FEW GOOD mEeRscHAuMs HERE.
Americans Do Not Make or Keep Them Right, German Dealer Says.

You don't see the best meerschaum pipes in this country" said a German pipe dealer who learned his trade in Vienna. to Kansas City Star writer.
 Why? Because the Americans are in too big a hurry. Haven't time to .ake care of a meerschaum-havent even time to learn how. When the American is through smoking he knocks his pipe on the heel of his shoe to remove the ashes, shoves it in the most handy pocket and is on the run.
 Now, in the old country, a man takes his pipe seriously-yery seri- ously. He expects his meerschaum to last him lifetime and then be in good repair to hand down to his heir The pipe is passed from generation to generation and it is always handled as carefully as a new born babe The smoker never touches the bowl while it is warm-that would spoil the fine, glossy color. When the German has completed his serious and meditative smoke his pipe is laid very carefully away, where it will cool properly and without danger of scratching He does not ram it into his pocket with other miscellaneous articles as the rushing American does He takes his time and gives it his care and atten- tion
 The best meerschaum pipes in the old country are made of soft meer- schaum and are hand carved Then they are boiled in beeswax. The fine color is produced by the wax and nico- tine combining. When the pipe is smoked the wax softens from the heat That is why the pipe should not be touched while warm. Touching mars the gloss.
 The American manufacturer does not carve or polish them by hand. The work is done by machines. The soft meerschaum. if treated that way would break, so hard meerschaum. a low grade, is used The hard clay will not absorb beesWax. so it is boiled in glycerin. The most beautiful colors cannot be produced with glycerin.

NEVER TIRES
Of the Food That Restored Her te
 Health.

My food was killing me and didn't know the cause" writes a Colo. young lady. For two years I was thin and sickly, suffering from indigestion and inflammatory rheumatism.
 T had tried different kinds of dlet plain living, and many of the remedies recommended, but got no better.
 Finally, about five weeks ago mother suggested that I try Grape Nuts, and l began at once, eating II with a little cream or milk. A change for the better began at once.
 To-day l am we'll and am gaining weight and strength all the time. I've gained 10 lbs. Tn the last five weeks and do not suffer any more from indf gestion and the rheumatism is all gone.
 T know it is to GrapeNuts alone that 1 owe my restored health. l SUI eat the food twice a day and never tife of it." Name given by Postum CO., Battle Creek, Mich.
 The flavor of Grape-Nuts is peculiar to itself. It is neutral, not too sweet and has an agreeable, healthful quaf ity that never grows tiresome.
 One of the sources of rheumatlsn is from overlooking the system witn acid material. the result of imperiees digestion and assimilation.
 As soon as improper food is aban' doned and Grape-Nuts is taken regU larly, digestion is made strong, the or. gans do their work of building up soou red blood cells and of carrying ava. the excess of disease-making materia' from the system.
 The result is a certain and steaus return to normal health and meh1a activity. There's a reason" Reaa the little book The Road to Nep vile" in pkgs

CEMENT COMPANY LAUNCHED
Works for New Industry WIN Be Erected
At Sacramento City.
ELECTRIC POWER TO Be USED

a new industry is being es-
tablished at Sacramento City
few miles south of AlamOgordo,
which will mean much for this
city. The Alamo Cement and
Plaster company has been incor-
pOrated and is actively engaged
in putting up a four kettle mill,
which will have a daily capacity
of ten carloads of finished ma
terial, and will be in continuous
operation day and night, run
ming two shifts of twelve hours
each.
The mill will require 100 horse
power for operating the various
machines, and our enterprising
electric light man, M. H. Fisher,
is already negotiating with the
new company regarding furnish
ing them electric power from his
new hydro-electric plant which
he is building near La Luz in
the Fresnal creek district. This
would mean the building of sew
eral miles of high tension trans
mission line from the power sta
tion to Sacramento City, and
would also serve to deliver cleo
trio power for pumping, farming
and lighting purposes down the
Alamogordo valley on either side
of the transmission line.
The president Of the Alamo
Cement and Plaster company,
Perry Wagonon, and Manager j.
|. Hinkle, will be in Alamogordo
on Saturday, August u, in con-
nection with the building and
starting OF the mill.
L. w. Davenport, the superin-
tendent, is now in Sacramento
City pushing the work to the
utmost. The material will be
taken from gypsum beds which
are exposed on the surface, and
this will greatly facilitate the
handling and cheaper the manu-
facture, and the consumers will
reap the benefit of frst-class
plaster at a low price.
