Food Fads are Soon Forgotten But Mapl-Flake remains, year after year, the preferred and the staple food. For wheat is the food of the ages, and this is its perfect form flavored with pure maple syrup.

The best time to try food fads is sot in hot weather. In summer, a whole wheat, properly prepared, should form at least one meal a day. Wheat produces the maximum of nourishment and the minimum of heat. It should largely take the place of meat. Fad foods cannot do that. These, of all times, are the days for the practical. You cannot cook wheat as we cook it. Nobody can. We steam-cook it for six hours, then cure it for days.

Mapl-Flake The Food That's All Food

We cook oar wheat In pure maple syrup, mainly for the children's sake. You know how they like maple sugar. That's why they like Mapl-Flake. They are delighted to eat it, as they should la summer, in place of heavier food. Let them have it tomorrow. If the food is half as good as we say, it is better than other foods. One package will tell you. You '11 be sorry you waited to long.

That long process, and that fierce heat, separates the particles so the digestive juices can get to them. You get twice the food value from Mapl-Flake that you get from common flaked foods. Then no part of the food is left to ferment to irritate the stomach lining. Other methods are cheaper. We could make a flaked food in onefourth of the tima. But would you not rather have a food right have it all digest?

During the last years of the eighteenth century the price of grain in England was very high. So much flour was used as hair powder that an attempt was made to check its use. A book, "At the Sign of the Barber's role," contains a copy of a document issued by the "mayor, justices and principal inhabitants"' of Great Tarmouth, recommending the disuse of hair powder for a time. "We flatter ourselves," they said in this proclamation, which was issued in January, 1795, "the military will not hesitate to adopt it, being fully convinced that appearances are at all times to be sacrificed to the public weal and that in doing this they really do good. Jan. 27, 1795." In the following April a party of gentlemen at Woburn abbey entered into an engagement to forfeit a certain sum of money if any of them wore their hair tied or powdered within a certain period. Nevertheless the Tories regarded with distrust persons who did not use hair powder. So late as 1820 a certain Major Cox of Derby, an excellent Tory, declined to allow his son to become a pupil of a well known clerical tutor, for the reason that the clergyman did not powder and that he wore his hair short, which suggested that he must be a dangerous revolutionist. Nearly a Precedent. While there has never been an Instance in which the president and the vice president chosen with him have both died in the course of the term for which they were chosen, this came very near happening in the term for which Harrison and Tyler were elected. When Tyler was serving as president after the death of Harrison, he had an extremely narrow escape from death by the explosion of the big gun Peacemaker on the steamer Princeton, Feb. 28, 1S44, which killed two members of Tyler's cabinet Secretary of State Abel P. Upshur and Secretary of the Navy Thomas W. Gilmer and David GanCiner, the father of Tyler! second wil.

DECLARES EVELYN'S STORY FABRICATION.

HATTIE FORSYTHE. Miss Forsythe, who was an intimate friend of Evelyn Thaw, and also knew Stanford White and Harry Thaw well, has since her return to New York, spoken freely about wnat she knows of the Thaw-White tragedy. Sho denounces Evelyn's dramatic story in court as a complete fabrication and declares that the dead victim of Thaw has been grossly slandered. VENEERED WOOD. It. Advantage. OTer Solid timber For Furniture. If the art of veneering were not the extensive art it is today, it would be impossible for any but the comparatively few who have a good supply of the almighty dollar to possess any fine articles of furniture at all. Veneering is not a new art, but the earliest American cabinetmakers, although using it to some extent, preferred as a rule the solid wood furniture. Today hardwood trees, such as the oak, walnut and ash, have been made more valuable by the invention of veneering machinery which will enable the logs to be sliced up into layers of uniform thickness of less than onetwentieth of an inch. In the old days this process was all by hand and was a slow and arduous undertaking. The advantages of veneered wood are that It will not crack, swell nor warp in the changes from hot to cold weather, and in the case of doors, for Instance, it makes them lighter and more easily handled. For our finest pieces of furniture the bj7t of oak, walnut or ash is used, and it may be seen how much one of these trees is worth. Cut into thin slices, it will give hundreds of feet o.f veneer. A large walnut tree, for instance, will be made into a large amount of veneer and is sought by expert woodsmen. Found in the heart of the woods or on some lonely farm, it is bought by the agent working for the interests of a veneering company, and ten times as much is paid for it to its owner as would be for ordinary lumber. The process includes the cutting and trimming of the tree, sawing into logs of convenient lengths and then the cooking of these logs. They are boiled until soft and pliable in a vat of hot water or steam. They are then sent to the veneering machines, where they are sliced or sawed into pieces from one-tenth to one-thirtieth of an Inch in thickness, of absolutely the same thickness all over. Their soft, pliable condition prevents them from cracking or breaking. The cabinet workers then apply these slices to the articles of furniture, gluing them on with the grain running in opposite directions and with no joinings visible. Instead of making a weaker article the surface is really toughened and hardened by this crosBgrain work, and it may also be polished to a higher luster than the solid wood. Brooklyn Eagle. We are told that the roung Spartans were taught to steal by the authorities for the purpose, presumably, of making them good foragers in wartime. In Egypt professional thieve gave in their names to the chief of the robbers and agreed that he should be informed of everything they might steal. The owner of lost goods applied to the chief for their recovery, and on payment of one-quarter of their Talue thsy were restored in full. The chief robber was salaried by the government.

How She Could Oat a Shock. An electric car was derailed on the main street. The conductor telephoned for the work gang. The passengers were on one side of the track with the exception of one lady, who seemed to be afraid to cross the rails. In a timid voice she asked the conductor, "Would I get a shock If I put my foot on that rail?" pointing to the nearest one. "Not unless you put your other foot on the trolley wire," he answered.

She has a daughter here whom she Idolizes, and she has just explained to me that the girl is engaged to be married and shtf is very anxious about her health.

The young ladies of the Thompson Dry Goods company invited us in the other afternoon to drink lemonade with them, prefacing the invitation with the remark that we must say something nice about them In the paper, and of course we could not do otherwise, for they are all, without a single exception, just as nice and sweet as they can be, and our only wonder is that they have been allowed to remain single so long and some of them, oh, so long.
