partly cooked cereals and such.
Starchy food is not digested in the
upper stomach but passes on into the
duodenum, or lower stomach and in
testines, where, in a healthy individ-
ual, the transformation of the starch
into a form of sugar is completed and
then the food absorbed by the blood.
But if the powers of digestion are
weakened, a part of the starchy food
will lie in the warmth and moisture OF
the body and decay, generating gases
and irritating the mucous surfaces un-
til under such conditions the whole
lower part of the alimentary canal, in
Guiding the colon and the appendix.
becomes involved. Disease sets up
and at times takes the form known as
appendicitis.
When the symptoms of the trouble
make their appearance, would it not
be good, practical, common sense, to
discontinue the starchy food which is
causing the trouble and take a food
in which the starch has been trans
formed into a form Of sugar In the
process of manufacture?
This is identically the same form OF
sugar found in the human body after
starch has been perfectly digested-
Now, human food is made up very
largely of starch and is required by
the body for energy and warmth.
Naturally, therefore, its use should be-
continued, If possible, and for the rea-
sons given above 1t is made possible
in the manufacture of Grape-Nuts.
In connection with this change of
food to bring relief from physical dis
turbances, we have suggested washing
out thei ntestines to get rid of the i'm
mediate cause of the disturbance.
Naturally, there are cases where the
disease has lain dormant and the
abuse continued too long, until ap-
parently only the knife will avail. But
1t is a well-established fact among the
best physicians who are acquainted
with the details above recited, that
preventative measures are far and
away the best.
Are we to be condemned for suggest
ing a way to prevent disease by fol-
lowing natural methods and for per-
fecting a food that contains no ''medi-
cine and produces no medicinal eff
fects" but which has guided literally
thousands of persons from sickness to
health? We have received during the
years past upwards of %. 900 letters
from people who have been either
helped or made entirely we'll by fol-
lowing u suggestions, and they are
simple.
If coffee disagrees and causes any

The Wav of the Child.

A small boy who had recently
passed his fifth birthday was riding
in a car with his mother, when they
were asked the customary question:
How old is the boy?" After being
told the correct age, which did not
require a fare, the conductor passed
on to the next person.
The boy sat quite still as IL ponder

A YOUNG Composer.

Rachel, aged II, wrote an compo-
sition on wild flowers in which she
praised the arbutus, the liverwort,
the spring beauty, the blood root, and
all of the other blossoms Of dell and
dale. But she wrote on both sides
of her sheet of paper. and when she
asked her father, who was an editor,
to publish her article, he called her
attention to that fact.
You've written on both sides Of
your paper" said he.
Well" was the reply, "and don't
you print on both sides of yours?"

Farmers who buy grass seed need
TO be especially careful about impuri-
ties. 1t is well known that many of
the injurious weeds have been i'm
ported into localities by means of
grass seed. One sample which was
tested in Ohio contained 80 species OF
foreign seeds, some especially of which
it is almost impossible to get rid of.
Perhaps alfalfa is adulterated most.
Dut don't let this scare you out. Send
a sample of the seed to your expert
ment station AMI have it tested. Usu-
ally the test will be made without ex-
pense to you.

One Way of Breaking Up a Setting

A writer in Rural World says: To
break a hen from setting, take a steel
trap, wrap a piece of thin cloth around
each jaw Of the trap, set it and place
it in the nest, and when you hear the
hen squalling, loose her out of the trap
and set it again in the nest. | never
knew but n hen to try the trap the
second time. If you have a trap
strong enough to hold a hog or dog
it WILL also break them from trespass-
ing. So far as know l am the origi-
nator of this recipe, and it is free to
all.

The demonstration of burning buck
shot land for road building in Washing
ton county will no doubt prove of value
to the people of that section. The buck
shot road is a hard proposition to ham
ule, but it has been demonstrated time
and again that burning solves the prob
lem e~ffectually. 1t is rather expensive,
costing from $3.50 to $4,000 per mile,
as determined by local conditions, but
the burned road is fixed for a long time
to come if given ordinary attention.

sPEcTER OF THE BRocKEN.
Expert Believes Hampton Court Of
Odium Of Ghosts.

Odium Of Ghosts.
Special Cablegram to The Star.
LONDON, March 25-Hampton Court has
been relieved from the disgrace of harbor-
ing party of ghosts who have the temerity
to wear modern evening dress. while the
constable on whose reports the existence
of these apparitions was based has been
justified.
Such is the result of an investigation I'M
dertaken by an expert in psychical re-
search, in the course of which 1t was estab-
lished that what the policeman witnessed
was the phenomenon known as Specter OF
the Broken"
The Specter of the Broken is in reality
supposed to confine its ghostly pursuits to
the Hartz mountains. If at sunrise or at
sunset any one takes his stand on the sum-
nit while the thick mist Is conveniently In
attendance that persons form will be re-
flected on the mist in the most ghostly
manner imaginable.
This explanation OF the pollcemans
ghosts at once suggested itself to the psy-
chical expert. and on inquiries being made
at Hampton Court 1t was fully confirmed.
On the night in question 1t was misty and
the policeman, when he saw the vision was
standing opposite the fish pond. In the
rooms behind him an evening party was
in progress, and 1t was established that
about the time he saw the ghosts a number
OF ladies and gentlemen in evening dress
trooped from an upstairs room and moved
along the corridor. practically as he de-
scribed 1t in single file.
From his position the policeman natural
ly could not see them in actual flesh, but
their reflections were thrown by the strong
light at the back of them on the mist hang
ing above the fish pond.
No wonder that though they appeared TO
the policeman to be laughing he heard no
sound and that when he rushed to arrest
them he found nothing but shadows.

Soft Shell Crabs in Plenty.

Charles Marceron. veteran oySterman
and fisherman of Chesapeake bay. who has
been in this city several days on business
connected with the government. in speak
ing today of the near approach of the end
of the oyster season, April 80, said:
1.-The indications are that soft shell crabs
will be cheaper this year than last. This
will be due to the favorable winter and the
recent extremely warm weather. If we
only have a little more of the hot condi-
lions of the past few days the soft shell
crabs will likely become a drug on the
market because OF their plenitude.'
There are said to be many of the "softies'
now in the Washington markets. and reports
from away down the Potomac. where salt
water abounds, are to the effect that the
high water grasses, on which the crabs
crawl to shed their hard outer coverings.
are literally covered by the crustaceans.
