In the District Court The kansas City Kan Soap Company Tears are but a fool's measure for youth, which is divine; they bring caution more often than wisdom, and a certain belief in the unreality of joy. A man is quickly disillusioned, which commonly means that he has set up his own idea of what things should be by the side of what things are, and also forever at the result. He then commits the folly of becoming old, and enters existence to life. He clambers on one or other of the many shelters that line the way, curls within and smiles pityingly at the young of all ages pressing on to some end, no matter what, alive to the beauty of the sky and the clouds and the birds and the trees, alive even to the beauty to be seen in one another, breathing deeply of the air of strength, living and loving and beloved, until at last they are made one with nature. But the heart, like the liver, grows torpid without exercise; a gradual decay comes to the man in the shelter, a decay from which he is released, much must his will, by death. There are no many shelters.—Hugh de Selinourt. TITLE POKER AT WASHINGTON. stories of Big Games Must Be Taken With Allowances. It was formerly quite the thing to tell stories about big poker games among the members of Congress. which was said the "Senatorial game" "millionaires' game" and the congressional game," and always we heard about great bunches of money changing hands, bluffs as high as the ranks of the Mississippi, and all sorts of stories. Frequently the senator, representative diplomat or rich man was named and the winnings or losses told with so much gusto as if they had really opened. There were some pleasant poker games in days gone by, and occasionally some wonderful plays, but once night, with a few interesting incidents, furnished material for a month stories. Some of those who figured in the story stories became annoyed at the curiosity they gained and abandoned her entirely. For many years now she has not been enough poker in capital to hang a story on. Earthly Glory sunbon had glory— He isn't living now; there's wonder in his story— He isn't living now; mounted pretty high, challenging was paved and great; tides of England, my, O, my! He moved at a rapid rate! he was French King Louis, too, nothing much to do he knew the seasons through— They're not living now! sure he much regretting By more than they're getting, he want more than they're getting, the men who live to-day; he across the past and mourn, he bend to labor and are sad; when that they might have been born things such as some ancients had; it seems to me, having stayed, it is to be being dust, it is to be and round to-day. E. Kiser, in Chicago Record-Herald. Food for Japanese Soldiers Rice and dried fish are the uniform food of the Japanese army in camouflage times. The rice is first used until it is thick and glutinous, but it is placed on a china slab, cut out and cut into squares. The squares are then placed in the sun to dry. They become as hard as a ship's sword, and are ready to be stored. A certain number of squares are allowed each soldier a day. All he has to do is break up a square in boiling water and add his dried fish. In a few minutes he has before him a cold soup, which to him is very good. He cannot procure boiling water at his rice square as a biscuit. man Hunt's First Portrait. One day when Holman Kunt, in his boy days, was alone in the office, a gentleman called and asked for principal on business. On the principal's return poor Hunt could not remember the caller's name, but he said, "I can't remember the gentleman's name, sir, but this is what he like." And he promptly drew a picture of the visitor which was so likeness that the principal提 his annoyance in his astonishment. heater the preachers of Atchi- will be required to diagram their thems and give plans and specifications their long range figures of speech, and the Kansas City Journal.

