longing to an exquisite
12-piece suit of walnut,

The history Of the Adriatic for
centuries was the struggle OF the
Italians against the ancient kingdom
of Hungary, against the Ottoman
empire, and against the Austrian en-
pirc. The Ncntians eXerted their
utmost efforts to maintain the civil
liberty of their republic threatened
by the Magyars and by Islam. From
Venice to the Mediterranean .hcy

WHOLE WHEAT BREAD.

Many people have liked the mixed
cereal bread. Most Americans,
however like most people the world
over. have an unconquerable taste
for ne whole wheat.
There is sound physiological
reason Tor it, no doubt. Though
corn, rice, barley, etc" are good
substitutes. dictctic experts say II
is the Uniform experience OF man
kind from the earliest times that Tor
the generality Of people, and IN the
long run. no other grain or food
stuff OF any kind fills the biI so
well rs wheat
We may congratulate ourselves
then. from the standpoint OF either
nutriment or palatability, that the
dav OF compulsory substitution is
past 1t is an immediate result OF
peace. which among its countless
benefits unlocks the wheat stores OF
India. Australia and Argentina.
With shipping once more available
for long. non-military voyages, those
countries add their export surplus
TO ours OF the feeding OF Europe,
and diminish our former burden OF
supplying nearly all the wheat.
Our return to 4 whole-wheat re-
gime is a reward, too, OF our abstin-
ence the past year. BY our volun-
tary use OF substitutes we have ac-
cumulated a wheat surplus. That
surplus was to have been held as a
guarantee against future want; but
with peace assured, we do not need
to have 1t.
We shall have gone through our
war training in vain, however, II we
start in now using wheat in our
old. lavish, wasteful way. 1t will be
long time before most OF the civ
ilized populations in the world have
enough bread OF any kind.

BOLSHEVISM AMONG NEU-

1t may seem strange, at first

however. when we lool, little clos
Cr.
The furry OF bolsheyism in Switz-
crland. although sudden and m"n-
acine. soon died down. The dan
gcr there seems nearly over. SNltz-
erland. as we know, is a genuinely
democratic country, rs free as our
own. The temporary trouble was
due to deliberate efforts ON the part
OF Russian propagandists, backed
with Russian and German gold. The
poison seed found the Swiss soil
poorly adapted to its growth.
1t is much the same in Denmark
and Norway. although there the sit
uation is complicated by heavier
losses due to the war, which make
the population restive. I'm Holland
and Sweden there is distinct dit
ference.
In both these countries, despite
the freedom of their laws and in
stitutions, there is a large aristicratic
class with the strong pro-German
leanings. The court circles have
svmpathizcd with German kutur
and thc business men have made
