Fishers Blend Nov Milled
AS Before the War

From the day that Americas Finest
FIGURING Mills" began turning out FISH
Frs BLEND FLOUR until the out
break of our war with Germany, only the
very choicest part of the wheat berry was
used Ill It's manufacture. AS a result,
FISHERS BLEND FLOUR was fine
white flour of the choicest possible
quality.
When the u. s. Food Administration
took control of the milling concerns of the
country il demanded that mills manufac-
ture only such flours as retained much of
the coarser parts of the wheat berry. This
regulation gave the consumer a coarser
darker flour; at the same time, however, it
accomplished the purpose for which the
regulation was established, an increased
volume use of flour with the same volume
of wheat
With the war ended, the u. s. Food
Administration has permitted Americas
Finest FIGURING Mills" to return to the
manufacture of It's pre-war flour, hence
FISHERS BLEND is now the same
white flour as was milled before the war
for our many discriminating customers

South Seas'in the Casco in 1888 led him
straight to the Marquesas, and resulted in
the letters which were first printed in The
Sun in 1891. Like R. L. S., Mr.. 0'Brien
visited "cannibal high place.; "for-
hidden height where once "the long pig
that speaks" was eaten and the two de-
scriptions, written thirty years apart, have
curious points of resemblance
Herman Melville, too, engages Mr..
O'Brien's attention, for he paid one visit
to Typee, where the American sailor
author was captured and treated as
royal guest-and where the scenes Of his
novel of that name are laid. Here, too, a
bit of American history was made, for
Capt. David Porter, U. S. NJ once seized
the island Of Nuka-hiva, on which is the
Valley of Typee, and planted on a little
hill the Stars and Stripes. So near were
the Marquesas to being American instead
of French.
These are the more serious parts. More
entertaining are the stories the natives
told Mr.. O'Brien; the account of the visit
ing Chinaman who won all the matches on
the island at poker and how the monopoly
was broken; his call on NJ Grelet, the
Swiss. who received him in red loin
cloth and gold trimmed glasses and showed
him his plantation, which supplied his
every need save wine, tobacco and books.

WHITE SHADOWS IN THE SOUTH
SEAS. BY FREDERICK O'BRnEN. Tho
Century Company.
The sun., 1919-10-12
IS A RECORD of one happy year

spent among simple, friendly
eannibals," is Frederick O'Brien's own
description of his White Shadows in the
South Seas. A -imple cannibal might do,
but there is something more alarming in
the thought of cannibal becoming
friendly. But Mr.. O'Brien's man-eaters
had, so far as he could learn, retired from
the active practice of their profession.
1t was in the Marquesas Islands that the
author sought his cannibals, and there he
spent delightful year, or at least year
that has yielded delightful book. 1t is
frankly written for 'those who stay at
home yet dream Of foreign places" and
little in it is devoted to science from any
angle. There is more anthropophagy
than anthropology-and not much of
either.
Mr.. O'Brien found his islands, which
are off the track of travel, by schooner
and made his home in Atuona in the isl
ard known as "Bloody Hiva-oa." The pur-
chase from the schooner's hold of brass
bed, the fame of which made him great
throughout the island, and the engaging
of a valet whose name translated literally
was Exploding Eggs, were but incidents of
an arrival. E. Eggs, be it understood, was
Ii years old and drew cents day.
The Marquesans are dying race. The
white mans rum, smallpox and tuberculo-
sis and the yellow mans opium and lep-
rosy have cut them almost to nothing. A
generations or two more and they will dis
appear. The figures are startling: "a
hundred years ago there were 100000
Marquesans in these islands. Twenty
years ago there were 1000. To-day am
convinced that there remain not 2,106.
visited Hanamate, an hour from
AtuOna, where fifty years ago hundreds
of natives lived. Not one survived to
greet me-"
This is the tragedy that hangs over
the sunny islands.
Mr.. O'Brien saw much that most trav-
ellers cannot see and he tells of it enter
tainingly. He took part in the forbidden
kava drinking, forbidden because the mis-
sionaries thought it injurious and the
traders thought it interfered with the
trade in rum and opium. Kava is mar
eotic made by fermenting the chewed up
root of a pepper plant. The process isn't
pleasing, but the result: at was as if
angels bore me on cloud All toll, all
effort was over; I should never return to
care and duty"

which lays bare the whole plot Person

grudge, as there would have been no mys-

possible that there are pepole who, con-
sumed in the Italian of the story, might
have managed bit of surprise on the side.
Perhaps the author intended the heroine's
fiimsy incognito to deceive only the hero.
If so he succeeded. Gordon Galhraith
knew Francesca Valdragone at once for

peeted of course that she was the rightful
heir to all of his property.
Francesca had come back to Italy to be
