"The White Flour
Pinch" —have you felt
it? With the advancing
price of wheat' 'the five-cent
loaf is doomed," say the
bakers. In its place we
have the six-cent loaf —in
many cities only the ten T
cent loaf. A loaf of white
flour bread is not a complete
ration. However whole
f some and pure, it does not
supply all the proteids the
human body needs. In
Shredded Whect Biscuit <
you have all the body-build
ing nutriment in the whole
wheat grain prepared in a
digestible form. It is always
the same price, always the
same high quality. Eat it for
breakfast with milk or
cream or with fruits. Made

JURY SETTLES A
FAMILY DISPUTE
Brother and Sister Figure in
Ejectment Proceeding in
Common Pleas
Brother and sister

B tiff and defendant
September common
pleas court to-day
which was ended l>y
tlle J ur - v ln return-
L.Mli!kjlffiL ing a verdict for the
j sister. The dispute
mJ grew out of an eject
ment proceeding which James S. Mur
phy instituted against his sister, Mrs.
Isabella B. Eldridge, to compel her
to -vacate her claim to 121 South Sec
ond street, the old Boyd property, pur
chased by the Pennsylvania Railroad
Company to complete the subway im
provements. Mrs. Eldridge contended
that she had owned a half-interest in
the property and later bought out her
brother's share. Before the deed could
be passed negotiations were closed
with the railroad company to buy the
property. Whereupon the brother, she
contended, tried to eject her unless
she paid him half of the purchase
price. All told about S6OO was in
volved. The jury believed the sister.
Following the ejectment proceeding
Judge McCarrell heard the trial of
Lewis Silbert in assumpsit against Wil
liam L. Van Camp. Silbert declares
he sold a house for Van Camp and is
fining to recover the commission, about
Jl6O. No. 1 room, before President
Judge Kunkel, the action of William
Conrad against the Troup Brothers,
piano dealers, to recover the pri-e of
a piano which he said he had obtained
when his old one had been returned.
When he turned in the old one, he
said, he was credited with S3OO, and
ho took another in exchange. This,
he says, wasn't satisfactory, either,
and it also was returned. Since then,
he says, he has received no monetary
return.
