CUBS FOOD
They Thrive on erape-Nuts.

Healthy babies don't cry and the
well-nourished baby that is fed on
Grape-Nuts is never a crying baby.
Many babies who cannot take any
other food relish the perfect food,
Grape-Nuts, and get well.
my little baby was given up by
three doctors who said that the con-
ruined the child's stomach. One of
the doctors told me that the only
thing to do would be to try Grape
Nuts, so got some and prepared 1t as
follows: | soaked " tablespoonfuls
in one pint of cold water for half an
hour, then / strained off the liquid and
mixed IL teaspoonfuls of this strained
Grape-Nuts juice with six teaspoonfuls
of rich milk. put In a pinch of salt
and little sugar, warmed 1t and gave
1t to baby every two hours.
In this simple, easy way / saved
babys life and have built her up to a
strong healthy child, rosy and laugh
ing The food must certainly be per-
feet to have such a wonderful effect as
this. / can truthfully say think 1t
is the best food in the world to raise
delicate babies on, and is also a deli
cious healthful food for grown-ups as
we have discovered in our family"
Grape-Nuts is equally valuable to
the strong, healthy man or woman. It
stands for the true theory of health.

POISON DANGERS IN SPRAYING
French Scientists Suggest the Color.
ing of Arsenic Compounds.

French scientists, while recognizing
the necessity for the use of arsenic
compounds in spraying, have made
wise recommendation to their govern.
men that such material shall not be
sold unless colored in such manner
that 1t can not possibly be confused
with foods or condiments. The buyer
and the seller are to be held equally
responsible for this denaturation OF
arsenic and the insecticides are to be
sold only in packages plainly marked
poison" Such regulation would be
a wise one for this country.
At present it is possible to purchase
white arsenic powder, unlabeled
which much resembles soda and ba.
king powder. Needless to say those
who substitute 1t for either of these
leavening powders would rise no more
If they ate of the fruits of their own
labors.

6awdust u one Of the pushing wastes
In numbering operations. The waste IL
serious, too, for the kerf-the part cut out
by the saw in the mill and transformed
into sawdust always bears rather high
ratio to the boards obtained. In cutting
thin stun, one fourth OF the log, or even
more, may be kerr.
Efforts to turn sawdust into pulp for the
paper mill have usually been unsuccessful
on account Of mechanical diflcllties in
handling. In several European countries,
however, new way has been found Of
turning sawdust to account. The sswdust,
chiefly pine and fir, is ground with mill
stones, exactly as old-time mills made
cornmeal, or wheat or rye -four. Expen-
sive machinery is not required, but it is
necessary to take special precaution
against fires which might start from
sparks between the millstones.
The sawdust -four is sold to the dyns-
mite factory to be mixed with nitrogly-
cerin and forms the body or absorbent for
that high explosive. 1t is also in demand
for the manufacture of cheap plotting pa
pers. The mills in the Harz mountains,
in Germany, an important manufacturing
center, are kept busy meeting this de-
mand.
The price Of the flour in Germany
ranges from $50 to $3.50 ton. It is
shipped in bags, like meal, or in bales of
about 40 cubic feet, made by means OF
high pressure.
