GRAHAM CRACKERS
A DELICIOUS FOOD

Graham -four is so named from DR..
Sylvester Graham, who in 1923 first used
and strongly recommended foods made
from unbolted -four. The Graham bread
and crackers made in those days were
coarse and unpalatable and were eaten
more as a dietary obligation than as an
enjoyable food.
But, in accordance with the theory Of
DR.. Graham. foods made from this -four
proved to be very beneficial. The diges-
ticn was strengthened-the appetite i'm
proved-and the coarseness of the -four
had a stimulating effect upon the diges-
tive organs.
The Graham foods, through expert
ment and skin, became more and more
palatable until finally the real Graham
cracker-the tempting food-was pro-
duced by the National Biscuit Company.
Its flavor is that Of the sweet, nutty
kernel Of wheat, almost a dessert-it is
so rich and delicious. Used instead of
bread at any meal, II furnishes an
agreeable change. For lunch or late
supper 1t satisfactorily takes the place
of meats And heavy food and leaves

Twentieth Annual Report
Points Out Advantages
of Plan.

According TO the latest Government re-
ports. about $4,000 is saved by the
Government each year from lapsed sal
aries Of employees in the classified civil
service. This amount, II set aside for
the purpose. will more than finance the
proposition advanced by the Keep Com
mission 10 retire aged employees on an

years Of the operation Of the proposed
Vlau the amount win be fully sufficient,
after which time Congress would have
10 advance additional sums. until the
maximum Of cost had been passed,
which is reached at about the fortieth
year. After that, the amount required
each year gradually recedes, and when
the time comes that all clerks now IN
the Government service shall have been
retired, the lapsed salary fund VIII have
more than borne the expense Of the
movement.
1t has been pointed out that the Civil
Service Commission in it's twentieth
annual report advocated a retirement
measure along similar lines to the one
now proposed. The commissions report
on the subject which is Of special in
terest at this time. is as follows:
Tried in Europe.
The principle Of pensioning employees.
while comparatively new in this coun-
try. is generally in vogue among the
old and experienced institutions in
Europe. The institutions which have
tried pension systems testify that the
practical results have been excellent,
both with regard 70 the business inter
ests of the institutions themselves and
the interests Of the employees who con-
tribute 10 the fund from which the pen
sions are paid.
The primary motive for establishing
n pension system is that such a system
benefits the employer, and it is to the
advantage Of the employer that the pay
should take the form Of q deferred pen
sion The pension attaches the EN-
ploye to the service and at the same
time enables him to be dispensed with
when he becomes elderly and inefficient.
Incentive to Service.
1T also affords an incentive to con-
tinued service and continued good serv-
ice, since employees realize that unsatis-
factory conduct may at any time entail
the loss of a very valuable asset; re-
duces the temptation to quick riches.
and operates as a very strong induce
ment to men, when they reach the age
of forty or fifty years and have acquired
considerable experience, to remain and
not to be tempted away into other walks
While primarily instituted for the
benefit of the employer. the pension sys-
TEN Is a benefit 10 the employe. The
pension is recognized as a portion Of
his pay, or at least for continued serv-
ice, conungently payable on the contin-
uity being maintained during a definite
period"
