CEREAL FOOD MAKING.
Cooked Grains Are Separated, Pnssea
Between Rollers and Flat
tened Into Flakes.

The superintendent OF a much -ad-
vertised breakfast food recently stated
that he ate a pound Of his product
every day.
you see, our brand is q new one, ("
he explained to friend. II want to
see that every package is up to the top
standard before it leaves the factory;
so taste lot Of the stuff to see IL the
men are making it correctly"
According 10 this superintendent,
cereal breakfast foods do not require
very much complicated machinery.
The first process is to wash the
grains Of the cereal out of which the
thin flakes are to be made. Then 1t is
steamed for several hours In big cal
drons, the bottoms of which have holes
in them like sieve.
The next step Is to transfer the
cooked grains from the vessels to q
series of nat. perforated sifters, and
the mushy mixture Of grains is forced
through in such a way that different
grains are separated and stand out dis
tinctly from one another.
At this stage the grains are passed
between great metal rollers, which fiat
ten them into flakes.
These flakes, still containing consid-
cradle moisture. are finally dried on
wire netting by means of hot air.
Then. last of all. they are packed
into their pasteboard boxes. ready for
shipment by the case of twenty-four
boxes.
That's all there is to It," said the
superintendent.
I'm my factory we are Just making
a start. but we'll increase the size of
the plant before long. You have no
idea how easy 1t is to boom q new
breakfast food.
TO tell the truth, about the largest
expense item on our books each month
Is the price Of fancy advertising cards
and other announcements.

that little account of it in the papers the

over 80 years old, had started across the
Prairies to market with q sled load ol
hogs and when he got across the Dea
PLANES River he found there was no snow
on which to draw his pigs the rest of the

THAT was in 48, the year the Galen,

SWIMMING MADE EASY.


The majority Of bathers find more
pleasure in padding leisurely about
and sporting in the surf than in exert

to acquire any speed in the water. but
to the athlete this is rather tame. and
only muscular exertion affords satisfac-
tion. Were it not for the training neces-

doubt more people wouti enjoy the ex-
hilarating sensation of propelling
themselves rapidly through the water

Cause of Arpendiciti.

Physicians have ali along contended
that appendicitis is an Inflammation of
the appendix-the result of digestive
disturbance or of lowered vitality of the
intestinal tract. The cold food or LIQUID
has the effect of sending the blood from
the intestines, the result being that the
vitality of the tract is greatly lowered.
IL this practise is continued, the ap-
pendix soon becomes inflamed, and
case of appendicitis results 1t is con-
tended that all cases of appendicitis dur
ing the summer months are due to cold
foods and drinks. The fact that the lat
ter will bring on the disease was first
noticed by German physician. who
called the attention of his fellow prac-
titioners TO the fact. The result was that
patients were carefully watched, and
the observations of the German physi-
clans were verified. Therefore. beware

Correspondence of The Associated Press.
ST. PETERSBURG, August 6.-The No
voye Vremya, in it's issue of today, con-
tains the following statement regarding the
question of the union of the orthodox and
Anglican churches:
ION the 9Th of August the Rev. DR.. Daw-
ling. canon of the Anglican Church of Jeru-
salem, paid visit to the Rev Alexy, ex-
arch of Georgia, Caucasus, and stated to
him that he had been working for twelve
years to secure favorable solution of the
question of the union of the two churches.
He said that a translation was now be-
ing made into Russian of the answers of
the Anglican Church to the seven confess
sional questions proposed by the Greek Or
thodox Church to the Anglicans, at the con-
ference of 1899 at Constantinople This
document will be Of official character. A
translation of the Anglican prayer book IS
also being made into the Greek language.
Australian Exerience
DIR Dawling said that in 1893 a great
number of orthodox Greeks were in Mel
bourne, Australia, without a priest, and
that Gherassim, patriarch of Jerusalem,
authorized an Anglican priest to perform
sacraments for the Greeks, baptism, etc,
but that when this became known to the
other patriarchs of the east they blamed
the authorization given by Patriarch Cher
assm, and a Greek priest arriving later at
Melbourne rebaptized anew those who al
ready had been baptized by the Anglican
priest.
1T would be extremely distasteful to u.s.
concluded DR.. Dawling, IF rebaptiza ton
should be considered a condition sine qua
non of union
The exarch treasured DR.. Dawling, tell
ing him that such a practice was strange
to the Russian Church and that it would
not be difficult to agree about 1t with the
Greeks and win them over.
Russian Bishop of America.
The Right Rev. Tikhon. Russian orthodox
bishop of North America and the Aleutian
Islands, who was called to ST. Petersburg
to attend the holy synod, was present at
this converse ton. and says that on the re-
turn of the president of the holy synod,
the Most Rev. Metropolitan Anthony. to st.
petersburg a special committee would be
appointed by the holy synod for the study
of the question of the union O. the ortho-
dox and Anglican churches.
Interest of the Exarch.
The Exarch Alexy displayed the greatest
interest In DR.. Dawlng and his work. and
expressed the conviction that with the aid
of the Most Rev. Metropolitan Anthony the
question could be brought to a successful
issue. But among the obstacles the exarch
pointed out the suspiciousness of the lower
classes toward heterodox confessions
Between us, said the exarch we can
easily arrive at an understanding, but will
the people understand US? That is the
problem with which we must deal in order
that union may not be followed by a new
disunion.
Dr.. DAwling was evidently satisfied with
his conference with Exarch Alexy and
Bishop Tkhon.

being detained as contract laborerS and
many others are expected on steamer
Of the White Star Line due at New York
in a day or two. The men are Welsh
coal miners and came to the United States
under an alleged agreement to work for
the Ellsworth Coal Co. at Ellsworth. Pa.
They We're induced to come to this cOun-
try by a firm in South Wales. their atten-
ton being attracted by the following ad-
vertisement inserted in several Welsh
newspapers by Jones Brothers of Ponty-

Evidence, both oral and documentary,
discovered by the immigration inspectors
at Philadelphia, indicates that many min
ers came to the United States under
agreement to work for the Ellsworth Coal
Co. at stipulated wages. Jones Brothers
were the Welsh agents of the company
and to many of the immigrants they gave
cards guaranteeing them work with the
company at wages stated in the agents

The situation of some of the imported,
miners is serious. Many of them have
requested the bureau of immigration to
send them back to Wales. as they say the
agreement under which they came here
has not been kept.
