The r. A. Durbin family of Stock
port has been observing fall
time" these last days of spring.
About a week ago Mr. Durbin fell
on the stairs at the Stockport mill,
fracturing couple of ribs, that
have caused him much discomfort.
Monday morning, in order to keep
him company, perhaps not to be
outdone, or for some other obscure
reason, his wife caught her heel on
the top step, and fell to the bottom
of the stairs, at their home. She
escaped with some painful bruises.
They are both feeling rather an

off at this poor New Jersey pie
thief. Not a word has been said
or printed regarding a solution
of a problem-and I don't queS-

this 272-pound curiosity could
pick up free pies daily from a

INSTEAD, nothing is being

There he will be starved by be-

out of durance vile with
greater longing for food than
ever. Walking along the streets
of Newark he will glimpse lus-
cious pies in the windows or on
the counters of restaurants. He
will wait impatiently till night,
break in, fill his voids with
pies, be arrested again-and go
back to prison with the same
vicious circle surrounding his
present and, of course, his fu-
ture.
I remember an instance along
somewhat similar lines which
actually was presented on the
floor of the United States
Senate. Former Senator Stevens,
of Mississippi, was seeking a
soldiers pension for an aged
constituent who had fought in
two of his country's wars. Dur

had stolen q turkey from the

Reincarn0tiOva

Reading the Times of last Fri

revival of Farewell to Arms" I
airmailed the Paramount stu
dios in Hollywood suggesting:
In order to embarass both the
Duce and Hitler that the "voices
of the departed" be radioed with
the aid of a trumpet medium
and prove rebirth to be a truth
as many Of the prosecutors of
the Jewish race have had that
type Of embodiment in the past;
that an American trumpet me
chanic and myself would have
had the opportunity in 1890 in
Paris in order to prove reincar-
nation to be a truth had not
the radio been Government con-
trolled.
When one reads the books of
Sameul, with their accounts of
the many trips Of King David
to the mediums of those days, in
order to make inquiry of the
Lord" if many Of his ventures
were going to prove successful;
and of the late Cornelius Van
derbilt having a medium num-
bered amongst his household for
a like purpose, it is to wonder
at the Jewish race enduring all
sorts Of affliction and making
a like resort.

Could Tell More

Have you ever wondered why
white bread flour costs more
than whole-wheat bread flour?
Well. the gluten, bran, starch,
ETC., must be separated in the
white; while with the whole
wheat it is just a matter of one
grinding, leaving all Of the
healthful ingredients as orig
inally intended.
Some of the bakers, to make
up the deficiency in white bread,
put in milk and butter, etc.
I recall when the recipe for
the then new Vienna bread was
sold to an old Washington baker
it called for five gallons Of milk
in the dough. When the DEM
onstrator had finished and gone
away. the proprietor, seeing the
dough mixer pouring in all this
milk as required by recipe, said:
"Cut it in half, George, cut it
in half"
Where are all the crisp,
crunchy loaves Of yesterday?
I'll tell you. The bread comes
out Of the oven steamtng hot,
runs along a conveyor to the
wrapping machine and is sealed
in that hot condition in wax
paper. No wonder its crust is
clammy and bread often nodded
inside.
In the old days it was pulled
from the over and put on dry
ing racks to cool off, then deliv.
cred to stores unwrapped. To
day the cost Of wrapping is
more than the cost Of the bread
ingredients.
Gods fresh air is the cheapest
thing left in the world, yet we
could not live the minute we are
out of it. Well, let the bread
breathe, too. I could tell you
more, but I won't.

THE matter Of this mans little

afternoon of discussion on the
Senate floor-at a cost of thou
sands of dollars-because for
mer Senator Bruce of Maryland,
a pompous and self-righteous

"honor." He succeeded in block
ing the pension despite the fact
that the then junior Senator
from Maryland, Millard Tyd-
ings, declared that he himself,
as a soldier, had Swiped more
than one turkey from a cook
house.
The story of the blocked pen
sion hit the front pages Of the
newspapers all over the country
and the American legion in
Maryland made such a to-do
over it with Bruce that the lat
ter, with election day drawing
near, took the Senate floor,
asked reconsideration of the
matter and then withdrew his
objection.
The Mississippian got his pen

streams of their greenery

resulted in fewer trout. Mr..
Colonial, because of more

land. Nature had provided
for all these emergencies
with her plan of having the

deer, the coyote keeping the
rabbit in his place and the
trout supplied with it's

TASTY MEDICINE

Did you ever get into a
group of more than six peo-
pie that someone in the gath
ering didn't turn out to be a
complainer? Never saw it
fail that some person didn't
have to bring on an ailment
or two to discuss in public
and when they cover one dis
ease they usually have an
other to take its place.
Seems to most observers that
the folks who have the most
wrong with them are the
quietest about their ailments.
And if medicine was pleas
anter to take something
warns us that there would
be more people enjoying ill
nesses. Doctors and hospi-
tails will benefit if they can
find a way of improving the
taste of the stuff they serve
