100 Years Hence
No More Drudsery-Just Live to
Enjoy Yourselves.

Ella Wheeler Wilcox believes in a
hundred years all drudgery will be
done by machinery. We will fly throug b
the air on the wings of the wind and
have time to see and enjoy all the won
ders of the world and perhaps Of the
heavens which are now sealed books
to the majority, because of the eternal
grind of every day life.
Look back 100 years and the changes
made seem Just as great. What we
wear, how we travel, how we COM
municate. what we eat sensible clothes.
vehicles speedy and comfortable, wire
less telegraphs, telephones. fast trains
and mail steamers, and healthful foods.
Today instead OF loading our stom-
achs with heavy, greasy breakfasts,
that dull the brain and retard our
mornings work. we eat delicious &c
Corn Flakes or Egg-O-See Wheat
Flakes. made by the famous Egg-o-See
process that insures perfect digestion,
high nutrition and greater strength.
Always ready to serve, good for
babes, best for eiilvalids-the sensible
breakfast for business man or the
busy, energetic housewife. Remember
it's the Egg-O-See process that makes
the flakes so crisp and delicious.

in the Santa Monica mountains. Ac-
cording to Heinell, these Mathis of
the damned are at times not unlike
the notes of a melodeon or a pipe or
gan. Again they sound as if q chime
of bells were rung in the distance, and
just after sunset or at dawn of day the
sound might be compared to the string
of the harp.
Heinell ascribes the phenomena to
the presense of hollow grains of sand.
He says that when such sands were
stepped upon or rubbed together the
action was accompanied by the singing
sounds.
