HOW soRREL is PRESERVED.
Curious Industry Of French Agricultural
Community.

A curious agricultural industry is be-
proftably carried on at Varedales, near
Meaux, France. 1t consists in the manu-
facture Of preserved sorrel. which is put
up in tins or small casks and exported
to ali parts of the world for use as a
culinary ana table accessory.
This industry was started at Varedales
in the year 1860, but it still remains
practically unknown to the world at
large. 1t requires a motive power of

RAILROAD REBATES MUST STOP.
By Leslie M. S!

My own idea about rebates is
this: The rebate must stop, and
the railroad is not the only sinner
in the case. Such action must be
taken by legislation and the en-
forcement of such legislation as
will apply the remedy to both the
beneficiary and the railroads. 1t
is the great and vital evil of our
commercial system, and l am sure
that every person engaged legiti-
mately in the business of shipping
or hauling viii agree with those
who are seeking relief.

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 of
them, and if there was ever one ounce
of old bread or any other ingredient
different than our selected wheat and
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
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 GrapeNuts. 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
little yeast are added and the dough
kneaded the proper length of time.
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 diastase in the barley, which
changes the starch in the grain into
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 5 or 6
inches in diameter. 1t is put into this
shape for convenience in second cook
ing
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
secondary ovens, each perhaps IS or so
feet long. There the food is subjected
TO long low heat and the starch which
has not been heretofore transformed, is
turned into 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 prevaricators 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
n length of time
This Post Sugar is the most digest
