Choose for Yourself

The people in your home are like
the people who come to our lunch
room. If they had the same choice,
they would take what these people
take.
They would rather have Pulled
Wheat or Pulled Rice than any other
foods you can serve.
Please try them and see, for you
want them to have what they like
best. Serve them Pulled Wheat
one morning and Pulled Rice the
next. Order them now just to see
what you miss. Then take a vote
of your table.

In the heart of New York we have a
lunch room, just to learn peoples taste.
There we serve ten kinds of cereals to
hundreds of people daily. Then we ad-
vertise the cereal they like the best.

guns are revolved, for sixty minutes,
in a heat OF $50 degrees.
That heat turns the moisture in
the grain to steam, and the pressure
becomes tremendous. Then the
guns are unsealed. Instantly the
steam explodes every starch gran
ule into a myriad particles. SO the
digestive juices can get to them.
The kernels of grain are expanded
eight times. Yet the coats are lln-
broken, the shapes are unaltered.
We have crisp giant grains which
will melt in the mouth-the most.
enticing cereal foods in existence.
Evening star., 1909-06-13

One cereal there costs the same
as another-I5 cents per dish. For
our purpose is to learn the favorlte
foods.
We make all sorts of cereal foods,
so it matters little to us how the vote
stands. But it is vital to us in our
advertising to cater to popular taste.
Among those who take ready
cooked foods we find that three out
of four take Pulled Wheat or Putfed
Rice:
Only one in eight takes Corn
Flakes; one in twenty takes Wheat
Flakes; one in seventeen takes a
Breakfast Biscuit.
Three times as many take Pufted
Wheat or Pulled Rice as take all
other readv-cooked cereals together.
That is why we urge you to try
them. There are three chances in
four that you'll like them better
than any other foods you know.

Pulled Wheat and Pulled Rice are

A TURKISH wedding
"A where the parties are
of high rank is an interest
ing sight and one that
Europeans in CONSTANT
nople are always desirous
to witness. Invitations to
them are, however, difficult
to obtain; so my friend and
l considered ourselves for
tunate when one came to
US through an Armenian
girl, a student in the Ameri-
can College for Girls. The
Governor of Adrianople
was to marry his nephew
to the daughter of another
Pasha, and Zabelle, whose
father is high in Turkish
employment, though an
Armenian, received an ur-
gent invitation to be at the
wedding. Of course she
needed chaperons, and you
may imagine that we were
glad to act in that capacity.
The wedding was to take
place at nine o'clock in the
morning. in Beylerbey on

thus satisfied conventions.
The bridal couple passed
through and, entering the
best room, closed the door.
Here the groom removed
the veil and looked for the
first time on his brides
face, then he passed out
quietly, and everyone
crowded in to see the
bride
But we had gazed at
her loveliness for only a
few minutes when an ex-
citement arose. A black
eunuch with a fine deco
ration on his breast pushed
through the rooms, and
announced her Highness,
one of the daughters of
the Sultan and said that
she must see the cere-
mony. So, the groom,
who had gone to the selam-
lik, was recalled, and led

was disturbed to discover some little black
specks on these sumptuous fittings, and started
to blow them off; but stopped by Zabelle.
"Don't!' she said. They are sesame seeds to
keep off the Evil Eye. "
The footstool and towel cover were also EN-
broidered in silver and two pairs of white and
silver slippers stood under the bed An array
of presents occupied one corner of the room,
and on a table lay neatly folded the clothes the
groom would wear the second day of the
feasting, capped by his boiled shirt and tie.
His night clothes of striped white silk lay be-
side them, and on the bed lay the brides ex-
qusite nightgown of silk to match his. The
dress she would wear on the following day, rose

die of the room. We exclaimed "MashaHdhi

and the varying degrees of respect shown to
lower or higher rank When specially grand

tempt to scoop with their hands below their
skirts, salaam not nearly SO graceful as less
profound one.
MANY of the women had their hair stained
with henna, varying from shrimp pink to scar

be elderly women, and Zabelle explained that

toque of some gay shade, their shapeless bulk

the rooms had become crowded. we heard

that the bride is brought to the door in carriage,

the lowest floor had large tagged central
room from which opened the dining rooms; the
next floor had the central room, the one for
ordinary use; while the third floor was more
elegantly fitted up. and had the rooms approx
mately "a Ia Frank" In this upper story were
the rooms newly furnished for the bride and
groom. Each of the large central halls was sur
rounded by ten good-si zed rooms. This part OF
the house is called the haremk, and is used by
women exclusively The selamlik, or mems ap-
partments, occupied wing to the right of this
central building; while the servants quarters
stretched out to the left, thus surrounding the
garden on three sides We. of course, saw the
inside of only the haremik.
Their Wonderful Gowns
WHEN we entered the Governors WIFE
:" young and attractive in Partisan gown of
lilac brocade and chiffon, greeted Zabelle most
cordially and addressed In true European
style, telling us that we must feel as If we were
at home. We were given seats IN the big room
on the upper floor, where were gathered the
most curious crowd of women have ever seen.
The first impression was of great splendor of
fabrics contrasting strangely with the baroness
of the large room.
Then one began to notice the grotesque style
of the gowns few were elegant well fitting
dresses; but most of them were of cut you
could never even dream Of Never before had
seen so many rich and gorgeous brocades-
they were stiff with their weight of silver and
gold threads.

waists The curious jacket effect was evidently
one step toward fitted dress. There were

Almost everyone wore rich jewels, some of
them having considerable fortune in dia-

People In Colorado Never Heard of the

which relate to the state OF Washington.

