FROM SAME BOX
Where the Foods Come From.

Where the Foods Come From.
Look here, waiter, honest now.
don't you dip every one of these faxed
breakfast foods out of the same box"
well, yes, boss, we duz, all 'cept
Grape-Nuts, cause they don't look like
the others and people know 'zactly
what Grap-Nuts looks like. But
there's bout dozen different ones
named on the bill of fare and they are
all thin rolled fakes so it don't make
any difference which one a man calls
for, we just take out the order from
one box"
This talk led to an investigation.
Dozens of factories sprung up about
three years ago, making various kinds
of breakfast foods, seeking to take the
business of the original prepared
breakfast food-Grape-Nuts. These
concerns after precarious existence
nearly all failed, leaving thousands of
boxes of their foods in mills and ware
houses. These were in several in
stances bought up for song by spec
ulators and sold out to grocers and
hotels for little or nothing. The proc
ess of working off this old stock has
been slow. One will see the names
on menus of faxed foods that went
out of business a year and half or
two years ago. In a few cases where
the abandoned factories have been
bought up, there is an effort to resus-
citate the defunct, and by copying the
style of advertising of Grape-Nuts.
seek to influence people to purchase.
But the public has been educated. to
the fact that all these thin faxed
foods are simply soaked wheat or oats
rolled thin and dried out and packed.
They are not prepared like Grape
Nuts, in which the thorough baking
and other operations which turn the
starch part of the wheat and barley
suit in a food so digestible that small
infants thrive on it. while it also con-
tains the selected elements of Phos-
phate of Potash and Albumen that
unite in the body to produce the soft
gray substance in brain and nerve
centers. There's reason for Grape
Nuts. and there have been many imi-
tations, a few Of the article itself, but
many more of the kind and character
of the advertising. 1mitators are al
wavs counterfeiters and their printed
and written statements cannot be ex.
pected to be different than their
goods.

An Appreciation.

am very fond Of poetry
Couldn't possibly be more
Every thing I lay my hands on,
Modern works or ancient lore.
But of all things I've perused
(And indeed I've read a sight)
Nothing seems to me so clever
AS the poetry I write.
Shakespeare? Well. he's pretty good.
Milton? HIM, guess he'll do.
Pope and Browning? Just so-so.
Keats? I've never read him through
Byron? Well, his styles too free.
TennySOn? Too serious, quite.
None Of them can hold candle
TO the poetry I write.
I can sit and read it over,
Backward, forward, by the hour.
Such magnificence of diction!
Phrasing Of unequaled power!
Often over 1T I've pored
Far into the Silly night.
Nothing fills me with such bliss
AS the poetry I write.
Every words a polished jewel,
Strings of gems are every line.
Strange that editors opinions
Rarely coincide with mine!
Some day they will beg my verse
But they'll never get mite.
For they won't deserve such luck
AS the poetry I write!

Where the Gang Rules.

COL Sheldon Potter, who represents
reformed Philadelphia in the headship
of the city's police department, was
talking at dinner party about gang
rule and municipal corruption.
"Gang rule" he said, encourages
bad habits, drunkenness, a hundred
evils. This was we'll shown in a
school board meeting in a New Eng
land town. Corruption in that town
was rampant, and in consequence dis
sipation was rampant, too.
"Well, at the school board meeting
speak of it was said that the. clerk
long before the nights business end
ed was signing checks with the whisky
and drinking the ink" k."-Cincinnau

"Ishad been teaching in the city
schools steadily for six years, said Miss
James, whose recent return to the work
from which she was driven by nervous
collapse has attracted attention. :'They

OF two teachers. The strain was too

miserable woman on earth. was tor
tured by nervous headaches, worn out by
inability to sleep, and had so little
blood that was as white as chalk.
"After my active life, it was hard to
bear idleness, and terribly discouraging
to keep paying out the savings Of years
for medicines which did me no good.''

"a bare chance and lot of faith led
me to cure. After had suffered for
many months, and when I was on the
very verge of despair, happened to read
an account of some cures effected by
DR.. Williams Pink Pills. The state
ments were so convincing that some
how felt assured that these pills would
help me. Most people, think, buy only
one box for a trial, but purchased six
boxes at once, and when I had used
them up, I was indeed well and had no
need of more medicine.
CDR. Williams Pink Pills enriched my
thin blood, gave me back my sleep, re-
stored my appetite, gave me strength to
walk long distances without fatigue, in
fact freed me from all my numerous all
ments. I have already taught for several
months, and I cannot say enough in
praise of DIR. Williams Pink Pills.
Miss Margaret NJ James is now living
at No. 1923 Clay street, Dayton, Ohio.
Many of her fellow teachers have also
used DR.. Williams Pink Pills and are
enthusiastic about their merits. Sound
digestion, strength, ambition, and cheer
full spirits quickly follow their use. They
are sold in every drug store in the
world.
