Now let all these choice specimens
take notice:
We will deposit one thousand or
fifty thousand dollars to be covered by
a like amount from them, or any one or
them, and II there was ever one ounce
Of old bread or any other ingredient
different than our selected wheat ana
barley with little salt and yeast used
in the making of Grape-Nuts, we Will
lose the money.
Our pure food factories are open at all
times to visitors, and thousands pass
through each month, inspecting every
department and every process. Our lac-
tories are so clean that one could, with
good relish, eat a meal from the floors.
The work people, both men and wom-
en-, are OF the highest grade In the state
OF Michigan, and according to the state
labor reports, are the highest paid In
the state for similar work.
Let us tell you exactly what you will
see when you inspect the manufacture or
Grape Nuts. You will find tremendous
elevators containing the choicest wheat
and barley possible to buy. These
grains are carried through long convey
ed into -four. Then the machines make
selection of the proper quantities OF this
-four In the proper proportion and these
parts are blended into general flour
which passes over to the big dough mix
ing machines, there water, salt and lit
tie yeast are added and the dough knead-
ed the proper length of time.
Remember that previous to the barley
tuau
through about one hundred hours OF
soaking in water, then placed on warm
floors and slightly sprouted, developing
the diastase in the barley, which changes
the starch In the grain into form OF
sugar.
Now after we have passed II into
dough and 1t has been kneaded long
enough, 1t is moulded by machinery into
loaves about Is inches long and s or
inches in diameter. 1t is put into this
shape for convenience In second cooking.
These great loaves are sliced by ma
chinery and the slices placed on wire
trays, these trays, in turn, placed on great
steel trucks, and rolled into the second
airy ovens, each perhaps rs or 80 feet long.
There the food is subjected to "a long low
heat and the starch which has not been
heretofore transformed Is LuTHed INTO
form of sugar generally known as Post
Sugar. 1t can be seen glistening on the
granules of Grape-kuts IL held toward
the light, and this sugar Is not poured
over or put ON the food as these prevari-
Gators ignorantly assert. On the con-
trary the sugar exuGes from the interior
Of each little granule during the process
of manufacture. and reminds one OF the
little white particles of sugar that come
out on the end of hickory log after
1t has been sawed off and allowed to
stand for length of time.
This Post Sugar Is the most digestible
food known for human use. 1t is SO per-
fectin IT'S adaptability that mothers with
very young infants will pour a little
warm milk over two or three spoonfuls
of Grape-Nuts, thus washing the sugar of
from the granules and carrying it with

Washington, April 1.-two year,
to day later than the fatal Mis-
souri, disaster, and as every sailor Inn
mediately recalled, on a Friday and
the 18th of the month, six men were
lone to death In the forward turret
Of the bat.-eship Kearsarge by one
Of those accidents which acquire adj
ditional terror for sailors because Of
their obscure origin, and almost i'm
possibility of preventing.
The Atlantic fleet, the strongest
feet America has ever owned, had
been for weeks engaged in the most
severe drills in the waters of the Car
ribbean sea, eliminating in the quar-
teriy target practice. This practice
was just about concluding with most
satisfactory results up to Friday, anu
it was confidently expected at the de-
partment urcn the basis Of the pre-
liminary reports received, that all
records would be broken in the mat
ter of rapidity of fire and efficiency
of the gunners. But on Friday just
at the close of the weeks work at
the department came a cablegram
from Rear Admiral Evans, the com
lnanding chief of the Atlantic feet,
telling of dreadful accident on one
of his ships, the Kearsarge. The
news came from Cainanera, little
cable station at the mouth of Guam
tanamo bay, indicating the Kearsarge
itself had arrived at that place.
From the report it appears that
shortly after completion of target
practice three sections of thirteen
inch charge of powder were ignite;..
In the explosion which followed two
officers and five men were killed AMI
fourteen men were injured, eight OF
them seriously. The cause of the &C
cident has not vet been determined

Now we come to frisky lot, the
Labor Union" editors. You know
down In Texas a weed called
Loco" Is sometimes eaten by n
steer and produces arrangement
Of the brain that makes the steer
"batty" or crazy. Many of these
editors are "Locoed" from hate OF
anyone who will not instantlyobey
the demands" of labor union,
and It Is theuniversal habit OF such
writer's to gostraightinto n system
of personal utilization, manufac-
turing any sort OF falsehood
through which to vent their spleen.
We assert that the common citizen
has a right to live and breathe air
without asking permission OF the
labor trust and this has brought
down on us the hate of these edi-
tors. When they go far enough
with their libels, Is It harsh for us
to get judgment against them and
have our lawyers watch for n
chance to attach money due them
from others? (For they are usual
ly irresponsible.)

coed" editor.

Longley, of West Pennington, has
published the following in a local pa
per:
ITO the Friends of Righteousness,
Temperance and Virtue in Madison
and Vicinity, Greeting:
I'm the year 1875 or thereabout there
was a lodge of Good Templars in Mad
ison Bridge, as the village was then
called, of which lodge I was elected
treasurer. In process of time the lodge
decayed and became disbanded and
surrendered it's charter. There was
left in the treasury sum Of money,
about SO, as 1 remember it now, which,
without right and in open fracture of
Gods holy law, I used upon myself.
"The matter rested upon my con-
science all these years, but I have
never known just how to right the
wrong; but today, with the grace of

I have drawn an amount fOurfOld the
amount of my defalcation and will
forward the same to K. c. Gray, of the

lodge in Madison, if there is one; If
not to the treasurer of the Woman's
Christian Temperance union. if that
organization will accept it; if they will
not, to the treasurer Of the Christian

Follower Of Holy Ghost and Us"

WORKING OF new RELIGIOUS" CRANKs
YOUNG GIRL HoPELESSLY IN.
SANE FROM TEACHINGS AND
PRiVATIONS AT SHILOH.