Then the preacher explain- He said his idea was that if such good woman went to hell there said he no hell. The Wit of Woman. Women are the inheritors of the oldest, most universal human wisdom. They have more sense than men, for the simple reason that a man has to be a specialist, and a specialist has to be a fanatic. The normal man all over the world is a hunter or a fisher or a banker or a man of letters or some silly thing. If so, he has to be a wise hunter or a wise banker. But nobody with the smallest knowledge of professional life would ever expect him to be a wise man. But his wife has to be a wise woman. She has to have an eye on everything.—G. K. Chesterton in the London Daily News. Indian Remedy for Coughs. A decoction of cherry bark and spruce bark, boiled and strained, is an old Indian remedy for coughs, which has been largely sold under various names for years by vendors of patent medicines. The white trapper nowadays dissolves spruce gum in alcohol, adds a certain proportion of the spirits to the bark mixture and sweetens the whole with maple sugar. Perhaps the most experienced chemist could not prepare a better cough syrup than this makes. Shylock's Prized Turquoise. We all remember reading of poor Shylock's despair and indignation upon learning that his turquise ring had been exchanged by the gay young Jessica for a chattering monkey, when he tells us: "It was my turquise; I had it of Leah when I was a bachelor; I would not have given it for a wilderness of monkeys." Which passage shows the antiquity of the turquise as a love-pledge. Sleeper's Real Offense. An eccentric minister caused some surprise one Sunday by declaring that he did not in the least object to people sleeping while he was preaching. A few minutes later he and his hearers were disturbed by the loud snoring of a man just below the pulpit. "Give him a tap on the head," said the minister. This was done, ineffectually, "Give him another," came the order again. Still the man slumbered. But at length by dint of much tapping and shaking, he was recalled into abashed consciousness. "You are making a wretched noise," roared the minister, leaning over the pulpit edge. "I don't mind your sleeping, but you are preventing other people from sleeping!" Selects Wife's Tollets. It is a common thing in Paris for a man to accompany his wife to the dressmaker's. The young wife who has known no gayer attire than the coming-out gown of the jesire file needs careful advice as to her toilets, and her husband, if he be a certain type of man of the world, knows how to give it. Japanese Swords Best The sword makers of Toledo and Damascus have been reputed to be the world's most famous artisans in this industry, but in Japan the swordsmiths turn out weapons whose blades are fully as green and as hard and composed of metal of as fine quality as those of the old swordsmiths. Superstitious Criminals. All criminals are great believers in dreams. Some time ago, at Manchester, a daring thief awaiting trial told a warden he had dreamed that he had seen a rainbow. From this he deduced that he would be acquitted at his trial. To everyone's surprise he was. Hunting in Japan. The Japanese, always keen sports men, used to take most of their game with goshawks and sparrow hawks. The only dogs they used were spaniels, which flushed the game. But now they are taking to dogs, and many good animals are being imported from England. Liguefiles Illuminating Gas. A German chemist named Blau has succeeded in liquefying illuminating gas. In that form it gives a good light, which is useful in country houses, railway trains, etc. It costs more than ordinary coal gas, but less than electric light.

It was first made in Bayonne, France, and was considered a very deadly weapon. The British army quickly copied it, and other nations promptly followed suit. Size of Ancient Babylon. Ancient Babylon was not such a great city as some have supposed, according to H. Valentine Geere, the archaeologist. He says: "The idea of Babylon's vastness and magnificence, to which we have become accustomed, has been practically exploded. Dr. Kodewey told me that the site of the city was larger than that of any other ancient city; but even so, the idea that it could be compared with London and its suburbs, which has been very generally held, is entirely erroneous. In point of fact, it appears that its walls were not more than eight miles in circumference. Moreover, the great palaces are shown to have been poor affairs after all, with wretchedly cramped apartments, and next to no pretensions to architectural style; and the temples were exceedingly crude buildings."

"Sugar has modified the history of Europe and of the world in more ways than one," says a writer. "Used four centuries ago, almost exclusively in the preparation of medicines, and long afterward an article of luxury only accessible to the rich, it has by enlarged production and cheapened manufacture been brought within the reach of all. The universal use of this practically pure carbohydrate, which is not only a freely burning fuel and proteid sparer, but a muscle food, increasing the power of doing work and lessening fatigue, must have had widespread and beneficial effects on the general health. Especially in the case of children, whose greed of sugar is the expression of a physiological want, has that food been valuable in conducting to growth, contentment and well-being." One of Life's Tragedies. When a bachelor sees a widow he shakes his head knowingly. When a widow sees a bachelor she shakes her head knowingly. Watching them is a spinster, who also shakes her head knowingly. Feminine Solace. Sorrow finds a fertile field in femininity. Strange, too, are the remedies sought. Many women, overtaken by calamity and grief, find a deep solace in having their photographs taken. Husband of Little Importance Among some of the ancient Mexican tribes the husband left his people and dwell with his wife's family, where he seems to have been considered of minor importance.

