our prominent colleges asked his
pupils to bring original questions on
chemical changes as part of their next
days lesson.
When the time arrived the profess
sor asked the pupils how they sue
ceeded. One young man, with a
twinkle in his eye, raised his hand.
We'll, what is the question:" asked
the professor.
What two chemical changes did
the wife of Lot undergo?
The professor, who prided himself
on his knowledge Of chemistry, was
puzzled At last he confessed that he
did not know.

Nothing Succeeds Like "EGG-O-SEE. .

The man who breaches the best ser
mon; the man who tells the funnies
stories; the man who keeps the bes
store; or the man who makes the hes
goods soon finds that people come I,

in the world. People speak wei. O.
things they know are good. They pas,
the good word along.
The best breakfast food is EGG-O-
SEE, for it contains all the ife-giving
properties of natures best food, which
is wheat.
EGG-O-SEE is deeply in debt TO the
thousands of wives and mothers who
use it in their homes, for these good
women tell their neighbors about this
great food.
Children and aged persons alike are
friends of EGG-O-SEE.
Merit and common sense are the
things that advertise EGG O-SEE
most. EGG-O-SEE is cheap. A 10
cent package contains ten liberal
breakfasts. EGG-O-SEE is sold every
where. Grocers must keep it If they
want to keep their good customers,
for good customers insist on buying
EGG-O-SEE.
The fact that no preparation, no
cooking is required, makes EGG-O-
SEE very popular. Open the package;
put as much as you like in dish;
pour on milk or cream and eat. 1t
Is delicious. 1t is wholesome. 1t
