THE GROUND GLASS OBSESSION

Rumors' continue to appear to the
effect that ground glass has been
found in food and that an investiga-
lion is to be made by the federal
government. During the last two
or three years we have passed thru a
whole series of such nationwide
tscares." Our readers may remem-

MORE MISINFORMATION

A sickening condition of affairs
must exist at Fairfax, in this state,
where all the public school teachers
but one was refused reelection be-
cause they were loyal and in
sisted on teaching patriotism in
the schools. With such strong
pro-German sentiment as this it
would seem as tho the state author
tiles should take a hand and put
tie Fairfax schools on an Amer
lean basis, even if it came to in
terning the entire town and start
ing a new one with emigrants
from other places. - Cottonwood
County Citizen.
We do not blame Mr.. Churchill S,
very much for writing the above editorial
because almost any one else might hav
reached that conclusion from the name
in which the Fairfax episode was features
in the Twin City dailies. As matte
of fact, patriotism does not enter int,
the proposition at all. It is simply
case where the Superintendent of tn
Schools is trying to run the institution
without consulting TIE officers of tt
district, making unauthorized purchases
and other things Of like nature. We hav
this information from an absolutel
reliable source, Tie members; Of th
board decided that it was. for The hes

ings, of the finding of numerous
alleged bombs in different localities.
Today ground glass holds the stage.
Just why any intelligent spy, or even
an unintelligent German diplomat,
should choose ground glass to kill
off a, community is problenatical.
Neither has any one explained how
many enemy sympathizers are going
to avoid the alleged manipulated
- foodstuffs. >- In works on forensic
medicine and toxicology ground glass
is mentioned as mechanical poison.
When the glass is coarsely ground it
produces mechanical LESSONS OF the
lining of the gastro-intestinal canal
which become infected. Ultimately
the condition resembles catarrhal
and Eemorrhagic inflammation.
Both may result from perforation
of the stomach or bowel, or from in
lection of the wounds and extension
of the inflammation. A meal of very
finely ground glass is regarded by
some as harmless, and it has been
reported that it is even used as
remedy among the peasants OF east
ern Europe The concealing of
ground glass in flour or in sugar,
the two substances most commonly
mentioned in TIE newspapers -
any amateur psychologist can figure
out why - would necessitate that it
be ground very fine. These stories
may have certain value in keeping
the public alive to the dangers OF
the spy peril. On the other hand,
they stimulate cranks and other
unbalanced persons to 60 and do
likewise, thus lending substantial
basis to the original imaginative
stories.-Journal Of the American
Medical Association.
And here's another on the same sub
ect from the Duluth Herald, strong
oro-war daily. 1t says:
TIE 'ground glass story gets
around about every so often.
The fact that so far there is no
thoroughly authenticated case OF the
finding of ground glass in food does
not seem to discourage the story.
1t keeps right on travelling around.
There are enough things to think
about without worrying foolishly
over imaginary dangers.
Fortunately, there has been a set
investigation of the ground glass
hysteria, with encouraging results.
DR.. Douglas Summers, acting.
director of laboratories, Bellevue
and Allied Hospitals, has issued
this statement:
1--WE have investigated some of
tle.e food products, and the reports
of ground glass in them have been
traced to tire fact that, in certain
conditions Of temperature, sugar
crystallizes into minute gritty par
ticles which, taken into the mouth
of person already lowering on the
brink of panic, are apt to awaken
half-forgotten tales of those prim-
itives Of the Congo Free State who
employ finely divided glass as a
means of murder. Until greater
daintiness is impaired to the Teut-
onic touch there is no need to sus-
pect or fear the gritty particles of
sugar which sometimes separates
in such surerhuous articles of diet
as candies and jellies.
Until somebody actually finds
ground glass in sugar or other food
which, so far as we can discover,
hasn't happened yeti is best to
forget this panic-produced story and

every energy to supply them. Today, the
Overland is sold in every quarter of the
globe, regardless of the financial ability
of those who buy and drive it. There are
people driving Overlands today, right in
your own territory, who could pay five
times the price asked for it.
The point is, Overland meets every
demand. It is so refined that it lacks
no feature of the highest priced cars.
We believe the Overland is strong
enough, durable enough, comfortable
enough, fast enough, handsome enough,
economical enough for anyone.
Our contract with the Overland is
as old as the car itself. Our faith in its
worth and great value to the people in
creases with it's years. We have sold it
when people looked upon it as luxury.
Today, Iowans and Nebraskans are buy
ing it as Necessity.

