NARSE HENRY
 HAS PASSED ON
Picturesque Journalist, Power in Dem Ocratic Councils and Utterly Fear less American Was Watterson
 To Death Peacefully.

Jacksonville, Fla, Dec. 23,-Colonel Henry Watterson, known to the Amer ican people as one of the iast surviv- ing members of the old school of journalism and to his friends as "Marse Henry" died yesterday at a hotel here
 Death came peacefully, the vener- able editor retaining consciousness all most to the end and conversing during the last half hour with his wife, son and daughter.
 Colonel Watterson came to Jackson vile six weeks ago in accordance with his annual custom of spending the winter in Florida, usually at Fort Myers.
 Cold Grows Serious.
 He contracted slight cold Tuesday and while seated in a chair yesterday morning soon after breakfast he suf- fered an acute bronchial attack and was ordered to his bed by his physi- clan.
 His condition grew worse during the day and night and the end came at 6:15 o'clock this morning. The imme- diate cause of his death, his physicians said, was heart failure, superinduced by congestion of the bronchial tubes.
 Thus "Marse Henry" passed to that beautiful shore" where he last October wrote his comrades of the con federate army he was sure "the bonnie blue flag will be flying at the fore and the bands will be playing Dixie on parade, and the pretty girls will be distributing "The Chattanooga Rebel (the newspaper published by him dur- ing the war between the states), to groups of ragged, red-nosed angels who have not forgotten the rebel yell"
 Keep Body in Florida.
 The body of Colonel Watterson will remain in Florida until some time in the spring, when it will be taken to Louisville for burial in the family | plot in Cave Hill cemetery, where his father and mother rest, his son, Henry Watterson, Jr., announced. Mir. Watterson said his mother was very | frail and that because of her condition as result of the death of her hus- band, he deemed it inadvisable for her to leave Florida during the winter.

The Human Product Comes First

A S 1 went through the Beech-Nut
plant every one Of the different
executives and heads aueried anx-
sously: "What do you think of our
force? Aren't they fine? Real
American stock. We are proud of
our people and believe in the best of
surroundings, a full pay envelope
and not too much paternalism. They
know how they want to spend their
money"
There are spacious dressing
rooms, 3 rest room with . nurse in
attendance, lunchroom with both
coffee urns and a piano, and every
where space-spaciousness that no
city millionaire could afford; light
and views of the Mohawk Valley, its
streams and hills, out of every win-
dow.
Some six hundred people in Office
and factory work under these condi-
tons, and work q nine-hour day at
that, z to II and / to 5, with IL
o'clock closing on Saturday. The
place, with all its activities and
large staff, looked empty to one ac-
customed TO the crowds of Office
buildings, subways and city streets.
In the Offices are the most up-to-
date machinery and electrical de-
vices fer making records and
grouping them for different classi-
fications from different points of
view. Sound-proof rooms for the
stenographers. though glass en-
closed and light--in short, every
thing that modern skill could devise
for efficient control of the income
and outgo.
These are what make the conds-
tlons of work and quality produe-
ton possible. Inefieiency has too
often been goked with vague ideals.
Many men made dirty foods because
they knew no better, not because
they wanted to. That was proved
in the early days of the food Law.
The answer il found in the Beech

A Americanized Macaroni

ENHE family may play certain fa-
vorites, but the one they all
agree is the finest iss always the
baby. And the fair-haired child Of
the Beech-Nut family is the maca-
fonl. A new house. has just been
built for it, and an Italian, one
PietFo Massaro, who learned to
make Haearoni from his cradle
up, is giving ali his hereditary lore
and intuitive knowledge of how
macaroni should be treated, plus
the last word in American santa
ton and cleanliness, to the making
of a product that will hold the in
ternationa1 record.
For while he plainly thinks that
only an Italian can really know
when macaroni is "just right" can
be truly "simpatica" as to its state
of moisture or dryness, he is a bit
scornful about his countrymen's
ideals of cleanliness, and gloats
obviously over the Spotless Town in
which his product is housed.

blue boxes, or glass Jars, looking
just as they reach you.
All this that your breakfast ba-

The Ginger Ale Boy

The ginger extract is made from

resins are T'left in, pure water is
assured by chemical and bacterio-
logical control, the water being I'll
tered, subjected to violet rays, and
SO carefully handled subsequently
that the court as the bottles CONS
through shows practically sterile
condition. The syrup, with the
ginger extract, the sugar, the fruit
flavors, is rendered sterile by bell
ing and goes into the bottles, which
are scrubbed by machinery (inside
and out) in measured amounts. The
carbonated water, sterilized as de-
scribed, and constantly checked
by laboratory examinations is added
last.
Ginger ale is q subtle concoction.
Ginger put in in good faith seems
to lose its power after q while. It
must be aged first to hold it's
strength and the greatest care is
taken by submerging the bottles

uct is characterized by the ginger
and eapsieuga tang rather than by
a fruity taste.
No coloring matter except cara

vatives are used, so absolute purity
and careful handling are essential
to success. It is comfort to know
that the children can drink it with
safety in the hot days to come.

the contrary, only small quantities
being used; but the temptation is
to use it almost altogether, cut
down on the ginger, and so make a
cheaper and less distinctive drink.
Used to reinforce the ginger and
fairly priced, it is not subject to
criticism. 4 word on this seems
timely since the matter so often
comes up.
