Wheat Berries.

~HE new pulled and baked
4 cereal food prepared by
~ the manufa c turers OF
Quaker Oats" Pulled
Rice etc.
Wheat Berries are scientifically
and hygienically prepared. Are
cooked in their own moisture, do
not come in contact with the air,
thus retaining all the nutriment:
gluten, phosphate, protein and car
bo-hydrates of whole wheat - the
factors so necessary to blood max
ing, muscle building, etc.
After the wheat is cooked in this
manner it is pulled to ten times its
natural size. The result is a deli
cious cereal food.
Wheat Berries, with full line OF
Quaker Oats products, are now be-
ing demonstrated in our Pure Food
Department.

Aiguillettes for Naval Aids.

The glittering and useless aiguillette
by which Is meant the double looped
heavy gold cord terminating in conven.
tional heavy gilded acorn-shaped piece Of
metal, is now to adorn the breast of the
naval aids to the President. The navy has
long envied the army the possession OF
this insignia, but heretofore it has not
been used because it might so easily
catch in any protruding object on ship
board. An addition to the naval uni
form regulations has just been promul-
gated authorizing the Presidents naval
aids to wear the aiguillette on the right
side. Aids to admirals, chiefs of staff and
naval attaches are also authorized to
wear aiguillettes, but only on the left
side. and, moreover, the insignia may be
worn only in port.

OUR GROWING COUNTRY.
Though the Population Expands
There Is Still Room for More.

Though the Population Expands
There Is Still Room for More.
The cities of the United States are
the most expansive in the world, and
naturally take much interest in reck-
oning up their population from time
to time. Every tenth year they find
that city directory estimates are apt
to be too liberal, but actual counts sell
dom fail to show large and substan-
| tial Increase. At this time there Is
general protest against the calculations
of the government census bureau, and
| they are in truth far too mechanical.
Averaging the growth Of American
cities between 1890 and 1900, and add
ing the annual increase to the years
since the last census was taken, Is not
an accurate rule, though 1t restraints
an undue optimism. The last seven
years has ben a period of great bust
ness prosperity. Over a million immi-
grants a year are coming in. Urban
population Is gaining on other forms.
Some cities have been Quickened In
growth and others are slowing up. The
census bureau merely applies the meas
urements of the last decade, which, In
general, will fall short. But the next
national census is not far distant and
the official figures will show the bureau
that It's plan Of computation Is crude.
According to the departments reck-
oning the population Of the United
States in 1906, without Alaska and the
insular possessions, was S3,941.510, and
including these 93,1S2, 240. This is an
addition of 100000 to the continental
population of the country In the six
years ending with 1906. Cities have
gained 1879 per cent and the rural sec
ton 8.S per cent. The four greatest
cities are New York, credited with
4113.O43, Chicago with 2,049,1S5, Phil
adelphia with 1,441, 735, and st. Louis
with $40, 800, leading Boston, next In
rank. by 47,042. An Increase Of a mill
ion and a third year Is the estimate
for the whole country. A bluebook re-
Gently published In London places the
annual Increase Of population In the
world at 100000, fourth of which is
In the United States. At the present
rate of immigration more than 10000
600 aliens will come to this country IN
the next ten years, but the tide will
recede If the uneaxampled business ac-
tiyity of the present time should fall
