AFTER GREEN GOODS MEN.
Federal Officers Start Campaign Against
Swindlers in Kcnosha-Former
Mayor Is Their Decoy.

KENOSIIA, Wis April Ill Spn-
cial. with Kcuosha as the base Of
operations, federal officers today began
a fight to capture The fanous gang Of
green goods" swiudlcrs who have been
working in this portion Of the state for
many months. Former Mayor Charles
Pfennig, who recently secured one Of
the green goods" circulars, acted as Il
dccoy for the government agents, and it
is thought possible that members of the
gang will be taken before the day is
over. Acting on instructions, Mr.. pfen-
mig sent a decoy telegram to "Burnsidcs.
New York." and it is thought possible
that the government agents will be able
20 arrest the man TO whom the telegram
is to be delivered.

THIRD PASTURE.

Now we come to Il frisky lot,
the Labor Union" editors. You
know down in Texas IA weed call
ed Loco is sometimes eaten by
a steer and produces a derange
ment of the brain that makes the
steer "batty" or crazy. Many of
these editors are "Locoed' from
hate of anyone who will not i'll
stantly obey the demands" Of a
labor union and it is the univer-
sal habit of such writers to go
straight into system of person
al utilization, manufacturing
any sort of falsehood through
which to vent their 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 editors. When they go far
enough with their libels, is it
harsh for us to get judgments
against them and have our law
yers watch for a chance to attach
money due them from others?
(For they are usually irrespon-
sible.)
Keep your eye out for the 10
coed" editor.

This burst of true American girl in

Now let all these choice specimens
take notice:
We will deposit one thousand or fifty
| 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 GrapeNuts, 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
! factories are so clean that one could,
with good relish, eat a meal from the
! floors.
The work people, both men and wom-
on, are of the highest grade in the state
/ of Michigan, ana 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 GrapeNuts. You Will find tremen-
dous elevat RS containing the choicest
wheat and barley possible to bay. 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 a
little yeast are added and the dough
kneaded 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 n
form Of sugar.
Now after we have passed it into
dough and it 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
shape for convenience in second cook
ing.
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
secondary ovens, each perhaps 70 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
glstening 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 prevarcators ignorantly
assert. On the contrary the sugar OK
udes from the interior of each little
granule during the process of manu-
facture. 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
a length of time.
This Post Sugar is the most digest
ible tod known for human use. 1t is

SO perfect in its adaptability that moth
ers with very young infants will pour
a little warm milk over two or three

HICKS RELEASED.
For Fifteen Days Confined in Living
Tomb.

Bakersfield, Call. B. Hicks, the
miner who was entombed by cave-in
in a tunnel of the Edison Electric
Power Company, December 7th, was
rescued at 11:15 O'Clock Saturday
night, December 22d.
Hicks was entombed alive under
sixty feet of debris fifteen days ago, in
the tunnel of the Edison Electric
Power Company, seventeen miles
northeast of the city. Five of his fel-
low workers were buried at the same
time by the cave in OF thousands of
tons of earth and rock. The men had
just begun work in the tunnel, which
is being built to aid in generating
electric power from the waters of the
Kern river, when, without warning,
the perpendicular walls of the shaft
above them collapsed. No immediate
help could be rendered.
The work of recovering the bodies
was Immediately began and prosecuted
with vigor, but owing to the yield
ing nature of the soil, slow progress
was made. Hope of rescuing any OF
the victims had been abandoned, when
three days after the disaster the sound
of tapping on a water pipe In the
shaft was heard. Instantly a response
was sent, and the answering raps
plainly proved that at least one of the
imprisoned miners was alive.
1t proved to be Hicks, former sol
dier and and expert miner, whose life
had been saved by steel car, under
which he was pinned. His five COM
panions were dead.
Fearing to dislodge the debris in
the shaft, the rescuing party began
nrly ri 10
hill, and work was not suspended day
or night. Hicks was given milk
through the pipe and soon showed
signs of renewed vigor. He said that
during the days previous to his discov-
cry he had subsisted on a plug OF
chewing tobacco. Thereafter during
the long hours of his Imprisonment in
closely-cramped quarters he was kept
well nourished. Every effort was made
made to keep his mind in cheerful
mood, SO that 1t might not become un-
balanced by his surroundings.
The stencil from the remains OF the
dead miners was perceptible at the
surface of the ground and was intense
in close quarters where Hicks was con-
fined. A phonograph was placed so
that the lonely man could be enter
tanned by music. He also was in al
most constant communication with his
friends. Only at rare intervals did he
seem Respondent and frequently sent
words Of cheer to those upon the out
side
His rescue was a most difficult piece
of work, and that it was accomplished
at all is regarded as marvellous by all
those acquainted with the conditions
which were met and overcome.
