passes the glory of the world.
Mr.. Brady, who is still at his win
ter home. 5l7 East 22nd St, said:
After all there are no reasons
why there should not have been
thousands of memorials to Adam.
Some of us may blame him for the
niisfortunes which we get in this
world, but few Of us wish that we
had not been brought here. 1t was
kind of Adam to come first. He
paved the way, and should be ac-
corded that homage which we pay
pioneers in all fields. There seems
to be glory enough to go around
for everyone who ever did any
thing, and many monuments and
other tributes have been paid to
men who never did anything.
1t has made me feel sad to see
every public committee or board
leave its names on the public build
ings of the city. We cannot have
q new school building without the
long list of the school board, the
building committee and an endless
array cf cher rane5 tabulated
right out on the front to mar its
beauty forever. If it is so easy to
get ones name craven in stone, l
thought it was high time Adam hac
something to show for having
been hcle. Adam had a pretty
hard time Of it. Just think of it
He was something Of hero after

Everybody is likely to have kid
ney and bladder trouble. In fact
nearly everybody has some trouble

MONUMENT 70 ADAM.

Believing that it is better late
than never, Mr.. John p Brady, a
contractor and builder, has had
erected at his country home,
Hickory Grounds, near Gardenville
Nd, q monument to the memory
of Adam, the first man.
Mr.. Brady is a student of Mary
land history as we'll as of theology
and world history, and he IS glad
that he has paid this tribute to
Adam at this time, for he wishes
to claim for Maryland the honor OF
erecting the first formal memorial
to the first man on earth.
Mr.. Brady has Of late seen SO
many persons raised to eminence in
such short order that he began to
grieve for the memory of Adam.
The fear that Theodore Roose-
welt would get a niche in the Hall
of Fame before place had been
found for Adam made Mr.. Brady
realize that no time was to be lost
After spending much thought
upon designs for the monument,
Mr.. Brady came to the conclusion
that nothing could be more fitting
than a plain square shaft Of con-
crete surmounted by a sun dial.
He superintendent the construction
Of the shaft himself, and had a To-
cal dial expert, place the dial.
The work was finished a few days
ago, but the formal ded cation will
not be held until perslmmon time.
Mr.. Brady thinks that ali nations
and all races and all tongues should
be represented. He wishes to avoid
the confusion of tongues referred
to in the Bible, and 50 has decided
to serve unripe persimmon8 to all
who assemble for the ceremony,
No effort will be made to make
the event exclusive. No certificates
of direct decent will be required.
Without saying that ladies would
not be admitted Mr.. Brady wishes
the occasion to be distinctly mascu-
line. He has no intention at any
time to erect a monument to Eve.
He said emphatically that he would
not erect such q monument HIM
self nor contribute to any such
memorial.
The monument bears two oppo-
site panels which read:
THIS THE FIRST
SHAFT IN AMERICA
Is DEDICATED
TO
ADAM

The Best Food for Workers.

The best food for those who work
with hands or brain is never high
priced.
The best example Of this is found in
Quaker Scotch Oats. It stands at the
top among foods that supply nourish
ment and vigor, without taxing the d.
gestion, and yet It is the least expen
sive food one can eat.
This great food value and low cost
make It an ideal food for families who
want to get the greatest good from
what they eat.
Laborers, factory or farm hands, fed
plentifully on Quaker Scotch Oats will
work better and with less fatigue than
II fed on almost any other kind OF
food. All Of these facts were proved
and very interesting information
about human foods were gathered by
Professor Fisher of Yale University In
1908. In addition to the regular pack
age Quaker Scotch Oats is packed In
large size family packages either with
or without china dishes. 3

continues. then, when this enlarged
