Butter Wrapper
Day is Saturday

Jails, penitentiaries and the gallows
are built for those who refuse to live
within the law, and want to be a law
unto themselves. Walk in the straight
and narrow path and at all times be
able to read your title clear. There is
a law in this state compelling people to
have printed wrappers on their butter.
Some imagine they are wise and use a
rubber stamp, in this case the ink will
offset unto the butter and probably
poison it, hence it doesn't fill the law.
BUTTER WRAPPER BLUE INK
can be handled only with a printing
press and is guaranteed not to offset
"a hours after printing. We, at The
Spanish Fork Press Office, have won an
enviable reputation with the people in
printing butter paper, that the only
reason we get the business.

An Unnecessary Confession.

An Unnecessary Confession.
A hearty laugh was occasioned at
the Birmingham police court by pris.
oner who gave himself away in a very
delightful manner. The man was the
first on the list, and the charge against
him was merely one Of being drunk
and disorderly. He stepped into the
dock, however, just at the moment
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
officer read out about a dozen drunk
and disorderlies, but when he came to
one "shopbreaking" the prisoner ex-
claimed excitedly, THAT was eight
years ago, your honor" Everyone be-
gan to laugh, and the prisoner, realiz-
ing the blunder he had made, at first
looked very black indeed, but finally
saw the humorous side of the matter,
and a broad smile spread over his face.
His blunder did not cost anything

An Alaskan Luncheon.

Runners of woven Indian basketry,
with white drawnwork doilies at each
of the IL covers, were used on an oval
mahogany table. Tho doilies were
made at Sitka. In the middle Of the
table a mirror held 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 tho same
flowers. Four totem poles were placed
on doilies In the angles made by tho
runners.
Place cards were water cOlors of
Alaskan scenery. Abalone shells held
salted 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
beets, Skagway hash (salad), Fair
banks nuggets (ripe strawberries ar
ranged on individual dishes around

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. Grape-Nuts or any other II
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 "predigested" food because not all Of
it 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 word.
It is sufficient that If only one-hah Of tho
food is ''predigested" it is easier on weakened
stomach and bowels than food In which no
part Is predigested.
To show the facts we introduce DR.. Thos

Bankers and Bank Notes.

nected with brokerage concerns in the
Wall street district, were discussing
United States paper currency and the
disappearance OF counterfeits. I'VE

the party, "as to the commences of
bills that little attention is paid to
them in handling, except as to de-
nomination" To prove his assertion
he took q SO yellowback from his
pocket, and, holding it up, asked who
could tell whose portrait it bore. No
ono knew, and by way Of coaching
the broker said it was the first treas
urer Of tho United States. Again no
one knew the name. "Why. It's

DR.. Hiram c. Cortlandt, tho we'll

In a recent address:
Thomas A. Edison tells us that he
thinks the soul Is not immortal; but,
after all, what does this great wizard
know about souls? His forte is cleo
tr1city and machinery, and when he
talks Of souls he reminds me irresist-
IDLY of the young lady who visited tho
Baldwin locomotive works and then
told how locomotive is made.
"'You pour she said, a lot of sand
into lot Of boxes, and you throw old
stove lids and things into furnace,
and they you empty the molten stream
into hoe in the sand, and everybody
yells and swears. Then you pour IL
out and let it cool and pound it, and
then you put 1t in thing that bores
holes in 1t. Then you screw it to-
gether, and paint 1t, and put steam in
it, and it goes splendidly; and they
take it to drafting room and make
a bluep rint of it. But one thing for
got-they have to make a boiler. One
man gets inside and one gets outside,
and they pound fr1ghtfully; and then
they tie 1t to the other thing, and you
ought to see 1t go!'"

new SAWS BADLY NEEDED

"You know all the copybook, Nc

gan the sad-eyed, understood little
man on the car Sure you do. Now
let me tell you something. See that
big apartment house over there on
the right? And that little business
block right next to it?
We'll, there weren't any apartment
houses or business blocks on it when
l first clapped eyes on it. 1t was
bowling wilderness, in fact, and you
could almost chase rabbits up here.
That was about eighteen years ago.
l had a bunch then-and I was only
eighteen years old at that time-that
this land would some day jump in
value by leaps and bounds. When
was twenty years old came into
bunch of $4,000. went to my guar
dian, an old man., pretty prominent
in estate management and wisdom at
that time, and told him I wanted to
soak the whole $4,000 in this block
of ground l pointed out to you. The
block was then on the market for
exactly $4,000. The old gentleman
pooh-poohed me.
"'Go away, boy he said to me, with
a patronizing smile. You don't know
what you want. It's my duty to save
you from such wild notions as this
one you've got into your head. They'll
be shooting rabbits and squirrels out
there on that plot so years from now.
G'way'
Il argued it with him, and he sat
down on me. Then he went and in
vested my $4,000 at three per cent.
Three years ago the man who
bought that same block Of ground for
$4,000 sold it for about $1,000 cash,
and he's now cruising over In the
Mediterranean or some place or
other, while I'm taking my wife out
for nickel car rides and wondering
where my $4,000 went.

Two Very Old ladi2S.

We have heard 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 Fosem, in Prus-
sian Poland, and was born on Febru-
airy 21, 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 fairly hale old woman,
and for nearly one hundred years
worked in the fields. Her descendants
number close on 100, and these now
make her a joint allowance. She lives
at the village of Bavelsko, whose
neighborhood she has never quilted
during the whole of her long life. She
remembers events which happened at
the beginning of last century much
more clearly than those of the last
40 years.-Dundee Advertiser.

