Those lazy, shiftless and ignorant
Negroes and equally worthless whites
who persist in tramping through the
flower beds and across the grass plots
on the Paseo, particularly in those
districts inhabited by Colored people
ought not only be arrested every time
they do so but ought to be given a
good clubbing as well that it might
percolate through their worthless
skulls that the flower beds and beauty
spots were intended for something
better than their big shiftless feet
to tramp down and destroy. Not only
the Park Board but the police de-
partment as well should make diligent
effort to %apprehend these wanton and
malicious destroyers of the beauty
spots of Kansas City.

In keeping with its usual policy of
villifying all those political candidates
whom 1t cannot use, the Star is wag-
ing its usual venomous cowardly fight
upon Judge William T. Bland who is
a candidate for Congress and who as
President of the School Board of Kan
sas City gave to the people of this
Community the most progressive and
gratifying administration School af-
fairs have ever known in this city.
The Sun predicts that the Stars cow
ardly attack will have the same eff
feet on Judge Bland that they have
had in the past and will have in this
campaign on Judge Miles Bulger Of the
Jackson county court, in that it will
increase their majorities in the pri-
maries to an overwhelming figure and
will give the thousands of Independent
voters and Republicans who believe in
the right men in the right places an
opportunity to help triumphantly elect
them to the offices to which they as
pire.

WHEAT FLOUR SUBSTITUTES.
Variety. Of Cereals Resommended by
the Department Of Agriculture.

Washing tonp April 23.-Wneat can
be conserved in the home without
hardship. with abundant crops of
other cereals many Of which may
enter into bread as a partial substitute
for wheat flour, there is no danger OF
hunger or a lack Of bread. Every
housewife is urged by the United
States department. Of agriculture to
use some substitute for wheat flour in
whatever bread, biscuits, pastry, etc,
ranks of those who are helping to win
the war.
BY the use Of such substitutes the
texture Of the bread will not always
be so pleasing, the specialists. say. and
the loaf willtnsually be smaller. In
yeast bread as much as % per cent OF
-four or meal from other grains or
from dried peas, beans, potatoes, nuts,
etc, may well be used, and as MUCH rs
so percent in quick" or hot breads
produce articles excellent in flavor<and
attractive, in appearance. Many of
these breads will have not only equal
but even greater nutritive value than
if made from wheat -four alone. In
using wheat substitutes locally grown
products should be used as far as
possible.
1t is not necessary to use these sub
stitutes always in the form Of -four or
meal. The usfe of boiled or baked
potatoes corn meal mush, cooked rice,
etc, all produce breads which COM
pare we'll with those made from the
corresponding flours or meals. This
fact provides the housewife with a
good use for leftover food and en-
ables her to prevent waste. Milk,
either whole or skinned. or the whey
remaining when cottage cheese is
made improves the quality of bread
and should be used whenever it il
available. Syrup may be used in place
of sugar and often improves the favor
of bread

Sentiment for Allies Shown at Re-
ceptiOn of Belgian Minister.
Monteyideo, March % (By NALL
President Viera's reception of the
new Belgian minister yesterday was
made the occasion for new demon
tration OF Uruguay's sentiments to-
ward the entente allies, and more
especially toward Belgium, Presi-
dent Viera, in receiving the minister
said:
Belgium, the martyr country.
with her smoking cities, her wealth.
destroyed, and her men and women
Hfnslayed, constitutes the greatest af-
rpnt which has ever been offered to
world. Her cause is the cause of
tice and humanity. To honor her
ID to love her, therefore, ought to
be imperative duties for all good
men and for all noble PEOPLES.
Hence. 1t is that Uruguay has re-
ceived the Belgian deputies who
have recently visited us on mission
from your government, with spon-
taneous manifestations of sympathy.
Hence, It is that Uruguay has taken
the side of your country. Hence. it
I Is that her fate interests us so deep
! " and that we have such faith in it.

sured that everything here is propi-
tioYs-sentiments and interests

The restrictions are contemplated in
order to- prevent the introduction into
the United States Of any tree, plant or
fruit diseases or of any injurious in
sects new to or not heretofore preva-
lent in this country. It is feared that
certain injurious plant diseases and
insect pests may gain entrance thru
the agency of ornamental and other
plants imported with earth about their
roots. There is also said to be spe-
cial danger from plants imported from
little known countries, because lack Of
information as to the insect pests or
plant diseases Of such countries makes
it Impossible safely to pass such plants
by inspection or to safeguard them by
disinfection.
Many of the most important injur-
ious insects and plant diseases have
been introduced in this country thru
such importations. Tn the other hand
there is a long list Of similarly de-
Structive insects and diseases which
have not yet gained entrance.
