HOW TO TEST FLOUR

1.-THE very best test of flour is to
bake it into the form in which it Is to
be uscd,' is what every experienced
housewife will tell you. But there are
some other indications which will
show quality, before you go to the
expense of making the purchase.
These are color, odor, taste, feel and
granulatiOn.
If you have been in the habit of con-
sidering whiteness as a criterion of
good flour, you are wrong. The natural
color of -four from hard wheat is a
creamy, or slightly yellowish tinge. In
fact, dazzling whiteness is pretty
sure to indicate bleaching. A grayish
tinge usually means the presence OF
refuse matter, or that the flour has
been ground from spoiled grain. Some-
times, if you look through magnify
Ing glass, you can detect the tiny black
specks in flour of this kind.
Coed flour should have a pleasant
wheaty odor, and should taste like the
freshly ground grain. 1t should be
free from sourness and disagreable
smells.
Test your flour by gripping hand
full II II remains in the shape Of the
hand when squeezed, and retains the
impression Of the fingers, you are per-
fectly safe in buying it. But after d
moment, it should fall apart quite
readily. Squeezing is also good way
of telling hard wheat flour from soft,
as hard wheat -four falls apart more
readily.
Flour should never contain so Tauch
moisture that it can be pinched up into
pellets by the fingers. You can easily
detect dampness by thrusting the hand
into a sack of flour.
Good flour should be graduated suf-
fciently to slow some slight grittiness
when rubbed between the fingers. This
will be more characteristic, however,
of hard wheat flour than of soft. Too
much grittiness may indicate that corn
meal has been ground with it. One test
for corn admixture is to dry pinch,
but not scorch it, and rub between the
finger-tips. Pure white flour will not
then feel gritty, but corn, no matter
how finely ground, will still remain a
little rough Another test for the
presence of cornmeal is to wet a
small pinch until it is very soft, then
take it between the thumb and fingers
and try to spin thread If it spins,
all is well and good, but if it makes
only blobs on the ends of the fingers
very likely corn meal has been added.

WOMEN NEED SWAMP ROOT

Thousands of women have kidney and
bladder trouble and never suspect it,
Women's complaints often prove to be
nothing else but kidney trouble, or the
result of kidney or bladder disease.
If the kidneys are not in healthy con-
dition, they may cause the other organs
to become diseased.
Pain in the back, headache, loss of am
bition, nervousness, are often times symp-
toms of kidney trouble.
Don't delay starting treatment. DR..
Kilmer's Swamp Root, a physicians pre-
scription, obtained at any drug store, may
be just the remedy needed to overcome
such conditions.
Get medium or large size bottle inn
mediately from any drug store.
However, if you wish first to test this
great preparation send ten cents to DR..
Kilmer & Co., Binghamton, N. Y, for
sample bottle. When writing be sure and
mention this paper.-Advertisement.

URINE MINISTER BONAR LAW
1 and Lord Curzon, in the parlia-
ment debates on the kings speech,
both expressed disapproval of the
French policy. Mr.. Bonar Law said
the British troops might have to be
recalled at any hour and that this
meant the almost certain rupture of
the entente. He told Of the London
and Paris conferences, saying that
from the first he saw it would be i'm
possible to agree with France, be-
cause the French themselves had two
aims which were Incompatible. They
wanted money, but they feared to al
low Germany to become strong enough
to pay. They were determined from
the first to seize the Ruhr, although
they were going to get nothing out OF
it, but because French public opinion
would be satisfied with nothing less.
On the question of reparations the
prime minister said the French feared
TO fix any sum which the Germans
would be able to pay off in reason
able time, fearing they would then be
able to prepare for a war Of revenge.
Marquis Curzon, addressing the
lords. was equally certain that the
French policy is unsound, and closed
his speech thus

TN THE face of increasing opposition
1 from the Germans, the French are
displaying a corresponding increasing
determination to have their way in the
Ruhr. Moreover, they last week let
Great Britain know that they wished
her either to cooperate to certain
extent or get out of her way. Minis
ter of Public Works LIE Trocquer and
General Payot, in charge Of communi-
cations in the Rhineland, went to Lon
don to ask that the British turn over to
the French a strip of the occupied ter
ritcry in order to contol the direct rail
route for coal from the Ruhr. The de-
mand was rather embarrassing to the
British government, which cannot
make up its mind whether or not to
withdraw its troops entirely from the
Rhine It is believed such withdrawal
would be ordered at once were it not
for the fear that the immediate result
would be the setting up of a buffer
state there with the support Of the
French. General Cooley, command
ing the British at Colgate, favors re-
naming there as long as possible for
this reason only. 1t is said that in
recent report to Downing street
Cooley pointed out the impossible mill
tary position Of the British on the
Rhine through Mr.. Bonar Laws re-
pudiation of the French policy on oc-
cupation, warned the cabinet that the
British forces were liable to be mixed
in the French and German clashes, if
they became widespread, and drew at
tention to the fact that the French
were likely at any time to violate the
British zone by transporting poilus
across it.

