ORIGIN OF "TWENTY-THREE"
Hero of Dickens Story Who Died on
the Guillotine Was in Line on
That Number.

Dickens lovers have no trouble these
days in proving that all of our sup
posed up-to-date Americanisms are
merely stolen expressions from their
favcrite author. They have indeed
found that Dickens used many phrases
and expressions that have been taken
up to-day as universal Dy-words, and
the latest acquisition of the enthuS-
lasts of this sort is told in the state
preston "twenty-three," which in the
yernacular of the present is used to
express "all in" chase yourself"
'skiddoo," the end" and many other
things.
1t will be remarked by anybody, says
the Kansas City Star, that in the
last chapter of "The Tale of Two Cit
les" Dickens describes the procession
of human-leaden tumbrils to the gull
lotine. In one of them is Sidney Car
ton, the hero. In a garden overlook
ing the hideOus machine is a group of
old wOme knitting. AS the heads fall
in the basket one after another the
women knit stealthily and count them
out loud. The paragraph describing
the last moments of Sidney Carton
reads thus:
The murmuring of many voices,
the upturning Of many faces, the
pressing On of many footsteps in the
outskirts of the crowd, so that il
swells forward in a mass, like one
great heave of water, all flashes away.
Twenty-three!"
There you have it.. You can take il
for what ii is worth.

One Farmer Who Has Tried It Rec

What is the best plan Of arrange

question. Some have advocated brick
floors, while others will have moth

on the subject is that it is almost
impossible to keep the feeding yard

Drain Upon Forests.

The work of the forest service in
gathering statistics of forest products
for the last year has furnished the
basis for a provisional statement of
the wood consumed in the manufac.
ture of paper pulp. Returns from 1855
firms, controlling 232 pulp mills, give
over 5000, 900 cords as the total
amount of wood used. The wood use0
was divided among the various proc.
esses as follows: Sulphite, 1888, 900
cords; soda, 100000 cords; ground
wood, 1,06S, 900 cords. The total pulu
production by all processes by the
firms reporting was 1898, 900 TONS.
According to the census of 1900, the
consumption of pulpwood was then
], 986,310 cords, so that there has been
an increase of more than so per cent.
in the last six wears. This demon
.strates, in a striking manner the
drain upon the forests caused by the
pulp industry.

BREAD DYSPEPSIA.
The Digesting Element Left Out.

-
Bread dyspepsia is common. 1t af-
rects the bowels because white bread is
nearly all starch, and starch is digested
in the intestines, not in the stomach
proper.
Up under the shell of the wheat berry
nature has provided a curious deposir
which Is turned into diastase when il is
subjected to the saliva and to the pam
creatic juices in the human intestines.
This diastase is absolutely necessary
to digest starch and turn it into grape
sugar, which is the next form; but thai
part of the wheat berry makes dark
flour, and the modern miller cannon
readily sell dark flour, so natures val
liable digester is thrown out and the
human system must handle the starch
as best it can, without the help that ma.
ture intended.
Small wonder that appendicitis. peri-
tonitis, constipation and all sorts of
trouble exist when we go so contrary
to natures law. The food experts thar
perfected Grape-Nuts Food, knowing
these facts, made use in their experi-
ments of the entire wheat and barley
including all the parts, and subjected
them to moisture and long continued
warmth, which allows time and the
proper conditions for developing the
dlastase, outside of the human body.
In this way the starchy part is trans
formed into grape-sugar in a perfect
ly natural manner, without the use of
chemicals or any outside ingredients.
The little sparkling crystals of grape
sugar can be seen on the pieces of
Grape-Nuts. This food therefore ~
naturally pre-digested and it's use in
place OF bread will quickly correct the
troubles that have been brought about
by the too free use Of starch in the
food, and that is very common In the
human race to-day.
The eeffct of eating Grape-Nuts ten
DAYS or two weeks and the discontin-
uance OF ordinary white bread ia verv
marked. The user will gain rapidly in

The Worlds Wheat.

