Grape-Nuts is the most scientifically
made food on the market. 1t is per-
fectly and completely cooked at the
factory and can be served at an in
stant's notice. either with rich cold
cream, or with hot milk if hot dish
is desired. When milk or water is
used, a little sugar should be added,
but when cold cream is used alone
the natural grape-sugar, which can be
seen glistening on the granules, is sur
ficiently sweet to satisfy the palate.
This grape-sugar is not poured over
the granules, as some people tnlnk,
but exudes from the granules in the
process of manufacture, when the
starch Of the grains is changed from
starch to grape-sugar by the process
of manufacture. This. in effect, is the
frat act of digestion; therefore, Grape
Nuts food is pre-digested and is most
perfectly assimilated by the very
weakest stomach. There's a Rea-

me she wouldn't let me- see her face
perhaps she is a trifie ashamed OF
her ignominious collapse at the table
this morning after she had expressed
so much bravery only the moment be-

but wish she did not take 1t so seri-

Nothing was said at the luncheon
table about the affair of the morning,
and Miss Weston's vacant chair seem
ed to give an air of gloom to the
whole party.
In the afternoon | wandered about
the grounds by myself, trying to de-
eide what / ought to do. The guam

surmounted, for, while realized that
my duty to Miss Carney, as well as
my own personal inclinations in the
matter, called upon me most impera-
lively to clear up this mystery prompt
ly and at any cost, l was still con-
WINGED that Miss Weston's share in
the affair was entirely unexpected by
her and due to no wilful act of her
own, and the pathetic appeal in her
eyes when l handed her Mrs. Bruce

serve her secret faithfully for the
present at least.
1t was beginning to grow dark as |

when about half way up the ghost

path that led to the river, ] saw Miss
Weston coming slowly toward me. She
must have heard my step at the same
instant, and, looking up, she fastened
to my side and laid her hand on my

them without the slightest difficulty"
AS said these words / thanked my
lucky stars that / had taken the pre-
caution to keep Miss Carney in ig-
norance concerning the cigar case and
the odor of the rags that we found in
jerks possession. For my part, the
mystery of Carney-Croft seemed to be
growing deeper and deeper, and yet
felt it my duty to my hostess to make
as light of the matter as possible, es-
pecially in the presence of her other
guests.
After breakfast Miss Carney and
walked down toward the river to-
gether and passed the spot where Mac
Ardel had questioned jerks and the
widow.
This is where you saw the ghosts,
isn't it?' asked Miss Carney, with
little nervous shudder

so sure that we already had bigger

Il do hope they won't come back

most as much upset over it as Annie
was. But she is not at all well, Mr..
Ware. Do you know, l really think she
is growing weaker and weaker every

LIFE INSURANCE A SACRED
TRUST.
Responsibilities Of Officers and d.
rectors.

Evidently President Kingsley of the
New York Life Insurance company
has learned the great lesson OF the
times with respect to the responsible
ity and duty of directors of corpora
tions. Speaking to the new board OF
trustees. on the occasion of his cleo
ton to the presidency, he emphasized
the fact that life insurance is more
than a private business, that life in
surance trustees are public servants,
charged at once with the obligations
of public service and with the respon-
sibilities that attach TO going bust
ness which at the same time must be
administered as trust"
He also realizes that similar respon-
sibilities rest upon the officers of the
company. Il understand" he says,
your anxiety in selecting the men
who are day by day to carry this bur
den for you, who are to discharge this
trust in your behalf, who are TO adj
minister for the benefit of the people
involved the multitudinous and exact
for you to give personal attention. My
long connection with the New York
Life-covering nearly twenty years
my service in about every branch OF
the company's working organization,
gives me, as / believe, a profound ap-
probation, not merely of the heavy
burden you have placed on my shout
ders. but of the standards of efficiency,
the standards of faith, the standards
of integrity, which must be main
tanned at all times by the man who
serves you and the policyholders in
this high Office
Best of all, perhaps, he feels that
words are cheap, and that the public
will be satisfied with nothing short OF
performance. My thanks, therefore"
he continues, "for an honor which out
ranks any distinction within the reach
of my ambition. cannot be expressed
in words; they must be read out OF
the record make day. by day"

CHAPTER XVI.
From Another ANGLE.

