It has been contended by many for years that impure food was the raus?' of gppOfldlcltlS, Dr. Payne, when State, chemist aome years since, examined some popu.ar brands of rl??ur in (Geor? gia, and id (hey contained eighteen per cent, ol Insoluble matter which no stomach could digest, ? Some sup? posed kaolin and oth? r White Indigest? ible materials were used. Put now comes Dr. Henry Battle. Fellow of the Royal Society of Sur geons, in a le<-ture at St. Thomas' Hospital. London, declaring it1 as his belief that the spread Of appendicitis Is due tta? the world-wide use of the American steel-rofled flour. ^ Acording to \he Athens Call, .this is I the view oj Dr. Battle: ? He- undertakes to show that the great increase in appendicitis first oc? curred In America just after the ^nUcf d*uctlf>n of steel and Iron rollers for grinding wheat, ap.d the disease first occurred in towns where rolled* Hour was used; that th< n It spread to vil? lages, and lastly to negroes who ear? lier had escaped,, and this spread .'corresponded with the spread In Ithe'j use of rolled flour. An Investigation in England was begun. The much lower cost of American flour mt:<%?-lt next to, Impossible for any grinding of dour in England. Dr. Bat^e. hob's that Iron particles are to be found,in the centdr of the app?ntlicltal concre? tions, and says that in a typical case otf appendicitis iA which an operation was performed be found in the center of the concretions nn irregular frag? ment /of iron, Jt Nashville surgeon who has' per? formed a large number of operations for appendicitis expressed his opinion of flour from modern mills was the cause of. many cases of appendicitis, and that It was his purpose to prose? cute investigations to determine the truth of the cause. The opinion of the English surgeon is at least Interesting.

Upon the survival for ~ thlrty?elght years of two somewhat fragile lads, says the Chicago Record-Herald, hangs the ultimate disposition Of a. fortune, which at that time, is like? ly to Smpunt to a round billion of dollars. According to the best estimate that is tin> approximate sum which should he available in the year 194 5 for divi? sion between Marshall and Henry Field. As the- residOary legatees of the estate, the major part of the merchant's huge fortune Is to be held In trust for them until the elder of the two boys, who Is now 13 years old. shall have attain, d the age of 50. Should both lads live until then, Marshall is to have three-fifths of the residuary estate uii' Henry, who Is two years young r than his brothor. will inherit the regaining two-nfAhs. Already the two striplings are probably the wealthiest nynor broth? er; In the world. Should both live t? re iliac the partition! of the estate un? der the terms of their grandfather's, will, thd share of each should be suf? ficient to rank him among nhe"wealth? iest men in the world. If, on the oth? er hand, either Marshall or Henry should die without ?Issue before the t year 19*45, the'survivor .of the two, .to whom under th>e will the 'deceased brother's share reverts, might easily become that visionarV/much discuss? ed , phenomenon?America's first bil? lionaire. When Marshall Field the elder died a year ago last January estimates of his fortune varied all \ the way from $100,000,000 to. $150,000,000. When the executors filed their inventory in the probate court, in January, 1907, securities all being listed at their par value, the figures totaled about $80. 000,000. and good financial authorities computed the actual value at the then market rates at about $93,000,000. Mr. Find's 34.000 shaaes of the stock of the corporation of Marshall Field & Co., the par value of which Is $3,400,000, for instance, are well known to be worth far more. Henry Clews In 1905 estimated the Field estate at $100,000?00j0, and It is argued that it must have increased since that time to $125.000,000. ' If the present value of the estate be figured at any sum between the con? servative $75,000,^00 and $100,000,000 and. multiplied by $9,454, the sum which $1 will equal if allowed only to rest and gather .6 percent semi-an nually. compounded for the thirty eight years of the trust period, the total residuary will become cloge to the billion mark. ? Estimating it now at a round $100, 000.000 and giving it only the benefit of an average of 6 per cent and with? out special regard for appreciation in the' vast real estate biddings, the to? tal residuary estate in 1945 would be $945.130,000. I This is upon the fi per cent basis.') whereas it Is practically certain that the annual income of the estate even now is $8,000,000, and it may be as high as $15,0,00,000. Jt may and probab'y will go to treble that -amount annually by the time the thirty-eight years have expired. Then, with prin? cipal adding to principal, and piling on interest semi-annually, the we?lth of the two Field boys not only will be far above the billion mark, but may\] be represented in figures more like $1,200,000.000. v Of course, as the estate grows, so will the expense of caring for jt and administering it, but fliese will be In? finitesimal as compare with the vast growth of the residuary estare.
