Alfalfa has a deservedly high repu-
tation as food, but its use has been
largely to consumers with horns and
hoofs. That it may serve its purpose
also with the genus Homo is indicated
by the proposed establishment of
large factory in Council Bluffs, Iowa,
for the production of -four, tea and
coffee" syrup, extracts, and candies
all from alfalfa. These products,
we learn from the Council Bluffs Nom
pareil, have been made for some time
at another plant in Denver, Colo, and
are already on the market. If we have
not known them by name, it is doubt
less because we have not pursued our
investigations far enough toward the
sources of our food. At any rate, we
are told, they have now been in use
long enough "to demonstrate that
there is big demand and that they
can be produced in sufficient quanti-
ties and at a price that will undersell
similar products made from other sub
stances" Says the Council Bluffs pa
per:
1T is claimed for them that they
have unusual health-giving qualities,
and that, aside from being very pal
atable and nourishing, they have med
icinal effects in many cases.
Alfalfa flour mixed with wheat
flour, graham -four, and other flours
makes a very fine loaf bread. The
special processes devised by Mr.. Rich
for the manufacture of alfalfa flour
refer partly TO the cutting and partly
to the curing Of alfalfa leaves. The
best results are secured by growing
the plant especially for the given pur-
poses. The washing of the leaf is
first essential, as Mr. Rich has discov-
cred. and his methods are covered by

Grantland Rice is sweet and kind

ing things in a sweet and kindly
way. Sometimes he says them in
verse, which is still better.

stuff until you have read some of his
verses. Then you wonder why he
doesn't write in rhyme all the time
Then some day you read one of his
baseball stories, and you decide that
there is n good deal to be said on
both sides of this proposition.
Grant Rice is almost the only man
/ know who has made literature of the
sporting department of daily paper
NOT merely smart journalism, but ac-
tually literature-matter that has
good diction. swift, sharp, cracking
metaphor, deft phrasing, smooth, clar-
flied English. And his jingles very
frequently are more than just rhymes.
They are rhythm.
He was born shortly after the re-
construction period went out of fash
ion in the bluegrass country of Ten
nessee-oh, yes, Tennessee has blue
grass belt too-and he came to New
York by way of Atlanta, Georgia.
where he wrote sport stuff which was
reprinted all over the country, some
sometimes without it, which was an
even greater compliment to the young
man. l have heard that when New
York paper offered him a job and he
accepted it. he was scared stiff for fear

know he has but one serious vice:

WATERPROOFING SHOES
AND CLOTHES AT HOME

A new method of making clothes and
shoes impermeable to moisture, so
simple, inexpensive, and easy of appli-
cation as to be within the reach of
the average housewife, has just been
communicated to the Academy of Sci
ences in Paris by DR.. Niewenglowsky.
The waterproofing material employed
consists of solution of one ounce of
paraffin dissolved in about a quart of
gasoline. To waterproof clothes, all
that is necessary is TO soak them in
the cold solution For shoes the solu-
ton must be warm and applied with
a brush. Since gasoline is highly in
flammable, the heating must be done
in double boiler and with great care.
The temperature should not be al
lowed to raise above 104 degrees, i. e.,
a very little over blood-heat, so that
when the hand is dipped in it no ap-
preciable heat is felt. The process
preserves both the color and the fiex-
Denver labor bulletin., 1917-08-04

ibility of either cloth or leather, and
does not require the previous removal
of buttons, braid, frogs and other or
naments. 1t is, therefore, available
for military uniforms.
Another method presented to the
same learned body was proposed by
DR.. lie Roy, director of the Municipal
Laboratory of Rouen. This makes
use of mutton suet dissolved in and
diluted by a neutral, anhydrous, and
volatile liquid. The impermeable con-
dition obtained is very durable, since
the product adheres closely TO textile
fibers without altering the shape of
garments subjected to the treatment.
moreover, the necessary drying is
very easy. The cloth retains its hv-
gienic property of being permeable
to air and permitting Transportation.
DR.. lie Roy's process makes use Of
chloroform of tetrachlorid of carbon
to dissolve the mutton fat, and after
ward dilutes with the ordinary gaso-
line used in automobiles. The uniform
or other garment to be waterproofed
is dipped in a receptacle of suitable
size, rubbed for a few minutes, then
dried in the air after the excess liquid
has been wrung out. The cloth is not
changed in color, elasticity, or aspect
bv the fatty BODY left adhering to its
fibers after the dissipation of the vola-
tile diluent.
The cost of treatment is very cheap.
1t is perhaps hardly necessary to eau
tion those trying these methods to use
them on old or inexpensive garments
at first, until success is assured.

HUMAN FOOD FROM ALFALFA

much as graham or whole-wheat flour
impresses an individual color upon the
completed loaf. The manufacturers
are able, however, to produce a white
bread, if any one desires it.
1T is not best to bake with the sim
pie alfalfa -four alone. The most de-
sirable product is blend with wheat
flour, because the gluten in the wheat
gives better binding power to the al
falfa dough. The flour is manufac-
tured to contain from 40 to 70 per
cent alfalfa Bread in 100-pound
bakes has been made under Mr.. Rich s
direction from this blended -four, and
every type of cooky, cracker and cake
has been demonstrated by profession
al bakers. Alfalfa bread and cakes
are no longer an experiment, but may
be made in any kitchen.
Samples of alfalfa cakes, cookies,
and crackers brought to the Nonpareil
office by Mr.. Ames and Mr.. Kirby, of
the company, looked and tasted equal
to National Biscuit product. 1t is
planned to have an exhibit and demon
stration in the window of some busi-
ness house here soon.
"The alfalfa syrup is said to possess
delightful flavor. Alfalfa honey is
the best in the world, and it is not
strange that an uncommonly good
syrup should be made from the same
product. The coffee made from baked
leaves of alfalfa after a special prep
aration is said TO simulate real coffee
to a remarkable degree. Analysis, it
is said, shows that it possesses tonic
and nourishing properties, with none
