What Did He Mean?

Until three O'clock this afternoon
Warden Hanley Of the Topbs prison
was a perfectly c~ontented warden, says
q New York correspondent. He had
been told twice during the morning
that a man with a frock coat and a,
silk hat had called to see him, and as
the man was to returnsat three O'Clock,
Mr.. Hanley cut short his tour Of the
prison and returned to his Office. He
found that the caller had called, fnmed
and finally left this note: Thirty
years ago my father, who was Of me-
dium height and undoubtedly punctual,
was employed as a heat denunciators in
a metal mill in Pittsburgh. For years,
or at least for a considerable time, he
told no one. However, 1t was common

White Bread an invader.Y

We all mourn the death Of the white
loaf. We look with disfavor upon itY

aingy edible as something new-"owing
to the war" We have forgotten that
with cur grandfathers a quite white loaf
was a rarity. \
English millers had the shock of their
lives when they discovered the white
ness of foreign -four. Nothing could
be produced by our mills to satisfy the
baker, who in turn had to please his GUS
toners with white bread. Imports Of
flour increased alarmingly, and all be-
aus the British public were enamored.
Of white bread.
Rumors OF wonderful machinery pro-
ducing, white flour in Budapest caused
English millers to visit AustriaxHun-
gary. The result of this deputation was
that in 1878 the first complete plant to
rleduc wheat to white flour was installed
in England.
So started the home manufacture OF
white bread. We have had to bid fare

Joseph Clouture, now on trial in the

repeatedly disappeared on one side OF

the other side.
