tWenty-four. Here. is another general
law, laid down by a newspaper reader:
IF Mary was at any time in her life
twice as old as Ann, she will always
continue to be twice as old.'' It is all
very we'll, except that one pities the
poor girl of four, with a two-year-
old sister, who is doomed to be forty
eight when her sister is twenty-four.
The curious fact is that all these hun

at wrong answers, back them up to

New York Evening Post.
The Minneapolis Journal has the
following algebraical solution of this
problem:
Merely because it is being heralded
as an extremely difficult problem,
lot of people are vexing their brains
over the respective ages of the famous
sisters Mary and Ann.
AS matter of fact, the sisters have
never worried over the problem and
there is small necessity for other peo-
pie to bother about it.
The problem is thus stated:
Mary is "a years old.
She is twice as old as Ann was when
Mary was as old as Mary is now.
How old is Ann?
The proposition is susceptible of
demonstration by several methods,
but algebra affords as clear solution
as any. It is here given in order to
prevent Journal readers from becom-
ing entangled in uselessly prolonged
and vexatious discussions.
Let equal AIMS age.
The difference between the ages of
the two girls is a constant quantity.
The difference is now represented by
the expression "24 minus x.''
But Mary is now twice as old as
Ann was when Mary was as old as
Ann is now.
That is, Ann as II years old when
Mary was X years old. So that the
difference in their ages at that time
would be represented by the express
sion * minus 12.''
Equating these two expressions we
have:
Twenty-four x equals minus II.
Solving this by the well-known meth
cd, it is found that TX equals SO or x
equals Is, which is AIMS age. Thus
when Mary was Is, Ann was II, or
just half as old as Mary is now.

Value of a Creamery.

TO a casual observer a creamery
doesn't appear to be much of an insti.
tuition in a town. But it is. It gives
the farmers a cash market for their
milk and eggs at top notch prices.
Take it here in Elk River. You see a
few farmers around the creamery, but
you don't realize that they are receiv.
ing over 1000 every month for milk
and eggs-enough over two thousand
to make the total for the year at least
$50, 600. For the month of September
the price paid here for butter fat was
nineteen cents. Yes, creamery is a
mighty good thing for a town and for
the farmers.-Elk River Star-News.

Corn Feeds.

A representative of one of the large
corn milling concerns some time ago
delivered an address before the Kan
sas Improved Stock Breeders asso-
citation, and among other things re-
ferred to the use of the bran and
gluten of corn for feeding live stock.
The bran, which is left on the silk
frames or shakers after the corn has
been subjected to the milling process
for starch and other products, is thor
oughly washed by sprinklers to free it
from the adhering starch. It is then
removed to large revolving drums
heated by steam and thoroughly dried,
after which it is ready for the market
as bran or to be mixed with the
gluten.
Next the gluten, which was left in
large settling tanks mixed with large
percentage of water, is taken up. The
water is syphoned off and the gluten
pressed into cakes about three feet
square,; these cakes are then broken
and passed into dryers, after which a
small percentage of bran is added and
the whole finely ground and redried.
This is the gluten feed of commerce.
This product is also highly concen-
trated and almost wholly digestible.
A single ton contains the gluten and
bran of more than four tons of the
raw grain.-American Miller.

"Graft" VS.. Work.

OEdlL vs. '" OK.
What is the philosophy of graft?
TO get all one can without caring to
give value received. It is relic of
the predatory stage of development
the days when riches rather than
achievement was the measure of Sue.
cess.
The philosophy of graft is being un-
dermined by physiology and psychol-
ogy as we'll as by ethics. Certainly
every normal man wants money, the
goods of life that money can buy. But
the CRATER, the man who doesn't earn
that money, misses half his life. The
man who works is the man who is
healthy, hopeful, happy as we'll as
moral. The man who does not work
becomes unhealthy, morbid. He re-
sorts to vice, because he lacks the ex-
pulsive interests of creative work. It
is not merely that he occasionally
runs into Folk or Jerome, but he
misses the pleasure of doing things
worth while.
There is a Joy in workmanship. An
artisan will tell with pride of the
building he has put up or the machines
he has managed. There is Joy in run
ming a machine just as there is in
managing productive enterprise.
Armour kept to his office because he
enjoyed his work. He can nowhere
else SO surely get ten hours fun a
day.
A recent English writer, discussing
the sources of American industrial su-
periOrity, ascribes it to our worship
Of the machine. The machine, he
says, is the American workmaan's tin
god. He has hit on the outward ex-
preston of the Americana energy and
democratic equality. Here achieve
ment and not inheritance is sometimes
honored. Here men get what they
make, at least in rough way. Work
is worth while.
The same philosophy which de-
stroyed artificial nobility is now
reaching political graft. And the
contempt for graft is reaching to
'tinanceering," to all schemes whereby
a man gets something without produc-
ing.
1t was said that work itself is a
pleasure. This is true if one can do
something that is wanted and can do
it we'll. With technical skill he can
give his work artistic finish and gain
the artists delight in creation.
The druid ery of work comes either
from lack of skill or lack of strength.
The strength is a matter of length of
working day. The skill is matter of
industrial education.
Most people can do something USE
full if they try. All children, practi-
cally, can be trained to technical skill
which will render work an artistic en-
joyment, not drudgery.
This emphasis on Industrial train
ing in our day is not gross material
ism. 1t is the higher, more practical.
idealism, that of mastering things for
human ideals.
This is coming to an age of techni-
cal education. When all are able to
work usefully and see that is there iov
in useful work, it will cease to be the
age Of graft. "-Pioneer Press.