Miss Carney knew nothing of the
letter that Miss Weston had received
from Mrs. Bruce, and when l saw her
again. Just before luncheon, she ex-
pressed great concern over her friends
condition.
DO you know. Mr.. Ware" she said
anxiously, Annie was dreadfully up
set over that note this morning. She
has shut herself in her room all day
and even refuses to see me. have
Just tried to persuade her to come
down to luncheon. but she won't do 1t.
and says she doesn't want anything
sent up, either. She has so little
strength now that it worries me to
have her go without her meals in this
way. and then. she has been crying,
too. which is very bad for her and a
thing that she almost never does. !

NO MORE C. 0. D. LIQUORA
Express Companies Need not Garry
Such Shipments to Kansas.
Judge Pollock Revokes Former Or
der-Common Carriers Under No
Obligation to Receive Goods

Kansas City, July 6.-Judge John c.
Pollock of the United States circuit
court, revoked the mandatory order
Friday morning compelling express
companies to carry c. o. D. liquor
and denied the temporary injunction
against the Wells-Fargo Express COM
pany and the Pacific Express company
asked by the HarvestKing Distilling
company.
All technicalities raised by the at
torneys for the compliments were
waived and Judge Pollock decided
the case purely on its merits. After
quoting several authorities the Judge
said in his order:
ut is clear that express companies
are under no obligation or duty in
common law to engage in c. O. D.
carriage of goods. but that the obliga-
lion imposed TO collect the purchase
price of the article shipped is an OBJ
legation that must rest in contract and
not in an obligation imposed by laws
Several express companies announ-
ced, May 10, that they would no long
er carry C. o. D. liquor shipments
into Kansas. giving as their reasons
that public sentiment is opposed to
such traffic in the face of the Kansas
prohibition law. The manager OF one
of the express companies said that
he had decided it was morally wrong
to carry c. o. d. liquor shipments
even though it was permitted by the
interstate commerce law.
The attorneys for the distiiling COM
panies urged that the express com
panies had no legal right to refuse
C. o. d. shipments of liquor. Judge
Pollock issued mandatory order
June ] compelling the express COM
panies to carry the C. o. D. ship
ments until the questions at issue
might be presented TO ting court IN
proper form. This order he has re-
voked

GOODWEDDINGCAKE
HOW TO MIX INGREDIENTS WITH
BEST RESULTS.
Rich Materials Need to Be Carefully
Handled if Success Is Desired
Right Temperature OF
Oven Is Important.

Old-fashioped wedding cake-trult
for this should be prepared IN al
vance as follows Six cups OF cur
rants. washed dried and picked.
Three cups sultana raisins; three cups
of citron cut in fine strips, one-half
cup candied lemon peel, two cups
of almonds, blanched and cut in
shreds. In warm bowl mix TOUR
cups of sugar, graduated or coniec-
toner's, beat these together until very
light. Break ten eggs into another
bowl. but do not beat them. Cover
waiter with big sheet of paper; SILT
four pints -four over this, add the
fruit and the following spices; two
teaspoons each of nutmeg, mace and
cinnamon, one tablespoon each OF
cloves and allspice. Mix these togetb-
err and stand aside ready for use.
Have ready in little pitcher one-half
pint best brandy. Select deep cake
tin and grease with butter, line it in
side with white paper and on the out
side and bottom with four or five
thicknesses of very coarse wrapping
paper. which you must tie on. Have
your oven hot and the fire banked so
it will not burn out quickly. Now
beat the butter and sugar once more,
add the eggs two at time, beating
the mixture after each addition.
When the eggs are all used, turn in
the -four and fruit with brandy, mix
thoroughly, pour into the prepared
cake tin, cover with several thick
nesses of brown paper, and bake eight
hours, keeping the oven steady and
clear. Remove from the oven and al
low it to stand on tin sheet until
quite cold. Ice with thin coat OF
white icing top and sides and stand
in a cool oven to dry, then give it a
second coat of thick icing and orna-
ment according TO fancy. An icing
made of white Of egg few drops OF
cold water and confectioner' sugar
is the best for the thick icing.
An excellent white cake for the
bride to cut is this: Take the whites
of eight eggs stifly beaten, one pound
of flour. one cup of sweet milk. one
half pound of butter (scant, one-haii
teaspoonful of soda, two teaspoonfuls
of cream of tartar. Cream the but
ter and sugar and add slowly the
milk and soda, dissolving the soda
in tepid water. Sift the cream of tar
tar with the flour and add the flour
alternately with the whites of eggs.
Flavor with vanilla, and bake in a
square loaf, or a round tube tin.
Claret punch: If liquor in mild
form is to he served, the following
punch will be found most satisfac-
tory: Put in the bottom of your punch
bowl six tablespoonfuls of puVerized
sugar, Juice of six oranges and nine
| lemons, half pint of red curacao, or
some similar liqueur, one pint OF
brandy. six bottles of plain soda and
six quarts of claret. Sliced fruit, like
pineapple oranges, strawberries. etc,
add to the beauty of the punch and
also to the flavor.