Greene, the copper magate, was talking to a young man about success. "The secret of success is enterprise, energy," said Col. Greene. "To be lazy, to stick always in the same old rut, that is how to make a wretched failure of your life. "I went West when I was 17, and after a spell of contracting and prospecting about Prescott, I farmed a bit in the San Pedro Valley. There was a storekeeper I used to buy my supplies from at that time who was a failure of the first water. This man's lack of enterprise was so great that people used to bring their children from miles around to study him. He was valuable as a horrible example. "There,' they would say to the youngsters, 'take warning by Manners. He is a failure. He has no enterprise. Don't grow up like him. He resembles a tortoise, doesn't he?" "Poor Manners in his sluggishness did resemble a tortoise a good deal. I sent a boy in to him one day with a pack mule to get five gallons of molasses. The boy told me afterward that when he entered the store Manners was dozing. The boy coughed and the man awoke and got up. He opened his mouth wide, and stood on tiptoe and stretched out his arms in a vast yawn. Then he said to the boy: "Wotcha want?" "Five gallons of molasses, Mr. Manners,' the boy spoke up, sharp and quick. "Wah-h-h-h,' yawned Manners again. Then as he took up the jug he grumbled: "Ain't there nobody what sells molasses in this here town but me?" PLEASURE OF EASTERN WOMEN. Their Main Occupation the Diversions of the Toilet. An eastern lady of high degree spends an amount of time over her toilet that would quite astonish the most fashionable society lady. First she has her hair dressed by her maid, who, after anointing the long, silky black locks with a little oil, made from aloe wood or cocoanut, arranges it simply in a long, smooth plait, low on the nape of the neck, and decorated either with gold or jewelled ornaments. Next the bath is prepared as hot as it can be borne, and in this the lady may stay as long as two or three hours. Soaps are not used, but, instead, there are multifarious unguents, secret preparations of the bathing women, which render the skin soft as velvet and delicately perfumed. Oftentimes the face is washed over with milk, into which has been squeezed lemon juice. The hair of the oriental woman is usually beautifully long, soft and glossy, and the way they arrange it is invariably becoming to their soft type of beauty. Perfumes are much indulged in. These are introduced in the bath and permeate the garments, but are rarely used on a handkerchief. The Foam on the Ton. Don't snuggle conceive to your bosom, my boy, Because you're on top of the wave, For here a thought that might serve alloy. To the gold of the credit you crave: The best is not always at surface, my son, And I think if to notice you'll stop, You'll observe that the good to the bottom may run. But the foam always lingers on top. I would not discourage your zeal, my dear lad; It is best to keep working away, But this funny old world often labels as bad The thing that is good in its day. In fact, I may say that it classifies wrong Some part of the great earthly crop. And I think you will note as you journey along That the foam often gets to the top. We will not mention names if you please, my dear youth. ing to teach. And this brief little anthem will stop, If you do not agree with the thing that I preach. A Polite Discharge. James Rankin Young, the new superintendent of the Dead Letter office admires politeness. "It is possible," he said recently, "to be polite always. It is possible to be polite even when discharging a drunken coachman. I know that this is so, for I have seen the thing done. "A friend of mine found himself obliged last week to get rid of his coachman for drunkenness. He summoned the man into his presence, and discharged him with this polite speech: "I fear, Montgomery, that we must part. It has been impossible for me to avoid noticing that several times during the past month you have been—er—sober. Now, I don't believe that any man can attend properly to drinking if he has driving to do, and, therefore, at the month's end you will be free to devote yourself exclusively to your chosen occupation." All Christians. In his article in the Woman's Home Companion, describing the International Sunday School Convention in Jerusalem, Doctor Devins relates the following significant incident: "An unexpected favor was received from the officers of the Russian church on the Mount of Olives. A meeting had been planned to be held near the place of the Ascension. As the leader of the meeting, the writer went to see if it could be held under the trees near the church. 'Why not?' was the reply, accompanied by a smile on the saintly face of the speaker. 