' It is all very well, when you have nothing to do but kill time, to talk about keeping the boys on the farm, but you might as well spend your time spitting at a crack. Boys will stay on a farm as well as anywhere, if they re ceive decent treatment at home. The boy who is yanked out of bed by the hair, kicked dut to milk and cuffed in to breakfast, as a preliminary to being popped through in the field all day, is not likely to be consumed by hia love for the glories of agriculture nor for his sire. Give the boy' a fair show, be '11 stay with you till the cows come home. If you are so mean that he can't stay at home, don't go to your neighbors with a hypocritical snuffle and tell about your boy's ingratitude after you have raised hi in. Subscribe for the "News, 'only 11.00 a year. How Prof. Anderson Invented Foods Shot from Guns He was seeking a way to break up starch granules, so the digestive juices could get to them. Cooking or baking only begins to do that. No old-time method breaks up all of the granules. ' So he conceived the idea of blasting those granules to pieces by an explo sion of steam. And these foods resulted the most delicious, most digestible cereal foods ever created. Each kernel, by the explosion, is puffed to eight times size. It is made four times as porous as bread. It is made nut-like and crisp, ready to melt in the mouth. They are made so enticing that children delight in then. Grown folks, too. They are so irresistible that seven teen million dishes were consumed last month. When will you find them out? Puffed Wheat-lOc Puffed Rice-1 5c These are the foods invented by Prof. An derson, and this is his curious process: The whole wheat or rice kernels are put into sealed guns. Then the guns are revolved for sixty minutes in a heat of 550 degrees. That fierce heat turns the moisture in the grain to steam, and the pressure becomes tre mendous. (12) Then the guns are unsealed, and the steam explodes. Instantly every starch granule is blasted into a myriad particles. The kernels of grain are expanded eight times. Yet the coats are unbroken, the shapes are unaltered. We have simply the magnified grain. One package will tell you why people de light in them. Order it now.

Rockefeller recently addressing the Euclid Avenue Baptist Sunday school at Cleve land, said: "Mrs. Rockefeller told me that I should not talk too much, as she thought it might not be good forme." 'I think many of us talk too much. This is true among many church peo pie who spend too much time in quoting Scripture, and too little in practical Christianity.' 'Ac tions speau louder than words,' he said, 'and children are the first to notice thin, as was the case of two good men who were my fa ther's neighbors. One was al ways quoting from the Scripture b u t he was hard to get along with. The boys in the neighborhood thought be would have done more good if he had given his men less Scripture and more time for din ner. The other neighbor was never heard to quote from the Bible outside of church, but he was very kind to his workmen and was good to us boys, letting us ride on his horses, and Invited us to share his apples and cider.'" 1 1'iyr I LQM 4 l Buru elaaa mm irr without chanta I . 1 ek or IroaUaa1 ekimaar.
