The men of the Burlington road
engaged in its extension through
Wyoming, encountered quite a
hill in their way. Rather over
doing the thing in its removal,
they placed under it one hundred
kegs of black powder, which was
exploded by electricity. The re-
suit was not only the removal of
the hill, but in its place was left a
hole in the ground that it will cost
more to fill up than it would have
cost to dig away the hill.

In spite of the danger of the old

inflicted on troublesome children
by their parents without the small

Red Gross Heln for Ianan

Tie National Red Cross society OF
the United States has been so demoral-
ized by its own internal strife in re-
cent years that it has not of late been
an effective agency of philanthropy.
But the reorganization accomplished
under supervision of congress has put
the society once more In excellent
working trim. Coming forward now
to offer its services for reaching and
feeding the starving peasantry Of
northern Japan, it eminently deserves,
says the Interior, the benevolent aid of
all generous Americans. The state
ment that the society is ready to re-
ceive and distribute funds has brought
out from President Roosevelt a strong
public appeal for contributions to the
society's treasury for this object. The
crisis in the stricken portion of the
Japanese islands is as severe as India
experienced few years ago, and
equally calls for international char.
ity. Not less than $4,000 human be
ings are being reduced to living on
roots and bark, and the death rate is
already appalling. Gifts forwarded t.
Hon. G. Hallam Keep, assistant secre-
tary Of the treasury, Washington, will
be applied by the most reliable agents
direct to this terrific need.

Now let all these choice specimens
take notice:
We will deposit one thousand or
fiftv thousand dollars to be covered Dy
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 rae
tories are so clean that one could, with
good relish, eat meal from the floors.
The work people, both men and Worn-
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 tremendous
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
-four in the proper proportion and tnese
PARTS are blended into general flour
which passes over to the big dough mix
ing machines, there water, salt and lit
| tie yeast are added and the dough knead-
ed 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 a form OF
sugar.
Now after we have passed 1t into
| dough and it has been kneaded long
enough, it is moulded by machinery into
loaves about 18 inches long and or 3
| inches in diameter. 1t Is put into this
shane for convenience In second cooking.
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 second
aryoyens, each perhaps rs or 80 feet long.
There the food is subjected to q long low
heat and the starch which has not been
heretofore transformed is turned into 9
form of sugar generally known as Post
Sugar. 1t can be seen glistening on the
1 granules Of Grape-Nuts IL held toward
the light, and this sugar Is not poured
over or put on the food as these prevari-
Gators ignorantly assert. On the con-
trary the sugar exudes from the interior
of each little granule during the process
of manufacture, and reminds one OF the
| little white particles Of sugar that come
| out on the end Of a hickory log attei
| 1t has been sawed off and allowed tc
stand for length of time.@as
/ This Post Sugar Is the most digestlblt
food known for human use. 1t Is 30 per
feet In its adaptability that mothers VIII
very young infants will pour little
warm milk over two or three spoonful'

Cooking school teachers-this

doctor conducts a small magazine
in which there is department

many of the questions as well as
the answers being written by the

appeared the statement: "No, we
cannot recommend the use OF
Grape-Nuts for it is nothing but
bread with glucosepoured oVerit."
Right then he showed his badge as
member of the tribe of Ananias.
He may have been a member for
some time before, and so he has
caused these Lecturers" to de-
scend into the ways Of the tribe
wherever they go.
