges keeping close check on all ma
chimes which may be reported to the
state authorities it is believed that
the evil may be lessened to a great
extent.

His Ideas OF an Editor.

A Pennsylvania schoo.boy is said
to have produced the following es-
say on the editor: Newspapers are
sheets Of paper on which stuff is
printed. The men look over the pap
err to see if their names isn't in it, and
women use it to put on shelves. l
don't know, ho&newspaper men come
into this world. l don't think God
knows. The bible says nothing about
editors, and never heard of one be-
ing in heaven. l guess the editors
is the missing link them fellows talk
about. The first editor | ever heard
of was the fellow who wrote up the
flood. He has been here ever since.
Some editors belong to the church
and some try to raise whiskers. All
Of them are liars at least all that l
know, and | only know one. Editors
never die, at least | never saw dead
