ELECTRICALLY TRAINED
ARE IN GREAT DEMAND

There is a great demand for trained
electricians. The farmer boy is taking
up electricity and finding vast field
Of employment.
This brings the conclusion that the
farmer boy has long head. He sees
the signs Of the times. Perhaps he
reads more than the city boy, and
gathers in the big things the world is
doing.
He sees that like farming, electricity
demands training. The boys in every
state are taking this view, and in for
eign countries also. The American
schools have students this year from
Mexico, Brazil, PHILIPPINE Islands,
Cuba, China, Japan, Portugal, Ireland,
Canada, Greece, and nearly all foreign
countries

DIR. WILEY WARNS
AGAINST STORAGE
No Foods Should Be Kept Over Year
Games and Fish Should Never Be
Kept in Storage.

WASHINGTON, Aug 2S.-One year is
long enough for food to be kept in cold
storage, according to DIR. Harvey W.
Wiley, father of the federal pure food
laws, who appeared yesterday before the
house agricultural committee during its
hearing of the program to check the high
cost of living.
Veal, several kinds of game and fish,
and poultry, except spring chickens,
should never be put into cold storage.
DR.. Wiley said. He maintained that food
obtainable from the producer every month
in the year should never be put in cold
storage. The only reason for doing 50,
he said, was to increase the price. He
contended that cold storage invariably
added to the cost of food, but was neces.
sary if the consumer desired balanced
diet during the year
"Shad, other varieties of fish and oys.
ters,'' said DR. Wiley, should not be
stored for months, because of their rapid
deterioration, and the efforts of many
dealers to pass off the stored articles for
the fresh product during the season Of
these foods.
Beef improves by short period OF
storage but it should not be kept longer
thai, four, or five months. Eggs, of course,
must be stored to provide supply during
the season of scarcity, but their palatabil-
sity~~ DECREASES, with the storage, They
should never be kept longer than 10

svious year should be on the market by

Butter shouldn't be kept longer than
10 months, and likewise all stored should
be on the market by June of the follow
ing year in which it is stored. Flour is
better as soon as it is milled Sweet corn
loses half it's sugar within "a hours after
it is taken from the stalk, the sugar in
that time having been turned into starch
Meats in general should not be kept long.

DR.. Wiley strongly advocated the more
extensive use of powdered milk, in place
of fresh milk
MY experiments have proven that the
powder makes excellent milk as far as
J food value is concerned he said. ct

Dr. Wiley also claimed that bread eat

use is poisonous, and the only reason
it does not produce disastrous effects is

1ERNoN KELLoGG'S book, Ger

' many in the War and after, is
the first book so far as we know pub
lisbed since the Arlnistice last November
that tells us some of the things about in
ternal conditions in Germany about which
every body was wondering and of which
there were many contradictory reports.
Generally speaking, it may be said that
most Of the statements emanating from
Germany were not SO; while much that
was suspected outside of Germany was
so.
Official lying Professor Kellogg de-
seribes as the great national sport Of the
fatherland. At the same time Under
Secretary of State Won Braun was Off
cially telling the German people that
Germany could not be starved into
breakdown by the blockade the same
Under Secretary of State Won Braun was
telling members of the American Food
Commission that Germany could not hold
out if the blockade were continued. Pro-
fessor Kellogg says: "The principal or
ganie chemist, the principal statistician
and the principal agricultural expert. Of
Germany told DIR. Taylor and me that
they knew, q year before the end, that
Germany was doomed. But these wise
Germans were few and they had to keep
silent" Comic papers we're forbidden to
Jest about the food shortage. When~the
Luxburg affair-"Versenkt ohne Spur"
was a few days old, notice was given
that all reference to it should "disap-
pear from the German press once and for
all.' The number of American troops in
France was, of course, greatly min
imized. Professor Kellogg tells of book
published in Germany since the armis-
tce by Kurt Muehsara, called HotO We
We're Lied To-"
Tur1lips seem to have come nearer to
breaking the morale Of the German
people than anything else. All travellers
and writers agree as to this. Even a
well disciplined German, it appears, will
balk at turnips three times day, and
especially at turnip marmalade and tur-
nip coffee. Professor Kellogg describes
the food situation in Germany before the
signing of the armistice as very bad. He
says he himself came out of Germany
after only few weeks there, "hungry
and upset In my insides. One simply
cannot live in health on coarse fish and
the products of a laboratory of organic
chemistry" Professor Kellogg seems to
