MOTHER AND CHILD

The value of this famous food IL,
shown in many ways, in addition to-
what might be expected from its
chemical analysis.
Grape-Nuts food Is made of whole
wheat and barley, is thoroughly
baked for many hours and contains
all the wholesome ingredients in
these cereals.
It contains also the phosphate Of
potash grown In the grains, which.
Nature uses to build up brain and
nerve cells.
Young children require proportion
ately more of this element because
the brain and nervous system of the
child grows so rapidly.
A Va. mother found the value of
Grape-Nuts In not only building up
her own strength but in nourishing
her baby at the same time. She

Wires and Wireless in Alaska.

Government. SO writes Sands Craighill
in the Technical World Magazine. This

OF the Signal Corps. The work has
been rapidly Progressing during the
past summer and il is even now nearly
completed.
Important work is also being done
with 4 View 10 perfecting the cable.
telegraph and telephone systems be
tween the mainland Of the United
States and Alaskan points. All of these
lines are TO be duplicated, or doubled,
in order to insure service through the
long winter months which prevail in
this far northern region. Heretofore if
one of the single lines became disabled
communication between the points il.
Spann"d remained cutoff until summer
came before the repairs could be made.
An accident Of this kind on the main
cable would put ii out of commission
and consequently all communication
between the United States and the
army in Alaska would be cut off COM
pletcly maybe for the entire winter.
This is what the Government is guard
ing against in doubling it's lines.
The Government now owns S,996 miles
of land cablo and wireless systems in
and about Alaska. These lines are all
under the control of the army Signal
Corps. The military cable and tele-
graph system from Seattle to Alaska
consists of 1854 miles of submarine
cable, 400 miles of land telegraph and
l07 miles of wireless. These lines are
now being rapidly extended. and the
systems comprise elements not else
where combined. the submarine, land
and wireless sections being worked as
a component and harmonious whole.

The legislative Printing.

The bids submitted upon the legis!a-
matter of some surprise to the general
public, which cannot in the nature o:
things be expected to understand the
ms and outs of this peculiarly exact
ing work Heretofore it has been done
by the Kennebec Journal in connection
with the book work at a practically
fiat rate for both. classes of printing.
This has made a low price for the two
classes of printing taken as a whole.
lative printing which is by far the
most expensive to do, and the least de-
sirable 10 handle, of all the State S
work.
When, however, these two classes
Of printing were separated it Naturally
followed that the Legislative work had
70 be considered apart and upon its
own merits. Printers figuring it were
obliged TO take into account tie fact
that 4 crew large enough to handle
the biggest days work OF the week
would have to be mainta med during the
idle foI considerable periods during
that time and obliged to do an amount
Os overtime work at other periods
which would greatly curtai! the VOL
ume Of the product it would be able to
turn in regular hours under normal
conditicns. They We're also forced to
consider the fact that some days there
would be 400 to 900 pages of printing
and other days nothing. In view of
these facts it is not so surprising as it
might seem at first glance that the
bid of the Waterville Sentinel, which
was the only one covering all the leg
islative work, should be more than
ST, 900 in excess of the price " hich the
State paid for this work at the last
session of the Legislature. BY figuring
in the lower bids OF Burleigh & Flynt
on some portions of the work, Mi.
Carver was able to reduce this excess
over the prices of the last session to
about $4,000. 1t is not surprising, in
view of these facts, that the Governor
and Council felt that the interests OF
the Stale would best be served by re-
jecting the bids submitted on the legis-
lative printing.
