FRIeHTENs HIS BROTHER RATS.
Rodents win Not Associate WITH
Belled COMPANION.

One OF the old schoolbook stories
OF another generation told about the
ruse OF porter, who caught a rat
and fastened bell to its neck. When
IL was turned loose again and ran
through the building all other rats
left In fright at the strange member
OF their species that was trying to
associate with them.
The 1anitor of bank in Cleveland
followed the idea in this old story
and Il works out just as the school
books say it did Traps set every
night were filled with the rodents,
and yet there seemed to be no end to
thelr ravages. One morning the jani.
tor chloroformed big fellow and fas
tened a wire loop securely to its neck.
To this loop were attached three
tiny tinkling bells, Mr.. Rat was re.

An addition has been made to the
list Of freak vegetation, a scientist
declaring that he recently discovered
In the wilds of Australia a genuine
singing tree. We have heard of the
upas tree. with its deadly odor; the
man-eating tree, whose limbs
stretched forth to grasp and draw
into a fatal embrace the unwary vic
tim, and the balloon tree, which when
Ioosened from the restraint Of all at
tenuated roots arose in air and scared
away above the trackless wilds. But
the singing tree is something new.

EARTHQUAKE AND LANDsLlDEs.
Whole Face Of the Country Has Been
Changed.

Tokio.-one hundred and nine per-

twenty-nine injured in the earthquake
in the southern part of the island OF
Formosa last Saturday, but further de-

roll, as the shock was more severe
than that of March II.
The town of Kago again was the
principal sufferer, the houses which
escaped destruction in the former dis.

also were affected by landslides, which

Clothes and Conduct.

Every man and every woman feels
the influence of clothes and appear
ance upon conduct. You have heard
of the lonely man in the Australian
bush who always put on evening
dress for dinner, so that he might re
member he was a gentleman. Addi-
son could not write his best unless
he was well dressed. Put a naughty
girl into her best Sunday clothes and
she will behave quite nicely Put a
BLACKBOARD into khaki and he will be
hero. Put an omnibus conductor
into uniform and he will live up to
his clothes. Indeed, in a millennium
of free clothes of the latest fashion
we shall all be archangels.-London

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 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 -four. Then the machines make
selection of the proper quantities of this
-four in the proper proportion and these
parts are blended into a 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 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 1t into
dough and 1t has been kneaded long
enough, 1t Is moulded by machinery into
loaves about Is inches long and or 6
inches in diameter. 1t is put into this
shapefor convenience in second cooking.
These great loaves are sliced by ma
| chinery and the slices placed on wire
trays, these trays, inturn, placed on great
steel trucks, and rolled into the second
| airy ovens, each perhaps rs or so feet long.
There the food is subjected to 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 IL 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
1t has been sawed off and allowed to
stand for length of time.
This Posi- Sugar is the most digestible
food known for human use. 1t Is SO per-
fectin its adaptability that mothers with
very young infants will pour a little
warm milk over two or three spoonfuIs
of Grape Nuts, thus washing thesugaro on

Now we come to frisky 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 labor union,
anditis the universal habit Of such
writers to gostraightinto a system
of personal utilization, 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 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? Cor they are usual
ly irresponsible.)

MIRACULOUS ESCAPE.
Two Aged Women Buried Beneath
Ashes, But Escaped Alive.

Naples.--The gravity of the situa.
ton has now shifted to ottajano and
San Giuseppe, where the recovery of
the dead from the debris goes on amid
the misery Of thousands of homeless
refugees. A sensational development
occurred during the work of salvage
at Ottajano Sunday when the search
ers unearthed two aged women, still
alive, but speechless, after six days
entombment. They were among the
hundreds who were crushed beneath
the falling walls during the rain of
stones and ashes the previous Sunday
and Monday. Hope has been aban-
doned of finding any of these persons
alive. The women were protected by
the rafters of the house and had man
aged to exist on few morsels of food
which they had in their pockets.
