Funeral Services for Napoleon

UucEdl SCENACCS lux N0pOACOu
A remarkable funeral service was
held for Napoleon Bonaparte in St.
Louis cathedral, New Orleans, on
December 10, 1921. Having heard
Of the emperor's demise four
months late, a group Of French citi-
zens inserted an advertisement In q
local newspaper calling on interest
ed parties to meet for planning
funeral services. It read In part:
1T belongs only to q severe and
impartial posterity to determine the
position which Napoleon viii occupy
amidst the great men Of ancient and
modern times"
Amidst official frowns, they went
ahead secretly with their plans.
Fogliardi, a distinguished artist Of
the day, designed an elaborate ceno-
taph, and on the day Of the funeral
ceremonies it was raised to an
equally impressive catafalque in the
cathedral. A cantata was written
by Davesac, and music composed
by a young Italian. A. c. Collegari,
q newcomer to the city.

American Cheese Will
Stand Aging Long Time

A Welsh rabbit made with good.
old cheese will not give anybody
nightmare.
'Old" is a relative term in cheese.
Some of the soft cheeses ripen in
month; some of the hard cheeses
are at their best only after years in
storage. The United States govern
ment, in it's purchases of American,
or Cheddar-type, cheese for distribu-
ton to relief clients, set IA weeks
as the minimum time which this
cheese should age to be fit for hui
man consumption. But this cheese
will stand aging indefinitely.
The cooking schools have taught
women to appraise food with the
eye, and green cheese does have
nice, clean. bright-looking rind,
whereas aged cheese is rather din
gy-looking.
Then, too, the average American
appears to prefer mild favors; and
green cheese hasn't had time to de-
velop flavor.
Here, however, Is a discovery
about an age-old food: ripe cheese
is mild in flavor if kept in temper
allure of As or below. This is posi-
BILE in the modern refrigerator, and
it wasn't possible until the mod
ern refrigerator was invented.
In few hours out of the chill, it
begins to pick up flavor; in couple
of days out, it is ready to go places;
and after u hours in a warm room
it may take the plate with it.
If you make a mistake and leave it
out too long to suit your taste. no
harm is done: pop it back In the
cold and the strength will subside.
All cheeses respond more or less
by varying their flavor with various
lengths of exposure to warmth, but
the American responds more relia-
bly,.

Cancer Kills 100 Daily

Stomach cancer is killing nearly
100 persons in the United States ev-
cry day, yet most Of them could be
saved if they would go to their physi-
clans at the first signs Of gastric
trouble, DR.. T. F. Mullen, San Fran
cisco surgeon, asserted.
Making a survey, DR.. Mullen
found records of only 5000 opera
tons for the removal Of stomach
ulcer in the last so years In the
United States. During that time
1,50O, 900 deaths have been listed as
due to that particular kind Of malig-
nancy. His reports appeared in Sur
gerry, Obstetrics and Gynecology,
a medical journal. He is clinical
surgeon in the University Of Califor-
mia medical school.
At any given time, DR.. Mullen
said, there are $1,000 persons in the
United States with durable cases
of stomach cancer.

Chewing Cubed Carrots
Show Efficiency of Teeth
,HoW's your CO.?

How's your CO.?
That is-how's your chewing quo
tent?
If you know the answer to that
question you will know how efficient
your teeth are-and whether there
is anything wrong with them.
You can find out through the ex-
pedient of chewing carrots-the
plain everyday raw variety.
You may check your CO. by
chewing cubed carrots and having
the result tested by efficient dental
assistants.
The test is conducted as follows:
First, you chew 10 regulation weight
ed carrots cubed (sman size); Sec
ond, you chew them Is times; third,
the residue is emptied into contain
er, rinsed 10 times through four
inch mesh screen and the residue
weighed; fourth, percentage Of
chewing capacity computed from
original weight of 10 cubes and resi-
due after rinSing 10 times.
The result will show you how good
a chewer you are and more tech
nically will show the dentist how
efficient your teeth are. Experts
can tell from the test whether your
seeth are hitting on all 80, missing
the mark-or just missing in the
socket!
Here's how you're rated: Extra
good chewing, 80 to IS per cent;
good, 80 to 80 per cent; average, rs
per cent; poor, so per cent or below.

Scientists Devise New
Treatment for Insanity

Until about seven years ago, the
pre-frontal lobes of the brain were
the least understood region of the
cerebral hemispheres. With all 9TH
er brain areas recognized for their
specific functions, such as sight and
hearing, or control of the arms or
legs, the pre-frontal lobes remained
uncharted. 1.-The silent areas" neu-
rologists called them, and save for
the necessary removal of cancerous
growth, left that part of the brain
strictly untouched.
Today it is different story. Sci
entists have learned that the frontal
lobes are the organs of imagination
and anticipation. They know, too,
that man can get alono without the
facilities of this part his brain.
And through this discovery has come
a new treatment for sufferers from
certain types Of hitherto hopeless in
sanity characterized by pathology
cal forms Of imagination and antici-
patton.
These unfortunateS may, in some
cases, be brought back to useful life
by the surgical removal of the from
tai lobeS of the brain.
The pre-frontal association areas
Of the brain are concerned with the
future. Thus they are the breeding
place of worry. The new operation,
called frontal lobotomy by brain sur
geons, is a daring attempt to re-
move the patients cares by the &C
tual destruction of their organic ORR
gin.