A Problem That Will Beat You in your

Calculations.
Wherever it may have originated,
and this is itself matter of contro-
versy, the problem concerning the
ages of Ann and Mary has caught the
country's fancy as few such things
have since Pigs in Clover" Phila-
delphia appears to be practically mad
over it, a dozen other cities are Wild
eyed, and even faraway, leisurely New
Orleans is joining in the brain-rack-
ing pastime. It is far from the pres
ent purpose to beguile any one into
ciphering into the problem, but for
the benefit of the few who may have
been confined to the house with brain
fever, here it is: Mary is twenty-four
years old. Mary is twice as old as
Ann was when Mary was as old as
Ann is now. How old is Ann? It is
perplexing only because it sounds
simple, but is really stated confusedly.
For itself, it deserves the waste basket.
but it has a secondary interest by
reason of the light it throws on the
mental processes of human things.
The answer gives AIMS age anywhere
from six to twenty-four years. AS for
reasons, they are as plenty as black
berries. Dozens of people declare
solemnly that Mary and Ann are
twins, though the slightest attempt to
''prove' this shows it does not fulfill
the conditions of the problem. A man
from the United States Geological
Survey who devotes most of his letter
to the very simple demonstration that
the two young women are not twins,
adopts himself an answer, sixteen for
AIMS age, which works out no better.

are eight years DID," says woman,

In the Net Drawn by City
 Attorney Folk.
Its General Attorney Declined to Answer Questions as to Bribery on
 the Ground of Self Incrimination.

St. Louis, Mo, July 7.-John H. Car roll, general attorney for the Burling- ton, was today taken before the grand jury which is Investigating bribery in the state legislature, and was aSked several questions by Circuit Attorney Folk These he refused to answer and the circuit attorney applied to Judge Douglas for an order compelling him to do so.
 On three of the questions, Judge Douglas sustained Carroll's contention that he could refuse to answer on the ground that the answer might incrim- mate himself.
 Judge Douglas ordered him to an- swer the fourth question. The ques- tions were the following:
 Do you krow anything about s25,- 900 that was paid to John A. Lee?"
 Do you know anything about money paid to the legislators at Jefferson City?"
 Do you know anything about money paid to the legislators at St. Louis 2"
 Do you have any knowledge of mon ey paid by any other persons thar yourself?'
 Carroll answered the fourth question saying he had no knowledge of money islation. He was taken to the grand jury room to repeat the answer.
 Attorney Folk announced that he ex pected to have Carroll back in tw, weeks as a witness again. John A Lee. former governor. held a confer ence with MT. Folk this afternoon.

BABY WEATHER. Little Fellows Don't Like the Hot
 Days.

Mothers should know exactly what food to give babies in hot weather.
 With the broiling hot days in July and August the mother of a baby is always anxious for the health of her little one. and is then particularly care full in feeding. Milk sours quickly and other food Is uncertain. Even in spite of caution, sickness sometimes creeps in and then the right food is more necessary than ever.
 Our baby boy two years old began in August to have attacks of terrible stomach and bowel trouble. The phy- sician said his digestion was very bad and that if it had been earlier in the summer and hotter weather we would surely have lost him.
 Finally we gave baby Grape Nuts food. feeding it several times the first day and the next morning he seemed better and brighter than he had been for many days. There was great change in the condition of his bowels and in three days they were entirely normal. He is now we'll and getting very strong and fleshy, and we know that Grape-Nuts saved his life for he was a very, very i'll baby. Grape-Nuts food must have wonderful properties to effect such cures as this.
 we grown-ups in our family all use Grape Nuts and also Postum in place of coffee with the result that we never any of us have any coffee ills but are we'll and strong" Name given by Postum Co.,, Battle Creek. Mich.
 The reason Grape-Nuts food relieves bowel trouble in babies or adults is be- cause the starch of the grain is predi- gested and does not tax the bowels nor ferment like white bread. potatoes and other forms of starchy food.
