A matter OF no little Importance In
maintaining a good healthy appetite
is variety Of diet. Appetites soon
flag II there is a monotonous same
ness in our daily food. An unusual
delicacY will add to the enjoyment Of
the whole meal.
OF course bread Is a staple food No
meal Is complete without bread OF
some other wheat food. We may
think we never tire Of bread. but try
some radical change and see how well
come 1t is. Try National Biscuit
Company's Graham Crackers. The
unbolted wheat Of which they are
made is not only delicious but stim-
ulates the appetite and the diges-
tion.
The flavor Of the National Biscuit
Company Graham Crackers is entirely
different from the old coarse kind
originally made b. DR.. Graham. The
same progress which experience, skill
and study have produced In all the
products Of this Company has made
thee Graham Cracker not only a health
food but delightful delicacY.
For the indoor worker-the Office
man the inactive, nothing makes a
better lunch than Graham Crackers
and milk. Light, but sustaining,
without heavlness or sleepiness so Of.
ten following q hearty lunch or rich
foods.
Keep Graham Crackers on the table
as well as bread, and the staff of life
can be eaten In either form that par
ticulafly appeals to the taste.
National Biscuit Company Graham
Crackers come in moisture and dust
proof packages keeping in all their de.
lightful favor, crlspness and fresh
nasc.

"Thou Shall Not steal'.

From the Fall Street journal.
On the bulletin board Of a Wall
street brokers office the following
was posted last week.
Five thousand years ago Moses came
down from the Mount and brought
with him q tablet on which was writ
ten, Thou Shalt Not Steal"
To-day President Roosevelt Is CIV
ing the same advice and Wall street
thinks 1t is news.
This,of course, is a plagiarism from
Thomas B. Reed, who. q number OF
years ago, described Roosevelt as .
statesman who had discovered th
ten commandments.
1t was witty,it was true, and 10 was
also q compliment to Roosevelt.
The ten commandments cannot be
preached too much; and certainly no
generation has needed more than this
to have "Thou Shalt Not Steal
preached to it.
This commandment in Its applica
ton to the conduct Of great competi
| tive business was In the nature O.
news. The country is now ct last
leaning that unfair composition
market manipulation, and rate dis
ordinations are stesling.

From the Saturday Evening Post
The Texas Farmers Union asks the
legislature to lower freight rates. Pro.
baby most similar bodies the coun-
try over would do the same II the sub
ject were brought before them. II has
been abundantly demonstrated, how
ever, that nearly all farming commun-
tiles have il within their own power
materially to lower freight charges.
Practically speaking, no farm pro-
duce reaches market without having
passed oyef a common road and 1t Is
scarcely an exaggeration to say that
at the current level Of freight rates,
the road-haul is as important to the
farmer as the rail-haul. 1t has been
shown that the same force which will
move one ton on a poor earth road
| will move four tons on a good smaca-
dam road. In a horse, as In a locomo-
tive, there are just so many ton-miles,
Team wagon and driver are simply,
engine, cars and crew in little. The
railroads find it profitable to spend
millions yearly In strengthening cur.
YES and reducing grades In order to
get the greatest possible service out
of their equipment. The farmer
would find the same policy, applied 70
roads, equally profitable, Ibnt often
doesn't see IL clearly.
Respectable authority has opined
that to move a ton a mile over the
common roads Of the country must
eost,on an average, twenty-five cents
II that be SO, then II cc:.- the s:--c:
on an average as much to haul 8
pushel OF grain twelve miles to mark
ct as the railroads charge him to hau'
the same bushel a thousand miles
from Chicago to New York.
Figure the average haul to market
at five miles, or a dollar and a quarter
a ton;take the annual marketed guam
tity Of grain, cotton, hay, live stock
dairy products from the Agriculture
Departments Year Book and get |
rough idea OF what the farmers pa
yearly for the road-haul. Nearly
hundred and fifty years ago, In Eng
land 1T was noted that by improved
roads Of the hauling OF grain was dom
with little over half the number o.
horses formerly used.
This subject is mot less importan
to the farmer than freight charges
aud TO deal with 1t is within bis owl
power.

VERY often merchants have fine
stocks OF goods, well located stores
and accommodating clerks, but neglect
to advertise. What is the use to ar
range for business unless you let the
people know about IL. Advertising is
the most important proposition con-
