Canned Goods Will Stand y- ; Little Freezing-witnout Any Appreciable Change Although the protein of the grain sorghums is less digestible than that of corn or wheat,, all of the sorghums -except kaoliang furnish a fairly good , source of protein arfd practically as of carbohydrates as the two grains in Jnost -.general use. Specialists of the United States de-. partment of agriculture, in experi ments found that the grain sorghums are worthy of use in all sections to give variety to "the diet. In regions where other cereals are not so sue-., cessfully grown, it. is pointed out, the -grain sorghums mny contribute ma terially to the supply of substances suitable as human food. . . Tests were made with kaflr, feterita, milo and kaoliang, both in the form of bread and as mush. Check tests also were, made with corn and wheat, as breads. AH six of the grains were ground into meals of the same fineness , in the same mill. In the. experiments with the breads, the averaee digesti bility of the protein of the wheat was found to be 77.3 per cent; corn, 59.9; kafir. 5li; feterita, 50.6; milo, 40; and kaoliang, 19.8. In the experi ments with mushes made from meals of the four grain sorghums, the diges tibility of the protein was about 48 per cent for feterita and kafir, ap proximately 34 pef cent for milo, and only 4 per cent for kaoliang. The di gestibility of the- carbohydrates was high for all six grains, ranging from 05.3 to 98.6 per cent. Tn nnswer to numerous inquiries as tn the iniurv which freezing does to canned goods,, the bureau of chemistry of the United States department, oi agriculture states that cold,- unless it goes below the freezing point, seems to have no bad effect. In regard to the danger of eating canned gooqs that had been frozen, the bureau of chemistry says; . "Most canned eoods will stand a little freezing without appreciable nhnmre. . Rebeated freezing and tnaw- lng cause the foods to become, flabby and gives a flat taste. ucn a cnuuge, however, does not alter the whole someness or food value of the ma terial,, but It may change the .texture, appearance, and palatahility. The ac tual damage varies with the different kinds of canned foods and in general Is somewhat similar to damage done by freezing the same food in the fresh condition. ., "All, canned goods .whether frozen or' not should be inspected for evi- Vianna nt cnniinivp. rliip to leakace or UVIILV V. . ..- w Insufficient processing. Such spoilage Is indicated by swelling of the cans and by ail unpleasant, flavor, or odor of the contents." - Halcyon Days Mean Any Term or Period of Tranquillity Halcyon days are days of peace, happiness and -prosperity ; properly the seven days before and the seven days after the winter solstice, De cember 21, the shortest, day of the veiir. Hulcvon is the undent Gri-ck . name for the kingfisher, and this bird was fabled to build its nest upon the. sea, lay its eggs and hatch them dur ing 14 days, about December 21. The sea was said to be calm during tins period and the nest floated, saiety upon It. Halcyon days now mean any term or period of tranquillity and hap piness. - , German Title of Honor." , "Von" before a name in German de notes a privilege title,' either inherited w bestowed .by a monarch upon his. subject for meritorious services. While formerly this prefix was found in mUl , tary or feudal families only, many commoners, captains of Industry, sci , eiitlsts, financiers and artists were bo honored by their monarchs. The title is either hereditary or ceases with the death of the distinguished person.

The. issue of free speech is really modern, and emerged clearly as a de fensible proposition only with Milton s AroouaEltlca. to be followed by the widely divergent reasoning of Jeremy Taylor- and Joseph Glanvil, and by Locke's classical first "Letter on Tol eration" (1689), which says almost the last word on the matter so far as re ligious differences are concerned.