'Why not? Do we not worship the same Christ?'" WIT IS NOT APPRECIATED. Glasgow, Scotland, Character Has Fun With Actors. A provincial theater in the east of Scotland is being tormented and amused at intervals by a wit among the gallery gods who insists on keeping up a running commentary on the play. He has enlivened many a dull piece by his droll interpolations, but he has also come pretty near ruining many an intensely dramatic or sentimental situation by the sudden and always apropos qualities of his interruptions. He has a high pitched, penetrating voice, and the town police, who have been on the verge of ejecting him a dozen times, say that he was a Glasgow cab driver who retired with a competence and now takes this way to give play to a wit that was once famous in the great city. On one occasion a dreary melodrama was being presented. The heroine of the play, pursued by the villain, had taken refuge in the house of her lover, who, as the hero of the play, was of course, at variance with his sweetheart's parents. The exigencies of the plot required that the irate father, sword in hand and at the head of his faithful retainers, should track the girl to the gates of the hero's treacherous and disgraceful elopement, enter the room where the scared heroine had been secreted under the table. "Wretch!" cried the furious father, "your life shall answer for this. I demand my child. Where is she." Then, shrill and startling in the expectant silence, from the gallery came the answer: "Unner the table, ye dinged lout! Dinna ye see her slipper stickin' oot!" The house was in a tumult of merriment in a moment, but it was the "angry father" himself, who ruined the situation, for he burst into immoderate laughter and the curtain fell in the middle of the act, to rise again upon an audience that could not repress its risibles for the rest of the evening. HE WANTED A MORTGAGE Swede's Experience With a Deed Had Taught Him Caution. Halvor Steenerson, Congressman from Minnesota, tells a story of a Swede who went to that state from one of the Dakotas for the purpose of buying a farm. A land agent acted as guide and informant to the Swede, who eventually found what he wanted. When the time came to make out the necessary papers, the agent asked the Swede what method he preferred to adopt in making payments. "Ay pay all. Ay haf da money," replied the Swede. "Very well, then. I'll make out the deed," said the agent. "No!" suddenly exclaimed the Swede. "Ay no want deed!" 'Why, yes, you do!" rejoined the agent, astonished. "You pay the money and you take a deed for the farm." "No, no!" earnestly asseverated the Swede. "Ay no want deed! Ay had deed oop in Dakoty. Ay pay man da money. He gif me deed. Ay gif heem mortgage. Ay tak land. By en by he get land, he get deed, he haf da money. Dees time Ay want no deed; Ay want mortgage. Ay pay da money; you gif me mortgage!"—The Sunday Magazine. Getting Posted. "I would like to ask you a question if you don't mind," said the old man in the street car to the man on his right. "Go ahead, sir." "I should like to know the meaning of the term 'History repeats itself.' I come across it most every day. How does history repeat itself? "That's easily answered," said the other. "For instance, if you should ask me what I thought of the weather I should tell you to go and be hanged to you. If we should meet a month hence and you asked me the same question over again my reply would be the same." "I think I see—I think I do," mused the old man, as he leaned back and crossed his feet. "Yes, I guess I understand, and I want to tell you that you are a durned mean jackass of a man and that history is going to repeat itself every blamed time I run across you for the next ten years to come."—Chicago News. A Gentle Thrust. James Jeffrey Roche, the new Consul to Genoa, was talking about a magazine editor. "This man," he said, "rejected some of the best of my early verse. He rejected some of the best verse of my friends. Why he is an editor I can't imagine. He certainly has no critical sense. "I indicated this to him one day. He had announced to me that he was going to get married. He had praised the lady of his choice ardently, declaring her to be a poem. "‘A poem?’ said I. “‘A poem,’ he repeated. “‘And still you do not reject her?’ I exclaimed." Winter. Soft as the plumes of sleep drifts down The pure white silence of the snow The bells make merry in the town, Where happy faces come and go. The brooding quiet of the trees, Is broken sweet, in yonder glen, By "day, day day," of chickadees And keen, sweet song of winter wren. Of glowing days some magic words Is warbled when the grosebeaks sing; And in the moaning pines is heard The whisper of returning spring Telephone Bell W. 32. W.

