This burst Of true American girl indig-
nation was caused by the teacher saying
that Grape Nuts, the popular pre-digest-
ed food, was made of stale bread shipped
in and sweetened.
The teacher colored up and changed
the subject.
There is quite an assortment Of travel
ing and stay-at-home members of the
tribe of Ananias who tell their false
hoods for variety of reasons.
In the spring 1t is the custom on cat
tleranch to have round up" and brand
the cattle, SO we are going to have a
"round up," and brand these cattle and
place them in their proper pastures.

FIRST PASTURE.

Cooking school teachers-this
includes "teachers" who have ap-
piled to us for weekly pay II 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 bya 4
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 small magazine
in which there Is a department
Of answers to correspondents"
many of the questions as well as
lue duS "clo ucluS "liIISA w lAS
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
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.

Ventilat;nu the Shoes.

"One thing that most persons with
tender feet who insist upon wearing
patent leather shoes in warm weather
don't know" said a salesman in a
Broadway store, 'is that small hole
bored on either side of the shoe, about
one inch from the sole and close to the
instep, will give them more comfort
than all the foot ease powders ever
manufactured The holes pump in the
air while the wearer is walking and
keep the feet cool."-New York Times

THIRD PASTURE.

Now we come to fris!ly lot, the
Labor Union editors. You know
down in Texas weed called
LOCO" is sometimes eaten by
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 will not instantly obey
the demands" of 4 labor unicn,
andit is the universal habit of such
writer's to 80 straight into system
of personal vilitication, manufac-
turing any sort of falsehood
through which to venttheir spleen.
We assert that the common citizen
has a right to live and breathe air
without asking permission of the
labor trust and this has brought
down on us the hate of these edi-
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? (For they are usual
ly irresponsible.)
Keep your eye out for the "Lo-
coed" editor.

To Save Niagara Falls

Washington--A practical plan for
utilizing the water power of Niagara
river without destroying the scenic
beauty of the falls has been tentative
ly agreed upon by the house commit
tee on rivers and harbors. A minimum
diversion of $4,000 cubic feet per sec
ond, sufficient to generate 100000
horse power, has been set 1t is esti-
mated that $1,000 cubic feet a second
is the maximum that can be diverted
without injury to the falls. The COM
mittee, instead of setting maximum,
will authorize the secretary of war to
grant irrevocable permits for each
new penstock to be opened. The eff
feet of the opening of each pentstock
will be closely watched, so that as the
quantity above the minimum is in
creased the effect of each additional
penstock upon the falls will be de-
termined. The bill will discourage
the construction Of any additional pow
er plants, and no greater quantity of
water will be used on this side of the
boundary than this government is will
ling Canada should use.
