It is an assured fact that the con-
ditions in wheat and flour now pre-
vailing must be changed in order to
feed the many millions in the im-
porting countries of the Old World
who are now depending upon the
United States for” supplies. The
market at Chicago has shown be-
yond a doubt that the huying power
is much than the selling

Destroying Cherished Illusions.
Scientific experts are never so coms
pletely happy as when they are de-
stroying illusions which we have cher-
ished from our childhood.
A sunburned skin, which we are
all so anxious to bring back to town
at the end of August, is the latest
thing to be condemned as unhealthy.
Apparently “a nice healthy tan” mere-
ly means that its proud wearer has
been exposing himself too rashly to
the influence of the ultra-violet rays—
which is condemned as by no means a
healthy process.
Another illusion shattered by the
same expert is that the pallor of the
man who is “something in the city”
is always due to overwork or to the
struggle to keep out of the bank
ruptey court. He is only pale because
the cloud of soot which hangs over
the city keeps out the ultra-violet
rays, which would otherwise alter his