The telegraph line from Vienna to Chernowitz is the longest line in Europe which uses the duplex system being 630 miles long. The system was adopted a few months ago, as it was found necessary to increase the capacity of the line, which takes all the matter for Roumania, southeastern Russia and a part of Bulgaria. The system works well at present, although the line is constructed from wire instead of copper. Good Luck for Turtles at Least. The Chinese have a peculiar custom with regard to turtles, which they consider as very good joss. Almost any day one can see these creatures, some of them of huge size, being carried on board the river steamers, not to be taken to Canton for culinary purposes, but to be dumped into the sea and restored to liberty and freedom. Good luck is thought to follow—Hong Kong Press. Good to Lick Baby With Later On. I saw lately a dainty and original gift for a young mother. It was called "a measuring stick for baby," made of white wood thirty-six inches long, and marked off into inches as accurately as a tape measure. Forgetmenots were pai ted down the side, and at one end w a hole in which was a ribbon bow and loop by which to suspend it. Good Housekeeping.

Early Japanese University will surprise most readers to learn from a recent Japanese writer that there was a university in Japan in the eighth century, with schools in ethics, mathematics and history, and that text books were employed dealing with such specialties as the causes of women, veterinary surgery and materia medica. Casting a Gloom. "Yes, for local talent, it was a first rate entertainment," said the suburban resident, "and we made seven hundred dollars for the hospital fund, but there was one little hitch. The town undertaker was down for a foster solo, and he insisted on singing The Waiting for Thee.'"—New York Sun. Consider Dreams Revelations Among the people of the east a dream is considered to be a direct revelation from God, and there was in the Orient, even to-day, soothsayers, or fortune tellers, who interpret dreams, just as the soothsayers did in Bible times, and from dreams the future of the dreamer.

Especially for Women, Champion, Mich., July 24th.—(Spe- clal)—A case of especial interest to women is that of Mrs. A. Wellett, wife of a well known photographer here. It Is best given in her own words. “I could not sleep, my feet were cold and my limbs cramped,” Mrs. Wellett states. “I had an awful hard pain across my kidneys. I had to get up three or four times in the night. I was very nervous and fearfully de- spondent. “I had been troubled in this way for five years when I commenced to use Dodd's Kidney Pills, and what they caused to come from my kidneys will hardly stand description. “By the time I had finished one box of Dodd's Kidney Pills I was cured. Now I can sleep well, my limbs do not cramp, I do not get up in the night and I feel better than I have in years. I owe my health to Dodd’s Kidney Pills.” Women’s ills are caused by Dis- eased Kidneys; that’s why Dodd’s Kidney Pills always cure them.

SHOE CO. 8ST. ae ‘STAR BRAND SHOES" AIDS NATURE'S WORK EFFECT OF ACETYLENE RAY$ ON ___ GROWTH OF PLANTS. Grow to Teles Actual Weight of Those Exposed to Sunlight Only— Latest Victory for This New and Beautiful Wuminant. 23, 1.: ‘The experiments recently made at Cornell University prove that the beautiful rays from the gas, acetylene, are as effective as sunlight on the growth of plants, and this may soon become a subject for serious consider ation by all progressive cultivators of the soil. The results of the experiments are astonishing, inasmuch as they show. conclusively the great increase of growth attained by supplementing “The Light of Nature” with “The Light of Acetylene” during the hours in which the plants would otherwise be in darkness. For instance, a certain number of radish plants subjected te acetylene light during the night, grew to twice the actual weight of the same number of radishes given daylight only, all other conditions being equal, and peas had blossomed and partially matured pods with the help of acety- lene light, while without the ‘added light not ‘even buds were apparent Acetylene is already taking ite Place as an illuminant for towns from a central plant, for lighting houses, churches, schools and isolated build- ings of all kinds, and it is being used successfully for many other purposes.

