Flimsy Evidence

A big bishop spoke rather caus-
tically and disparagingly about a
woman in public life who travelled
the nation and who had an excep-
tional salary. why doesn't she
wear better clothes?" he asked,
same old things season in and
out; that hat certainly's been on the
road winter and summer two solid
years" 1t had. She knew it better
than the bishop. But he just didn' t
know that her money was spent in
stead for nurses and comforts for
her sick father whom she adored.
What did new hat matter if father
needed what the cost of hat could
provide? Just judging on fimsy
evidence!
For months two people lodged
each other. Each knew the other
was naughty. unapproachable. cold
and undesirable. Finally they met.
Didn't want to; tried TO avoid it and
couldn't. Almost at once barriers
began to fall. From the dislike of
misunderstanding, they got proper
appraisals Of each other; to their
surprised satisfaction, each began
to enjoy, then to admire the other.
For the first time they saw behind
the scenes and found only what waS
good. Nearly always so!

Case of the Railroad Man

It seemed strange that the man
who lived in Washington breakfast
ed ungodly early, walked four long
blocks, took a street car across city,
then rode the tiresome train every
day to his Baltimore office. We
could all have told him how much
shorter, simpler and more sensible
for him to step into the bus in front
Of his house and out at his office;
most anybody would know enough
to do it this easier, quicker way.
Then we learned that he is of the
railroad staff and it is his profess
sional responsibility to take the
train. Buses weren't his line.
Trains were! We sat in judgment
without knowing what we were talk
ing about.
So easy to turn our imaginations
loose on any pretext or person; so
easy to see what isn't there; to
misunderstood and misinterpret; to
see the little lad fighting for an or
ange for his sick sister as ''meanest
boy in the world; so easy to be
critical instead of kind; to tangle
human threads that need straight
ening, not snarling, and thus to spoil
many lovely pattern of life.
A world of saving wisdom abides
in the old philosophy that reveals
there's so much good in the worst
of us and so much bad in the best
Of us that it scarcely behooyes any
of us to say things against the rest
of u.s." Just another way of sug-
gesting that it's better all around to
Judge not" 1t keeps things from
boomeranging on US!

Self-Risino Flours

An interesting development Of
recent years has been the self-ris-
ing fiours and other ready-to-use
mixtures. Some of these contain.
only leavener; others include
dried milk and eggs; fat; and bak-
ing powder, so that only a liquid
is needed. All are planned to save

BY WINIFRED WILLARD

MAN. orange and bunch of boys
A'A on the lower East Side Of New
York. The man tossed the orange
to see the boys scramble for it.
One chap, about 10, fought like a
young tiger, tooth and nail, eyes
flashing, face grim, fists hitting fu-
riously-all for an orange. The
man who had tossed it told his wife
at home: Il saw the meanest boy
IN the world this morning. Didn't
care for anybody or anything except
to hog an orange himself.
Business took that man later the
same day to pitifully poor room.
On cot in the corner a little girls
cheeks famed with fever and her
body was wasted with suffering. The
door flew open. In bolted that little
chap, the ''meanest boy in the
world" Breathless with running, he
tiptoed up to his sisters bed and
whispered excitedly, Here's an or
ange brung ye, Sis; fought for it
cause l thought ye'd like it." How
her eyes sparkled! Tiny hands
reached eagerly for it. Parched
little lips craved the refreshment it
offered
The man went home, sat long
slumped in his chair. Then he called
his wife and with shame and regret
struggling in his voice blurted out:
You've married the meanest man
that ever lived That little shaver
told you about. the one said was
the meanest boy in the world. fought
for my orange to take to his sick
sister and I'm lookin for somebody
to kick me round the block!" He
didn't know the whole story before
he sat in judgment; that's all.

White and Whole Wheat FIours

White flour is made chiefly from
the endosperm. Whole-wheat, en-
tire-wheat and graham f1ours are
loosely applied terms which refer
both to products made by grind
ing the wheat berry without the
removal or addition of any ingre-
dient, and also to a -four from
which part of the bran has been
removed or to which bran has
been added
One of the most prolonged dis
cuSsiOnS of the last two decades
has involved arguments for and
against the use of white or whole
wheat flour in making various
types of bread and mullins. AS a
result, many people have been
confused and misled-Often at the
expense of their enjoyment in
meals.
Here are the facts: White bread
contains important energy values,
proteins, some minerals, chiefly
potassium and phosphorus, and
when made with milk, it also sup
plies some calcium. It is easily
and almost completely digested,
tests indicating an average di-
gestibility of 90 per cent.
Bread and other bakery prod
ucts made from whole wheat flour
also contain proteins and carbohy
drates, plus good amounts of iron,
copper, phosphorus and potassi-
um; and vitamins A, B and G.
The whole grain products are
less completely digested than
those which are highly refined,
however, SO some of their nutri-
ents may be lost to the body.
When the two types of -four are
considered as sources of protein
and energy alone, they are re-
garded by nutritionists as practi-
cally interchangeable. Whole
wheat -four is conceded to be rich
er in minerals and vitamins. but
where white bread is preferred,
these elements easily can be sup
piled from other sources.
AS matter of fact, foods made
from both types of flour belong in.
the well-balanced diet, where they
add variety and splendid food val
ues at minimum cost. And it
goes without saying that for many
purposes, only white flour is suit
able.

