Crisp or Soft

Grape-Nuts
Delight the taste and
Nourish the body.
TEETH FALL OUT.
II Too Much Soft Food Is Used.


Dentists and physicians maintain
that if mankind always ate soft food
the teeth would finally drop out. Rea-
sonable resistance In grinding food
strengthens and adds to the life Of the
teeth.
Chewing is the method nature in
tended by which the necessary juices
can be brought out of the gums.
These facts were remembered by the
originator Of Grape-Nuts, and those
who enjoy the. new food will appreciate
how 1t Is possible to produce a food
that IS an absolute pleasure to masli-
cate. On the other hand, those who
cannot chew food, can instantly make
a soft mush Of Grape-Nuts by pouring
over some hot milk
Add to this flavor, crisp and salts
flying, a well fed feeling after the meal,
and the popularity OF Grape Nuts is
not difficult to understand.
They are made by the Postum Co.,
at Battle Creek, Mich, and sold by
drst-class grocers.

ANOTHER RUSSIAN SECT.
1t Has the Usual Number of Quser
 Beliefs.

It Has the UsuaI Number of 0user
 Beliefs.
 Another of those curious seets which are continually springing up in Russia is reported from the government of Astrakhan. They call themselves. or are called Enochites, and their beliefs are, as usual in these cases. the result of gross ignorance, combined with much reading of the Bible, says the London Standard All tokens of the imperial government are unreeognlzed by them as being the works of anti Christ, whose seal, namely. the Rus sian eagle, they find on all official pa pers and the current coin of the land. That wonderful priest, John of Kron- stadt, is for them the Prophet Elias. while the local orthodox priest is Enoch, and the appearance of these two in the flesh they regard as pres aging the end of the world. As is the custom in such cases, the police have laid hands on all members of the sect that they could, and some seventy per sons are now lying in prison. and will in the ordinary course be sent off to residence" for life in Siberia. From one point of view the frequency with which these sects keep springing up IS good sign for Russian progress, though the orthodox church cannot well afford to recognize the fact. While men read their Bibles, and however Ab- surdly or mistakenly interpret what they read for themselves, they are making progress, for the average Rus sian, even In very much more exalted circles than the poor peasants among whom these sects appear, know great deal more about the code of laws than about the Scriptures.

WHITE HOUSE CHINA.
A New Set Made and Marked fer Each

New Set Made and Marked fer Each
 Administration.
 The white house china is manufac- tured and decorated especially for the presidents house, says the New York Mail and Express. When a new ad- mlnlstTation comes in, a new set of china is made and marked with the name of the president. Of course the old china is kept the new being only of sufficient quantity to make up TOT the oreakage and loss during the last administration. The decoration of the china consists of a dark blue border. with gold tracings in shape of corn stalks and ears, while in the center of the white plate is the coat-of-arms of the United States in colors. The best or artists are employed to paint these plates, and, as each one is marked with the name of the administration. each has Ea'ue. It is often quite an in- teresting part of white house dinner for the guests while waiting for the courses to turn their plates to see to what administration they belonged. The china of the white house is in the special charge of the steward. and he IS responsible to the government for it. It Is rare that any of it gets out of the white house, and therefore the appear ance Of the two plates in the auction room last week caused comment. The price paid for them (s4 apiece) was certainly remarkably low, in view of their value to collectors.
