property is said to have been the only

"The Simple Life"
Proper Food is Really the First
Step in Right Living.

One OF the evils OF our complex mod
ern way of living, is our unnatural and
unhealthy foods.
To have really good health and a
good stomach it is necessary to eat
simple nourishing food. EGG-O-SEE
Is the ideal food, and reaches the
proper requirements in this direction
more nearly than any other cereal now
on the market.
To make EGG-o-SEE the kernels of
the choicest California white wheat
are first cleansed by brushes, then thor
oughly steam cooked, then faxed and
crisped to a maple tint and d~elicately
favored with natural fruit juice and
pure grain sugar.
In these delicious flakes, lies the
mighty strengthening power of the
whole wheat grain that evenly nour-
ishes every part of the body, and gives
physical and mental energy that means
splendid health and successful en-
deavor.

SCIENTIFIC SPECIALS.

f~ncandescent gases under slight
pressure give light composed of lines,
but under pressure a continuous spec
trum.
According to recent measurements
the magnetic energy of the earth
seems to be decreasing at the rate OF
16 per cent. in 46 years. While this
would be alarming if permanent, the
measurements are so incomplete as to
indicate the decrease may be only one
phase of the variation over a long
period.
Considerable reduction in the cost
of fuel has been accomplished by the
introduction of water gas in glass
melting and blowing in Bohemia and
Stockholm. In one instance where
coal gas had been previously used in
an incandescent lamp factory making
from 5000 to 1000 lamps a day, the
introduction of Dellwick gas effected
a saving in the cost of fuel of so per
cent. in soldering the glass bulbs and
heating the lamps during the vacuum
pumping.
The snakes tongue proves 10 be a
most remarkable organ. A Maryland
woman student finds that its chief
function is connected with a sense of
feeling without touch, and may be a
finer development of the sense that en-
ables some people to avoid striking
obstacles in the dark. The forked tip
and the numerous folds behind it
greatly increase the surface exposure.
The cells of the epidermis are inter
laced by a network of extremely fine
ibers, which center in a deep nerve
plexus beneath the epidermis and ex-
tending out into the folds.
A substance possessing curious prop
critics is announced in Germany-a
compound of carbolic acid, ~saponine
and camphor with a little %turpentine.
This mixture, 1t Is asserted, will
solidify when heated and melt again
when cooled. Solidification with heat
is a property of albuminous substances
such as the white of an egg, but such
substances will not liquefy again on
cooling, the coagulation being a per-
manent chemical change. The mix
ture described above to which the
name "cryostase' has been given, will
apparently solidify and liquefy as

MARIE ANTolNETTE TO BLAME.
Schumacher Front Modes Call for Flat
High Bust Corsets.

Marie Antoinette modes are respon-
sible for the higher cut corsets. The
stomacher front that is so conspicu-
Gus a feature of the seasons style
calls for straight-front stays Of excep-
tional altitude, and it is safe to proph-
esy that save for athletic use, the
low-cut corset-for a while, at any
rate-is a thing OF the past. Yet the
new model has little of the discom-
fort of it's Queen Anne prototype. The
royal and noble women of that mon
archs time walked about in strait
Jackets of iron and wood that must
have caused much palpitation OF the
heart and all sorts of digestive lisor-
ders. The new straight front is plas-
tic as we'll as supporting, and it is al
most as easy for madame to bend and
sway in one of them as in the I'M
braced waists of a decade or so ago.
Nevertheless, the lines are similar to
those of the Queen Anne and Marie
Antoinette patterns. Even the longi-
tudinal garters attached to them are
mot innovations, for these traces Of
hose supporters are visible In several
corsets remaining as relics of the
DAVIS when women didn't know how to
combine style with comfort New
