Wilson May Attend Peace Session.

In
Washington.-President Wilson, 1t Is
said, has given no indication as to
how he regards the suggestion from
high sources in Europe that he will
attend the great conference which is
to re-establish the peace Of a war
torn world. Most Of the presidents
advisers, however, are understood to
consider that acceptance of the invita-
lions would involve needless risk and
would serve no purpose that could not
be accomplished through the dele
gates who will be appointed to repre-
sent the American government and
who will be in constant comInunica-
ton with Washington.

Bread From Cotton Seed;
Provides Salad Dressing
and a Butter Substitute.

The cotton plant, upon which the
world depends SO largely for clothing,
is rapidly increasing in Importance
as food producer. Oil from the cot
ton seed, formerly almost mOnOpOliZed
by makers of high grade soap, now
appears upon the table in the form Of
palatable salad dressing and also as
lard and butter substitutes. More re-
Gently the seed has been made to yield
a flour from which bread pleasing to
the taste and as nourishing as lean
beefsteak is baked. A bakery in a
Southern city is selling 400 lOaves of
it week.
The annual value of cotton seed
products is placed at S250,0O0,OOO, one
half the output being used for food.
Farmers are now receiving $40 to $50
ton for the seed, as compared to
Sc or 81 a quarter of a century ago
The yearly crop is about 50OO,OOO
tons, a great asset to the consumer
at this time of extreme high prices
for pure lard and dairy products.

English Hereditary Offices.

Conventional epithets have once
more been used in the English news
papers about the late Lord LOndesbor-
ough's hereditary office as vice admi-
raj Of the Yorkshire coast. In reality
there are many similar appointments
in force elsewhere. The lord mayor
of Bristol is vice admiral of the chan
mel as far down as Holmes and pos
sesses an ancient silver oar, which he
is entitled to have borne before him
in virtue of his Office. By a fiction Of
medieval law all dead persons washed
up by the tide were considered 10 be-
long TO the parish In which the Mer-
chant Venturers stand, and births at
sea were registered there. Before the
organization of the royal navy had
been fully developed it was convent
ent TO intrust the interests of to
crown in regard TO the duties of ne
admiralty 20 local gentlemen. like The
Denisons of Scarborough. from which
the earls of LOnsdale derive. of suffi-
cient standing TO be immune from
sympathy with smuggling. which was
the chief difficulty in early times. For
handling maritime questions spe cial
qualifications were necessary, watch
the lord lieutenant, If he were se3ted
inland, might not possess.

BODY MAKES ITS OWN HEAT
Comes as Natural Result of Chemical
Changes Which Are Constantly
Taking Place.

The heat of our bodies is the direct
result of the chemical changes which
take place in all the tissues and or
gans of the body. Brubackers Physi-
ology says that leach contraction Of a
muscle, each act of secretion, each ex-
hibition of nerve force is accompanied
by the evolution of heat.
1.-The chemical changes" it contin-
ues, "are for the most part of the ma
ture of oxidatiOns, the union of oxygen
with the elements, carbon and hydro
gen, of the food principles either be-
fore or after they have become con-
stituents of the tissues.
1.-THE ultimate source of the body
heat is the latent or potential energy
in the food principles which was alb
sorbed from the suns energy and
stored up during the growth of the
vegetable world When the food

TAKES PLACE OF REAL EYE
Invention Of French ocuIist Invaluable
to Soldiers Who Have Suffered
Disbursement.

The high velocities and high explo-
siveness of the present-day projectiles
often result i'm facial wounds OF most
horrible appearance, In the repair OF
which the surgeons meet with extreme
difficulties. In particular, soldiers re-
turn from the line of fire not merely
with an eye shot out. but with the en-
tire lid and eye socket destroyed. and
the absence of these foundations has
often made the insertion of an arti-
fetal eye impossible.
Until the present moment there has
never existed any means for conceal
ing this Disagreement and restoring to
the unfortunate victim the appearance
of a normal man possessing two eyes.
But quite recently a French oculist,
Henri Einius, has made ii possible TO
do this even when the eyelid Is entire
~ missing.

consists of an artificial eye, equipped

rated from these attachments for

Few Senators Present to
Hear the Opening Prayer

Some time ago, when the archbishop
of York, primate of England, was in
Washington he prayed nj the opening
of a session of the senate. Most of
the senator's were present. They all
listened devoutly and attentively and
when the archbishop wound up with
the Lords prayer they joined in with
him. There is nothing very extraor-
binary or striking about this incident
until il is considered in connection
with the attendance OF the senators
on ordinary occasions when prayer is
offered in the senate chamber. Often
there are only a handful of senators
and few youthful pages present. On
one occasion only one senator and n
few pages were on hand when the
opening invocation was delivered