Bunch was out of the tolls of the
law. He had loaned me his country
house for a day, and I had presented
1t to Clara J. intending to take 1t
right back. I had used ghost stories
and burglars as levers with which to
pry her loose from her ownership OF
Trouble villa, but she wouldn't part
Nth It. Bunch, as the phoney bur-
glar, had been gathered in by the VII
iage constabulary, but had escaped;
Ard was returning frou the shadow
of the pen.
When reached the cottage I found
all the members cf my household
dressed for the day and lined up on
the piazza, eager for news from the
battlefield
Gee Whit" exclaimed Uncle Peter,
''the boy is bareheaded! Where's
your hat, Jotn?"
Mercy! I hope you're not
scalped!" Aunt Martha cried, sympa-
thetically.
1 explained that the desperate put
up a stiff fight against Diggs the con-
stable and myself; warming up to the
subject, I went into the details of a
hand-to-hand struggle that made them
all SILVER and blink their lanterns.
When finally l finished with the
statement that the robber knocked us
both down and had made a successful
break for liberty, Uncle Peter gave ex-
preston to yell of dismay, and once
again he and his bow and arrow held
a reunion.
TaCks, my sweet little brother-in-
law, suggested that we burn the
house down SO the burglar wouldn't
be able to find it if he came around
after dark. l thought extremely we'll
Of the suggestion, but didn't dare say
so.
Aunt Martha had just about decided
to unite fit OF Mysteries when Clara
J. reached for the kerosene bucket
and threw oil on the troubled waters.
Lets drop all this nonsense about
burglars and ghosts and go to break
FAST" she suggested. Il don't believe
there ever was ghost within sixty
miles of this house, and to save my
soul l couldn't be afraid Of burglar

the cellar and swearing till help
came,"
After breakfast I was dragged away
to the brook to fish for lamb chops or
whatever kind of an animal it was
that Uncle Peter and Tacks decided
would bite. Aunt Martha posted off
to the city on urgent business, the ma
ture of which she carefully concealed
from everybody.
Clara J. said she'd be delighted to
have the house all to herself for an
hour or two, there were so many
rooms to look through and so many
plans to make.
Uncle Peter gave her his bow and
arrow with full instructions how to
shoot if danger threatened, and Tacks
carefully rubbed the steps leading up
to the piazza with soap so the bur-
glar would fall and break his neck.
Then the little shrimp called my at
tention to his handiwork and demon
strated its availability by slipping
thereon himself and going the whole
distance on his face. He didn't break
his neck, however, so to my mind his
burglar alarm failed to make good.
AS time wore on l felt more and
more like a mock turtle being led to
the soup house.
The fact that Bunch was sore wor-
ried me, and began to realize that 1t
was now only question Of a few
hours when I'd have to crawl up to
Clara ]. and hand in my resignation.
Every time I drew picture of that
scene and heard myself telling her l
was nothing but a fawn-colored four
flush l could see my future putting on
the mitts and getting ready to hand
me one.
And when I thought of the dish of
fairy tales l had cooked for that girl
1 could feel something running around
in my head and trying to hide. l sup
pose it was my conscience, getting
even with me for telling her had
bought her q country house, to ex-
plain the missing numbers from my
pay envelope, which had In reality
been LETT with the bookmakers at the
track.
At the brook Uncle Peter began to
throw out hints that he was the orig
dnal lone fisherman. The lobster never
lived that could back away from him,
and as for fly casting, we'll, he was
Piscatorlal Peter, the Fancy Fish
Charmer from Fishkill.
The old gentleman is very rich, but
he loves to live around with his 1ela-
tives, not because he's stingy, but sim
ply because he likes them and knows
theH are good listeners.

Before DAYS Of Free Press.

0eTOIC 0Ay6 OF
Many of the restrictions that hamp-
cred the influence of the press re-
manned in force until the close of tho
eighteenth century in England. 1t was
not till that period that newspapers
obtained the right to criticise the pol
icy of ministers and of the king. Mr..
Walter, the first editor of the London
Times, was prosecuted for censuring
the duke of York. He was sentenced
to pay a fine of $3.50, stand in the
pillory for an hour, be imprisoned for
a year and give security for his good
behavior for seven years. The order
with regard to the pillory was can
celed, but he had to serve his term in

Difference IN THE RACES
Mexicans In the Main Unjust In
Blaming Americans for Lack
of PoIiteness.

All the Mexican correspondents
who have written on the subject OF
why Americans are not better liked
by Mexicans agree that it Is largely a
question of lack of politeness on
the part of the foreigner here, and in
some cases an ill-concealed contempt.
The latter is inexcusable, and certain
ly must emanate only from inconsid-
crate or poorly educated persons, from
which no nation Is free. Politeness,
however, is largely a matter of form
and training. 1t Is undeniable that
the Anglo-Saxon salutations, methods
of expressing thanks and apprecia-
ton, etc., arc simpler and shorter
than tho Latin forms. To many who
have all their lives been accustomed
to tho briefer Saxon ways, an attempt
of the more elaborate Latin poiiteness
seems, for them, nothing short Of af-
fectation, and they simply cannot do
It. There are exceptions among Amer
leans and Englishmen who readily
adopt tho courteous phrases OF the
Mexicans and use them naturally, but
they are the exceptions. And it is
difficult to see how this can readily
be changed. Our Mexican friends
should understand, on the other hand,
that If Anglo-Saxons do not as rule,
60 through as many social foTmalities
as the usages of the land prescribe,
they mean no ofrense thereby. They
are accustomed to taking good
many things for granted that their
Latin cousins give verbal assurance
Of. Naturally, it is the duty of the
outlander to conform as nearly as he
can to the ways Of his adopted coun-
try, but human nature and settled
habits are pretty hard to make over,
particularly unless you catch them
while they're young.-Mexican Her.
