FIRST PASTURE.

Cooking school teachers-this
includes teachers" who have APP
piled to us for a weekly pay if they
would say something nice about
Grape-Nuts and Postum, and when
we have declined to hire them TO
do this they get waspy and show
their true colors.
This also includes "demonstra-
tors" and Lecturers" sent out by a
certain Sanitarium to sell foods
made there, and these people in
structed by the small-be-whis-
kered doctor-the head of the in
stitution-to tell these prevarica-
tions (you can speak the stronger
word if you like). This same little
doctor conducts a small magazine
in which there is a department
of answers to correspondents"
many of the questions as well as
the answers being written by the
aforesaid doctor.
In this column some time ago
appeared the statement: "No, we
cannot recommend the use of
Grape-Nuts for it is nothing but
bread with glucosepoured over it. :"
Right then he showed his badge as
a 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.
When the young lady in New
York put the iron on to this
teacher" and branded her right
we sent $1,000 to the girl for her
pluck and bravery.

Earthquakes are due to discharges
of electricity between strata OF good
conductivity and insulating strata, like
granite and silica. is the view, OF Prof.
Pilsudski. The discharges generate
gases. to which the observed effects
are mainly due.
The explosion of a radium tube re-
ported by German investigator gives
an idea of the force the emitted gas
may store up when confined. A small
tube of glass a fiftieth of an inch
thick contained half grain of the
purest radium bromide, and after hav-
ing been sealed up II months it had
been placed in bath of liquid air.
Three minutes after removal the tube
burst The glass and the radium were
scattered about, the particles of the
latter shining in the dark like star
ry sky. and it is estimated that pres
sure of 20 atmospheres was exerted.

hands.

the boy. rebelliously. Then he whis-

be miserable about it.
Flo he whispered again, waiting for
her to speak.
Still silence. and presently Jimmy,
with a sore trouble dulling his honest
ewes rolled over and buried his face in
the heather. Half an hour passed.
The vision of Cecil Herrick with a
bleeding nose had proved too much for
Flo's romantic and artistic nature; but
still though she loved him no longer,
she was decidedly unhappy. She felt
very lonely.
The bright summer sky dazzled her
aves when she first uncovered them, but
through a mist she perceived that JIM
nv was still there. Somehow she ex-
nerienced feeling of relief. She shook
hack her hair and drew down her
skirt. but she forgot to wish for hairpins
and long dresses.

over him.
"Flo" he murmured in cholzed voice,
still hiding his shame-flushed face.
A tress of her dark hair slipped over
her shoulder. fell between his elbow and
his cheek. and fingered there. After a
little while he moved slightly but the
tress lay on his lips He put out one
hand blindly, and. strangely enough,
it found the girls fingers Immediately.

THINGS TO REMEMBER.

Good corn and more of it should be
our motto this year.
Plain people like plain parsley, but
curly parsley pleases particular people
Redtop does we'll on soils which
are acid and has the preference over
timothy for such soils.
improvement in fruits and cultivated
plants, is an abiding evidence OF hui
man progress.
If you have good success with a
thing, stick to it for a money maker
while experimenting on something
else.
The world can get along without the
Wall street manipulators; but the man
who raises good corn and potatoes is
indispensable.
Lay the garden all out in nice,
straight rows. drill the seed in even
and straight, and keep it well tended
with the wheel hoe, and gardening will
be the pleasure that it should be.

to be reached from the floor. 1t is
manipulated by the lever B. This
should be heavy enough to overbal-
ance the weight of the piece marked
A. There is a pin in the door below
the level to keep the latter from fall
ing below. The advantage of this
latch over the one-piece swinging
lever, says the Orange Judd Farmer, is
that it never swings out where it
would be in the way. 1t is self-adjust-
able in case the door says. The piece
can be adjusted to suit the size of the
door. 1t is easily constructed and
cheap, there being no materials used
other than those found on every farm.

THE PEOPLE THEMSELVES.
And Mere Representative Was No
Great Shakes Among Them,
Anyhow.