Soap Bubble Hanging from a Reed"

Our life is but a soap bubble hang
ing from a reed; it is formed, expands
10 its full size. clothes itself with the
loveliest colors of the prism, and even
escapes at moments from the law of
gravitation: but soon the black speck
appears in it and the globe of emerald
and gold vanishes into space, leaving
behind it nothing but simple drop
of turSid water. All the poets have
made this comparison, it is so strik-
ing and so true. To appear, to shine,
to disappear; to be born, to suffer and
10 die: is it not the whole sum OF
life, for butterfly, for a nation, for
star?-Henry Frederic Amiel.

fine and grand in the form of a public

ing to entice the most fastidious, but
apologies for this condition by saying
that the beach" was hurriedly opened be-
fore it was ready and that it will an
swer the purpose for the present, as far
as the boys are concerned
But just wait until next year" the
Commissioner says When we open the
beach next spring Washington will have
something to be proud of, and, unless 1
am a bad guesser, it will have a public
bathing place that will compare favor
ably with anything of its kind in the
country. The bath houses, with hun
dreds of clean, comfortable lockers, are
all that could be desired; there is natural
beauty and charm about the grounds
used as the bathing beach, and after we
have installed new and np-to-date water

various bathing pools, and the weeds and
vegetable matter in the pools have been
cleared away, the bathing beach Will De

it could be opened for public use this

Chase's.
were ARTIST
away India

The opening Of the second week at
Chase's vaudeville house packed the place
at both afternoon and evening perform
ances The bill this week is along custom
ary lines-a little music. little singing,
some jokes, some acting and a few aero
batic stunts. Two of the features which
might be classed as headliners are May
Tully and her company in STOP Look and
Listen" and Cameron and Flanagan in "On
and OFF," The former one-act play Is a
clever bit of acting. The name of the play
somewhat bellies 1t. as 1t has very little to
do with railroad trains. The skit centers
around a stage-struck girl who has plan
ned to run awav to New York. Miss Tully,
who has been through the mill. finally per-
suades the little one to give up the idea.
During the act Miss Tully gives several i'm
presentations of well-known actresses. She
was well supported by Miss Demarest and
Mr.. Curtis.
Cameron and Flanagan, two clever black
faced singers and dancers. gave an insight
into real stage life in their "On and Off,"
They begin their skit with some singing
and dancing and finally become engaged in
an argument. and in this manner leave the
stage. The curtain is then rung up show
ing the dressing room of a theater, where
the fellows are still at their argument and
where they change from their stage to
street clothes. 1t is a good piece of acting
and shows how the stage folk are made up.
Riggoletti Brothers, acrobats, open the
show, and their act Is with the aerial lad
der. The Petchings appear in the same
musical act they have used for some time.
Wynn and Lewis, as two college boys. do a
good song and dance act, but the other
sketch on the bill, "A Shine Filtration"
was rather mediocre.
The real funmaker among the performers
was julius Tannen, the monologist. This
young actor has improved very much dur
ing the past season. He winds up his act
with limitations Of famous players, having
added many new ones to his repertoire.
The show concludes with some unique vita
graph pictures.