A woman says: “My husband had dyspepsia when we were married and had suffered from it for several years. It was al most impossible to find anything he could eat without bad results. “L thought this was largely due te the use of coffee and persuaded him to discontinue it. He did so, and be gan to drink Postum Food Coffee. The change did him good from the begin. ning, his digestion improved; he suf fered much less from his nervousness, and when he added Grape-Nuts food to his diet he was soon entirely cured. “My friend, Mrs. — —, of Vicke burg (my former home) had become @ nervous wreck also from dyspepsia, Medizines had no effect, neither did travel help her.

In Perak unsettled disputes may be dealt with by the ordeal of diving. ‘The pleadings upon either side are sealed up in two similar bamboc tubes. Two stakes are then driven into the bed of a pool in a river, to which two boys are tied, immersed to the neck, and each holding one of the tubes. When ail is prepared, a pole stretch. ed horizontally above the heads of the boys is pressed downward, forcing both under water. Each Jad holds cut beneath the surface as long as he possibly can by gripping his post. The moment one bobs up to breathe, he is set upon, and his tube is torn from him and flung away. The other boy is led ashore, where his tube is opened, and the party whose pleadings it contains is declared by the rajah to have won the case at law.—Stray Stories. In the Land of Ah-Sing. In the Celestial Empire curious cus- toms exist literally by the thousand. On every side strange usages abound, and here we notice one peculiar little ceremony. When a man is ill, doctors, in some parts of this extraordinary land, ree. ommend the carrying out of a peculiar proceeding. A friend of the man who is unwell procures a straight branen with a few twigs and leaves at the end, hangs a mirror of polished metal on to this, and under that secures one of the sick man’s coats, ‘Thus provided he takes a short walk whilst a priest petforms a ceremony. The coat, conveyed in this way, 1s supposed to draw the disease from the sufferer. If it fails to do so, well, that = be helped. Strange Life of French Couple. A married couple (says a French paper), though they have meals at the same table, are not on speaking terms. If the wife wants to alter the dining-hour, she sends herhusband an anonymous postcard. If he is unwell, and wishes his breakfast sent up to him, he informs her by note. When the wife wants a few dollars she bor- rows them from the housemaid, who has them refunded afterwards by her master. At seasons of general re- Joicing, such as Christmas, in a burst of cordiality and forgiveness he speaks to her on the telephone from the city. ‘They would get a legal separation ex- cept for the fear of giving each other satisfaction. Record in Golden Weddings. A unique record is claimed by Sir Henr$ and Lady Bemrose, who recent- ly celebrated their golden wedding, and were in honor of that event pre sented with a handsome silver rose vase by the children and staff of the Derby deaf and dumb institution. Sir Henry, in acknowledging the gift on behalf of Lady Bemrose and himself, remarked that his father lived to cel- ebrate his golden wedding, his grand- father likewise and his great-grand- father celebrated his fiftieth anniver. sary of his wedding in 1801—London Tit-Bits.

