tale: An ancient rabbi came to city
where all the people were truthful,
married one Of the inhabitants, had
two children and prospered. One day

rabbi, going to the door, was seized

GAS USED UNDER LIME KILNs.
innovation by Connecticut Company
IS a Success.

The New England Lime company,
of Winstead, Conn, asserts that 1t Is
the first to introduce gas as fuel for
lime burning. The method is pro-
nounced an entire success. The grow
ing scarcity Of wood fuel led to the
discovery of gas as a substitute for
wood, and the company no longer con-
siders the gas method an experiment.
The efficacy and reliability Of gas
have been demonstrated beyond a
doubt. Had it been impossible to find
a substitute for wood, said member
of the company, it would have meant
the restriction and perhaps the total
abandonment of the business. Gas
fires are absolutely clean at all times
no clinkers and no cinders-and the
lime produced is much whittier than
that burned by wood. Gas also pro-
duces a more intense heat, and conse-
Quently increases the capacity of the
kilns. The daily output at the COM
pany's kilns is increased from 80 bar
rels per kiln to 100 barrels, or a total
Of 700 barrels daily.

distressing and became a sick man.
Grape-Nuts was recommended as a
food that could be easily digested.
Leaving the old diet that lad given
me SO much trouble, began to eat
Grape-Nuts with a little cream and
sugar. The change effected in "a hours
was truly remarkable, and IN q few

While the charge against Miller was insol

that he was ousted through the efforts Of the
labor organization which he defed.
Miller first came into public notice In 1908
when the employees Of the printing ONCE demand,

ALICE WILL TRY TO RETAIN RANK.

social life in the capital that will cause consterna-
ton among the old-timers. 1t seems that Mrs.
Alice Longworth has already declared herself,
and her social campaign as a matron is already
mapped out Needless to say, absolute independ-
ence characterizes her attitude. One fruit of her
trip abroad is her newborn conviction that a
married woman should retain her rank" as her
fathers daughter and not fall to her husbands
level.
AS the case now stands, Mrs Longworth is
one Of a throng, mere ant in the social hill and
she ranks not the daughter of the head of the
nation but as the wife of a minor representative
in congress. She must be subservient to tradi-
ton, and her duties are mapped out by social
laws rigid as those of the Modes and Persians