RUMFORD FALLS, Me-, July %
Tied with ropes and bound with straps,
fiat on her back in her bed, Miss Ber-
tina Phelps, of Kansas, was a raving
maniac when her mother arrived at
Shiloh, the home of the Holy Ghost
and Us" sect, who have Rev. Frank
Sanford for a leader. The young
girl calls for aid and raves incoher-
emily about the forty hours fast, or
the continuous prayers in the turret,
or similar familiar phases of life at
the Durham sandhill.
Her mother was to her as a strang-
er, and to all the endearing epithets
uttered by the parent she either made
no response or else replied with SEN
fences from the sermons which have
been preached by Rev. Elijah" Sand
ford against idolizing earthly friends.
The young woman's case was found to
be hopeless, and she has been taken to
the insane asylum at Augusta.
Miss Phelps is from the west. It
was against the wishes of their mother
that Miss Phelps and her sister six
years ago listened to the seductive
words Of the disciples from Shiloh
and came east to cast their fortunes
with those at the sand barrens They
firmly believed that it was the will of
the Almighty that they should live at
this desolate place, and they have been
ardent disciples of Sanford ever since
their arrival
Miss Phelps mother was so opposed
to the step that she at one time jour-
neyed there from Kansas to plead with
her daughter to return home, but with
out avail, and she was obliged to re-
turn alone. Letters were written, but
as Mrs. Phelps did not receive answers
for several weeks she again came on to
Maine, only to find her daughter in
sane
The case has been aggravated by the
report that the other daughter is bor-
dering on a state of mental collapse,
brought on by worry over her sister.

he told a wondrous tale Of how a
small trout had taken his bait and
swan through the handle of the jug.
He repeated this operation several
times, and when Jack pulled up the
line was so firmly attached to the jug
that he raised it up to the boat. For
his services the fish was liberated.
After Jack got through telling the
yarn some one remembered that years
ago while sheriff's posse was chasing
a gang of moonshiners across the pond
one of their boats sprung a leak and
went down with many jugs of "evi-
dence" The men escaped, but the jugs
were never found.
This was enough for the more credu-
lous citizens, and they left off hoeing
corn, doctoring potato plants and hay
ing and adjourned to the pond in a
body. Boats, RATS and logs were set
afloat, and from these unstable points
of vantage thirsty crowd is fishing
with cod hooks, bent wire and rakes.
Some took pals of live minnows, and,
hooking these to trout lines, they are
waiting patiently, hoping that they
will swim through jug handles, as did
Jacks fish.
Two men who consulted a clairvoy-
ant staked out claim with bean
poles, and when another party, which
had paid so cents to the same medium,
arrived on the ground there was free
fight. Finally matters were peaceably
adjusted and the fishing was con-
tinued. The most that was fished up
in this spot were three old shoes. two
tin cans and the sleeve of an oilskin
coat
Jack isn't fishing at all. He's stay
ing by the original jug and looking
wise.

NEW YORK, July 23.-George B.
to the United States to improve the
pattern of the uniforms of Uncle Sans
soldiers, sailed for England yesterday
on the Oceanic. His work here is fin
ished and it remains for the American
tailors and clothing manufacturers to
carry out the designs which Mr.. Win
ter submitted and which the quarter
master general accepted with some
notifications.
Replying to a question, Mr.. Winter
said:
How will the soldier look in the
uniform? He will look as smart as can
be, for in the first place the men of
your army are a very smart lot-all
they need is uniform that will show
them off to better advantage. There
will be no radical change in the uni
form as it is at present. The great
difference will be in the cut. The
changes are to be of such nature that
the layman would not understand, but
in the end the men will appear to far
better advantage both individually and
collectively. The breaches Of the cav
airy will be a little fuller about the
hips and closer at the knees and bot
tom, so that the leggings and boots
may be better adjusted. The blouse
will have different turn here and
there; there will be some change in the
collar and other details which I do
not feel at liberty to discuss The new
uniforms will not be adopted imme-
diately; the change will be gradual"

BERLIN, July 23.-Between $50 and
117O inches of rainfall caused the
deluge some 10000 years ago, accord
ing to a new theory launched by Pro-
fessor Johann REIN, of the Royal OBJ
servatory, one of Germany's greatest
meteorologists.
This theory has caused a great stir
not only among scientific men, but
among theologians. He maintains that
the flood was universal and that water
covered the whole world. He attaches
no Importance to the Scriptural narra-
tive 1t is of no Importance, he says,
because it leaves out entirely the fact
that a deluge myth may be found
among aboriginal people throughout
the earth.
Professor REIN has devoted much
study to this question, and views it
entirely from its scientific side. In
support of his theory he calls atten-
ton to the present conditions of the
planet Venus. A spectral analysis of
Venus shows the planet surrounded
with an atmosphere heavily saturated
with moisture.
Thousands of years ago." he says,
that was precisely the condition of
this earth. In consequence of the in
tense internal warmth enough water
was vaporized to form a thick veil of
heavy clouds. The suns rays could
not penetrate this veil Of clouds, but
there was enough warmth in the earth
to produce a mild climate and rich
vegetation.
The moisture soaked atmosphere,
increased the atmospheric pressure
from three to four times what it is
now, and the gradual lessening of the
heat from the earth brought about a
lower temperature. With the colder
temperature the lower strata of clouds
became too heavy to remain in position
and, descending, caused fearful cloud
bursts, causing what is known as the
deluge."