1t Seems "a -.-ious thought that the
supremacy or western civilization
the ascendency of the wh~eat-eaters
over the rice-eaters-may ultimately
depend upon tie discovery of some
cheap process OF producing nitrates;
but so eminent an authority as Sir
william Ramsey is sponsor for the
statement. More than five years ago,
says Youths Companion, Sir William
Crookes declared the population of the
world to be increasing so rapidly that
In a short time the supply of wheat
would be insufficient. Since then prog
ress has been made in several ex-
periments directed toward increasing
the worlds harvest of wheat. Never
theless, many scientific men feel that
a wheat famine within a few genera
lions is among the possibilities. Eff
forts toward averting or postponing
this condition are directed: First, to-
ward increasing the process
which is self-limited; secondly, toward
increasing the yield per acre by i'm
proving the seed and selecting that
which is best suited to the locality
where 1t is to be planted; thirdly, to-
ward increasing the crop by feeding
the plants more generously with nitro
gen through alienation with nodule-
producing leguminous plants-a proc
ess developed in the United States de-
partment of agriculture; and, fourth
ly, by the manufacture Of nitrates. For
years the supply of nitrates has come
from Chilli, but that source is nearing
exhaustion. The sewage of cities
would supply enormous quantities if
there could be found some method of
saving and applying it which would
not endanger public health. 1t is es-
timated that $780, O0, 900 worth of fer
tilizer goes annually to waste in this
way in England alone. The artificial
manufacture, or rather the fxation, of
nitrogen looks to the air as the great
source of supply. But the processes

s1ve. Many patents have been issued.
One of the latest plants is that at
S~vaelgfoss, Norway, in which &C water
fall of 10000 horsepower has been
utilized to generate electricity, by
which nitrogen is taken from the air
and absorbed by lime. The resulting
calcium nitrate is a powerful fertil.
izer. In this problem the young chem
lists and the young electricians of to-
day have a work which will tax the
ables and ought to satisfy the most
ambitious.

BRICKED OUTDOOR FEED LOT

edgewise into the ground. The feed
punks are placed inside the shed, as
shown in the cut.
The yards and shelter are designed
TO accommodate about so cattle. In
dry weather the cattle remain in the
larger yard a considerable portion OF
the time. The advantage of the pave
ment is chiefly in giving the cattle
easy access to water and shelter. "a
steer will generally eat pretty we'll
even standing in the mud" says Mr.
chester, but my experience has beer.
That a fat steer will take less water
than he needs if he must work to get
TO 1t, and will not take proper advan
tage OF shelter unless it is where he
can reach it easily. There is no cues
zion In my mind of the wisdom OF
paving the area adjacent to water and
shelter In a muddy locality"
The shelter consists of a building
20 by 26 feet, 2O-foot posts, with two
wings, each 20 by 80 feet. The Dor
ton used as c~attle-shelter is thus &c
by 81 feet. On the upper floor of the
middle portion is stored dry corn-fod
der run through an ensilage cutter
Ihls is fed into the hunks below
through an open shaft at the front OF
the bin. Another bin 10 by 20 feet
occupies the lower floor of the mail
building, and corn can thus be stored
a few steps from the feed hunks so as
10 be fed easily by basket if desired.

INGENIOUS GEORGE
(From the Carson News)

George A. Bartlett, is to say the
least, and ingenious fellow and
when he is on the stump he be-
becomes the more plausible. When
the gentleman strikes his favorite
attitude with head thrown for
ward, fists clinched and that set
expression of his features he is
very convincing and often inn
presses his hearers be is muchly in
earnest. 1t was in this attitude.
that he announced that he had
been maligned, that the Republi-
cans were throwing mud at him
and his associates the re-
publicans had begun it in Carson
City.
Mr.. Bartlett apparently forgot
his bitter attack upon the integrity
and ability of James F. Mitchell at
at Tonopah; forgot that he stated
thing which were wholly untrue
and no gentleman would stood to
utter; forgot that he had utterd un-
truths against George Springmeyer,
candidate for attorney general.
Geo. A. Bartlett may be great
man; some say so, among them
Mr. Bartlett, but be cannot resort
to the elemental tricks of the
orator to befuddle the people or to
utilize them in place of honest,
conscientious dealing.

