Puffed Wheat 1Oc Puffed Rice-15c

These are the foods invented by Prof An
derson and this is his curious process:
The whole wheat or rice kernels are put into
sealed guns. Then the guns are revolved for
sixty minutes in heat of $50 degrees
That fierce heat turns the moisture in the
grain to steam, and the pressure becomes tre-
mendous.

Local theatre goer sare keenly inter-
ested in the announcement that the
original company and production of
1.-THE Clansman'' will come to the
Gondran theatre on Tuesday, Jan. 26.
This is the famous Ku Klux Khan play
that has turned the country upside
down with its thrilling story of the
reconstruction era in the south.
1.-THE C1ansman' holds the record
of being the most widely discussed
play produced within the last fifty
years. It has been variously de-
scribed as an nanswern and as a
"sequeln TO Uncle Toms Cabin. -
In reality, it is the plain true story OF
the reconstruction struggle in South
Carolina as it's author remembers it
and as told to him by eye witnesses.
The hero of the play, which is dram
atized from Thomas Dixon's novels,
1.-The Leopard's Spots" and s'The
Clansman,n is a young and gallant
leader Of the Ku Klux. Opposed to
him are an ambitious mulatto and a
white Abolitionist from Vermont,
whose daughter the young man seeks
in marriage. The first act shows the
young Ku KIux defying federal author
ity by tearing down misehievous
social equality" proclamation, and
the second shows the sale of his an
cestral homestead to satisfy fraudu-
lent taxes levied by the carpet Dagger
government. In the third act the Ku
Ktux convene in mountain cave to
perform their mystic ritual and to act
as high court of justice.
The last act shows the mulatto
lieutenant. governor of South Carolina
confronting the Abolitionist, his friend
aud protector, with a demand for the
hand of the latter's daughter. The
effect is electrical. The old man
spurns the sutton, forbids him ever to
approach his home again, and says
that four thousand years ofCaucasian
development have fitted his own family
for something better than to end in a
brood OF mulatto brats. This rouses
the politician to Jury: but the timely
arrival of the ku Klux, headed by the
girls white lover, saves the northerner
and rescues his daughter from a
compulsory and degrading mesal-
lance.
The author of The Clansman' has
repeatedly offered 70 forfeit thousand
dollars aud withdraw the play from
the boards il any one can prove that
his picture OF the historical conditions
in South Carolina in 1867 is not
strictly accurate. He says: II went

saw presentation Of Uncle Tom S /
Cabin, which SO cruelty libels the
white people oil the south. sdeter.
