Thoughts on the Game
by Request.
Written for Evening Journal
BY James 4. CrOzler.

Well. the baseball days again are here,
Amt 1 right about thatyy
If I'd and l amt ON hand it's queer,
am also right about that.
/ know that we both enjoy the fun,
To see batter hit the ball and run.
We are fun OF the thing till the game
is done,
There is surely some truth in that.
It will not matter if day is warm,
What can I say about thati
We will bee all right If there comes no
storm.
| am surely right about that.
If the man in blue should call the game,
And that hc will do 1T It starts to
rain,
If We have to 20 home. we can 60 again,
What do You think about thatY
You will find as both ON a bleacher seat
ann also sure about that,
And with parasol We can stand the
heat
You know I'm correct about that.
80 time 10 cat cones of cream or stun,
The only thing we don't like is a muif
And that is done sometimes sur,
enough,
You can bet am certain of that
And sometimes The umpire is not true,
An't I right about that,
And calls wrong things as they Otter
do.
There s certainly truth in that
Then sometimes girl in the grau'
stand
win give ms smile and a waving
hand
And that makes that game the best 10
the land.
We can both say amen TO that

uMeaouMp GRAIN BREAD.

II eavss Labor and Waste and osIns
In Mutritivs Value.
One reason advanced for the high
cost of food abroad Il the shortage In
manual labor. = result Of the war. An
Ingenious method Of dispensing with
T. large part OF this, hitherto consider
ed necessary before the grain In the
field can appear In the form of bread
upon the table. has been invented In
Italy.
According to Agriculture Toscana
an excellent bread, not only highly
nutritious. but delicious in favor and
appetizing Of taste. Ii made from
wheat which has never been milled.
It II important that the grain should
bc Of good quality and free from for
eign material. It Ia first carefully
wished and sifted and then placed In
tepid water to soak for q period Of
from forty-cight to sixty hours. &C
cording to the degree of hardness. AT
tho end Of this time 1t has become
"vitalized"-i. e.. 1t has begun to
terminate. and has therefore become
quite soft and tender and has under
gone profound chemical notifications.
When the proper degree Of vitaIiza-
ton has been attained the grain is
fed directly into a kneading machine,
where 1t IN triturated and kneaded
till It is ready to be nodded into loaves.
II ia then allowed to ferment, or "rise,"
for the proper length Of time. where
upon 1t Ia placed In the bakers oven.
The bread Ii gray in color and. being
made Of the whole grain, il much rich
or In food value than bread from -four.
containing a higher percentage Of min
eral salts, lecithln and vegetable pep
sin. There In a saving not only in
manual labor. but In wastage. 30 that
given weight Of grain yields a con-
siderably larger number of loaves
when unground than when converted
Into -four. Another advantage IL that
there Is less risk Of adulteration than
when flour II used.

THEY WANT STRAIGHT EYES.
% Natives In Japan Ar Rssertins to
the our0son's Knife.

You think that 1t is impossible to
mistake a Japanese on account of his
almond eyes. peculiar to the yellow
race. Do not he so sure. for 1t IL quite
likely you are wrong.
OF recent years curious fad has
taken root in Japan. This is nothing
more or less than the alteration. by
tho surgeons knife, of the shape Of the
eye. 30 that in future the Japanese
will not be distinguished as one of the
almond eyed" races. The operation
Ia said to be simple and quite pain
less.
The surgeon takes q scalpel In his
right hand and. stretching the skin
with the forennger OF his left hand.
makes an incision on the outer point
Of the eyelids In . straight line for the
barest part Of an inch. The lashes are
then drawn Into shape and held firmly
by q piece Of chemically prepared
sticking plaster.
The wound needs no further dress
Ing. and the subject Of the emperor of
the Flowery Kingdom goes on about
his business as II nothing had happen
ed. In few days 1t is entirely heal
ed, when the surgeon Is visited and re-
Quested to remove the plaster. and
with the plaster comes the fee.
The Japanese say that their eastern.
not to say Monaghan. appearance Is 4
disadvantage to them In their CONNER
cial and other relations with western
races. Whether this is so or not. 1t Is
a positive fact that some Of the high
est ofiicials In chrysanthemum land
have fallen In with the popular fancy.
and European medical men out there
are making lots of money by the use
Of their scalpels. One authority states
that the mikado himself has had his
eyes ''westernixed."

Sentiment Favoring the

many in A Months Time
Teuton Government
Denounced

Ell Paso, Tex, July 5.-Since the
pro-ally campaign in Mexico first
was started by Ell Universal in Mex
leo City the sentiment favoring the
Allies has reached Northern Mexico,
and during the past thirty days
well-defined movement favoring an
open break with Germany and the
alignment Of Mexico on the side of
the Entente allies has developed.
This has been in spite of the pre-
German sentiments published daily
in Chihuahua City and in other pa
pers believed to be subsidized by the
Germans in the north.
A reflection Of this sentiment was
seen recently in the statement by
General Francisco Gonzales, acting
commander-in-chief of the north
eastern military zone, with head
quarters at Chihuahua. He was over
charged by the German firm of Ket-
elsen & Degeteau for some padlocks.
The manager was arrested and
placed in the penitentiary. The Ger
man counsel made a demand for his
release ''in the name Of the imperial
German government and the Kaiser"
according to an American officer who
was present at the time.
''Tell the German consul he, the
imperial governments and the Kaiser
may all go to hell" General Gonzales
