FROM SAM & BOX
Where the Foods Come From

WNcIc the Y cUuS GOmc TpTn~
Look here. waiter, honest now,
don't you dip every one of these faxed
breakfast foods out Of the same box?"
We'll, yes, boss, we duz, all 'cept
Grape Nuts. cause that don't look like
the others and people know zaekly
what Grape-Nuts looks like. But
there's bout a dozen different ones
named on the bill of fare and they are
all thin rolled fakes so it don't make
any difference which one a man calls
for, we just take out the order from
one box"
This talk led to an investigation.
Dozens of factories sprung up about
three years ago. making various kinds
OF breakfast foods, seeking to take the
business of the original prepared
breakfast food-Grape-Nuts. These
concerns after a precarious existence.
nearly all failed. leaving thousands Of
boxes of their foods In mills and ware
houses. These we're in several in
stances bought up for a song by spec
ulators and sold out TO grocers and
hotels for little or nothing The proc
ess OF working of this old stock has
been slow. One will see the names
on menus of faxed foods that went
out OF business a year and half or
two years ago In few cases where
the abandoned factories have been
bought up, there is an effort to resus-
oitate the defupct, and by copying the
style OF advertising of Grape-Nuts,
seek to influence people to purchase.
But the public has been educated to
the fact that all these thin faxed
foods are simply soaked wheat or oats
rolled thin and dried out and packed.
They are not prepared like Grape
Nuts, in which the thorough baking
and other operations which turn the
starch part of the wheat and barley
into sugar. occupy many hours and re-
suit In a food so digestible that small
Infants thrive on it, while it also con-
tains the selected elements of Phos-
phate of Potash and Albumen that
unite in the body 10 produce the soft
gray substance In brain and nerve
centers. There's a reason for Grape
Nuts. and there have been many imi-
tauons, few OF the article itself. but
many more OF the kind and character
OF the advertising. Imitators are al
ways eounterfeiters and their printed
and written statements cannot be ex-
pected to be different than their
goods.

HIS JUDGMENT AT FAULT.
One Instance Where Bslzac Failed as
Graphologlst.


If there was one thing upon which
Balzac fiattered himself more than
another 1t was his skill in reading
character from handwriting.
But he made a sad mistake on one
occasion. A lady brought him an ex-
tract from the exercise book OF ~
yearold schoolboy, and asked him for
an opinion as to the youngsters char
acter and prospects. Balzac inquired
whether the child was her own. An
swered In the negative, he examined
the exercise carefully and delivered
his judgmnt.
Madame" he said, this child Is
thick-headed and frivolous. He will
never come to any good. II he were
my child would take him from school
and put him to the plow."
Then 1t was explained TO the novsl-
list that the specimen on which he had
pronounced so severely was one of
his own which had been discovered
hidden away between the leaves OF an
old lesson book.

as-Raised Ducks,

"Out in the natural gas region Of
Pennsylvania" said a man from that
locality, there are many large duck
farms, at which the ducks are Matched
by incubators. Gas is cheap there
and they pipe it about into the most
unexpected places. So, when the lit
tie ducklings arrive in this cold world
they are put in a bin in which a gas
jet is kept burning for warmth. When
they are large enough they are put in
large, open pens out of doors, but if
gas jet is not lighted in that pen at
night there is panic and duck
panic results in so many broken legs
and wings that the duck farmers of
that region have to keep a night lamp
burning in the duck pens all night.

Wire Holders viii Soon supsrsede
pastebosrd Divisions.

Much inventive gray matter has
been expended by host of inventors
in an endeavor to devise a cheap and
satisfactory egg crate. Up to the
present time The pasteboard subdi-
vision box monopolizes the trade, sim
ply because it is the cheapest and
most satisfactory yet devised. The
pasteboard has enough elasticity to
accommodate itself TO variations in
size of eggs and can be used mum.
Der Of times. A couple of New Yea
land inventors have conceived the idea
The Oakley eagle. [volume] (Oakley, Idaho) 1901-1908, 1906-06-21

or building egg carriers formed OF
wire, bent into cup shape and attached
to wooden battens, after the manner
indicated in the illustration. This
forms durable economical arrange
ment which, while securely holding
the egg, prevents its being broken by
sudden jars. 1t will be observed that
when the egg is slipped into position
1t does not touch any rigid body at
any point. The battens are spaced
according to the size of the crate and
the character of the eggs to be trans
ported. There is practically no limit
to the life of such crate.

Boy Is Musical Wonder.

Without having had single lesson
in harmony or composition, a Ching
ford boy named George Williams, aged
fourteen, has composed an elaborate
oratorio, which he calls "An Exalta-
tion." His only tuition has been an
elementary course in the pianoforte,
under the guidance of local organist,
and half dozen organ lessons. No
one outside the lads family had heard
anything of the oratorio until the other
day, when the youthful composer play
ed selections to the representative of a
London newspaper. The work abounds
in forid passages, and is altogether of
an ambitious order. The boys only
assistance in the more technical part
of his work was textbook of Prout's s,
and the whole was completed in three
weeks. "An Exaltation" includes fifty
numbers, arranged in choruses, solos,
duets, quartettes and octettes. It is
singular that the boy had never heard
an opera performed, nor has he heard
first-class choir render his favorite
oratorios.

New-laid eggs can be preserved for
months by smearing the shells of
them with pure glycerine on the same
day that the eggs are laid. 1t is best
to place them In a position with the
smaller end up. Pure glycerine is
much better than butter or grease, as
1t never turns rancid and thus avoids
the chance of spelling the favor of
the eggs.

The New York Sur says: Every
summer reports of damage done by
deer among the crops in New Eng
land seem to justify a fear that these
rapacious animals will eat the farm
ers out of house and home. The re-
ports are always followed by a de-
mand for the extension Of the open
season. In Vermont, when the legis-
lature was asked two O three years
ago to protect the farmers by con-
senting to a greater slaughter of deer,
MIR. M. e. Wheeler of Rutland, who
owns $500 acres Of wild land under
Killington Peak, and gives the deer
an asylum on his own property, went
to Montpelier to oppose the bill to ex-
tend the open season, and offered to
deposit $1,000 in a Rutland bank to
nav for damages to crops by deer
during the closed season. He con-
tended that the reports on which the
demand for a longer open season a
based were grossly exaggerated. Mr..
Wheeler's offer was accepted, tbs leg
islative committee refusing to report
the bill favorably. In twelve months
this champion Of the deer had to pay
out only 5000 to the despoiled farmers
Of Vermont. Deer undoubtedly tram
pie down grass and corn and help
themselves to the tops Of growing
things, but they find most OF their
fodder in the forest; and as long as
the farmer keeps a dog. they are sell
