WORK OF HEN ACCELERATED
Electric Food Heater Invented to
Serve Warm Meals In Chicken
Yard at All Hours.

There are all sorts of devices to &C.
celerate the barnyard hen to greater
activity in the matter of her chosen
profession of laying eggs. Nearly ev-
cry chicken raiser has some individ-
ual opinion on this subject, but there
are a great many who adhere to the
notion that the hens do their best
work in this direction when they are
given warm feed. The preparation of
this is a matter of some considerable
trouble, and for the sake of conven-
lence many owners make a compro-
mise by giving the hens a warm meal
once a day. Now, then, If a warm
meal once a day is good for the chick
ems, a warm meal all day long should
be SO much the better, and. acting on
this suggestion, an inventor has made
an electric food heater by which it
will be possible to serve warm meals
at all hours in the chicken yard. Cur
rent is conveyed to the device by
means of wires connecting with the
household circuit, and this, passing in
to a small electric heater, keeps the
chicken food at a very desirable tenn
perature at all times. The invention
is also of value in the winter time
when the drinking fountains Of the
poultry yard freeze up in a short time.
This heater will keep the water. in
proper condition at all times. The
amount of current consumed is said to
We very small.

Too Ardent a Lover.

Georgotto Fontano, an embroiderer
who lives in the Rue Sevres in Paris,
has found herself condemned to a
months imprisonment for what seems
to her a harmless act.
She was going home from a concert
a few evenings ago when she decided
she would like to see her flance. AS
he happens to be a fireman whose
station is in her own neighborhood it
occurred to her it would be very easy
to summon him to her side by break
ing the glass Of the fire alarm and
sounding a call.
She did 50 n In a few moments
fire engines came from several direc-
tons, all laden with firemen, of course,
but alas! her fance was not among
them, and more than that all the fire.
men were angry, and before she knew
what had happened she was taken to
a magistrate, who proceeded to make
the course Of true love run unsmoothly
by sending her to prison for a month
in spite Of her tears and protests that
she thought 1t would be a simple way
of bringing her fance to her side.

IDLY of the young lady who visited the
Baldwin locomotive works and then
told how a locomotive is made.
"'You pour she said, "a lot of sand
into a lot of boxes, and you throw old
stove lids and things into a furnace,
and they you empty the molten stream
Into a hole in the sand, and everybody
yells and swears. Then you pour 1t
out and let it cool and pound it, and
then you put it in a thing that bores
holes in it. Then you screw 1t to-
gether, and paint 1t, and put steam in
it, and 1t goes splendidly; and they
take it to a drafting room and make
a bluep rint Of it. But one thing I for

and they pound frightfully; and then
they tie it to the other thing, and you

An Alaskan Luncheon.

Runners of wove Indian basketry,
with white drawnwork doilies at each
of the IL covers, were used on an oval
mahogany table. The doilies were
made at sitka. In the middle of the
table a mirror held a tall central vase
Of frosted glass, surrounded by four
smaller vases, all filled with white
spring blossoms. The edge of the
mirror was banked with the same
flowers. Four totem poles we're placed
on doilies in the angles made by the
runners.
Place cards we're water colors of
Alaskan scenery. Abalone shells held
sailed nuts, and tiny Indian baskets
held bonbons. The soup spoons were
of horn, several of the dishes used
were made by Alaskan Indians, and
the cakes were served on baskets.
The menu was as follows: Poisson
a la Boring Sea (halibut chowder),
Yukon climbers (broiled salmon, po-
tatoes Julienne), snowbirds avec
auroraborealis (roast duck with jelly),
Shungnak river turnips, Tanana

when the dock officer was reading out
a few OF the cases which were to come
before the court that morning, and a
guilty conscience apparently led him
to mistake these items fer a list of his
previous convictions.
He stood passive enough while the

Two Very Old Ladies'.

We have heard a great deal lately
about long-lived people, but it is prob
able that the oldest two people in the
world today are Frau Dutkievitz and
another old lady named Babavaslika.
The former lives at Posem, in Prus-
sian Poland, and was born on Febru-
airy e., 1885. She is therefore one
hundred and twenty-five years old.
The latter, however, is nine months
her senior, having been born in May,
1884.
She is still a fairly hale old woman,
and for nearly M hundred years
worked in the fields. Her descendants
number close OF 100, and these now
make her a joint allowance. She lives
at the village Of Bavelsko, whose
nefghborhood she has never quilted
during the whole of her long life. She
remembers events which happened at
the beginning of last century much
o clearly than those Of the last
40 years.-Dundee Advertiser.

