TELL HOW BREAD IS MADE FROM
COTTON SEED.
The Fraps Discovery Continues to At
tract Attention—Subject Treated
Humorously.
Before the war was begun and in
your own country, far from hot flung
military, a cheaper, newer and more
nourishing staff of life was invented.
Dr. George Fraps of the State Depart
ment of Chemistry of Texas, has dis
covered a way to make bread that will
make President Wilson’s new slogan
of “buy a bale of cotton” seem like a
toy idea.
Dr. Fraps has everybody who has
made and eaten the new cottonseed
bread ready to vote him into the
Presidential chair, if necessary. The
women of Texas and alsewhere are all
his lifelong and devoted adherents. If
he can be reached—like most chem
ists, he is luckily inaccesible—he will
be more than Hobsonized.
Dr. Fraps first was drawn to the
possibility of bread made of cotton
seed flour, from the fact that the food
value of wheat flour is about one-fifth
less than cottonseed flour. That is
to say, to be accurate, it is as 108 is
to 85. Moreover if a bread could be
baked of a flour made of eggs, cotton
seed flour bread would have twice the
nutritive value of the former. In
short, bread baked of cottonseed flour
is from 10 to 50 per cent more nourish
ing than rye bread, wheat bread, rice
bread or even beef.
When it is recalled that cottonseed
was for years and years regarded as
waste material and by-product of more
expense to cotton manufacture than
anything else, the multitude of new
uses for cottonseed can begin to be
appreciated.
Cottonseed bread is not only more
nourishing than wheat bread, but it
has another essential requirement for
good fodder, to wit, a delicate tang
and enticing taste. It is a golden color
with a delectable, candied flavor.
Furthermore, it is not only bread
that is made so well from cottonseed
flour, but cakes, pie dough, pastries,
zwieback, crullers, lady-fingers. The
old Southern custom of serving corn-
bread as a treat for breakfast will now
have to go away back and to bed, for
every table will hereafter groan with
cottonseed bread, cakes and pastries.
Water is considered an ingredient
in wheat flour—that takes up weight
and bulk. There is one-third less
water in cottonseed flour than in
wheat. Sanitariums often assail re
fined wheat and polished wheat flour,
because it lacks certain constituents
of an ashy or mineral nature. Even
unpolished wheat flour contains less
than 1 per cent of mineral stuff. Cot-

FARMERS DEFEAT VISITORS BY
DECISIVE SCORE OF 40-7.
A. & M. Wins Easily Against Univer^
sity—Team Shows Marked
Improvement.
A. & M. defeated Dallas U. by the
decisive score of 40 to 7. The visitors
made only one shot, and that one was
a long shot from the middle of the
field. After the first two or three
minutes of play A. & M. had it all her
way. Dallas U. fought hard, but they
were not in the same class with the
Farmers. The team improved won
derfully since the first game. The
guarding was a good deal better. The
passing was more effective and accu
rate, but the greatest improvement of
all was in the team work. The team
worked just like a clock. A number
of times the ball was in the basket
before the visitors realized that the
ball was in play. Gilfillan and “newt”
Settegast threw the largest number
of goals Gilfillan got eight and Sette
gast seven. The two Braumillers
were right on the job all the time.
They always managed to get hold of
the ball somehow and pass it down
to one of the men standing near the
basket. In fact, Nick past the ball
just as easily when there was a fel
low trying to take the ball away from
him as he did when he had a clear
field. Everett was on the job all the
time, and it was mighty seldom that a
Dallas U. man got a chance for a
goal. Barnes made the longest field
goal seen this year.

IS DISGUST BY PROMINENT
SPEAKERS.
A Word From the Student Body of
Columbia to the Student Bodies of
Other American Universities
and Colleges.
A public meeting of the students of
Columbia University was held Thurs
day, December 17, 1914, to learn the
undergraduate attitude toward increas
ed armament for America, and to ex
press disapproval of the propaganda
for militarism which has been foisted
upon the American public by vicious
and insidious war scares in the popu
lar press. Five hundred students at
tended, intense spirit was displayed,
and the sanction given the four speak
ers was complete and unanimous. It
is believed that a larger hall could
have been filled with equal success,
and that, for the purposes of anti-mili
tarist agitation and the advocacy of a
sane policy of limited armaments, def
inite organization will be justified in
this university. It is also believed that
similar spirit exists in our sister uni
versities and may be waiting only for
the opportunity of expression. For
that reason the present report of the
anti-militarist activity at Columbia has
been undertaken, and is submitted by
a committee of students chosen at the
mass meeting.
The Resolution.
“Resolved, That we, the students of
Columbia University, in mass meeting
assembled, hereby go on record before
Congress and the people of the United
States as opposed to militarism in
general and an increase in our army
and navy in particular.”
This resolution was offered by Mr.
Wayne Wellman and seconded by Mr.
Paul Douglas, and was carried with
out a dissenting vote. Another meet
ing will be held in January, at which
it is expected that the movement will
find a sound financial basis. Propa
ganda in sister institutions is confi
dently awaited by the committee.
The Speeches.
Mrs. Charlotte Perkins Gilman, the
noted feminine author, lecturer and
editor, in her remarks said: “The
theory of peace through armaments
has been exploded once for all by the
present European situation. The one
sure and definite hope of permanent
peace is the extension of the Federal
principle into international relations.
A body of federated Nations is not a
distant Utopia, but the one pressing
need today, and the only thing which
will maintain the integrity of the
smaller Nations.”
“I have been reading in the news
papers that our army was some thou
sands short of its war footing,” said
Prof. George W. Kirchwey, former
dean of the law school. “Why should
America now be required to go on a
war footing? There has never been
