There are ciubwomen in town who
say that America doesn't deserve to be
called paradise for women and that
the only country in the world which
merits praise is Iceland. Women who
rage against their inability to vote on
great questions in the United States
should start at once for the northern
land. Miss Jessie Akermann, who
has been living there, says the women
have more civil rights than their sis
tiers IN any other country in the world.
aTheir right OF franchise is exercised
in all civic affairs save that Of election
of members to the Danish Parliament"
says she. THEY manage to get around
that difficulty and sustain their pollti.
cal status by forming themselves into
a political league. which has 1000
members and is a factor the real voters
are not able &c ignore."-NeT York

Now we come to a frlsky lot, the
Labor Union" editors. You know
down in Texas a weed called Loco"
is sometimes eaten by steer and
produces a arrangement of the
brain that makes the steer "batty"
or crazy. Many Of these editors
are "Locoed" from hate of anyone
who will not instantly obey the
demands" Of a labor union. and 1t
is the universal habit of such writ
ers to go straight into a system of
personal utilization, manufacturing
any sort Of falsehood through whieR
to vent their spleen. We asst tbayy
the common citizen has a right TO
live and breathe air without asking
permission Of the labor trust. and
this has brought deya on US the
hate of these editors. When they
go far enough with their llbels, is 1t
harsh for us to get judgment against
them and have our lawyerd watch
for chance TO attach md hey due
them from others7 For they are
usually Irresponsible.

The best poultry yard for fowls
that have not free range is the one
with plenty Of shrubbery in 1t and
one in which grass may be sown to
allow the birds plenty of green stun
to eat. 1t is advisable to have two
yards, and while the birds are living
in one sow some seed in the other. It
Is also a good plan to turn the soil in
the yards and the birds will get many
worms and insects. If there are no
trees or shrubs in the yards il is very
little trouble to plant few there. The
hens, and little chicks, especially, will
appreciate them on hot days. 1t is not
a pleasant thing for a hen to be com.
PEELED to remain ont in the broiling
sun, with a flock Of little ones. trying
to keep cool. And then so many per
sons forget to give plenty Of fresh
water to their fowls in hot weather,
There is nothing that is more of a
drawback to the health and comfort
of the birds than to be forgotten
when the days are so warm. They
get run down and their systems are
in a condition to get all the diseases
that are going around.-Mlrror and

Now let all these choice specimens
take notice:
We will deposit one thousand or
fifty thousand dollars to be covered by
like amount from them, or any one of
them. and IL 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 wo-
men. 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 tremen-
dous elevators containing the choicest
wheat and barley possible to buy
These grains are carried through long
conveyers to grinding mills. and there
converted into flour. Then the ma
chimes make selection of the proper
quantities Of this -four in the proper
proportion and these parts are blended
into a general flour which passes over
to the big dough mixing machines. there
water, salt and little yeast are added
and the dough kneaded the proper
length of time.
| Remember that previous to the bar
ley 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 it into
dough and Ii has been kneaded long
enough, it is moulded by machinery
into loaves about IS inches long and 8
or inches in diameter. 1t is put into
this shape for convenience in second
cooking.
These great loaves are sliced by ma
ehinery and the slices placed on wire
trays, these trays. in turn, placed on
| great steel trucks, and rolled into the
secondary ovens, each perhaps 70 or so
feet long. There the food is subjected
to long, low heat and the starch
which has not been heretofore trans
| formed, is turned into 4 form Of sugar
generally known as Post Sugar. 1t can
be seen glistening on the granules of
Grape-Nuts II held toward the light,
and this sugar is not poured over or
put on the food as these preyaricators
| lgnorantly assert. On the contrary 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 hickory log after
it has been sawed off and allowed to
stand for length Of time.
This Post Sugar is the most digesti-
BILE food known for human use. 1t is
so perfect In its adaptabllity that moth
ers with very young infants will pour
a little warm milk over two or three
spoonfuls of GrapeNuts. thus washing
the sugar Off from the granules and
carrying 1t with the milk to the bottom
