DOCTORS FOOD TALK
Selection of Food One of the Most I'M
pcrtant Acts in Life.

A Mass. doctor says: Our health
and physical and mental happiness
are so largely under our personal CON
troll that the proper selection of food
should be. and is one of the most i'm
portant acts in life.
"On this subject, 1 may say that 1
know of no food equal in digestibiIity,
and more powerful in point of nutri-
ment, than the modern Grape Nuts,
four heaping teaspoons of which is suf-
ficient for the cereal part of a meal,
and experience demonstrates that the
user is perfectly nourished from one
meal to another.
I am convinced that the extensive
and general use of high class foods Of
this character would increase the term
os human life, add to the sum total of
happiness and very considerably i'm
prove society in general. I am free to
mention the food, for 1 personally
know of its value"
Grape-Nuts food can be used by
babes in arms, or adults. 1t is ready
cooked, can be served instantly
either cold with cream. or with hot
water or hot milk poured over. All
sorts of puddings and fancy dishescan
be made with Grape-Nuts. The food
is concentrated and very economical

The Personalitx of Labor.

The notion is quite too prevalent
that the workingman is primarily an
economic problem" that he ought to
realize this and conduct himself with
mechanical regularity and impersonh
uniformity as fractional unit of labor
power. We shall never make any
headway under that doctrine. The
workingman is first of all human
being. The purchase of his labor is
only in a limited sense to be compared
to the purchase of a commodity and
cannot be treated in the same way.
AS DIR. Abbot has suggested, in the
sale Of sugar or -four the personal re-
lation of mutual confidence need enter
only once, at the time of the ex-
change; but where you are buying la
Dor the laborer goes with the labor,
and the personal relation of con-
fidence and responsibility must be
there all the time, from day to day
and week to week, or somebody is
cheated. Therefore, whatever method
of getting along together is adopted,
says Hayes Robbins in Atlantic. it
must count with personal qualities as
an essential part of the relation.

The colored stars, which go in the

Quick match, one of the important
features of fireworks manufacture, is
made from specially prepared wick
soaked in a solution of gunpowder. At
the proper time it is wound off on
frames and just before it is dried it is
sifted over with very fine powder in
order to make it extra quick in action.
1t is then cut in lengths of about six
feet and worked into what is known
as match paper, after which it is
placed in manila paper cases and
joined together Fire at one end of
quick match leaps to the other and al
most as quickly as would electricity.
The quick match is fitted out on what
are known as lances, or rods of bam-
boo. For set pieces the design is
sketched by an artist and then scaled
so it can be enlarged to any size. The
regulation set piece frame is 10x5
feet and is divided into squares a foot
large. The design is outlined in rat
tan, pegs are driven into the rattan
and on these pegs are fastened the
quick match lances referred to.

up to take his place in the life OF the
west. The pictures that are to repre-
sent the new Indians will include
short-haired, dark-faced man, dressed
in black slouch hat, dingy white cot
ton shirt, blue overalls. and hobnailed
shoes. He may be a Kiowa farmer
who gathered 900 bushels of corn
from 20 acres of cultivated land last

James Rudolph Garfield. secretary
of the interior, was standing by the
side of his father in the Pennsylvania
railroad station in Washington on that
fateful day in July, 1881. when the as
sassin's bullet for the second time
dealt death to a president of the
United States. The secretary was
then only II years old-just the age
when the average mind is most sus-
ceptible to Impressions. Close friends
say that the horror of that hideous
tragedy has never fully left Mr.. Gar
fields mind. and some of them be-
lieve that its effects account for the
half-sad expression that always lin
gers in his face. even when he smiles

This looks like anti-OsIerism. Chief
Chemist Wiley of the department of
agriculture at Washington, addressing
the graduating class of a scientific
school at Cleveland, said jocularly that
he belongs to a hundred-year club,
any member of which who dies before
completing the century will be ex-
PEELED in disgrace. Speaking more
seriously, he said: 1.-The present gen.
Grafton is going to live much longer
than the one which came before, be-
cause it knows more about the laws
of diet, hygiene and surgery. 1t is a
rank disgrace for any man to die, ex-
cept of old age" And Dr. Wiley
thinks that, in view of the good pros
poets of long life as a result of proper
care and understanding of the rules
of health, it will pay man to spend
q long time, even 20 years or more, in
the schooling which shall fit him for
his work. From which it is to be in.
ferred that learning how to live is one
OF the essentials to long life.
