ony TR B By Woods Hutchinson, A, M., M. D, In nearly every form of manufacturing anywhere from two to five and even ten Or fifteen different grades and kinde of Faw materfals have to be combined to strengthen one another and neutralize one another or blend with one another in yuch a way as to produce the required fabric or substance or machine To take a simple example, the different brands of flour are made by blending in various proportions the different num bers and grades and qualities of wheat. And as even a given grade of winter or #pring wheat from the same region will Vary greatly in different years, according | to the weather and the season, it requires & great deal of skill and judgment and sxperience to combine these different | Wwheats In such a way as to produce a | varticular standard of whiteness and £00d dough-making and gas-retention flavor, to say nothing of nutritive value. Formerly, this delicate and extremely important wora was done simply by rule | of thumb by some expert of long experi- | ence, and often very successfully. Now the chemist comes on the scene, takes samples of the perfect finished flour | (which, as may not be generally known, has been carefully tested by baking in test loaves in various temperatures and under various conditions, and put to the final “proof of the pudding,” the eating, | before it will be branded and sold under | & certain honorable name), and analyzes | it, finds out the percentage of gluten and &lladin, percentage of starch, of the va- rious salts, of water, of the constituents Wwhich have to do with its absorption of water and holding of gas in bread-mak- ing, and in a short time hands to the practical milling expert a precise work- Ing formula in chemical terms for his famous product. | They the different wheats are taken as they are bought in the market or come into the mill and a like careful analysis ls made of each one of these. One is deficlent in gluten, but strong in starch. Another is deficlent in certain salts. An- other, again, has undergone certain | changes In its envelope which will be | likely to give a bad color to the flour | when combined with other brands. The whole group is carefully analyzed |shackle place which could hardly yield | and graded according to the amounts of the constituents desired in the final mix- ture which each contains. Then a pre scription is written, such and such a per cent of No. red winter, 8o much No. 1| spring, 8o much northern Manitoba, so | much Oregon red, and the result is al- most certain. Of if it be, say, a paper mill, which | desires to produce a given grade of Wrapping paper, of a certain weight per vard, and a certain toughness as meas- | ured by the amount of pull (expressed | in pounds) which it wili resist before tearing. A sample of paper which ful- fills these requirements is dissolved and analyzed. Then the different pulps, wood, straw, rag, hemp, are worked out, the qualities of each one placed upon a chemical basis, and again a préscription is written of the proportional mixture of each one of the two, three, five, whic. may be necessary, which will give the proper blend to produce the desired re- | sults. !

Today the chemist is called in, and by skiliful mixing of other metals, nickel, vanadium, etc, the steel Is glven quali- ties which even the purest and finest | iron could never be made to yield; and every step in the process, the preclse number of degrees of heat to which it Is 3 2 In-Shoot The man who listens to your story is never is the bore class.

A frank recognition and adoption | of this in our schemes of education and f Industrial organization {s the most urgent and wonderfully helptul step in cIght at present By BEATRICE FAIRFAX. Too many of us are held by phantoms of our past. Too many of us sacrifice ideals. Life s growth and unless we move With it we must make of our own existence a tragedy. “And the way to end dreams is to break them, stand, walk, go," said Robert Browning. In that line of poetry lies & wonderful sermon against ylelding yourself to the filusions of your past. Life is a ghost-ridden thing for many people. I knew once a man who lHved in his 0ld homestead, a tumbledown, ram- our lives to outworn him a living. His farm was not fertile and his talents did not lie in the direc- tion of raising chickens or running a dairy or of making & good living off his ancestral acres. mental feeling for the old place, where had lived, and for years he Insisting on refusing all sorts of wonderful offers from a real estate company which wanted to build a park along the line of his place. Then he fell in love with a girl and could not afford to marry. He let her youth go by while she sat walting for him to make good. He was ghost- haunted, held by phantoms of the past. At last he was forced to give up the old place t6 a rafiroadl wileh wanted the right-of-way. At the age of 40 he found himself in possession of $10,000 and with absolutely no business training. There was nothing to say that the dreamer he had proven himself to be should become a power in the world of men, and yet suddenly all the latent strength developed. Today at the age of 5 he is a happy husband and father and one of the “big men™ of a large western city. But the girl who waited died be- fore the ghosts that haunted him had been exorcised and his house of life had been made habitable. Too many of us are hideously held by some traditfon. It may be loyalty to a place; it may be an accustomed way of doing things; it may even be an attempt Ghosts that Haunt Us But he had a senti- | to keep faith wits an outworn love. We fancy ourselves fettered and shackled | and the links that hold us are rusty and | | ready to fall apart at a touch. It is a hideous thing that life should be handicapped by an outgrown past, It is ghastly that one's future should be bulilt on a tissue of lles. The only honest thing to do is to face the present—if it is marred by circumstances rising out of & past to which one has a sentimental desire to be loval, the acid test of com- mon sense must be brought to bear at \once. Progress demands that none of us live in a house of {llusions! Who would light his house with candles because his grand- father had used tallow dips or read by the flickering light of gas when he can | | have steadying burners or | were unknown. all the dlscoveries of a modern world sclence. Why not take advantage of every dis- covery you make about yourself and your own world? If you are tied to an outworn love, to an outworn method of doing things, to a place in life you find uncon- | genial, or even to a profession you were | mistaken to take up, make a clean broast. —and make it at once. Lay the ghosts of your past. They need not haunt your life it you have the courage to figure out what in honesty and fairness to yourself, and 80 in honesty and fairness to the rest of the world, you want to do. “To thine own self be true; thou canst | not then be false to any man” In living today according to the standards of ten years ago you are utterly false to yourself as you are today, and it Is with that self you must feel. You would not at twenty-eight insist on being a toe dancer or a vendor of peanuts because at elghteen those had looked like ideal ocou- pations. Apply that principle all through your lite, for the ghosts of your past will haunt you only if you sit weakly and impotently by and permit them to vcontrol your life, Hundreds would be pleased to de 1311-1313 Farnam St. Hear Nebrask Corner 15th and The man who imagines that he is In on the ground floor of an investment fre- | quently finds that he has been dumpndl ‘ato the cellar.
