The German' Research Institute for the tobacco industry, located at Grimma, near Leipzig, has applied for a patent to .protect its newly per fected process of bleaching tobacco leaves. Dr. Christian Ulrich. snea.k- ing for the Institute, claims that treatment of tobacco leaves after the new method will improve them in several respects. Dark Reaves will be, converted into lighter shades, the latter being in overwhelming de mand; thir aroma' will De improved, their combustleness increased and a lar&e ?aIt of the nicotine will be (extracted. The process has been made available, that is, firms, can Duy tne. ngnt to apply it for-3.000 .vil:-' it mKes oniy a halt hour to apply tne treatment to the leaves. Raw tcbaccoo is used. Derferablv.

After tne treatment has been aoDlied the a tobacco is wet, but it is not neces- sary to drY lt firstJ one may roll it limiicuiaicij'. al is ciaimec tne treat ment does not' impair the elasticity and flexibility of the leaves. The process is also to applied When mouldy leaves are to he re stored to usefulness. ' The Germans expect to use this new method in or der to make their domestic tobacco more palatable, for German grown tobacco is not only dark in shade but also contains a rather strong charge of nicotine. In addition, the Germans expect to treat Sumatra wrappers in a similar manner, be cause most of the Sumatra wrappers are too dark - for the German taste. Besides, it is. claimed,-Sumarra wrap pers are too strong for German smo kers who4 generally prefer a mild cigar.

TOO LATE SAYS SENATOR GLASS The League Covenant Contained the Very Essence Of the Sermon On the Mount.

As I wrote ; a preacher -friend of mine in Virginia the other day, the chucrh is getting. religion too late. " Its awakening should, have come when the greatest Christian statesman of ail time summoned the nations of the earth to enter into a convent which contained the very essence of the ermon on the Mount, , and was the consummation, as, far as Christian nations could contrive, of . the sacri fice on Calvary." JUST HOW MANY BEANS ". CAN A HUNGRY MAN EAT? c A New York City restaurant keep er promises to satisfy the : appetite and fill to his capacity with beans any man who comes into his place. And all for the sum of fifteen cents. V At first glance it looks as though the restaurant .keeper stands to lose on this offer, but it is safe to say that nine out of ten or hla patrons will fall far short in their capacity for beans f rom. taking, hls profit a way from him. The tehthnjan nlay eat so many beans that tnerewill be no profit to the server, bujt his offer is attracting so much business to his place that he can afford to forego the profit on one dish of beans out of -every- ten. . . - . . 1921 . .

We are told that there are now 245 students en rolled and a pleasing' feature 6f the enrollment is that there is 12' more boys enrolled than ' there are girls. Heretofore, the jirls hatt abut 2 to 1 on the; boys in the eiiibllmenti biit T1nbluTM'varrule''' the girls have better lessons thanthe boys. This is accounted for in the fact that the girls stay at home after school and prepare their lessons, wiiil the boys are allowed to go where they please and-do as they please. The parents are responsible for this con dition of affairs and they "should lend their cooperation to the teach ers in seeing that ' the 6ys give more attention to 'their studies while out of the school room. creedmoor Times. :.' .; :. . CREEDMOOR TO HAVE A NEAV POST MASTER SOON . It was generally understood that Lawyer McDuffie, a very nice gentle man, but unfortunately a republican, could be postmaster of Creedmoor for the asking, - but it does now ap pear that Mr. McDuffie is not a can didate. The Creedmoor Times says: 'The report is current that the name of Mr. R. O. Smith nas been sent to the United States Senate for confirmation as post master for Creedmoor to succeed Mr. E. K. Morris who has held the position for the past several yea'r&. his commis sion having expired- :; some months ago.

There were - a number of aspirants , for the position, all good men, but Mr. Smith made the best record in the examination held some months ago.
