Concerning Jade.

A n ornament may be interesting for
something besides it's mere
beauty. and the Jade trinkets just
now in fashion have an added charm
by reason of the respect paid in other
lands to the substance of which they
are made.
The high standing of Jade is no
modern thing. The very first weights
and measures of the Chinese world.
1t appears. were computed from jade
tubes, and the earliest bars or inter
walls of music known to that nation
were determined by hollow bamboo
canes of accurate length, afterward
perpetuated in jade tubes having
stops within to be pulled out at the
will OF the player.
The Spaniards and the Mexicans
have an equal respect with the
Chinese for the stone, which they
regard as an amulet against disease.
In some instances the finder of AN
isolated piece of jade was suppo Ed
to be endowed with supernatural
powers. such a piece being regarded
as holy thing fallen from heaven.
The Chinese value their jade cary
prevailed upon to part with them,
though in times of national calamity,
such as the elimination of the war
between Japan and China, western
importers and jewellers had a chance
to buy some Of their choicest treas
ures.
In the old days in China. when an
unusually large piece Of jade was
found. the emperor called a council
Of the artists Of his empire to deter
mine into what shape It had best
be carved. as, owing to its extreme
hardness, the form selected must fol-
low somewhat the outline indicated
by the natural formation of the
specimen
The artist chosen to perform the
delicate task was not altogether to
be envied. 1t is true that IL he sue
ceeded he would be made a man
DARN, but success depended on his
work being approved after II had
been subjected to public criticism for
a whole year. II at the end Of that
time his work was condemned his re-
ward would possibly be the loss OF
his head. and certainly the loss Of
his reputation.

In q professional paper covering

Burma, Assam and Bengal, DR.. Rock
emphasizes that tho remoteness from
civilized centers Of the forests where
these trees occur, the danger and
dificulty encountered in collecting
tho seeds, which may not be found
every year. and also the conditions
under which seeds at present are col
iected by natives. would point to the
necessity Of starting plantations Of
the chaulmoogra tree. This, he says,
would assure q steady supply and a
Uniform crop and would avoid the
possibility Of having several species
confused.
It has been stated by an eminent
authority that, owing to the very en-
couraging work carried on in Hawaii
and the great success achieved in
the treatment Of leprosy with chaul-
moogra oil derivatives, the lowest

meeting of the Central Kentucky
Millers' Association held in the La

was largely attended by representa-

through the district.
At the meeting strong opposition
was encountered to bills now before
the Legislature requiring that only
certain grades of -four, known as
straight or BETTER" be used in
manufacturing bread.
Flour consumption had diminished
in the past year for some unaccount-
able reason, it was stated. Unset
tied conditions throughout the coun-
try and the fact that many country
consumers are bringing their corn to
the small mill to have it ground
were suggested as possible causes
Some bakers have complained re-
Gently that their sales were much
under those of 1920-1921, despite
the fact that -four is one of the
cheapest foods on the market at the
present time and that bakery pro-
ducts have been greatly reduced in
price.
Discussion on labor conditions,
wage reductions, wheat supplies,
condition of the growing crop, the
present cost of power and freight
rates were heard during the after
noon session. G H. Petry, of Mt
Sterling, president, presided at the
