For a moment May wavered. She
looked within the library, which seem

membered something that Mrs. Arm
strong had said about spelling men, and
how easy it was to begin and how
selfish they were.
So she ran up the stairs, calling back
over her shoulder:
Come Jack. we've no time to lose.
And as to your horrid prejudice, do try
TO get over it"
Half an hour later he stood in full

both, was steering her frail vessel on

cations for the forthcoming battleships
South Carolina and Michigan, author
lied by Congress last year, has planned
to have them equal in all essentials
Great Britain'S latest battleship, the
Dreadnaught. These are to be the
most powerful warships ever built in
this country. The main battery will be
composed of eight Pinch guns, in tur-
refs so constructed as to utilize all
the guns in 9 broadside The turrets
will be one behind the other, two for
ward and two aft 1t is understood
that turbines are called for, in case
the Dreadnaught proves successful
with them. Although the Dreadnaught
is 20 feet longer, she cannot use all of
her guns in a broadside, and in this
respect the American plans are thought
to be superior.

Now let all these choice specimens
| take notice:

| thousand dollars to be covered by a

| of old bread or any other ingredient
| different than our selected wheat and
| barley with a little salt and yeast used
| in the making of GrapeNuts, 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
| factories are so clean that one could.
with good relish, eat 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
of Grape Nuts You will find tremen-
dOuS elevators containing the choicest
wheat and barley possible to buy. These
grains are carried through long convey
ers to grinding mills. and there convert
ed into -four. Then the machines make
selection of the proper quantities of this
flour in the proper proportion and these
parts are blended into a general -four
which passes over to the big dough mix
ing machines. there water, salt and a
| little yeast are added and the dough
bo IF
Remember that previous to the barley
| having been ground it was passed
| through about one hundred hours of
soaking in water. then placed on warm
floors and slightly sprouted. developing
the dastase in the barley, which
changes the starch in the grain into a
form of sugar.
Now after we have passed it into
dough and it has been kneaded long
enough. it is moulded by machinery into
loaves about IS inches long and , or 6
inches in diameter. 1t is put into this
shape for convenience in second cook
ing.
These great Ioaves are sliced by ma
chinery and the slices placed on wire
trays, these trays, IN turn. placed on
secondary ovens. each perhaps 10 or so
feet long. There the food is subjected
to a long low heat and the starch which
has not been heretofore transformed. is
turned into a form of sugar generally
known as Post Sugar. 1t can be seen
glistening on the granules of Grape
Nuts if held toward the light, and this
sugar is not poured over or put on the
food as these preyaricators ignOrantly
assert. On the contrary the sugar eX
udes from the interior of each little
granule during the process of manu-
facture. and reminds one of the little
white particles Of sugar that come out
on the end of hickory log after it has
been sawed off and allowed to stand for
Il length of time.
This Post Sugar is the most digest
ible food known for human use. 1t is
so perfect in its adaptability that moth
ers with very young infants will pour
a little warm milk over two or three
spoonfuls of Grape-NutS, thus washing

economy in public printing. At pres

death of General Schofield has removed
the only West Point graduate from
among them. He entered the Military
Academy in 1919. and had worn the

three major generals on the retired list
whose service began earlier than that

was as an officer of volunteers. was re-

General Ruger entered West Point as
a cadet in 1850, and was retired as a
major general in 1897, but his service
was not continuous, for he resigned
from the army in 1855, and re-entered
it in 1861, at the beginning of the Civil
War. General Howard also entered
West Point in 1850, and served contin-
uously until he reached the age limit
and was retired, in 1894 He is not
technically, but practically he is the
senior officer and dean of the army 1t

senior major generals on the retired list

1t may not be generally understood
why in the United States Senate there
are sometimes on a single day notable
speeches upon widely different subjects.
The session is divided into two parts.
Morning business comes before 2
O'Clock, and unfinished business is
taken up after that hour. Any Senator
who desires to make q formal speech
asks of an opportunity to do so in the
morning hour of a particular day. He
takes the floor as soon after u o'clock
as the introduction of bills and resolu-
tons has been completed. If he has not
finished his speech by . O'Clock, it is
customary for the Senator who has
charge of the bill that has the right
of way to move that it be temporarily
laid aside in order that the speaker
may conclude his remarks. Discussion
of the altogether different theme, known
as the unfinished business is then in
order.

NOBODY GUILTY
 IN TENDERLOIN RIOT
The Man Who Did the Effective
 Shooting is Undiscovered.

The long pending cases of the Ter Titory against Bafia Magnani on one
 side and Frank Lisenbee and Jerry Roberts on the other, all charged with assault with deadly weapons were dis posed of in Justice Burnetts court.
 This trouble had it's origin more than two weeks ago but the cases had been continued from time to time on ac- count of the injuries sustained by Mag mani which prevented his attendance. One morning Lisenbee and Roberts went into the Red Light saloon of
 which Magnani IS one of the proprie-
 tors. There were some drinks and
 then a quarrel about the pay for them.
 Magnani followed Lisenbee and Rob
 erts outside the saloon when accord
 ing in the testimony he drew a pistol and fired though evidently not with
 the intention of hitting either Roberts
 or Lisenbee. He was then attacked by
 Roberts. knocked down and beaten and badly wounded about the head.
 Several persons attracted by the shot and the general quarrel gathered about the place and when Roberts and
 Lisenbee started away on a run there was a fusilade of shots. Roberts and
 Lisenbee were each shot but not seri-
 ously wounded. It was believed at the time and for day or two afterward that they were snot by Magnani but l it was later shown that that could not have been possible. In the first place
 his condition was such after the beat ing he received that he could not have
 fired a gun and in the next place it was snown that the weapon he had
 was a derringer with only two chamb- CTS, whereas not less than six shots 1 were fired
 1 Ever since that discovery the off
 cers have been trying to find who did the shooting. At first they hit on a woman Of the block but that theory was soon after abandoned and then | they gathered other information point | ing to a hanger on about the place. | They felt quite sure that he was the
 man but they could find no evidence against him. It was only known that 1 he appeared on the scene about the ! time that Magnani was left by Rob | erts and Lisenbee. He was clad only 1 in night shirt but of all who were there no one mad seen him with gun. 1 The only new thing brought out at the
 trial yesterday that had not been known before was that immediately
 after the shooting a revolver had been found lying on the floor of the saloon | in front of the bar. How it came
 there could not be explained but there
 seemed little doubt that 1t was the weapon with which the shooting was done.
 The trial brought out no evidence
 in support of the charges against any
 of the parties. Though the wounds
 found on Magnani's head had appar-
 ently been made with some sort of a weapon no one had seen, weapon in
 the hands of either Roberts or Lisen- bee, except the derringer of Magnani which Lisenbee took from him after he
 had been knocked down by Roberts, and handed to a bystander.
 The felony charges were according ] ly dismissed. Magnani agreeing to plead to a charge of misdemeanor.
