Old Romans Regarded
Kiss as Holy Symbol

The Romans knew all there was TO
know about kisses. In the ehaste
days of the republic, however, kisses
were very solemn and holy, so much
81 that Cato. the censor, whose Ideas
ran TO the blue law variety, deprived
a senator of office because he had
kissed his wife in the presence OF
heir daughter.
When a couple were formally he
trothed the engagement was usually
sealed with a kiss in tile presence Of
the relatives. If one of the couple
died before the wedding day the other
had to return all the engagement pres
ents unless there had been this public
betrothal kiss II finally came to
have such weight that it was regarded
with nearly as much reverence as the
marriage ceremony, and after a
couple had kissed each other the en-
gagement could be broken only for
the most serious reasons nearly as
serious as grounds for divorce.
But In the latter days, under the
empire, kisses became as common as
breakfasts in Rome and when fash.
ionable woman met a fashionable
man 1t was quite the thing for him
to kiss her Among the wealthy
classes 1t became the mode for men
and women to put perfume on their
lips before they went to social gath.

HYBRID LILIES
by Stephen j. Harmeling)

A friend says | have put a damp

some new hybrid lilies by saying
thar success IS about as doubtful
as that of the COW catching the
rabbit.
Friend c, would not raise your
hopes too high. nor yet discourage
you IN your noble and glorious
work.
Let US start on the premise that
what other enthusiasts have done
in the past we can also accomplish
in the present and future. The Ties
taceum lily is supposed to be a by
brid between the Madonna lily and
the Chaleeionicum lily Whether
il was the work Of man or insect
is not known. Ii is in great de-
mand and there are not enough
bulbs in Europe or America to sup
ply this demand at $500 or more
per bulb.
There is on the market now a
new lily, a cross between the Tesla
ceum and Madonna, known as the
"White Knight. 1t is listed in
the catalogs of the big bulb deal
ers at $1,000 per bulb,
A few years ago the late Mrs.
Il. o. Baekhouse of England put
her hand TO crosS-pollinatiug lilium
Martagon album with lilium Han
soul, both rather ordinary lilies. In
this way she produced the follow
ing hybrids /. Brocade-A marbled

CHEVROLET PRODUC-
TON HEAVY IN JULY

Chevrolet production for July raised
the total volume for. the first seven
months of this year to nearly on a
par with its entire output for 1926,
in which year Chevrolet established
an all-time production record for the
manufacture of gear shift cars, ac-
Ording to figures released today by
the Chevrolet Motor Company.
Production for the month just ended
totaled 1869 units as against 3d.
993 units for July 1926, an increase of
1866 per cent. This percentage of
gain owe rthe corresponding month of
last year was greater in July than in
any other month so far in 1927. The
next highest month was February,
when this years figures revealed an
increase of CT per cent over February
1926.
July volume brings production fo1
the first seven months of this year
to 697,318 units; whereas in the en-
tire year of 1926 the total volume was
only 728,697 units, indicating that al
the present rate of output the figures
for the last year will be passed before
August gets fairly under way.

careful housewife to put the contents
into a covered vessel in the ice box
until she is ready to use them.
DR.. Daniel R. Hodgdon, former
director Industrial Education Bureau
has told us: 1T is time to discard
any prejudice that may have chung to
us, remnants of the days when the
canning of fruits and vegetables was
in the experimental stage"
Such caution on the label also re-
wives the suspicion that chemicals are
used in the canning process to pre-
serve the food, and that it is the pre-
sence of this chemical that makes it
dangerous to leave the food in con-
tact with the can after the air is
admitted. Certainly this caution would
seem to bear out this theory which
many reactionaries still cling to in
spite of the fact that the canning in
dustry invites doctors, scientists, die
titians, club women, housewives anc
college students to inspect its plan:
and mode of operation

