and acts accordingly. In fine weather
he skips about among the branches of

At the approach of winter he seek
the water and finds himself abed in
the mud until the following spring
calls him out to resume his war on
the flies.
Now the frog on the ladder with
out doubt watches the weather condi-

flies when the circumstances seem
favorable. On the other hand, when
the weather is cold and damp he is
reminded of winter and instinctively
retires to bury his sorrows in the
imaginary mud which he seeks at the
bottom of his prison.

responsibilities of Officers and Di-
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
lions. Speaking to the new board of
trustees, on the occasion of his cleo
ton 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 a going bust
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. Il understand" he says,

who are day by day to carry this bur-
den for you, who are to discharge this
trust in your behalf, who are to adj

the company's working organization,
gives me, as | believe, profound ap'

burden you have placed on my shout
ders, but of the standards of efficiency,
the standards of faith, the standards
of integrity, which must 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

Car Kills Bio Baduer.

The pugnacity of the badger is OF
world wide renown, but he would
scarcely be expected to assail street
car; yet the crew of Pacific Electric
Car No. 1913 assert that one claiming
residence on Rancho Santa Anita

ing.
About 9 o'clock p. m, as the car
swung around the curve in the vine
yard west of Arcadia, Motorman
Shearer saw a large animal between
the rails. Repeated shrieks of the
whistle had no other effect than to
cause him to rear and bare his teeth
in defiance. Then he was a dead
badger. He weighed eighty pounds,
and his hide measures three and one
half feet in length by two in width.
His immense claws are four inches
long. He is by far the largest of the
species ever killed in this vicinity.

builds his fires to do his cooking the
water in the well begins to boil and
spout. This theory is exploded by the
fact that the water is not hot but
cold; but the natives explain this by
saying that the distance is so great
that the water has ample time to
cool before reaching the surface of the
earth.

1t is just the food l have been looking

Grape-Nuts is the most scientifically

fectly and completely cooked at the
factory and can be Served at an IN
stant's notice, either with rich cold
cream, or with hot milk if a hot dish
is desired. When milk or water is
used little sugar should be added,
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
first act of digestion; therefore, Grape

WIGS OF SPUN GLASS.
Natural Supply Fails and Invention
Comes to the Rescue.

The enormous feminine demand for
artificial coils and troupees is leading
to a famine in human hair. Formerly
Swiss, German and Hungarian girls
supplied the world of fashionable
women with luxuriant tresses Of all
tints
But the governments of many coun-
tries are now making it illegal for a
girl to sell her hair or for an agent
to buy it. The supply in consequence
is running short and the prices of real
hair are trebling.
A series of successful experiments
point to spun glass as the most effec-
tive substitute for human hair. Wigs
made from spun glass are wonder
fully light and fine and the texture
soft and beautiful.
1t is easy to produce any shade de-
sired, while curls and waves can be
manufactured at will to suit the fash
ion of the moment. The imitation is
so realistic that it is impossible to
detect the difference between it and
real hair grown on the head.-London
