GET THIS IN YOUR CoCoANUT
The Idea of SubstItuttuE Nut
butter fer the Cow
Product.

Since the days of our cave-dwclling an
ccstors the people of the northlands havc
been eating, for the most part. the flesh
and fats of animals, while in sun-kissed
tropics the natives have been thriving and
finding life one lazy, yawning dream, or
dering from a table d'hote menu Of fruit
and nuts. For long time scientists and
thinkers have been pondering over this
truth, and recently, with the prices of tho
nccessaries of life climbing higher and
higher daily, there has been an effort to
modify the present scheme OF things by
substituting for a meat diet products
equally sustaining that are right at hand,
supplied by Mother Nature.
In this search for cheaper living Amer
lea is learning much from Europe, where
overCrowded cities have made the high
cost of living an old, old story, has just
como another help that promises to be re-
ceived here with great enthusiasm.
Tho innovation will mean merry war
between the docile COW and the humble
cUcoanut for supremacy, for it is nothing
less than a substitute for high-priced but
ter and lard in tho shape of an edible
fat made from the natural oil of nuts. IL
the hopes of a company which has started
the exploiting of the new butter substitute
in America arc realized, the strangle hold
which the beef trust now has on the people
of this country will be speedily loosened,
The now butter moy prove to be one Of the
successful answers to luxuriant living at a
low cost
Nut butter, WI ch is made principally
from cocoanuts, has the appearance OF
lard and is tasteless and odorless Some
of the virtues claimed for It are that it
is absolutely pure where butter is adul-
terated with 10 per cent of water and salt.
Cocoanut butter is said to be easily
simulated by the weakest stomach and can
DO sold at profit for less than 10 cents a
pound.
The men who are trying to educate the
American public and spread broadcast tho
value of the new product have all kinds
of arguments to offer They point to the
fact that today 5,OOO,O0N more persons are
subsisting on nuts, seeds and fruits in
India, China and the islands of tho sea
than in the meat eating zones. This ar
gument is used to prove the wholesomeness
of the nut butter, The new rival of the COW
has already made itself thoroughly at
home in America. Much more so than the
average American realizes 1t is not gem
orally known that a factory with a pro-
ducfhg capacity of $4,000 pounds of the
new butter every day in the year is run
ming at full time in Hackensack, N. j.

UTAR'S NATURAL BRIDGES
Surprising Size and Grandeur of
Arches Recently Discovered.
RANK AS WORLD WONDERS
How biologists Account for the
Processes by which the Archi-
lecture of the Elements
Was Fashioned,

We used to be much interested IN the de-
scriptions and Illustrations in our readers
and Biographies of the Natural bridge OF
Virginia. People travel from all parts OF
the world to behold this strange natural
phenomenon and enjoy the picturesque
scenery Of the Appalachian mountains, and
feel we'll paid for their effort But Utah
is the home of really great natural bridges.
It astonishes us with not merely one, but
half dozen, any one Of which surpasses
the Virginia structure in grandeur and
beauty. The three remarkable bridges
the Edwin the Carolyn and the Augusta
which were discovered in Utah several
years ago, are now eclipsed by another
more marvellous structure in the same
state.
Overlying the southeastern part OF Utah
are the red beds'-strata Of red and yell
low sandstone hundreds of feet thick. For
the most part this formation rests in a
horizontal POSITION but in places sections
lie tipped at an angle of. forty-five de-
g1ees and ore, and great faults have oc-
Cured. Ages ago this entire region was
pushed upward until it checked and
cracked in zlEzag lines away from the
mountains that were formed by the ma
terial from beneath being forced upward
through the superintendent sandstone.
Thus came into being the La SAILS the
Abahos, the Bears Ears, Navajo mountain
and the many deep canons radating from
them.
This process of elevation was a gradual
one, and, as the waters from the noun
tains sought a lower level, they took their
courses through these irregular cracks and
seams, searching for the ocean, which was
then not far away. Their rushing currents
and surging eddies wore off the sharp cor
ners sought out the soft places In the
yielding sandstone, digging out deep cav
ems and recesses in the cliffs, and left
behind them a series of graceful curves and
fantastic forms that amaze and delight the
traveller at every turn. AS the formation
was pushed upward from time to time,
these rushing torrents kept on with their
work of smoothing, cutting and filling I'M
til they have produced the deep box
canons so prevalent in this section. Some
times they widen out into small valleys
of rich alluvisl deposits and again narrow
down to a mere slit between huge masses
of cliffs.

TOO NEAR BRIDGEPORT.
How absurd, when you consider that
South Omaha was started after Omaha
was city of nearly 100000. There is Ben
son which has grown to a little city OF
5000 people and is within stones throw
OF Omaha.

from the provinces solely for the

to Mrs. Lliian NJ Glover, who induced
her to leave her home, Mr. Johnson
denounced the widow as vampire.
He will finish his argument to-mor-

Hattie Leblanc shot him, but when he

When Mrs. Glover was on the stand,
the district attorney became involved
in a heated argument with Judge Bond
upon the admissibllity of some of her
evidence. and the colloquy became so
