MEAT OR CEREALS.
Question Of Interest to All Careful
Persons.

Persons.
Arguments on food are interesting
Many persons adopt vegetarian diet
on the ground that they do not like to
feel that life has been taken to feed
them. nor 90 they fancy the thought of
eating dead meat.
On the other hand, too great con-
sumption Of partly cooked, starchy oats
and wheat or white bread, pastry, ETC.,
produces serious bowel troubles, be-
cause the bowel digestive organs
(where starch is digested), are over
taxed and the food ferments, producing
gas, aud microbes generate in the de-
cayed food, frequently bringing on peri
tonitis and appendicitis.
Starchy food is absolutely essential
to the human body. Its best form is
shown in the food ''Grape-Nuts," where
the starch is changed into a form of
sugar during the process of its manu-
facture. In this way, the required food
is presented to the system in a pre-di-
gested form and is Immediately made
into blQod and tissue, without taxing
the digestive organs.
4 remarkable result in nourishment
is obtained; the person using Grape
Nuts gains quickly in physical and
mental strength. Why in mental? Be-
cause the food contains delicate par
ticles of Phosphate of Potash obtained
from tie grains, and this unites with
tie altNmen of all food and the combi-
nation is what nature uses to rebuild
worn out cells in the brain. This is
scientific fact that can be easily proven

we had to be raised a million times, and

Orphans.

Two of the young friends of Bishop
Wilberforce, of Oxford. gave the au-
thorities of the university so much
trouble that they won the nicknames of
Hophni and Phinehas.
One day, says I. H. s. Escott, in
Society in the Country House, they
were lounging about the hall at Guides
don palace. singing the Lutheran refrain,
THE devil is Dead when the bishop
suddenly appeared.
He walked very gently up to them,
and in his most caressing manner, plac-
ing one hand on each head, said, in con-
solatory tone:

sure greater accuracy. Accordingly he
designed the implement shown in the
illustration. 1t comprises a pair of
knives, containing numerous cutting
teeth. The knives are attached to piv-
Oted handles, one knife moving over
the other. When the latter are grasp
ed, one in each hand, considerable
power can be applied to the cutter,
whereby over a foot of the hedge can
be trimmed in a single cut. 1t would
be impossible, with this tool, to trim
too much in spots, forming an uneven
surface to the hedge. The extreme
length of the blades insures an even
cut throughout.

something like this: In camp one morn

it's big one, for it seems to be all over

pounds On seeing him the captain
found him looking rather blue, and in
structed the first sergeant to send him
to the surgeon in charge of a corporal.
Soon after breakfast the captain saw
the corporal and asked him how the man

The Collie Dog.

The intelligence of the collie is be-
lieved by many to come as near to hui
man thought as that of any animal,
and it is possible to teach them so
many things that some very remarka-
BILE stories are told about them.
They are for this reason the great
sheep dog, and no Scotch herder would
attempt to get along without his col
lies, with which he lives alone far off
on the hills, says the Circle.
And that is saying nothing of their
beauty and charm as companions.

They are the best household filing ar

How Book Learning Pays.


Book learning" for farmers has
been a thing to laugh at in the past.
1t used to be thought that an almanac
and one or two patent office reports
were all a man needed to make him
competent to run q farm" We are
getting past that day, and doing it at a
pretty fast pace, in our times Think
Of the report just published by the
commissioners appointed couple of
years ago in the State of Louisiana to
investigate crop pests, with particular
reference to the boil weevil and the ter
rible injury it has wrought to the cot
ton crop. For two years these commits
siOners have been studying and eXper-
Red river region, and now they send
word out to the world that they have
succeeded in growing cotton that can
not be hurt by the boil weevil Just
how they have done this we must wait
to learn. The great fact is that they
have done it. Think what this will
mean in money to the farmers of the
cotton growing States! Nor will the
benefit of their work stop there Other
people than the cotton growers are in
terested in cotton. We all have use
for the plant and its products. From
the poor man down in the most obscure
quarter of the city to the millionaire
in his beautiful home, we all need cot
ton in some form or other. And book
farming" cuts the cloud which has
hung over the men who grow the plant
and lets the sunshine out all over the
world.
