What adjective will best describe men
of that standing?
DIR. Bixby has great facility in the
use of English and perhaps he will
take pity on a poor pop editor and
furnish him with some adjective that
will correctly describe the men Of tha.

WHAT SHALL THE WORD BE

Bixby is sorely' troubled because The
Independent in decisive language ex-
poses the ignorance of the republican
following and denounces the sharpers
who use that ignorance to hoist them
selves into Office and when there, tax
their dupes beyond all reason, give
away public franchises, favor trusts
and rob and exploit the poor Gre
atures, while they themselves pile up
millions more than they can use or
even give away. The Independent
would like to ask DR.. Bixby a ques-
ton: BY what name should these
ignorant creatures be called? One
time one of these men, who had been
a member of the legislature, followed
the editor of The Independent around
in a country town, determined to talk
politics. The said legislator was
greatly impressed with the idea that
he was wise far beyond ordinary men
because he had been republican
member of a legislature. He was inn
pudent and arrogant In his manner
and insif "a that prosperity had re-
turned because as soon as the repub-
licans had captured the government
they had stopped the coinage OF sill

only tastes delicious but that puts the

staying power for the day.

wiser years have taken none but
have depended. for the health now

food Of which l keep on hand tested
variety, plain but nourishing.
"Of these my main dependence IS
Grape-Nuts. especially II l have be-
fore me a day of unusual effort eth
er mental or physical. In this case
fortify myself the first thing in the
morning with about teaspoonfuls
of Grape-Nuts moistened with cream
and not much else for breakfast and
the amount of work can then carry
through successfully without fatigue
or exhaustion is a wond to those
about me and even to myself.
"Grape-Nuts food is certainly a
vonderful strengthener and is not a
stimulant. for there is NO reaction aft
erwards, but 1t is sustaining and
strengthening. as l have proved by
long experience" Name given by

There's a reason four teaspoonfuls
of Grape-Nuts and cream will add

over the neck of the bottle, and, after