TURKEY insists that her decision
l. to close the ports of Smyrna and
Ismid to allied warships is irrevoc-
able and that the vessels there must
leave at once, and the harbors are
being thickly sown with mines. But
up to date the warships have not de-
parted. nor have they been fired on.
Constantinople is still optimistic, be-
heving an agreement will be reached
soon, though each side is waiting for
the other to take the initiative for
renewal of the peace negotiations.
Turkey has called out more classes
and it is said the authorities at Adrian
ople have ordered all the old men,
women and children to vacate the city
as a precautionary measure. Mustapha
Renal and Ismet Pasha presumably
are in Angora by this time, and 1t Is
believed they would exert a pacifying
influence on the National assembly
and that the danger of hosttlities was
growing more remote. The British
government has agreed to make the
concessions which the French delegate
offered to Ismet after Lord Curzon
left Lausanne, and the allies are will
ing to yield on certain other points, so
the signing Of a peace treaty may not
be very long deferred.

IN CCUPATION of more German
~ towns by the French, the prohi-
bition of shipments of manufactured
products from the Ruhr to other parts
of Germany, arrests Of many officials
for defiance of French orders, and de-
cisive steps toward the operation of
trains by French crews marked the
week in the occupied region. First
Recklinghause and then Gelsenkir-
chen declared complete strikes against
the French, and the latter town was
fined one hundred million marks for
violation Of military orders and be-
cause of a clash in which two French
soldiers were wounded. Refusal to
pay the fine resulted in the arrest of
the leading bankers of the place. The
boycott of the French all over the
Ruhr grew more effective daily, and
the retaliatory measures increased in
severity. The French ordered all
reich and state officials to stay out
of the Ruhr because the visits of
some had resulted in stirring up more
trouble. The Berlin government de
cided to test this order by sending
two cabinet members into the terri
tory. The outcome is not known at
this writing.
One of the latest of General De
goutte's orders was that the 10000
German security police in the occupied
region should be disarmed.

majesty that inasmuch as the future
peace of Europe cannot be safeguard
ed nor the recovery of PREPARATIONS by
the operations of the French and Bel
gian governments in the Ruhr, it Is
urgently necessary to seek effective
securities against aggression by in

League Of Nations and to invite the
council of the league without delay
to appoint a commission Of experts
to report upon the capacity of Ger
many to pay reparations and upon
the best method of etfecting such pay
ments, and that in view of the recent
indications of willingness on the part
of the government Of the United States

ence to this end, the British repre-
sentative on the council of the league
should be instructed to urge that an

Copyright, by The San Antonio Light.
Washington, ID. C.. Aug. f8.-Mrs.
Calvin COolidge's cheerful disposition
threatens to curdle bit. The bright.
naive smile habitual with the first
lady, has become somewhat dimmed
these last few days of scanning head
lines which purport to detail authentic
information about her courtship, her
clothes and her chief concerns of life.
And as n result the edict has gone
forth from the Presidential suite that
Mrs. Coolidge proposes henceforth to
remain completely In the background,
exactly as did Mrs. Theodore Roose-
welt, and that no more information
about herself or interviews will be
granted.
The feminine heart of Mrs. Coolidge
clings stubbornly 10 the mystery and
illusion denied presidential families.
She resents having her tastes and in
terests so completely card-indexed.
Most of all, she resents fhe tight lit
tie classification into which she has
been put in the public mind. She is
aware that the public expects the
first thing she will do unon becoming
actual mistress of the White House
is to hasten down into the kitchen and
prepare with her own hands the Presi
dents favorite dishes.
The theme of her domesticity has
been embroidered into an absurtlity.
During all her life she has spent with
her husband iii the public eye. she
has good naturally combatted this ex-
aggeration. Frequently she has re-
marked that it has taken her long
time TO live down the statement that
she had been the only governors

tons have broken out afresh in more