Editor Echo.
I have read in the columns Of your
paper where they have organized, what
is called North Central Washington
Development League" which to my
opinion, is going to build up that par
ticular par of the state very rapidly.
But in order to do that il is essential
to attract homeseekers to come and
locate in those counties where there
are plenty of opportunities to justify
them in building permanent homes.
There are number of people living
here, that are looking for homes, some
are going to Texas, California, Oregon
and other places, that they. hear about,
but very few, that hear of, are going
to Washington. l have talked with Z
few about the Northwest, and wher
I tell them I came from Washington
they seem to think it is Washington
D. c., evidently they don't know there
is such place as a state Of Wash
ington. If you have any descriptive
circulars, Of that particular section o
the county, that you would like to hav'
circulated, send me some and I vii

SEATTLE kEWS,ITEMS

The hap-hazard methods often en-
ployed in levying school taxes in this
state have been revealed by the State
Tax League, an organizatin of large
tax payers, which recently secured
the cancellation of tax levy Of ten
mills in District No. 80 of Cowlitz
County. The levy was made on prop
erty valued at $501,259 and would
have raised tax of $5,012.5o whereas
the school district contains but twelve
scholars, and the annual cost of the
school is only 5000. The State Tax
League which has been organized to
investigate such tax levies as this, I'M
earthed the facts and brought suit in
the superior court of Cowltz county to
have the levy set aside, and the court
ordered this action taken. At the time
the 10-mill levy was made there was
$1,000 in the county treasury belonging
to district No. 80, enough to support
the school for more than two years.
The school directors apparently acted
without any knowledge of the finances
of property values of the district.
Although the public has little sympa-
thy as a rule with the property owner
who complains of his school tax, every
taxpayer is interested in preventing
needless waste or misrepresentation,
such as this case would have caused,
and the State Tax League proposes to
keep watchful eye on what is done
with money raised by taxation.
The death of Governor Cosgrove,
coming at time when he was sup
posed to be almost ready to return to
Olympia and take up his active duties
as executive, has called forth heartfelt
sympathy from the people of the state,
regardless of creed or station. Poll
ticians laid aside their petty affairs for
the week and focked to the capitol to
pay last tribute to the honest, brave
old man whom all admired. Many a

ing madly about, seeking political

Washington than that Of the barehead

1t Pays to Advertise

When the dimpled babys hungry, what
does the baby do?
1t does not lie serenely and merely sweetly
coo;
The hungry baby bellows with all its little
might,
TIL someone gives II something TO curb its
appetite.
The infant with the bottle which stills its
fretful cries
A lesson plainly teaches-it pays to adver-
tise.
The lamb lost on the hillside when dark
ness closes round.
Stands not in silence trembling and wait
ing to be found;
Its plaintive bleating echoes across the
wales and meads,
Until the sheperd hears IL and, hearing
kindly heeds.
And when its fears are ended, rs on his
breast it lies,
The lamb has made this patent: 1t pays to

GoQloVe CoSgroVe, governor OF WASH
ington.
Governor Hay took the oath Of Office
Monday, March %, the day after the
death Of Cosgrove. He has already
been called upon for number Of
official acts, although only necessary
business has been transacted in view Of
the universal mourning for the late
governor. Most notable among the
new executives measures has been the
appointment of Col. Geo. B. Lamping,
Of Seattle to be acknowledgement of the
state, succeeding Gen. Ortis Hamilton.
Gen. Hamilton retains his old rank Of
colonel, but will be without command
for the present at least. Lieut.. Col.
Matt Gormley succeeds to the COM
mand Of the Second regiment, while
Major Otto Case becomes lieutenant
colonel.
The lumbermen of the coast are
leaving no stones unturned in their
fight for the maintenance Of the 50
tariff on lumber, which the Payne tariff
bill now before congress threatens to
reduce to 81 or to wholly eliminate.
At the monthly meeting of the Pacific
Coast Lumber Manufacturers Associa-
ton this week telegram was framed
to be sent to Congressman Cushman,
answering the arguments of Champ
Clark, the democratic leader, who
claims that free lumber would save
American forests and provide cheap
homes for the working man. The tele-
gram reads in part as follows:
In the construction Of story and
a half cottage costing $4,000, ten thou
sand feet OF lumber is used. If the
builder secured the full benefit of a So
reduction of the lumber tariff he would
save $40 on the house. But the re-
moval OF the tariff on lumber will re-
duce wages $80,000,000 annually in
the United States. Clark
is wrong in his conservation idea. Gif-
ford Pinchot and the lumbermen before
the ways and means committee showed
that more standing timber would be
destroyed under free lumber than I'M
der the present duty"
Read Admiral Robley D. Evans, bet
ter known as Fighting Bob," was
visitor in Seattle during the past week
in the course OF his lecture tour of the
country, and during his stay here was
the guest of the A.-Y.-P. exposition
officials for a trip around the fair
grounds. The admiral was the first
noted visitor to the fair who has been
taken thru the interior Of any of the
buildings. He expressed his approval
Of the fair in the following words:
IF one should comb all the world
he could not find a more beautiful spot
for an exposition than the site of the
aska-Yukon-Pacific fair. l have seen
nothing myself to equal it. It is a
veritable jewel of place. And the
fair will be ready, too, in my opinion"
Fighting Bob" is not man given
to many words, but his quiet remarks
about the exposition were fully appre-
ciated by the fair management. The
admiral saw the exposition grounds
with most Of the large buildings COM
plete, and a score Of the smaller ones
nearing completion. The fair grounds
will be everywhere dotted with these
smaller structures, and they do much
to complete the general plan OF the
grounds, and to give the finishing
touches to the completed picture as it
has been planned by the landscape
men and the architects.