For this reason Mr. Baysson took Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills for the cure of indigestion. “They have been my best doctor,” he says. “I was suffering from dyspepsia. The pains in my stomach after meals were almost unbearable. My sleep was very irregular and my complexion was tallow. As the result of using eight boxes of Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills, about the merits of which I learned from friends in France, I have escaped all these troubles, aud am able again totake pleasuro in eating.”” A very simple story, but if it had not been for Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills it might have boen atragic one. When dis- comfort begins with eating, fills up the intervals between meals with pain, and prevents sleep at night, there certainly cannot be much pleasure in living. A final general breaking down must be merely a question of time. ‘Mr. Joseph Baysson is a native of Aix-les-Bains, France, but now resides at No, 2439 Larkin street, San Francisco, Cal. He isone of a great number who can testify to the remarkabie efficacy of Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills in the treatment of obstinate disorders of the stomach. If you would get rid of nausea, pain or burning in the stomach, vertigo, nez- vousness, insomnia, or any of the other miseries of a dyspeptic, get rid of tha weakness of the digestive organs by the use of Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills. ‘They are sold by druggists everywhere. — Proper diet is, of course, a great aid in forwarding recovery once began, and a little book, “What to Eat and How to Eat,” may be obtained by any one who makes a request for it by writing to the Dr. Williams Medical Co., Schenectady, N.Y.

Verestchagin Did Wonderful Work with Mutilated Hand. A group of war correspondents were talking about the unhappy Russian painter, Verestchagin. “Did you ever notice his right hand?” one eaid. “Indeed, yes,” said another. “How deformed it was. It seemed incapable of creating those grim pictures.” “Verestchagin,” resumed the first correspondent, “once held up his right hand before me with a sad smile. The thumb was gone. ‘A leopard,’ he said ‘bit my thumb to the bone—it had tc be amputated.’ The middle finger stuck straight out, he could not bend it, ‘A bullet once passed through this finger, leaving it good for nothing,’ he said. Then he moved the hand about with an odd, stiff motion. . ‘Several of the small bones,’ he explained, ‘were shattered in a fall from a pony on the steppes. The muscles have been stiff ever since.’ “Verestchagin’s right hand endured much before in the end it sunk in the cold sea, but it never lost its cunning with the brush.” Uses Little Milk or Cram. The government investigators find that comparatively little milk is con: sumed in imost southern cities, The amount per capita in Richmond is not quite one-half a pint, which is about as high an average as in any other southern city, while at Pensacola it is as low as one-fifth pint, and in Me bile less than one-tenth pint. What is true of the consumption of milk is even more true of the consumption of cream. It can be said, according to these investigators, that practically no cream is sold in the south for use, as it is used in other parts of the country. For instance, they declare, that “to buy cream for use in coffee or with fruit is unheard of’—a state- ment that appears somewhat exager- ated. The making of ice cream is set down as the principal use of cream in Southern cities.—Lonisville Cour fer-Journal. Rulte:of Ola.

Some flaked breakfast foods that have thus far failed are now being adver. tised in close imitation of the Grape. Nuts advertising, thinking in that way to finally make a success of the fail- ure, But false statements of the merits of human food will never on earth build up a business, These flaked foods are not pre-digested. ‘They are not fully cocked and the starch in them is starch still, and has not been turned to sugar as claimed, Chemical analysis tells the truth and the analysis of the famous chem. ists of the world show Grape-Nuts the only prepared breakfast food in which the starch part of the wheat and barley has been transformed into sugar and therefore ready for immedi- ate digestion. Why is this true? Al the thin rolled flake foods are made by soaking the grains of wheat or oats in water, then rolling, drying and backing. These operations do not cook or pre-digest the starch, Contrasted with this pretense, ob- serve the care, method and skill in making Grape-Nuts, The barley is soaked about one hundred hours, then it is slowly warmed for some days and sprouted, the diastase being developed and part of the starch turned to sugar (and later on all of it), then the grains are baked and the sprouts stripped off. ‘Then comes grinding, sifting and mix- ing with the creamy colored flour made from white and maccaroni wheat. This mixture must be skill fully made in right proportions. ‘This blended flour contains just the ingred- tents demanded by nature to rebuild the soft gray substance in the nerve centers and brain, but how to make the food easy to digest, that was the question. It certainly would not do to mix jn drugs, for there is a certain failure sure to come to the person depending on drugs to digest food. ‘They may do for a temporary expedient, but pure food and digestible food 13 the only final resort and safe way.