The Housewife and the Label

NOTWITHSTANDING the fact
IN that the modern housewife at
tends lectures on household sci
ence and hears instructors state that
canned foods are merely cooked foods.
and that they are the safest and most
sanitary foods there are, and that
there is no such thing as ptomaine
poisoning, she is likely to forget it
If she finds can of food on the label
+ which is printed the caution: Emp
ty the contents of can immediately
upon opening"
The explanation of such a label is
merely that the Gamer still retains
a few notions that were prevalent in
the early days of canning, and not
that he actually believes any harm
will result in allowing the food to
remain in the open can.
The discoveries of science have &C.
tabllshed the undeniable fact of the
perfect safety and purity of canned
foods, but such a label fosters an old
and unjustified prejudice.
1t leads the consumer to think there
IS some mysterious process in the can
ming of foods which makes it imper-
ative to remove the food immediately
the can is opened, or that the tin car
itself is dangerous. AS a matter Of
fact, food left in the can after open.

No. 1 dark northern spring sold at
Minneapolis at 10c-23c over Mime
apolis September which closed July
% at $1.38, practically at same as the
previous week.
Larger offering weakened the Pa
cific coast markets. Harvesting was
in full swing in the northwest under
very favorable weather conditions.
Prices were practically unchanged at
Portland. Mills were active BUYERS
at San Francisco where No. l hard
wheat was quoted at 1925 per hun
dred pounds. Good millings wheat
was quoted at Los Angeles at S2.27-
$3.50 per 100 pounds with a good de-
mand from millers and feeders. Re-
ceipts were almost entirely from Cal
ifOrnia.
RYE: Rye held because of the
light receipts and the tight market
situation. Offerings of new crop rye
however were liberal and bids for tbis
grain to arrive in September were
from 13c-15c under spot prices. No.
2 rye was selling at the close of the
week at Minneapolis at $1.O1-S1.O3
per bushel and at Chicago at S1.1O-
Sill. The first car of new rye ar
rived at Chicago July Fl. 1t graded

CORN: Corn prices at the close of
the market July % were about &c
higher than at the corresponding time
last week. Light offerings at most
OF the markets, together with the I'M
certain new crop situation which was
slightly less favorable during the
week were Strengthening factors. No.
3 yellow corn continued to sell at
S1.OO-S1.O3 per bushel in the principal
central western markets.
OATS: Oats prices were practical
ly unchanged but the market for cash
grain was quite steady. Receipts of
old oats were light but have been
equal to market requirements. New
oats were arriving in limited quanti-
ties but the demand for them was in
active.
BARLEY: Very light receipts of
old crop barley held the market firm
for that grain. Best mailing types
were quoted at Minneapolis at Sic
83c lat Milwaukee at 84c-86c. Har-
vesting has begun in the central
states and bids for new crop barley
are around 15c below spot prices.
September barley at Minneapolis was
quoted at 69c and bids for new crop
grain at Milwaukee were 71c-72c per
bushel.
FLAX: No new features develop
ed in the flax market during the
week. The light arrival of good quail
ity flax was readily taken by the
crushers at both Minneapolis and Du-
| lutk and elevators absorbed the less
desirable qualities. No. 1 seed was
quoted at Minneapolis at $2.18-$2.25
per bushel. September prices advanc-

largely due to their two outstanding
qualities, purity and safety. These two
factors coupled with the great conven-
fence and privilege of enjoying all
sorts of things, the year around, in
season and out have made canned
foods intensely popular with the
masses"
1t is timely here to recall the state
ment of DR.. Walter H. Eddy, a noted
scientist, who when addressing the
Convention of the Medical Society of
the State of New York declared that
Canned vegetables were actually SUI
perior from the standpoint of health,
to cooked fresh vegetables. The i'm
preston that they were less healthful
is based on vitamin theory that has
been shown to be mistaken"
Dr. Milton J. Rosenau of Harvard
Medical School, Boston, Mass, has
given the housewife the greatest boon
of all in releasing her from an old and
false theory. He says:
"The term 'ptomaine poisoning is
a misnomer. Our studies at Har-
ward convinced me there is no such
term of food poisoning" Chaplin states
that 'ptomaine poisoning is a good
term to forget.
Food poisoning is not one of the
major public health problems.
Food properly preserved by heat
is sterile, and such food is the safest
food that comes to our tables. Home
i processed foods have been the chief
1 offenders on account OF incomplete
\ sterilization in the Kitchen"