Shape of Bottles

Did you ever pause to wonder how
bottles reached their present shape?
There's not much news of them pri-
or to A. D. 1900 In fact they were
so scarce and valuable that they
were regarded as works of art, and
had the date Of manufa cture
stamped on them. In the Eight
eenth century the shapes changed,
necks became shorter, and the bot
tom pushed upwards, bell-shaped.
Later, says Pearson's London Week
ly, the sides became straighter, the
necks shorter, and the bottom.
came up even farther. The first
clear. or fancy-colored bottles were
made by the Dutch, and later COP
led by Baron Stiegel, in America. In
l765 appeared smelling-salt bottles
with shoppers, not corks. And in
1925 came the round and octagon
liquor TASKS.

Questions Answered

Mrs. F. B. L.-Flour should be
stored in moderately cool, dry.
well ventilated place, and should
be protected from vermin and in
sects. 1t should not be exposed to
excessive heat, nor to freezing
temperatures. =.
Miss F. B.-You are right! Rye
flour is next to wheat in populari-
ty, though it is usually mixed with
wheat in making bread. Flcurs
or meals are also made from po-
tatoes, bananas, soy beans, lima
beans, buckwheat, barley and
rice, though the percentage is
small compared to the amount
made from wheat.

A Symbol of PROGRESS


1t is tribute to American en-
terprise that the worlds largest
-four mills are now to be found in
this country, and that tremendous
staffs of technicians and research
chemists supervise every step iR
the preparation of the -four which
may pass through as many as II
grindings and be subjected to 1870
separatiOns.
Experts begin by checking the
quality Of the grain while it is in
transit to the mill But their work
does not end when the flour
emerges pure white in color and
unbelievably fine in texture, after
having passed through silk boiling
cloths of 100 mesh or finer. After
that, there are baking tests, day
after day, to be sure that every
sack which is sold is of uniformly
high quality.
The Coolidge examiner., 1938-10-06
Food for the World

Today, nearly three quarters OF
q billion people use wheat as food.
And modern methods of milling
have developed fiours of such SUI
perlative quality that breads are
more appetizing and more attrac-
tive than ever before: special
flours make cakes and pastries
light as the proverbial feather
and there are prepared mixes
available for biscuits, waffles,
mullins, griddle cakes, pie crust
and gingerbread.
The Coolidge examiner., 1938-10-06

and pastry flours. Bread flour is
made from wheat containing a
large amount of gluten, which
gives elasticity to a dough and
helps to make a well-piled loaf.
Pastry flour contains less gluten
and more starch and has lighter
texture that produces fine-graine6
cakes. All-purpose fiours, as their
name implies, are usually blend
of different types of wheat and
are designed for general house
hold use.

Heavy Disbursements
It was stated at the club meet
ing Saturday that approximately
$4,000 a year Is now being dis
bursed at Wrangell in old age as
sistance to men and women, both
white and Indian.
As to enforcement of city ordi-
nances the executive board approved
the following letter to the city
council as accurately presenting the
sentiment of the club women eX-
pressed in motions voted upon at
the Saturday meeting:
AT our November meeting and
again at the December meeting held
last Saturday, the matter of curfew
enforcement came up for discussion,
and a letter to the City Council was
authorized requesting that some
thing be done at once, the threat to
close the Post Office after five o.
clock having aroused the indignation
of many of our citizens.
"Emphatically, we do not want
the Post office closed, and we be-
lieve that enforcement of the cur
few ordinance will go a long way in
putting a stop to vandalism in a
public building.
LAS reported at the two club
meetings, young children are on the
street at almost any hour of the
night-alone. The specific hours of
one o'clock and four o'clock in the
morning were mentioned. Small
children are lettering in the Post
Office when they have no business
there. Cooperation between Town
and Federal officers would settle the
matter.
To close the Post Office as was
done before some time ago is to adj
nit that the officers and authorities
cannot or will not do their duty.
In either case, a disgraceful condi-
ton prevails and something should
be done about it.
THE women of the town who
have it's best interests at heart
request that all ordi-
nances pertaining to present day liv-
ing and deeency be enforced"

Harto Finds Abandoned Bear Cub
On Lower Stikine River

from promiscuous summer shooting,
although residents, also, were often
guilty of this practise.
A bear, wounded from a blast OF
bullets from a passing boat, is a
dangerous animal TO parties hap
pening to go ashore in his vicinity.
The bears are valuable as tour
list attraction and every year thous-
ands of dollars are spent in the ter
ritory by hunters and photogra-
pliers.
Born In Information
Born in Information, hairless
with eyes closed and weighing from
nine to twelve ounces, the bear
clings to the mothers breast en-
folded in her fur for several weeks
His growth is slow at first but by
the time he comes out of Information
he is we'll furred, weighs five or si1
pounds and is able to follow the
mother all over the hillside OF
wherever she goes. In the fall, the
cubs, whatever their number, der
up with the mother and the secont
year stay with her until the mating
season in July. The mother bear
have cubs every second year. At thu
first birth they usually have bu
one cub but after the second brit
it is common to have a litter O
three.
The brown bear Is species o
grizzly and they are given a wild,
berth by wolves. For that reason
there are no wolves ON Admiralty
Chichagof or Baranof islands, tn
three brown bear Islands of south
eastern Alaska.
