WHY HE DIDN'T SEE THE AIRsHlP
When It Was on the Ground He Looked
In the Air and Vice Versa.

Kansas City. Mo.-The airship was
being taken out to Paramount park on
a motor truck. Out east on Eleventh
street Mrs. Ridge vas sprinkling her
lawn. She saw the truck and its bur-
den, and excitedly called her husband.
MIR. Ridge came to the window
promptly, looked up at the sky, saw
nothing, and said so.
INC, no-not in the air-in the street,
on the truck-there!" cried Mrs. Ridge,
pointing-just as the truck and it's load
disappeared in a depression Of the
roadway.
'Who in blazes would look for an
airship down on the ground?" growled
Mr.. Ridge.
A few days later again found Mrs.
Ridge out on the front lawn and her
spouse in the house. A stir and COM
motion among the neighbors and a sue
c%ession of reports like those of a Cat
ling gun in action carried he lady's at
tention to the sky, when she beheld
Fowler and his airship in beautiful
to her husband:
oh. George! George! Come to the
window and see the %airship!"
Mr.. Ridge came to the window,
looked down h street, then up the
street, but saw nothing.
mo. no-not in the street-up there
in the air!" cried Mrs. Ridge, pointing
skyward just as the bird craft passed
over the house and out of Mr.. Ridges
line of vision.
n that's how Mr.. Ridge happened
to miss seeing the airship.

And for what? Nobody stops to in

have gotten wholly away from the edu-

day. and lost ourselves in an orgy Of
fire and noise.
1t is. perhaps. too much to expect any
sudden return to sanity; but some
effort at least may be mad by cities
and towns toward leading their people
into more moderate and more intelli-
gent forms of celebration. IL explosives

cities and towns were given a thorough
cleaning of rubbish. and all use of ex-
plosives then restricted as to time and
place. the police and public wardens
might have at least a fighting chance to
minimize the disastrous results OF our
public folly during the years it may re-
quire to inspire in our people a desire
for a rational kind of celebration. And
such a desire must be inspired. 1t is
the duty of every citizen to arrange for
it's people suitable amusements or ex-
e%rcises definitely calculated to educate
them in a rational observance OF this
historic holiday. Habits OF folly can be
most easily eliminated by a substitution
of something better. The things n city
can do to interest its citizens in a sane
and wholesome celebration are unlim-
tied, and the municipalities. which. in
the past two years have taken steps in
this direction. are already receiving ma

high sense of civic responsibility.

Independence day is coming; day OF
powder-po1soning and lockjaw; day Of
hospitals n a~mbulances; day Of mu-
tilation and fire and death. II there is
anything that is sane in the American
people 1t is the growing revolt against
our insane manner OF celebrating the
Fourth of July. 1t might be called
.Incendiaries' day." for on that day the
fire fiend runs riot. No man having
n public responsibility fails to dread
1t. No fire department gets through
the day. and the nights on both sides
OF 1T, without exhaustion. 1t is doubt
full II on some fifth of July an entire
city may not c~omplacently burn itself
up in the faces of firemen and fire
er fires the day before to cope with it.
The fire fighting apparatus of our cities
n towns is sc overtaxed by the num-
berless calls which begin on the eve
ming of July 3 Ia response to possible
summons for help by neighboring
fire chief would dare allow even a hose
wagon to go beyond immediate recall
while alarms in his own city are COM
Ing IN at 10-minute intervals? even
the large number OF false alarms, due
to the reckless use of the day, have
their dire Significance. for they tire out
the horses inc the men. and reduce the
ability of the department to cope with
actual fires. When the gong begins to
ring at headquarters. it's call is as i'm
perative for a rubbish heap ablaze as
it is for the home OF a citizen. The
wear and tear of the apparatus, and
even the injury to the horses during So
hours of almost constant. runs. may be
as great for false alarms as for real
ones. 1t seems a sort OF folly almost
too ~unspeakable to relate, u there are
instances where American firemen have
been killed in runs to fires on July 4
by being thrown from trucks by fright
ened horses swerving from their course
at explosives thrown under them as
they galloped past.

DOCTORS SHIFT.
Now Gets Along Without Il.

A physician says: Until last fall l
used to eat meat for my breakfast and
suffered with indigestion until the
meat had passed from the stomach.
Last fall I began the use Of Grape
Nuts for breakfast and very soon
found I could do without meat, for my
body got all the nourishment neces-
sary from the Grape-Nuts and since
then I have not had any Indigestion
and am feeling better and have in
creased in weight.
"Since finding the benefit I derived
from Grape-Nuts I have prescribed the
food for all my patients suffering from
indigestion or overlooking and also
for those recovering from disease
where I want a food easy to take and
certain to digest. and which will not
overtax the stomach.
Il always find the results I look for
when I prescribe Grape-Nuts. For
ethical reasons please omit my name"
Name given by mail by Postum Co.,
Battle Greek. Mich.
The reason for the wonderful
amount of nutriment, and the easy
digestion Of Grape-Nuts is not hard to
find.
In the first place, the starchy part
OF the wheat and barley goes through
various processes Of cooking. to per-
fectly change the starch into dextrose
or grape-sugar. in which state 1t is
ready to be easily absorbed by the
blood.
The parts in the wheat and barley
which Nature can make use Of for re.
building brain and nerve centers are
retained in this remarkable food. and
thus the human body is supplied with
the powerful strength producers. so
easily noticed after one has eaten
Grape-Nuts each day for a week or
ten days.
