"Advices and messages from the
spirit world are always highly up
lifting and look toward the better
ment of mankind" Mrs. Fletcher
said in an interview with the Cos
mopolitan News Service.
In the future | see a universal

a manifestation of the spiritual and
not the physical. Even now those
in the living world who wish to be
guided by spirit messages may OBJ.

,Pyschic DeIving Dangerous.
Phychic communications are often
difficult of Interpretation. Spirits
of the dead are loathe to discuss
earthly affairs, preferring to limit
their messages to ETHEREAL subjects,
according to Mrs. Fletcher.
It is highly dangerous, she pointed
out, for those who delve into the
psychic to relinquish interest in ply
steal pursuits. Too great concen-
tration on the supernatural has an
unbalancing effect.
Mrs. Fletcher, besides every close
application to the study of spiritual
knowledge, devotes much atteption
to the protection Of dumb animals.
She has a number Of cats and
dogs. Her favorite pet is Little
Orphan Annie" once an alley kitten,
now the luchiest cat in Washington.

RIGOROUS
TESTS

Secretary Wallace to Butter
Your Bread and Put Real
Pep In Cayenne.
By GEORGE FRANKLIN.

Standards for bread, butter,
chocolate, cayenne pepper, and
other foods and condiments have
been fixed definitely by Secretary
Of Agriculture Wallace, effective
locally today.
Hereafter housewives will be
justified when they Indignantly
refuse to accept the dropsical loaf
of bread, the raisinless raisin loaf,
or the rye loaf that looms up a
travesty on the Volstead act.
Secretary Wallace has fixed the
quantity of moisture q baker may
legally incorporate in each loaf of
bread. Of wheat bread, rye bread,
and milk bread when the damp
ness is extracted If it exceeds SO
per cent Of the original volume
one hour after the loaf was re-
moved from the oven, it overflows
the Wallace standard and the
baker supplying it is failing to
meet the standard fixed by the
department.
Raisins for An.
In connection with raisin bread,
Secretary Wallace Is still more spe.
oific. Raisin bread to meet the
standard set by him must contain
not less than three ounces Of sound
raisins to each pound of bread.
Furthermore, it is understood that
the raisins must be so impartially
distributed that each loaf will carry
its legal quota. This regulation,
It Is declared, will eliminate the
faisin loaf with the raisin succeed
crust that has come to be classified
rs q gold brick by consumers.
washington bakers declared to-
day that the standard fixed by
Secretary Wallace will not neces-
state their making any drastic
changes in the quality of bread
baked by them. Many housewives,
however, insist that it promises u
decided Improvement in the quality
OF bread supplied them and that
they will back up the Secretary in
his efforts to improve bread quail
fly.
Recently the five-cent loaf of
proved to be q sixteen-ounce loaf.
Housewives, viewing 1t skeptically
at first, soon learned to distrust
their suspicious. The producers
stated today that since the intro
duction Of the five-cent loaf their
bread sales had increased 800 per
cent. The big loaf, they say, meets
Secretary Wallace's standard. It's
