Free From Adulteration.

The cereal breakfast foods as 8 class are free from adulteration. This has been demonstrated by analysis in states having pure food laws The manufacturers use good grades of grain, and no injurious materials are used in addition to the grain.
 The cereal substitutes for coffee are considered in recent publication issued by the department of agriculture, and it is stated that they are, as a rule, made from parched grains of barley, or wheat mixed with pea hulls corn cobs or wheat middlings, and are about one-twentieth as nutritive as skinned milk. They are harmless substitutes for real coffee, but like real coffee or tea, have little nutri- tive value.
 The students of breakfast foods who colaborate in a publication as to the be- wildering array of advertised prepara- tions agree that they are as a class nutritious, convenient, clean and fairly economical and that in choosing between the various brands the consumer should be guided by his palate rather than the claims of manufacturers as to the spe- cial values of their formulae with regard to building brains and nerves.
 The breakfast food makers are much more highly spoken of by the analysis than the manufacturers of some other kinds of food.

eQ 8nOGner phySl- cian. Still he grew worse. At the end of about a year and half of suffering he grew so bad had to tie his hands in cloths at night to keep him from scratching the sores and tearing the flesh.
 He got to be mere skeleton, and was hardly able to walk. My Aunt advised me to try Cuticura Soap and Ointment. So great was her faith in it that she gave me small piece of Soap to try and a little of the Oint- ment. I took it home without any faith, but to please her tried it, and it seemed to dry up the sores little.
 "I sent to the drug store and got cake of the Soap and a box of the Ointment and followed the directions, and at the end of about two months the sores were all well. He has never had any sores of any kind since.
 He is now strong and healthy, and I can sincerely say that only for your most wonderful remedies my precious child would have died from those terrible sores. I used only ono cake of Soap and about three boxes of Ointment. (signed) Mrs. Egg bert Sheldon, R. F. D., No. l, Wood- vile, Conn, April 22, 19O5."

So Says the Department of
 Agriculture at Washington
IS. AN ANCIENT FOOD
Departments Experts Trace the EvoIu- tion of the Product Up From
 Early Times-varlous
 Kinds of Cereals.

Washington, May 9-(SpeciaD. After months of study. the department of agri- culture goes upon record in the statement that the much discussed cereal breakfast foods are, as a rule. wholesome and nu- tritive. The man who has attributed his good health to his fondness for what his neighbor calls excelsior can now re- mind his neighbor that he told him so.
 The experts of the department of agri- culture trace the evolution of breakfast food down from ancient times as Dar- win traces the evolution of man. The Arabs have eaten keuskeus for ages. It is a primitive sort of breakfast food, but not unlike some of the sure builders of muscle and brains advertised on bill boards today. The parched corn of the American Indian and the parched oats of the Scotch highlander were breakfast foods in early stages of evolution, and made Sunny Jims of red men on the war path and Scotchmen on border forays.

 | After having read nauseating stories of how beef products are prepared in l certain packeries, it is comforting to 1 learn from the department of agriculture I that breakfast foods are clean. Grains used are very carefully cleaned, and in- genious devices are employed to remove foreign seeds. Husks--formerly only par tially removed-are removed entirely, and the result is a more digestible food. "In comparing the new cereal prepara- tions with the old-fashloned ones.' says a recent bulletin, i've must not forget the neatness with which they are now put up. The old-fashioned foods were badly ground and imperfectly cleaned In small mills it was hard to keep out dirt. and the product was often sold from bins and barrels into which dust could easily find it's way In the modern mill cleanliness has been found to be. and the neat, al- most air-tight packages in which the foods are sold, are, as rule, assurance to the purchaser that they reach him as clean as when they left the mill!

brechts- He went down to the whole
sale grocery house, where he had an
excellent position, every morning at g
o'clock and returned at 6:30-in time
for dinner. Sometimes he spent the
evening in his room, reading an i'm
proving book, sometimes he went out
to hear an improving lecture.
Frarey was totally Indifferent to the
budding charms Of Flora, who was re-
ally as hearty and wholesome a girl
as need be. 1t was a year or two be-
fore she began to bud at all-two
years at least before Frarey took any
notice Of the fact. She wore her first
pompadour for three evenings before
he observed even that. A year later
or whereabouts Frarey, meeting her ia
the hall, saw that she was wearing IN
uncommonly attractive white dress
and mentally remarked that she had
beautiful white teeth that showed to
advantage when she smiled.
Then Flora went away somewhere
to take a course OF the higher educa-
ton. Perhaps Frarey missed her Int
he hardly knew. 1t Is certain that in
a general way and without any refer
ence to anybody in particular he had
occasional thoughts Of settling down in
a home Of his own. 1t would be nice
to have some one to read the improv.
ing books to and to take to the i'm.
proving lectures. That was ali II
amounted to - Just hazy general
thoughts.
But when Flora returned a year
later with charms that now began To
blossom from the bud his reflections
became more definite.

said to himself. "a man needs som..
thing more than pearly teeth and a
rosy complexion to make him comfort.

So he did not encourage her. thouph
when she went away the following
June for her second year, he bought
her "The Stones of Venice" and tbe
North American Review to read on the
train for which she was very CRATE
full.
Time passed and Flora came back.
On the evening Of her arrival what he
called her improvement almost took
Frarey's breath away. Her former
prettiness had become actual beautv
and her conversation, which Mrs. All.
brecht no longer attempted to restrain,
was bright.
The Aext morning Frarey met Flora
on the stairs and as he stood aside to
let her pass she. too, stopped.
"Mr. Frarey," she said, with a
charming air Of embarrassment.
