In the country the first fishing worm
is a sure pointer that the backbone of
winter has been strained.
ct is in the home in the country
where there is watchful grand
mother and several children, that the
best sign of spring is found. l do not
know where the grandmother gets her
prescience, but 1t is unerring.
'At the very first rising of the sap,
in fact, before vegetation feels the first
thrill of renewing life. the grandmother
has the intimation. When she makes
sassafras tea, then indeed do you know
that spring is nigh.
Occasionally you will find street
peddler in the city with lunches of sas-
safras bark for sale. and you may have
noticed that such peddlers are not of
the ordinary type.
1.-The sassafras dealer on the streets
is always motherly looking woman
with an apron and bonnet that is
never seen in the shops. or a paternal
looking individual who has chin whis-
kers. Country appearances and sassa-
gras go together.
IF l were making book on the
weather - spring weather Il would
hike to the country and wait for the
grandmother to steep her sassafras for
tea. Then | would jump back to the
city and make predictions that would
cause the weather man to quit his job
and find other means of livelihood"

1t is not from disregard of derivation
that the speech is in any serious danger.
Much more harmful is the Difference mis-
takenly paid to 1t. From this results,
says writer in Harper's Magazine, not
unfrequently pedantic and even pain
tul mode of expression in opposition to
the best usage, and that, too, without the
slightest counterbalancing advantage.
A remarkable illustration of this can be
seen In the case of none as the subject
OF plural verb. When and where tho
outbreak Of hostility to this usage first
manifested itself 1t may not be easy to
determine. Apparently it was not until
OF late that anyone ever thought
seriously of questioning the pro-
priety of the construction. But
the fact seems suddenly to have
dawned upon the mind of ZONE
student of speech that none was con-
traction of no one. The processes Of
logic were at once set in motion. No
one is exclusively confined in its con-
struction to the singular; 1t cannot be
used with verb in the plural. In that
all would agree. The conclusion was
at once drawn that the word derived
from 1t must be exactly in the same stu
alton. 1t was therefore highly improper
to use none as the subject of a plural
verb. 1t is needless to say to any per
son who has made himself familiar with
the best usage. either written or spoken,
that none has been and is employed in
differently as singular and a plural;
Ii anything, more frequently In the lat
ter number than in the former. The
study of our best writer's settles that
point decisively. 1t is in the power of
anyone to decide the question for him
self; and it will make little difference
what is the WORK he takes up. At
Miletus, Paul tells his followers of the
bonds and Affections which awaits him
atJerusalem. But none of these things
move me-" he continues, according to
the authorized version which adopts

century versions. None deny there is

Atheism, but those for whom 1t max
eth that there were no God" None

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 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 fac
tories are SO clean that one could, with
good relish, eat a meal from the floors.
The work people, both men and wom-
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 flour. Then the machines make
selection of the proper quantities of this
-four in the proper proportion and these
parts are blended into general -four
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 1t 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 IS inches long and 5 or 6
inches in diameter. 1t is put into this
shape 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
aryovens. each perhaps rs or so feet long
There the food is subjected to a long low
heat and the starch which has not been
heretofore transformed is turned into a
form of sugar generally known as Post
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 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 hickory log after
it has been sawed off and allowed to
stand for a length of time.
This Post Sugar is the most digestible
food known for human use. 1t is SO per-
feet in its adaptability that mothers with
very young infants will pour little
warm milk over two or three spoonfuls
of Grape Nuts, thus washing the sugar. OFF

sLUGGER SENTENCED.
Recorder Golf Denounees Strike Vic.
Ience,

New York.-Recorder Goff, in the
Court of General Sessions, sentenced
Frank Hawkins to the penitentiary for
one year Thursday, and gave strikers
in general some advice. Hawkins, who
is an iron worker, and was at one time
associated with Sam" Parks, was con
victed of assaulting Samuel Anderson.
In passing sentence Recorder Con
said:
las Judge, deem II important to
say to you that the evidence in this
case clearly points to conspiracy OF
which you were one of the conspira-
tors to take this man Anderson, and to
assault him because he was working
instead of the men on strike. That he
was assaulted and brutally beaten and
perhaps permanently injured. there
can be no question.
THAT man Anderson has just as
much freedom and right to work as
you had to refuse to work, and while 1t
is in evidence that you showed that
this man took the bread out of your
children's mouths, you took the bread
out of his children's mouths, and his
children were just as dear to him as
yours were to you.
you disabled him, practically speak
ing. from earning bread for his chill
dren, and surely you. as man. can
not claim that he loved his children
less than you love yours.
THE law gives you and every work
ingman the right to organize for the
betterment of your condition; the right
to sell your labor to the highest bid
der; the right to refuse to labor for
anyone that you don't like; the right
TO withhold your work except on condi-
lions that are agreeable to you.
THE law even goes so far as to ex'
tend to you the right to persuade other
men to adopt the same course. but
when men representing organized la
Dor step over the very broad and gen
erous provisions Of the law and use
violence as an argument to enforce
their views, for their fellow men. t.en
the law is violated and not only the
rights of the individual are trampled
upon, but the peace and safety of the
community are in danger"

English Ess-Layine Contest.

Consul Daniels reports from Shelf
field novel egg-laying competition at
the Lady Warwick Ladies' Agricul-
tural College. The conclusions reached
are that breed does not govern so
much as the laying strain or families
of breed highly developed as egg pro-
ducers. The pen of four Buff Orping-
tons led from October 10th to Novem-
Der 10th by producing forty-nine eggs.
and again on November 10th to Decem-
Der 18th with 100 eggs. One thing
the present competition shows is the
little help it is to birds to be what
show enthusiasts call beautifully
Marked for as often as not it is the
ordinary looking competitor, birds a
show judge would laugh at, that have
the biggest total of eggs to their credit.
In the winter laying competition what
stands bird in good stead is not that
its father was the winner of a medal.
but that its mother and grandmother
were wonderful layers, and that its
male parents also came from good
laying strain.