Senator Hemenway tells of an incident
that occurred during a political campaign
IN Iowa.
In one Of the towns it had been ar
ranged that, when the big orators Of the
day had had their say with reference TO
politics, there were to be number OF
entertainments of the side-show variety to
he held on the common.
a pompous politician, who had served a
term in the state legislature, and was by
reason of that fact on extremely good
terms with himself, while endeavoring
with number of ladies to make his way
through a dense crowd that surrounded
one Of the shows, found himself unable to
proceed further because of a burly indi-
dividual whom he could not thrust aside.
Drawing himself up to his full height the
politician tapped the offending one on the
shoulder, saying as he did so: Here!
Make way there!"
who are you, that you should push me
round that way" demanded the native.
"A representative of the people, sir!"
exclaimed the politician, Indignantly.
the man grinned. "Oh, that amt
nothin'," said he I'VE folks here air the

Are you coming back?" demanded

Jimmy's left arm bent and straight
ened. and Herrick went down like Q
nine-pin ON the floor
A moment later Jimmy stood on the
platform, painting. oblivious to the in
dignant observations of an elderly
porter who had nervously cursed TO see
the boys flying leap from the moving
train.
Flo heard footsteps approaching, but
she lay STILL Her breath came and went
more rapidly than was natural, and she
knew her cheeks were growing warm.
She decided to feign sleep If only to show
Cecil that his coming was not really ex-
pected The soft cracking of heather
sounded nearer. and she shut her eyes
tightly, and tried to command her
breath.
The footsteps slowed and stopped.
"Flo!" said Jimmy, softly.
She shivered, but pretended not to
hear.
He repeated her name; so. controlling
herself, she sat up and stared at him, as
if suddenly reused from slumber.
I'm awfully sorry, Flo said the
boy, humbly.
81 was afraid you would be too late, 7"
she returned, coolly, yet feverishly
clinging to the last straw.
81 wasn't too late he said. little in
dignant at the insinuation against his
running powers.
The girl said nothing as she looked
straight in front of her.
81 saw Herrick, but he wouldn't
wait" said Jimmy, nervously, seating
himself at little distance.
Something serious must have called
him to town." said Flo, in her most lady
like voice.
Eyes; he's going to dine with man,
said the boy sarcastic for the first time
in his life.

Now let all these choice specimens
| take notice:
We will deposit one thousand or
| ffty 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 a 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 Iac-
tories are so clean that one could, with
good relish, eat meal from the floors.
The work people, both men and Eom-
en-. are of the highest grade in the state
| of Michigan, and according to the state
| labor reports, are the highest paid III
| 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
! flour in the proper proportion and these
parts are blended into a general touI
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 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 10 inches long and or
| inches in diameter. 1t is put into this
shape for convenience in second cooking
! These great Ioaves 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
aryovens, each perhaps rs or 80 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 Posi-
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 preVarl-
! 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 after
/ it has been sawed off and allowed TO
stand for length of time.
| This Post Sugar is the most digestible
1 food known for human use. 1t is so per-
/ fectin its adaptability that mothers with
| very young infants will pour little
warm milk over two or three spoonfuls
! of Grape-Nuts, thus washing thesugar of
! from the granules and carrying it with

THIRD PASTURE.

Now we come to frisky lot, the
Labor Union editors. You know
down in Texas a weed called
Loco" is sometimes eaten by Il
steer and produces arrangement
of the brain that makes the steer
"batty" or crazy. Many of these
editors are 'Locoed" from hate of
anyone who willnot instantly obey
the demands of a labor union,
and it is the universal habit of such
writer's to go straight into system
of personal vilification, manufac-
turing any sort of falsehood
through which to vent their spleen.
We assert that the common citizen
has right to live and breathe air
without asking permission of the
labor trust and this has brought
down on us the hate Of these edl-
tors. When they go far enough
with their libels, is it harsh for us
to get Judgment against them and
have our lawyers watch for a
chance to attach money due them
from others? Cor they are usual
ly irresponsible.)
