kaijn speculators nro nuvisinir tuo pcomo to eonso
VX eating wheat, niul live on corn, so that all wheat in
tho United States can be sold abroad at fancy figures and
tho cost of living bo reduced at home.
Sounds fine, but the wheat is all in the hands of specu
lators. If the people ceased using it and cut off tho local
demand, the prieo of wheat would drop and tho price of
corn, also now in the hands of the speculators, would in
crease with the demand, so tho cost of living would not be
materially lessened.
It is proposed in congress that potato products be
utilized with wheat in the making of bread, as in Germany,
in order to cheapen the cost of living. But there is no
necessity of debasing the standard of bread with potato
adulterants. The United States is not at war and no rea
son exists for following the course of nations whose blood
lust has led them to starvation.'
The Volliner-Cunnnins bill now pending repeals the tax
on mixed flour, under the plea of providing cheaper broad.
As a matter of fact, it will raise the price of bread by en
abling the marketing of au adulterated product at the price
of the genuine article. Potato products bread, or corn
starch bread, will be solely in the interest of the makers of
potato products and corn starch, principally the glucose
trust. Moreover, to open the door to adulteration in the
10,000 mills of the country will necessitate an army of gov
ernment inspectors, and no amount of labelling is a reined v
for adulteration. Dr. Harvey V. Wiley, the pure food
expert, says regarding mixed Heur:
Tho worst feature of the mixed flour process, however, is not In Its
fraudulent character. Corn starch, whllo capablo ot furnishing heat and
energy for tho hard-working man. may prove a positive Injury to the
growing child. Tho whlto flour of commerce Is already denatured to tho
last degreo. Fifteen pounds ot ld-nl human foods aro extracted from
every bushel ground, and sold to tho dairy cow. Tho phosphorus nnd
other mineral salts naturally present In tho wheat aro three-fourths elimi
nated In the common process ot milling. To debase this already deterior
ated product by the addition ot twenty por cent more of puro starch Is n
crime against tho children of tho country. It will lead to Imperfect bony
development, bad teeth, rickets and oven borl berl.
Dr. "Wiley points out that instead of adulteration by
means of starchy products, whole cornmeal, whole rye
flour, unpolished and iineoated rice and whole oatmeal are
wholesome and nutritious, palatable and wholesome and
should be used extensively, under their own names, how
ever.
"When the Xew York bilkers' combine raised the price
of bread from 5 to G cents a pound loaf. Mayor Mitchel and
George "W. Perkins asked President "Wilson to declare an
embargo on the exportation of wheat as a convenient way
of passing the buck. "Without doing anything themselves
to remedy matters, they would let llson do it. Hut an
embargo on wheat would not remedy the high price of
bread. It would merely keep the wheat rotting in our ele
vators by keeping it from starving Europe, for we have
plant' of wheat.
How much bread is there in a bushel of wheat?
"Wheat is worth about $1.00 a bushel on the farm, a 70
cents a bushel raise since the war. About 70 per cent of
the wheat is made into flour, tho rest, bran, middlings, etc.,
isjili sold at a profit. Seven pounds of wheat makes nino
pounds of bread. The forty-lour pounds ot Hour made
from a bushel makes mty-seven pounds ot bread.
The wheat in a bushel costs at 5 cents a loaf $2.85, at a
pound to the loaf. At G cents to the loaf, at twelve ounces,
to the loaf, the bread costs $4.5G for a bushel of wheat.
The war added 70 cents to the cost of the wheat, the other
$3 represents what the millers, middlemen and bakers
have added.
It doesn't cost any more to make wheat into bread than
before the war broke out, but the war has furnished the
excuse for a raise in price all along the line of middlemen
between the farmer and the consumer.
NEW DRUG ACT
STOPPING SALE OF
OPIUM IN EFFECT
WASHINGTON, Mnrch I. Tho act
of congress of prohibiting all persona
from selling or giving away habit
forming drugs without n physician's
prescription or under direct Instruc
tion of n physician, was In effect to
day. Theso drugs Include opium, co
calno, leaves of any compound, manu
facture, salt derivative, or prepara
tion madu from such drugs. Homo

Men Doit Know How to Make
Love," Says Lillian Bell
(Lilinn Bell's Chats With Engaged
Girls.)
I am about to give away tho secret
of 10,000 (girls. I can do it in just
one little sentence of eight words.
Men do not know how to mnko love.
Now hero is a queer thing, and I
cull your attention to it, not because
I cans n bit whether you agree with
mc or not.
Girls nil know thut what I have
just said is true, yet few of them will
ho bravo enough to admit it to any
man.
Nor to any other girl.
Hut they will to ME.
Why?
To admit it to a man would be
either to discourogo a possible mat
inee or dinner.
To admit it to any other girl would
givo her the chance to rni-se her eye
brows and say, "Huve you Hint bad
luck? 1 haven't.' (Which would be
a no.) ""'
Hut to tell it to me is like the feel
of the kimono after the front laces
have been too tight.
Girls don't mind telling me things.
That's why I know so much about
them, And that's why I know how
men make love. Tho girls tell mo.
No. Men seldom mnko good lovers
and men never make perfect lovers.
I never could understand why a
nmn who plays a good gamo pf whint
should not know how to make lovp.
There are so many points in common.
You can play n gume of whist so
bsdly your partner will think loving
ly of uuirdor, or you enn play it with
a science which wouia innKO even
"Hoyle" respect you.
Now, I am not a good whist player.
A&k anybody who over played with
me and listen to what thoy say if
you can.
Uhey will tell you Hint I can tai;e
any number o J? trjc;8 yet I nm not
playing whist. I am just winning the
game, that is all.
If my pnrtnor says, "Let's beat
'em!' wo do. Hut it is liku saying to
a cub driver, "You muko that train."
Wc mnko the train nnd say nothing
ubout taking off a wheel or two in the
process.
Now, you must not think mo either
stupid or blundering. I play with
magnificent effrontery, but somehow
effrontery is not tho best qualifica
tion for a whist plaver. I am too
lucky at holding cards and I piny
each ono to win. I am luvibli with
trumps and often had them first hand
round.
I have no skill in delicate moves, in
finesse, in subtlety. To tell the bru
tal truth, I play rav own hand.
Could any statement sound worse
to a whist playcrf
Yet my manner of playing whist is
the way most men make love.
What!
You don't understand meT You
sny you do know how? And you
point to a perfectly satisfied sweet
heart or even a contented wife to
provo it?
I never said vou couldn't ct mar
ried. On the contrary, I stato it as my
positive conviction that any man
and any woman can marry. Nobody
who wants to marry need ho discour
aged. The process of marrying is the ens-
jest thing in tho world.
It's tho stayiug married that I am
talking about tho staying married
willingly joyfully glndly.
And that's what I said in tho first
place.
Men don't know how to mnko love,
They only know how to get mar
ried. LILLIAN HELL.
