Wheat consumption is increasing
all the time, while the wheat yield
is not only not increasing, but is
said to be growing less. While
the people of this country are the
largest consumers of wheat bread
per capita, they are also the largest
consumers of corn bread. Indeed,
corn bread is almost unknown in
other countries, and even in this
country the South is practically
the only section in which it is used
to any extent.

cause there is not much in numer
zeal superiority; that victory goes
to the better gunners, and the
Japs are most likely to get supe-
rior position and deliver a greater
number of effective shots. AS to
the probability of war in the flu
ture, Lord Beresford gives an
opinion.
We are not likely to have any
great war for many years after
this. the Admiral thinks. Eng
land and America hold the secret
of peace. If these two nations
should mass their fleets no other
country or group of countries
would dare fight them.
England and America, he says,
must come squarely together on
that question.
War with all its shocking loss OF
life has begun to make thinking
people ponder. A united fleet,
one bunting, one language, one
spirit of patriotism, a combination
of the only two nations of the
world which have volunteer navies
and armies, instead of a conscript
system, would be able to keep the
peace. Of course there are times
when a wave of opinion will take
possession of a people and they
will demand war. The other fell
low has to look out then. That is
when the honor of the country is
at stake, and it is the only danger
Gus war wave of, the lot.
This is the view of man who
lives on a fighting machine and
commands a fleet of engines of de
Struction. AscivilizatiOn advances
the sentiment against war grows
stronger and more universal.
But this will Lot prevent the
maintenance of navies and armies
effective means of encouraging
peace and protecting the rights Of
nations. China, the Oldest and
most populous Of all the nations
affords a striking illustration o.
the helplessness of a nation UMPIRE
pared to defend itself and unpro
tected by either an army or a navy
against insults and infringements
As to England and the United
Estates, and by England we meal
Great Britain, they can exert {
mighty power for the peace of th'
world. Together they would b,
inyincible.

MIGHT HAVE SAVED 1T.
a lot OF Trouble From Too Much Starch
Food.

A little boy of eight years whose
parents did not feed him on the right
kind of food, was always nervous and
suffered from a weak condition of the
stomach and bowels. Finally he was
taken down with appendicitis and after
the operation the doctor, knowing that
his intestinal digestion was very weak,
put him ON Grape-Nuts twice day.
He rapidly recovered and about two
months thereafter, his Father states,
''He has grown to be strong, muscular,
and sleeps soundly, weighs 62 pounds,
and his whole system is in a fine con-
dition of health" Name given by
Postum Co., Battle Greek, Mich.
1t is plain that if he had been put on
Grape-Nuts at an earlier period in his
| life, and kept from the use of foods
that he could not digest. he never
would have had appendicitis. That
| disease is caused by undigested food
, decaying in the stomach and bowels,
| causing irritation and making for the
growth of all kinds of microbes, setting
up a diseased condition which is the
active cause of appendicitis, and this
is more marked with people who do not
! properly digest white bread.
| Grape-Nuts is made of the selected
parts of wheat and barley and by the
peculiar processes of the cooking at the
| factory, all of the starch is turned into
sugar ready for immediate digestion
and the more perfect nourishment of
all parts Of the body, particularly the
brain and nerve centres.

With the Eye of Imagination.

One of the stories told of the late
Lafcadio, Hearn goes back to the days
of his newspaper work in Cincinnati.
A steeple-jack, who was going to
climb to the top of a high church
steeple to repair it, boosted to anxious
sympathizers that he would willingly
carry I'D a man on his back. The city
edition refused Hearn the assignment,
which the latter eagerly besonght, but
finally allowed him to go; and Hearn
clasped his arm around the steeple-
lacks neck and was landed on the top
of the steeple, amid the cheers of the
observing thousands. By and by he
descended, and wrote three column
article of vivid, glowing description of
the city as seen from that point of
view. The thing was literature, and
was recognized as such by everyone
who read it. One little circumstance
which it's readers did not know was
that Hearn wasso nearsighted he could
see about five feet before his face, and
no more, and that his description Of
the city was pure imagination.

names he could think of while using
every device of gentle persuasion to
make the little wiggler keep still Fl
nally he turned tC the despalring
mother and said
Madam, if you will leave your darl-
ing with me for few minutes l think
| can succeed in taking her lovely face
to perfection"
The mother withdrew for a short
time. Soon the photographer sum-
moned her back and exhibited highly
satisfactory negative. When they
reached home the mother asked
Nellie, what did that nice gentle
man say to you when left you alone
with him."
"Wen, he thaid," lisped Nellie. "lf

At first some men came to find a
spot where they could put up the mill.
When they had found the place they
went away and shortly after some
more men came with axes and saws
and cut down trees.
First, one man would take an axe
and put notch in a tree. The way
the notch was, was in which direction
the tree should fall. When they had
felled tree the men that sawed the
tree would trim off the branches.
When the branches were off they
sawed it into large logs.
The mill was put up near a brook
so they would have all the water they
needed The logs were dragged from
all parts of the woods by horses.
The logs were put on a saving
table, man pulled lever back and
Immediately some hooks caught the
log, the table began to go first for
ward and then backward.
First the outside was cut off, which
is called slabs, after the outside is off

Wonderful Tons.

A Japanese student of medicine was
showing a group of Americans what
he could do in the way of top spin
ming He took up big yellow top,
| shaped like chrysanthemum, wrap
ped silk cord about it and threw it
down. 1t spun beautifully, this huge
flower, and out of it, al OF a sudden.
half dozen smaller flowers leaped
and spun in their turn about the floor.
"A chrysanthemUm top" said the
young man. Here is a bird top"
He corded and threw down a top
that resembled gorgeous bird. This
top, as it spun, opened and closed it's
wings, and made long leaps to left
and right in imitation of a birds flight,
The Japanese student wound I'D
red top as big as his head and hurled
it violently straight at one of his
guests. 1t shot through the air until
it was within few inches of the
frightened young mans face, and then.
as If by magic, it turned and darted
back again, and the student caught it
on his palm, and held it there, still
spinning.
"This is a boomerang top" he said.
And again he threw it across the
room, and again it shot back, still
spinning, to his hand.
The young man now set going sim
ultaneously a dozen small tops of red
and yellow and green paper They
looked plain and commonplace as they
spun, but suddenly they began to open
out, and one became a ladder, another
lantern. third a ship, a fourth a
branch of cherry blossoms, fifth a
dancing girl, and SO on.
"The Chinese" said the student,
ARE noted for their kites. Why Is it
that we japanese are NOT equally
noted for our tops? All over our
country we spin tops, and my little
exhibition here would seem poor and
mean beside the one that a really ex-
pert spinner could give you in Japan

eggs. Be sure you don't eat any while
T on to church" In her absence the
children tuck up certain number OF
feet under their frocks and say:
"What a long time mother is at
church." She comes home, counts
the eggs and says: "Why, how is
This? | left 16, and now there are
only TO-" The children answer that a
woman came while she was gone and
offered four chickens for the six eggs
and they took her offer. Where are
the eggs?" asked the mother. Down
in the field" they reply. The mother
Goes TO seek them, and no sooner is
