The Riviera of Portugal.

"a picturesque village of hotels ana
villas grouped upon the slope of a hill
descending in semicircle 10 the sea.
with pines and eucalyptus woods above
and palms everywhere below and
with climate noticeably warmer than
that of lisbon" This surely might be
a description of ones ideal winter re-
sort. If so, it is an ideal easily realized.
The name Riviera is now so generally
applied to certain portions of the
French and Italian littorai that the pos
sibility of the existence of other Ri
yieras is apt to be overlooked but, in
ihe opinion of many travellers, the Ri
viera of France and Italy is outclassed
by the Riviera of Portugal, which is
briefly described in the above quota
ton. This Portuguese Riviera is stu
ated at the mouth Of the river Tagus
and Is known as Mont Estoril Its po-
sition, completely protected on the
north and east from cold winds by a
high range of hills and open 10 the sea
on the west and south. makes it just
the place to spend a winter. and it is
easily accessible from England. The
thermometer through the winter months
shows. it is claimed. q mean standard
of eight to ten degrees higher at Nice.

that is the least of his troubles, ac-

WHEAT FARM TO co
New Industry Springs Up in
Washington, Causing
Speculation.

Walla Walla. Wash. April lis the
big wheat farm about to be lost TO the
great Northwest: is a question that is
being asked over and over again by
men in all stations of life in this sec
ton, \ feeling seems to be getting
hold Of the farmers and the larger bus
mess men that wheat growing in large
tracts and in large quantities by one
man is nearly thing OF the past
The discussion of this matter has
been brought about at this time par
ticularly by the proposed establish
ment OF a big packing plant in the
West by the Swift interests. and the
ayowed intention of these we'll known
meat packers TO establish a stock rails
ing business all over the Western
states wherever hog and cattle raising
can be carried on successfully. II is
conceded by men who have spent their
lives in the West that there is a Won
dertul future to live stock business
when once a home market is provided
for all the products of the fields and
farms of a great stretch OF country
hitherto given TO grain production or
left in a wild state valueless to any
body.
The new order of things will bring
CbOut a close settlement of the coun-
try and the cutting up of farms into
small tracts where families can make
homes and build up communities of
value TO the state and to the nation.
As the result of this vast acreages of
wheat will be impossible

Yours and Ours

We supply to your children just as good food as
we demand for children.
We know that the wheat should be steam-cooked
for six hours So we do that.
Each berry should then be faxed so thin that the
full oven heat gets to the center.
Then fierce heat must be applied to break down
the granules of starch. So toast the fakes, for
80 minutes, at 400 degrees.
To make Mapl-Flake requires 96 hours.
There many ways where this work could be
sighted, and the taste would not show it,
Flaked wheat be made, and is made in one
fourth of the time we spend it.
We could sell you the package for 10 cents in
stead of IS cents, if we made those economies.
But would not give half-cooked wheat to our
Children so we don't yours.
We know that starch, unless properly cooked is
insoluble, The particles not separated so the
digestive juices get to them. So spend 96
hours to get a food that's all food all digestibe.
