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 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
douOt. Had it been impossible to find
substitute for wood, said a member
Of the company, 1t 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
limo produced Is much whittier than
that burned by wood Gas also pro-
duces 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.

Suffered for white Lie"

Is white lie ever justified? That
at least some people believe it has
no excuse is proved by the following
tale: An ancient rabbi came to a city
where all the people were truthful.
married one of the inhabitants, had
two children and prospered. One day
neighbor called when the rabbits
rabbi. going to the door, was seized
by false modesty and said that she
had gone out Thereupon both of his
children died, and, as no one died in
that city before reaching old age, the
neighbors made inquiries, the rabbi
confessed what he had done, and was
ordered to leave the city Immediately.

MORE THAN MONEY.
A Minister Talks About erape-Nuts.

MY first stomach trouble began
back in 1885," writes a minister in
Nebr, resulting from hasty eating
and eating too much. l found no re-
lief from medicine and grew so bad
that all food gave me great distress.
1t was that sore, gnawing, hungry
feeling in my stomach that was so
distressing and became a sick man.
Grape-Nuts was recommended as a
food that could be easily digested.
Leaving the old diet that had given
me so much trouble, l began to eat
Grape-Nuts with little cream and
sugar The change effected in "a hours
was truly remarkable, and in a few
weeks was back to health again.
My work as minister calls me
away from home great deal, and re-
Gently | drifted back to fat meat and
indigestible foods. which put me again
on the sick list.
so I went back to Grape-Nuts and
cream and in four days l was put
right again. The old dull headaches
are gone, stomach comfortable, head
clear, and it is delight to pursue
NY studies and work
"Grape-Nuts food is worth more |
han money to me, and I hope this |

was alleged TO BE- unfair Discrimination"
in its application. Whether the
general result is an expression of the
opinion of the voters on the enforce

on the method Of cnforccm"nt-th"
SturGiS laW--Inay we'll b" doubted. If
it is both, then there can be no ques-
ton as to the prppriciy Of the next
legislature yielding to the demand for
rcsubmission. Throughout the cam
paign there were evidences outside the
cities and larger towns Of a sentiment
in favor Of rcsubmissiOn. not because
those who were yielding were losing
their faith in prohibition. but because
they desired an opportunity to rcaffirm
their faith in it.
