Children Love Sweets

And the sweet they like best--of the sweets
which are good for them-is pure Maple Sugar.
That's why we boil wheat, before taking it, in
the pure Vermont Syrup.
That favor is most entcing.
We are making the best food for children, and
want them to like it. We want them to prefer
the food that is best for them. And flavor does
more than argument.
Mapl-Flake is the best food for us all.
1t is made of wheat-white Washington wheat
the premier food of the world.
1t is prepared by a process requiring 96 hours, by
which every atom is made digestibe. That is the
important fact. And it doesn't apply to any other
wheat food.
Wheat is largely starch, and starch, to be di-
gestible, must be made soluble.
The particles must be separated, so the digestive
? juices can get to them.
So we cook the wheat for six hours. Then thor
oughly cure it. Then we flake each separate berry
so thin that the full heat of our ovens gets to the
center.
Then these flakes are toasted, for 30 minutes, in
heat of 400 degrees.

ELEPHANTS THAT FISH.

Perhaps the most curious use to
which 7 have ever seen the working
elephants of India put is fishing, writes
a contributor to st. Nicholas. 1 once
saw twenty-five elephants driven back
and forth in a huge jungle lake, so as
to stir up the mud on the bottom and
drive to the surface many varieties of
fine fish. And Herewith the waiting
men seized their prey thus curiously
trapped, cut off their heads with BAN
boo spears and gathered them into bas-
kets. The elephants themselves en-
joyed the sport. and at a hint from
their mahouts considerably abstained
from blowing under water or splashing.

You can hardly be blamed for not

are unwelcome. The best thing to do
Is to pay nc attention to them, if you
