You will also remember the
story of Ceres, the Grecian God
dess of grain, whence comes the
name of cereals. AS to when and
where and by what people these
cereals were first selected and
planted and improved from their
wild to their domestic state, his
tory is conflicting, and at times
silent. Certain it is, however, that
the most important cereals of the
highest civilized peoples of the
earth is wheat. maize, oats, rye
and barley in the order named.
1t is true that more people eat rice
than any other cereal, but that is
because rice grows only in or near
the tropics, on land overfowed by
water. and the Chinese are not
considered by US as having reach
ed as high scale of civilization as
those who live in the north tenn
perate zone.
Yet | dare say that if China
man or a Jap should pass upon
this question he would reverse
this opinion-lil;e the Scotchman
who was tainted by the English
man with the definition of oats in
Jhhnson's English Dictionary,
which says that "oats is cereal
or small edible grain which the
Scotch eat and the English feed to
their horses" Yes, that is true"
returned the Scotchman, and
that is why the English have such
fine horses and the Scotch have
such fine men,"

and Rome, then to Northern
Europe and the British Isles,

$500, 100000 to the farmers, or
S66, 100000 more than the most
valuable wheat crop heretofore
produced.
OF course its value can not be
estimated after it gets out of the
possession of the farmers and gets
into the hands of the middle men,
called brokers, but really gam
blers, who never see a grain of it,
yet bear or bull the prices several
times, and even buy and sell
imaginary wheat, before the real
wheat gets into the mills and from
there through other dealers and
middle men until it gets into the
mouths of the millions of consum-
ers in the form of bread, THE
staff of life.''
There are several reasons why
wheat bread is called the staff of
life, and why wheat holds the
highest place among cereals.
From wheat flour only can white
raised bread be made. Indeed,
the whiteness of wheat products

Christian Scientist Lecturer breaches
Doctrine Of Charity.
An audience of 500 or more people
at the Odeon Tuesday night listened to
an able lecture by Judge William G,
Ewing. of Chicago, member of the
board of lectureship of the First
Church of Christ, Scientist, of Boston.
Mr.. Ewing spoke for an hour and a
half, emphasizing the motto of charity
for all and malice toward none, pre-
senting the claims of the cult in a
fair-minded and unimpassioned way,
and from a bible standpoint as he in
terpreted it. He said he didn't como
here to proselyte; that people should
stick to their church and their bafiefs
until they Investigated and found
something better.
Judge Ewing said he had the k'ntf-
Hest Ceilings toward the medical pro-
fession. altho no one had spent more
money with the doctors than he. He
thought they should not find faui. be-
cause Christian Scientists don't like
their medicine, as the doctors don't
take the scientists treatment. In clos
ing he said that if we believe in God
we should trust him to heal disease as
we'll as minister to our spiritual needs.

Preparing the Yearbook.

Copy for the famous yearbook of the
department OF agriculture has made its
appearance at the government printing
Office, and for several months the work
ers IN the various departments will be
occupied in its production. The number
Of copies authorized by law is 5O0,O 900.
but under the workings Of resolution
passed several years ago. il is possible
TO print III two or more editions. As
result, the number issued approximates
125,OOO copies, n saving Of about
500, 900 yearly to the department
For years tho maximum number was
printed, and the amount Of material
entering into the production of this
bag Job IS interesting: Printing and
plate paper amounting 10 $4,000 reums
was required; binders boards, I6S,0
pounds; book sewing o tape, $4,000
cloth, $4,000 yards; glue, 5000 pounds,
The modern method of handling this
mountain Of material is largely me-
chanical. EIoctrotype plates are placed
! on giant presses and the printed sheets
run through folding machines, after
which the sewing machines send the
books 70 the automatic roundcr and
backcr without delay Case-makinp ma
chimes receive the binders boards and
cloth from the cutter and turn out book
covers by the wagon load. Another ma
chine automatically places these eases
or covers on the completed book. and
after drying few hours in the stand
ing press they are ready for the deliy-
cry wagon.
To deliver the rolls of paper neccs-
sary 10 print full edition of the
yearbook would require forty four
cars. while stock for the illustrations
would fill eight cars. Five tons of
binders boards arc necessary TO cover
the book. and nearly. four tons Of glue
and thirty barrels Of flour are used in
the different processes of manufacture
To transport all the incidentals enter
ing into the production of the yearbook
would require two traips of thirty cars