But in addition to the inestimable
value of Overland good will and prestige
we have been guided by an intimate ac-
quaintance with the factory personnel,
the factory equipment, and the factory
merchandising methods. This "inner &C.
quaintance" has made us feel that Over
land Automobiles, backed by con-
scientious dealer organization, cannot
fail to bring new friends and greater
prestige to our own organization.
We believe in Overland design,
Overland mechanism, Overland produc-
ton, Overland management and Over
land ability to hold its own and keep
faith with the people in time of war or in
peace.
In our judgment the Overland has
proven its worth from one end of this
country to the other. It's builders have
studied the peoples needs and have bent

But There Is Still Another Reason

Overland Is just as old as the Overland
itself.
And now the Van Brunt Auto
mobile Co. has taken over, in addition to
its Iowa territory, the distribution in
the territory of the Overland branch in
Nebraska. i ..
We come to Omaha, not as strang-
ers, but as close neighbors whose busi-
ness is expanding with the growing pop
ularity of the Overland Car. H. L. Van
Brunt will remain in Council Bluffs and
G. w. Van Brunt will assume charge of
the Omaha business.
Omaha daily bee., 1918-01-20

r. 1t seemed quite the logical thing for
the Van Brunt Automobile Co. to assume
control Of the Nebraska territory, ada
cent to Omaha, considering the fact that
the name Van Rrunt has been connected
with the implement, carriage and auto
mobile business in this territory for the
past thirty years. People of this COM
munity should know US and our methods
by this time. We believe they do and
that our business career is above adverse
criticism. We are proud of our business
reputation.
Omaha daily bee., 1918-01-20

Thirty years ago H. H. Van Brunt
founded in Council Bluffs an implement
and carriage business, the forerunner Of
the present Van Brunt Automobile Co.
Down through the years the same ideals
have been strictly adhered to-square
dealing-truth in trade. ~, <.'
The firm has kept pace with the
modern trend of business; with the COM
ing of the automobile new line of busi-
ness was added. In 1910 the Van Brunt
Automobile Co. became the distributors
in fourteen counties of Iowa for the
Overland Car. Their connection with the

In announcing here that, while re-
tanning our Iowa territory, we are taking
over the distribution in the territory Of
the Overland branch in Nebraska, we
are emphasizing our belief in Overland
future, and further, that when you have
bought an Overland, you have done
everything possible in providing for your
needs.
Our main office is in Omaha in the
Overland building, Twentieth and Har-
ney streets, where we shall keep large
number Of cars and a heavy stock of
parts to meet all demands Of our terri
tory. .... ..
An efficient corps Of mechanics will
be employed to render first-class service
to owners. We appreciate the patronage
of Nebraskans and Iowans and shall be
glad to meet them in our place at all
times.

No Time To Be
Hating Each Other
BY Arthur z. HungerfOrd.

London. Aug 10.-'This is no
time to be hating each other for the
love of God" exclaimed a Roman Ca
tholic priest, when newcomer from
the States remarked about his work
in a Y. M. c. A hut in England.
This remark has gone up and down
the American camps in France and
England and typifies the spirit OF
Roman Catholics and Protestants
alike in working for the common
good of the American soldier.
At a great rest camp in England,
where thousands of American troops
are sent after landing to rest for six
or seven days before going on to
France, a man, who back home is a
Presbyterian minister, may be heard
urging Roman Catholic soldiers to
make their confessions and to go to
mass. More than that, he arranges
for the priest to visit the camp,
turns his office over for a confess
sional and prepares the hut for mass
at $50 Sunday morning.
This man is the Rev G. William
Russell, who was assistant pastor of
Bethlehem Presbyterian Church, in
Philadelphia. Here is a typical ex-
ample of how he looks after the
spiritual welfare of the Roman Cath
olics. 1t took place on Friday ev-
ening.
How many of you are Roman Ca
tholics?" he asked of a crowd of
soldiers gathered in a ''Y" hut. More
than half of them raised their hands.
Men, 1 have arranged for Father
Gle, an English Chaplain, to come
tomorrow night to receive your con-
LESSONS. He will use my office. He
will celebrate Mass on Sunday morn
ing at $50 in this hut Won't you
come? am a Protestant, but you
men have just escaped the perils of
the submarine. Attend mass and
then write home to your mothers or
wives or sweethearts that one of the
first things you did upon landing was
to make your confession, attend mass
and thank God for your safety. We
have a Roman Catholic secretary
here. If any of you want to meet
him you may do SO by asking for
him.
Nearly every man attended mass,
