NUMEROUS
IN GERMANY
NKW YORK. Oct U\ Adulteration

plague in Germany. This statement is

the institute, said the mineralization
of food stuffs was increasing. Gypsum
and chalk are used to adulterate flour,
baking powder and spices. Sawdust,
strawdust. and nutshell dust are sold
at incredible prices as food adulter
ants. Carpenter's glue is used in the
manufacture of pudding powder, and
flour sweepings in the baking of
bread Foreign substitutes found in
the bread included flax fabrics, cotton,
wood pulp, straw and sand.
The bread of one bakery contained
thirteen per cent of copper. In pepper
was found eighty-four per cent of
ashes and two per cent of sand.
Some of the food profiteers are be
ing sent to prison as well as being
lined. In one case reported by the
Tageblatt a storekeeper in Dresden
was sentenced to one year in prison
and to pay a fine of 1!»2,2!*2 marks.

RAGTIME TUNE IS FINE
MEDICINE FOR YANKS
AN AM KRICAN HOSPITAL IN
FRANCK. Sept. 12 (by mail.) Rag
time music is great medicine, so the>
have discovered in one hospital when
a lot of Americans are recovering. It:
this hospital they organized a jaz?
hand to play on state occasions. Thor
some one had the hunch to try ragtime
on the patients.
They have one ward at this hospital
on a pavillion that used to be part ol
a casino. It is large*, airy and open
and was meant for a music hall. Tin
sergeant began arranging things foi
the evening, and that included escort
ing a piano to the ward.
Patients’ interest began to pick uj
and here and there came. ‘Hey. Sarge
what’s up this evening? Let us in or
it."
"Nothing doing. You'll see wher
the time comes." And the sergeant
went about -his work.
•Just before dusk, the jazz band slip
ped in quietly, and began to pla>
"Waikiki." Then another snappy danei
piece.
Here and there the bed covers begat
to move as a foot kept time, and head?
began to crane out of pillows with
grins on them, many from patient?
who hadn’t budged or shown any Iif*
at all for a long time.
Next, some wore sitting up. and be
fore long more were, men who’d no
been (’ft their backs since they arrived
Shoulders were swaying, and every

CRIMES GROWING FEWER
IN ENGLAND SAYS BRISI
LONDON. Oct. 16. Sir Evelyn Him
gles Brine, chairman of the Britisl
| prison commission asserts that whih
the strain of war is leading German;
; to unprecedented criminality, in Eng
j land crime is steadily decreasing.
Seventy per cent of the inmates o
! British prisons are now engaged ii
war work he said, and the number o
convictions for drunkenness in Lor
I don and thirty-six of the largest hot
oughs had fallen, since the war began
to about one-quarter of the numhe
before the war. Drastic restriction
on the liquor traffic and the faeilit;
of employment were said to he th
chief contributing factors.
The proportion of decrease in crini
in England was shown by the fac
that In lttlil one person in 536 was in:
prisoned and today only one in 1.521
The After Cure societies, working ur
der the Borstal system, were savin;
from 70 to SO per cent of juvenil
delinquents from lives of crime. Si
Evelyn said.
SURGEONS OF
THE U.S. ARMY
SHOW SPEED
WITH THK AMERICAN FORCKS j
IN FRANCK, Oct. 1»>. Within forty
minutes after arriving at an advance
station behind the firing line some of
the mobile operating units attached to
the American army are ready to re
reive wounded soldiers for major op
orations. Ordinarily the unit is sta
tioned near a base hospital to await
a call from near the firing line. It
consists of sixty two officer, fifty
nurses and nearly 200 enlisted men
and is composed of five sections each
of which is a complete operating group
with a chief surgeon, and an assistant.
Students from the University of Cleve
land and who were trained at Allen
town. Pennsylvania, compose the ma
jority of the enlisted personnel.
Having arrived behind the firing
line the unit unloads its equipment
and provides beds under canvas for
wounded men and must provide all
the accessories of a modern hospital
for immediate use. The operating pa
vilion is a tent erected over a metal
floor. The out tit includes X ray plants
and sterilizing appliances. Klectricity
for light and for operation of the X
ray outfit is supplied by a motor and
dynamo carried on a truck.
Hy these advanced methods the sur
geons are saving human lives today
in cases where a few years ago the
patient would have been counted as
mortally wounded This is partly due
t < > the fact that with this modern
equipment and swift movement the
most difficult and delicate operation
may he performed oftentimes within
| sound of the big guns along the line
of battle.
Some of the best known surgeons
i in the United States are engaged in
his work and daily and nightly are per
forming operations during battle that
would have been impossible in pre
vious wars.
