COULDN'T KEEP IT.

I'VE cannot keep Grape-Nuts food in

It Is just the food I have been looking

Grape-Nuts is the most scientifically

but when cold cream is used alone
the natural grape-sugar. which can be
seen glistening on the granules. is suf-
ficiently sweet to satisfy the palate.
This grape-sugar is not poured over
the granules, as some people think,
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
firsti act OF digestion: therefore, Grape-
Nuts food is pre-digested and Is most

LIFE INSURANCE A SACRED
TRUST. 49, 1.
Responsibilities Of Officers and Dl.
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 elec.
tion 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 busi-
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. II 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 ad-
minister for the benefit Of the people
involved the multitudinous and exact
ing details to which 1t is impossible
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 I believe, profound ap-
probation, not merely of the heavy
burden you have placed on my shoul-
ders. but of the standards of efficiency.
the standards of faith, the standards
OF integrity, which pust 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

Ono Point Of View.

It was the desire Of teacher in a

this subject, in which Booker T. Wash

Our life is but soap bubble hang

From Army and Navy Life.
The CRYING need for "men who could
shoot and ride" first found response in
the rife clubs organized by Sir Conan

Beers fighting for their homes with all
the killing abilities of young men. The
novelist proceeded to organize rifle clubs

ranges on his grounds and persuaded his
landed neighbors to do likewise. He led

patriots He wished to make of staid
Englishmen of middle age and even of
old age an army of defense similar to
that which had caused the Lritish so much
trouble in South Africa. 1t did not occur
to him that he was beginning his plan of
home defense with the wrong material.
Some WiseaCre OF the war office, who
had watched Sir Conan DCyle's patriotic
efforts with admiration, said to him one
day
Your idea of training the older men
to shoot is a good one. but why not teach
the rising generation to use the rifle and
make the boys of today the soldiers of to-
morrow for defense, not defiance, as the
volunteers motto has it?'
At this time was born new military
spirit in Great Britain. Rifle clubs and
military camps for the boys speedily be.

village. and the field days in which boys
took part were as spectacular as those of
the larger warriors.

BEACH MINES.
Old Shore Lines Which Yield Thou
sand Dollars to a Pan.


From the Alaska-Yukon Magazine.
The year after the discovery of gold on
the beach at Nome the government explored
that country and concluded that back of
the present shores would be found old
beach lines from which the water had re-
ceded.
The report intimated to the miners of
that region that some of these Old beach
lines would be found as rich as the one
that was discovered in 1899, but it took
three years for them to come to a full
realization of the value of the advice.
They finally found these old beach lines,
where wave action had concentrated the
gold, and discovered some spots so rich
that it was possible TO get a pan of sand
and gravel which contained gold dust worth
a thousI and dollars.
From one of the first strikes in this old
beach line during the winter of 1904-05 four
men shoveiing from the dump in the spring
when they were cleaning up had to stop
after four hours work, the rifles were
clogged with gold. Forty thousand dollars
was taken out of the aluice boxes at this
cleanup.
These old beach lines in the vicinity of
Nome are probably the richest placer de-
positS ever discovered. Their extent Is as
yet unknown, and while they are probably
not so extensive as the ancient channels
Of this region. they VIII produce a vast
amount of gold.
Having discovered the old beach line, its
general trend is indicated by the present
shore line and the topography of the coun-
try But the right kind of bedrock con-
ditions must exist in order for wave action
to concentrate the gold.
hole dug where these bedrock condi-
tons do not exist is protitless work. Drifts
in rich beach mines encounter lean spots,
sometimes barren spots and the pay may
peter out Although the pay is less uniform
than in channels, the beach deposits are

the rich spots are rich enough for one spot

Mr. John Imirie stated that he did not
want his property alongside of a stable:
that if Gen. LeFevre desired he can be

he said. that the Commissioners are hood

that IL the stable is to accommodate thirty
