TOOK PHOTOGRAPH OF SOUL
French Scientist Declares Plates
Showed Indications of the Spirit
Leaving the Body.

Some years ago DR.. Baraduc Of
Paris attempted to photograph the
soul at the moment of its departure
from the body. at death. His wife
was lying upon a bed, and from her
body issued, at the very moment of
dissolution, three white, misty balls,
which gradually condensed and con-
sOlidated into one-being bound to-
gether, apparently by white threads,
Hereward Darlington writes in Les
lies. DR.. Baraduc took photographs,
on specially prepared plates. every
fifteen minutes for three hours after
death. and on all these plates obtained
these MISUNDERSTANDING the gradual
process of the withdrawal of the soul
from the body, and its final detach-
ment therefrom some hours later.
These photographs represent SO far
as we a see, the first successful ac-
tual photographs which have been
taken of the departure of the soul
from the body at the moment of death.
They are not, however, the first
psychic" photographs which have
been made. since Or. Durville. in
France, and others. have obtained sue
cessful markings upon Photographic
plates. of radiations issuing from the
human body. DR.. McDougall of Hav-
erhill. Mass. also, some years ago,
succeeded apparently in weighing
the soul at the moment Of death. He
found that 1t weighed about two and
q quarter ounce He placed the pa
tient. bed and oil. upon a delicate
balance. and. at the very moment Of
death. the balance showed a sudden
and unaccountable loss of between two
and two and q half ounces.

ALL OF FAMILY NOT THERE
How Many of Spaniard's Daughters
Were Missing Had to Be Left to
the Imagination.

In Spain, and particularly in the
province of Andalusia, families are so
large that even Theodore Roosevelt
would have been appalled,.
Hamilton Fyfe, the we!l-known
writer, was touring Andalusia ON
horseback one winter and Fpent the
night in a fonda near Los Boliches.
At dinner over his hominy coup, MI.
Fyfe was amazed to see the multitude
of daughters that the ~innkeeper pos
sessed.
You have a fine, a very fine FAM
lily of daughters there" he said.
"Ah, senor," said the innkeeper,
we've been very unfortunate with
our daughters. During a 1917 terral.
the chimney fell in and killed all but
eleven of them"

the high grade maintained. But this
can not be said of all American but
ter Of fine quality. Today no uni
form grades are universally adhered
to and consequently much butter has
to be marketed at lower prices than
it would otherwise bring because II
bears no brand or score Indicating its
real value.
Apply Grades More Widely.
The government has established
standards for scoring butter and any
n who will get In touch with one of
the five principal butter markets
where inspectors are maintained
Minneapolis. Chicago, New York,
Philadelphia. Boston can have his
butter inspected at small cost. What
is needed, it is claimed, is that the
federal grades be more generally ap-
piled. Not only would high-grade but
ter more generally command the price
it deserves, but many producers now
more or less Indifferent to grading
would be induced to improve the
quality Of their output.
A few weeks ago perfshable food In
spectors representing the Bureau of
Markets, United States Department of
Agriculture, were called on to inspect
4,000,0 coo pounds of butter intended for
export to a European country. The
bureau was able to certify that most
Of the butter came up to the standard
required by the exporting house. Hav-
ing received federal certificates TO
this effect the exporters could safely
proceed with their shipments to
Europe. The incident is considered
of special interest because the house
exporting the 100000 pounds had
previously had trouble with an I'M
inspected shipment abroad because 1t
did not come up to specifications. By
utilizing the federal inspection serv"
ice it was possible for these exporters
to be sure that butter accepted for
shipment was up to a certain
standard.
Standardization Promotes Efficiency.
Since the Inauguration Of federal
food inspection by the Bureau OF
Markets in 1917, an increasing number
of producers, buyers, and sellers have
come to appreciate its value, as is
indicated by the demand for inspec-
tion of perishable fruits and vege-
tables and butter. This Is a big adj
vance in the right direction, market
experts say, but UNNECESSARILY greater
benefits can be enjoyed when pro-
ducers and dealers generally come to
understand the grades which in
spectors apply, and constantly work
with them in view. Standardization
will promote efficiency, not only in
the butter industry. but in handling
most p%erishable fruits and vegetables.
With a wide acceptance of federal
grades and standards, production
could be carried on far more profit
ably and distribution far more eco
nomically than at present. Anyone
interested in this question can secure
full information by writing the

partment of Agriculture, Washington,

1t was no less a person than Shake
fspeare's Hamlet who asserted that
sthere was something rotten in Dem
mark. But whatever truth there may
have been in that assertion, American
butter interests today readily acknowl-
edge that there is nothing impure in
Denmark's butter.
Danish butter usually Is of very
good quality. That, in fact, is the
reason that dairy and butter interests
in the United States have been look
ing with a suggestion of concern
more than is deserved, perhaps-on
the importation Of Danish butter which
has been taking place at New York
recently at the rate Of several hun
sdred casks weekly, each cask weigh
ing 112 pounds. Experts use this
incident to emphasize the lesson which
Denmark's success in the butter bust
ness teaches with respect to stand
~@ardization. While perhaps the great
lest value resulting from the applica-
tion Of standards in Denmark lies in
its benefit to that country's export but
ter trade, in America a corresponding
benefit could be enjoyed in domestic
trade, since our home butter con
sumption normally far exceeds our ex-
EpOrts.
A Recognized Brand.
The Danish government has a brand
which the law provides can be placed
~on all butter meeting certain rather
,exacting requirements. This is the
brand to be found on the casks which
have been arriving at New York and
which is recognized the world over as
"a guaranty of good quality. Experts
In American dairy marketing problems
point to the value of the Danish Of
fetal mark not with the idea of adj
vocating that this government adopt
"a similar plan Of officially branding
butter, but to emphasize the value
which results from adopting recog-
rnized standards. They call attention
to the fact that America is producing
much butter which scores as high
~or higher than the Danish importa-
lions.

smiles. but TO- his establishment she
rushed straight up to Miss Westell and
threw her arms around her, bubbling

his breath in amazement.

you what the government is pro-

"They propose period Of four to
SIX months training for every boy
between the ages OF 10 and 81, the
training to occur only once in the
boys life time. 1t carries with it
no additional obligation for service.
Those are the two important things
Ito remember. If he wants to be-
come an officer he must volunteer
for the additional training.
"The training will be done very
largely under men who seVed in

over Is or 20 per cent of the train

lar army.
What are they going to DO with
your boy? You mothers are anx-
ious to know as to that. They are

him than he gets at home. First he
