Color Test Supreme.

The Florida supreme court recently
affirmed the decision Of lower court
that the color test leads the acid test
In citrus fruit In determining their
marketable condition. A large grower
undertook to ship grapefruit that
showed an average on the trees of
more than one-half colored, indlcat-
ing ripeness, under the law. An in
spector made an acid test and seized
the shipment as immature fruit. The
grower appealed to the courts. The
state authorities had held that the
color test was secondary and that the
fruit could not be shipped unless 1t
stood the acid test. The supreme
court holds that ripeness Is sufficient

LAY KAISER's FALL TO GEM
Omen That 10 Attached to
"elaxe Of Glory"

An ill-starred diamond, which last
shone as central gem In the crown OF
Prussia, Is now credited with having
been a factor In bringing about the
ruin Of the Hohenzollern dynasty. II
Is known as the "Blaze Of Glory"
According to the tale brought here
about 1t, the diamond was given ~
King Solomon to the queen Of Sheba.
having been plucked from his turban
for her adornment, writes the London
correspondent OF the New York World.
Curious carvings on two sides of II are
supposed to be heraldic tokens OF the
two ancient lovers. Copies OF the
gem were carried into Persia, where
they excited the greed of the nomad
king. El-Hakim III, who robbed the
queen of Sheba's grave to secure 1t
for himself. Within two weeks there
after he was slain In his palace. and
thereafter, through the centuries. rul-
ers and princes who acquired the gem
came to grief.
The margrave of Brandenburg.
whose house started the Prussian dy-
nasty, found the gem on Jewish mer-
chant In one of the margrave's raids
into Silesia, and seized II. declaring
he would place II In the crown of
great kingdom he was about to estab-
lish. The merchant was instantly slain
when he ventured to remind the captor
Of the evil influence Of the diamond.
II seems to have been handed down
the Prussian line until finally 1t
reached the one-tlme emperor. now In
retreat in Holland.
1t is said that Herr Zunkelhorn, a
learned antiquary, who had learned
the fateful history Of the gem and who
In some way had forecast that ruin
would come to Its owner between the
years 1918 and 1922, implored the
young emperor TO rid himself Of 1t
before his coronation. and that to this
entfeaty william replied:
"You must understand that am
crowned by the spirit Of God and the
will of my people. The Hohenzol-
lerns must endure forever. No curse
of evil can harm our dynasty"
so he kept the gem In his crown and
tradition seems TO have justified itself.

There Is great deal of truth in the

to lift iron bars, cannon balls. heavy
dumb-bells and haul himself up to

He liked II.
He spent half the night singing him

Is torn away from the hard shell OF
the nut by means Of tool similar to

the halves, with the meat exposed, are
placed over fires on racks constructed
Of wood. and are allowed to remain

need starch to give us energy to live
and work.
As q source or iron, potatoes are
equal to whole cereals and eggs when
properly cooked. The potato con-
tains hut small amount of one type
Of building material which Is very Inn
portant: that, is nitrogen; but the
amount seems to equal the average
amount found In cereals. on the basis
Of the usual servings.
Although potatoes and cereals have
good supply Of lime and phosphor-
US. they should not be depended upon
as source Of these minerals. As
lime and phosphorus are needed for
building bones and teeth as well as
regulating the body processes. they
should be supplied from milk. eggs. ie-
gumes.
One great advantage thai potatoes
have over cereals Is that they help to
keep the fluids Of the body neutral or
slightly alkaline. because OF the pOtas-
stun they contain. Those foods which
have an alkaline reaction In the It's

From all points Of view the best
methods Of preparing potatoes are by