Last Friday evening the Re-

rousing and enthusiastic political
meetings ever held in Douglas

ed to the doors The town was
ablaze with bonfres and brass
band made things lively.
George Springmsyer was the

when introduced by Chairman

greeted this son of Carson Valley.
His expositions of the doctrines of
the Republican principles and the
telling blows that his party has,
and is, dealing the trusts of the

that Republicanism docs not foster
trusts, as the Democrats would
wish one to believe. The able
manner in which Mr.. Springmey-
er handled his subjects would con-

have an inning, and as Chas.

to 60 some" The be-. sres were
appreciated as the e, l..ng was
cold and before the speakers ar
rived at the hall, politics we're
freely discussed by the "flreside."
H. A. n. Todd acted as chair
man of the meeting, and wore a
smile of complete confidence as
he introduced etch candidate as
the "next so-andso" of Nevada.
.. S. Dickerson, candidate for
Lieutenant Governor, was the first
speaker, He said the office to
which he aspires was not one of
political bearing and party ties
should not keep Republicans from
voting for him. After some re-
marks in behalf of John Sparks he
thanked his hearers and took his
seat.
Frank Mannix, candidate for
6ecretary of State, followed and
was declared by many as the best
speaker in the Democratic forces.
He is of what is termed the "nsw
blood" of Nevada, being booster
of Bullfrog mines.
John Sparks James Sweeney,
and other speakers made brief re-
marks and were we'll received.
Geo. Bartlett delved into state
and national politics. However,
he failed to exposit the brilliant
record of Congressman VanDuzer,
he who trod upon the honor of the
State of Nevada. He did not
tell of the achievements of Cleve-
land, the last Democratic president.
He did have the assumption, how
ever,Ito assert that the Republican
nominee for Attorney General was
was not qualified and untried.
Automobiles were in waiting and
the candidates left for Carson inn

BARTLETT'S DREAM
Communicated by Rex

At the Democratic meeting Mon
day night, Geo. Bartlett saw fit to
assail the ability of Geo. Spring
meyer, the Republican nominee for
Attorney General, for the pre-
sumed pursose of conveying the
idea that if Mr.. Springmsyer should
be elected, the affairs of the State
woul fall in the hands of one who
is untried. In behalf of Stoddard,
the Democratic nominee, he urged
his election on the strength that he
had acted as city attorney of Reno,
and for that single reason, claimed
him the qualified candidate.
Whatever argument may be ad-
vanced againt the Republican
nominee, it cannot be truthfully
said that he lacks the ability. Mr..
Springmeyer is graduate of the
University of Nevada, Stanford
University of California and Har-
ward She foremost law college in
the most progressive nation of
the world. Does the fact that he
graduated from these institutions of
learning signify that this candidate
is lacking ability? No, to any
fair-minded man they stand as
credentials unparalleled. Aside
from his high education in law,
Springmeyer is blessed with as
much horse sense as any man in
Nevada-and don't you forget it.
The accusations of Bartlett are as
false as they are foolish and we
would much rather credit them
to puerile source than one Geo.
Bartlett.

copper, yet gold and silver values
are combined in the rock. Earl

place are the heaviest owners and
are enthusiastic over their holdings
II the returns from the first ship
ment meet their expectations, the
property will be worked on a large
scale.
This mine was worked years ago,
when the method of working COP
per ore was far from the scientific
process IN use at the present day.
For this reason the owners feel
satisfied that the ore will return TO
them handsome values for their
work.