TALK THROUGH A TELEPHONE
Strained, High-Pitched Voice Abso.
lutely Not Needed In Carrying on
Conversation Over Wire.

Most men-and women-use moro
nervous force in speaking through the
telephone than would be needed to
keep them strong and healthy for
years.
Nature knows no strain. True sci.
ence knows no strain. Therefore, a
strained, high-pitched voice does not
carry over the telephone wire as well
as a low one, writes Annie Payson
Call, in Nerves and Common Sense.
Impotence, rudeness, indecision and
diffusement blur communication by
telephone even more than they do
when one is face to face with the pei.
son talking.
1t is as If the wire itself resented
these inhuman phases of humanity
and spit back at the person who in
suited it by trying to transmit wei it
such unintelligent bosh.
To a demanding woman, who is
strained and tired herself, a wait of
10 seconds seems 10 minutes. I have
heard such a woman ring the tele-
phone bell almost without ceasing for
Is minutes. I could hear her strain
and anger reflected in the ringing Of
the bell. When finally she "got her
party. the strain in her high-pitched
voice made it impossible for her to be
clearly understood. Then she got an
cry again because central" had not
given her a better connection" and
finally came away from the telephone
nearly in a state of nervous collapse,
and insisted that the telephone would
finally end her life. I do not think
that she once suspected that the
whole state Of fatigue which had al
most brought an illness upon her was
absolutely and entirely her own fault,

Pretty Good Definition.

We hear some funny things in Fleet

definition of the height Of aggravation,
by a gentleman in rather shaky boots,
whom we encountered in a well-known
hostelry the other day, struck us as
being particularly choice.

Planting Wedding Oaks.


Princess August Wilhelm, wife Of
the kaiser's fourth son, has set herself
the task of reviving one of Germany's
oldest customs, that according to which
newly welded couples Immediately af-
ter the marriage ceremony plant a cou-
pie of oak saplings side by side in q
park or by the roadside Of their ma
tive town.
The town of Mulchausen, in Thurin-
gia, Is the first to respond to the pr1n.
cess appeal. A municipal official ap-
pears at the church door after every
wedding and invites the bride and
bridegroom to drive with him in a car
riage to a new road near the town and
there plant oak saplings.
The tree planting idea was started
by a former elector of Brandenburs
with the object of repairing the raw.
ages caused by the 30 years war. The
elector forbade young persons to mar,
ry until they had planted a number Of
fruit trees.

Plain common sense shows the better way
is to stop food that evidently has not been
digested.
Then, when food is required, use an easily
digested food. GrapeNuts or any other If
you know 1t to be predigested (partly digested
before taking).
We brought to Court analytical chemists
from New York, Chicago and Mishawaka, Ind,
who swore to the analysis Of Grape-Nuts and
that part of the starchy part of the wheat and
barley had been transformed into sugar, the
kind of sugar produced in the human body by
digesting starch (the large part of food).
Some of the State chemists brought on by
the weekly said Grape-Nuts could not be
called a "predigested" food because not all Of
1t was digested outside the body.
The other chemists said any food which had
been partly or half digested outside the body
was commonly known as "predigested."
Splitting hairs about the meaning of a word.
It is sufficient that If only one-half Of the
food is "predigested," 1t is easier on weakened
stomach and bowels than food in which no
part is predigested.

That Suit for Libel
Against the Postum Cereal Co, Ltd, Gave a Splendid Chance
to Bring Out Facts

A disagreement about advertising arose
with a weekly" Journal.
Following 1t, an attack on us appeared in
their editorial columns; sneering at the claims
we made particularly regarding Appendicitis.
We replied through the regular papers and
the weekly" thought we hit back rather too
hard and thereupon sued for libel.
The advertisement the weekly attacked
US about claimed that in many cases of appen-
dicitis an operation could be avoided by dis
continuing indigestible food, washing out the
bowels and taking a predigested food Grape
Nuts.
Observe we said MANY cases not all.
Wouldn't that knowledge be a comfort to
those who fear a surgeons knife as they fear
death?
The weekly writer said that was a lie.
We replied that he was ignorant of the facts.
He was put on the stand and compelled to
admit he was not a DR.. and had no medical
knowledge of appendicitis and never investi-
gated to find out If tho testimonial letters to
our Co. were genuine.
A famous surgeon testified that when an
operation was required Grape-Nuts would not
obviate it.. True.
We never claimed that when an operation
was required Grape-Nuts would prevent 1t.
The surgeon testified bacteria [germs1 help

experts that undigested food was largely
responsible for appendicitis.

cases are healed without q knife, but by stop
