The Beautiful Rainbow.

We all love to see the rainbow, and
we know that it is formed by the sun
shining through the moisture in the
atmosphere, but mythology has differ
ent theories for it's existence.
The Scandinavians thought it was a
celestial bridge by which the gods
passed to and fro. 1t was doomed to
break down at the last day. Children
are still sometimes told that If they
will walk to the spot from which the
rainbow springs they will find pot
Of gold. There was an idea that the
rainbow drew up water by means of
two golden dishes, which it sometimes
let fall and which were secured by
lucky finders. A Black forest legend
asserted that the rainbow drew its wa
ter by a golden goblet and that shoe
thrown into a rainbow would return
filed with gold.
In Servia the folks used to say that
to pass beneath a rainbow changed the
sex-made q man a woman or the re
verse.
The Sua bians when there is a double
rainbow say that 1t is the devil try
ing to initiate the work Of God.
OF course we are all familiar with
the story Of the rainbow in the Bible
where it symbolizes Gods promise to
Noah that mankind should never again
be visited with so terrible food

KNOWLEDGE OF FOOD
Proper Selection of Great Importance

in Summer.
The feeding of infants is a very
serious proposition, as all mothers
know. Food must be used that will
easily digest, or the undigested parts
will be thrown into the intestines
and cause sickness.
1t is important to know that a
food can be obtained that is always
safe; that is Grape-Nuts.

Grape-Nuts food is not made sole
ly for a baby food by any means,
but is manufactured for all human
beings.
One special point of value is that
the food is partially predigested in
the process of manufacture, not by
any drugs or chemicals whatsoever,
but simply by the action of heat,
moisture, and time, which permits
the diastase to grow and change the
starch into dextrin, portion of
which is further changed to dextrose
or grape sugar This presents food
to the system ready for immediate
assimilation.
Its especial value as a food, be-
yond the fact that it is easily digest
ed, is that it supplies the needed ele-
ments to quickly rebuild the cells

TIMERS IN MOVE
FOR ARBITRATION
Committees for Conference
Named by Masters and
Journeymen.
STRIKE GROWS TIREsoME
Workers Have Been Out Since May 1,
and Both Sides Seem Willing
to Declare War OFF.

Efforts to arbitrate differences are
being made in the strike of journey
men timers and sheet metal workers
of the tri-cities. The strike has been
on since May l and both bosses and
strikers are tired of the situation,
though both stand firm and show no
signs of alarming weakness.
At meeting of master timers at
Rock Island Turner hall there were
3S present, all association firms, ex-
cept two being present. The only
topic of discussion was the strike
situation.
A board of arbitration. composed
of two plumbers, one carpenter, and
two streetcar men, members of Dav-
export unions, was received. This
board Informed the master timers
that it desired to assist boss and
journeymen timers in reaching an
understanding mutually satisfactory.
To Call Peace Conference.
1t was finally agreed that the
journeymen timers shall appoint a
committee of timers of three, one
from each city. and the boss timers,
a similar committee, these two COM
mittees to meet this week with the
Davenport arbitration board and
form a peace congress for the pur-
pose of discussing arbitration.
1t is said that the journeymen tin
ners are willing to make concessions
looking to harmony and a return to
work, but that they are still unwill-
ing to yield to the original demands
of the bosses. The bosses also init
mate that they will make some con-
cessions and arrival of the peace
dove may be scheduled for Monday
or soon after.
Present Lineup.
The boss timers say they are we'll
ing to meet and see what the jour-
neymen have to offer and that shop
owners do not intend to discrimin-
ate when a settlement is arrived at,
but that they will allow all present
strikers to return to work on a fair
footing. The journeymen, it is said,
are halfway willing to allow the
bosses to operate on open shop prin-
ciples, but still hold out against the
insertion of the words "open shop"
in contracts.
