The operation Mrs Arthur Paget un-

ist, Sir Alfred Fripp took photograph
of the injured bones by means of the
Roentgen rays. which showed that the
fracture was as bad as ever. 1t was
necessary to make an incision so that
the fractured bones could be reached
These were screwed together with
ivory, and it is confidently believed
that in a few months time they will
knit and become strong enough to bear
the weight Of the body. In spite Of
the agony extending over thirteen
months which Mrs. Pagpt has endured,
she is able to drive out every day in an
open carriage. Mrs. Paget recently

little town of q thousand souls over

Barrataria consisted Of a city Of
some four thousand souls on a two
hundred-acre island, reached by long,
heavy bridges from the mainland. 1t
was an elevated plain, built up solid
with residences and warehouses. Its
people were well-to-do Many of
them dried shipIoads Of herring and
sole, storing their packages Of fra-
grant fish under open sheds, or in
loosely built frame barns. Others
operated big steamship lines, spend

Ancient Egypt
Knew the Virtues OF the
"King Of Foods. :"

Since the earliest annals Of Old
Egypt, wheat has been recognized
as the king Of foods
1t has held its sway down to the
present day, Notwithstanding the
fact that in many forms of making
wheat into food products, some OF
the best elements are lost.
Bread has been aptly termed,
the staff Of life" as it alone OF
known foods has all the elements
that are needed to sustain life.
Egg-O-See contains all the best
elements of wheat in a far more
healthfui and delicious form than
any bread crackers or ordinary
wheat foods. In addition to the
best whole wheat dclICatcly faxed
aud crushed, it IS made still more
digcstible by the addition OF refined
diastase, the highest grade OF malt.
There are no premiums or gifts
in the Egg-O-See package; moth
ing but full measure Of the highest
grade Of cereal food in the world.
