Must Have tho Kind of Food That Nourishes Brain. "I am a litorary man whoso nervous energy is a great part of my stock in trade?, and ordinarily I havo llttlo pa tience with breakfast foods and tho extravagant claims made of them. But I cannot withhold my acknowledg ment of tho debt that I owo to Grato Nuts food. "I discovered long ago that tho very bulklnoss of the ordinary diet was not calculated to glvo ono a clear head, tho power of sustained, accurate think ing. I always felt heavy and sluggish in mind as woll as body aftbr eating the ordinary meal, which diverted tho blood from tho brain to the dlgestivo apparatus. "I tried food3 easy of digestion, but found thorn usually deficient in nutri ment. I experimented with many break fast foods and they, too, proved un satisfactory, till I reached Grape-Nuta And then tho problem was solved. "Grape-Nuts agreed with mo per foctly from the- beginning, satisfying my hunger and supplying tho nutri ment that so many other prepared foods lack. "I had not been using It very long before I found that 1 was turning out an unusual quantity and quality of 'work. Continued uso has demonstrat ed to my entlro satisfaction that Grape-Nuts food contains tho elements needed by tho brain and norvouB sys tem of tho hard 'working public wri ter."

Now that It seems certain that two new states will bo ndded to tho Union by March 4, New Mexico nnd Arizona being slated for promotion from territories, tho flag factories run by tho government are In for some busy tlmos. It will bo necessary first for tho departments here to ducldo how tho now stara shall bo placed on tho flag. Tho field of the flag 'Is becoming crowded with stars and It is no easy matter to re arrange them so that tho section re served for constollatlons may not be martlsttcnlly Jumbled. This duty de volves upon ofllclnls of tho army and navy departments who must meet and decide how tho new stars repre senting tho two now states aro to bo placed on tho fleld of tho flag. Then tho work of rearranging tho Hold on all tho flags owned by Uncle Sam will bo bogun, and a gigantic task it will be. Tho army flags aro ull remade at tho various government depots, tho work being given to women who uro widows of army men or -daughters of veterans with somo claim on tho government for employment. Tho nn val flags aro usually fixed up by tho sailors themselves, the Jnckics being Just as handy with tho neodlo and the sowing machlno as the women and Uncle Sam Teaches AN0T15D professor from the Univer sity of Chicago, who spent several months in tho Phlllpplno islands as lecturer at tho teachers' vacation as sembly, conducted by tho bureau of education every year at Bagulto, tho summer capital of tho Islands, re turned recently to tho United States. "Other nations ono of thoBo days will be coming to tho Philippines to see how tho educational triumphs havo been won," ho said, In speaking of the work of tho schools there. Without question ono of tho tri umphs of America in tho Orient is the wonderful work thnt has been ac complished there by tho public school system during tho ten years since its organization. From "a mere handful of pupils, and an cxpcndlturo of a fow thousand dollars In 1901, the sys tem has developed until now it reaches into every town and nearly, every village of tho Island, and last year instructed more than 600,000 boyB and girls. The Philippine gov ernment spent moro than $3,250,000 of local revenue for education. Tho scrvlccB of moro than 9,000 American and Filipino teachers aro employed In tho various schools of. the Islands as supervisors and class- Federal List of AV.WAYS DID UKt TO CO DEER HUhTirV THE so-called "list of immortals" of tho United StatCB biological sur veya roBter kept by that bureau of all hunting fatalities In this country already this year has had added to It 47 names. From this Information tho bureau hopes after a fow years to bo ablo to deduce general principles which will bo of value In framing "Hfe-Bavlng" federal and Btato game laws. "Ono fact which we havo learned during the three years wo have kept this record," said Dr. T. S. Palmer, chief of the bureau, "la that there aro practically no deer hunting accidents in stnles which prohibit tho shooting of does. This Is becauso in those states the hunter hesitates a moment Pay Girls to Paw UNIQUE among government "Jobs" Is that of tho two women who sit side by sldo down in tho basement of tho treasury department nnd spend the entlro day going through the con-' tents of tho department waste bas kets.

Tho addition of ono star to tho flag sometimes proves an easy task. Tho amount of work Involved dcuends upon tho position of tho stars already on tho flag. If there Is room at tho bottom of tho last row of sturB for tho addition of another then It is merely a matter of adding that extra star nnd this Is a comparatively easy Job. But tho Held of stars Bcldom lends itself in that kind of manner to tho work of adding additional stars. Tlic symmetrical arrangement of the stars Is a matter of tho utmost Importance nnd this requires much much thought and skill on tho part of tho ofllclals to whom la entrusted tho work of designing a field with the extra stars added. Tho first work when tho design of tho now ling has been sent out to tho arsenals, Is to rip off tho stars thnt havo to bo placed la different posi tions. TIiIb work Is done by rows of women who aro armed with sharp pointed knives. They placo trio star to bo removed on a padded bnso that holds the cloth taut. Then thoy care fully rip out the stitches until tho star Is removed. This work goes on for weeks nnd sometimes months, for all tho flags In tho country must bo rearranged. As tho stars aro ripped off they are dropped in bnskcts nnd not usctLngnln, now stars being sown on to replace tho discarded ones. Tho new stars are cut by means of a dlo.

The University of Chicago sent Dr. Shcpnrdson nnd Dr. Goodo, two of Its ablest and most successful extension lecturers, to Manila during tho past vacation to remain in resi dence at the vacation assembly of teachers and conduct education courses during the session. In referring to tho class of mon nnd women engaged In tho education work there, they speak In tho high est terms. "I havo seen many gath erings of educators, but nono which average higher thnn this one," said Dr. ShopardBon. . "Tho reason, no doubt, Is thnt nowhere elso could such a company be found of mon nnd wom en who aro doing" pioneer work, who havo tho spirit of tho pioneer, nnd whoso earnestness In pursuing ideals is reflected In conversation and con ference ' talk."

TALK ON CAPILLARITY Moisture Steadily Transferred From One Particle to An.0th.9r. When Surface of Soil Is Left Undis turbed Tubes Come Closo Togeth er, Allowing Water to Pats From One to Anothor. Now capillarity 13 a big word, nnd It moans something pertaining to a hair. Now hair haB very llttlo to do with tho soil and yet "capillarity of tho soil" Is a common term. Very lino tubes nro called capillary, or half like tubes, and the word capillary la often applied wrongly becauso wo hove no tetter word to express tho moaning. For Instance, tnko two sheets of glass and place them In a ran of water, and tho water will How up between them (nr above tho cvcl In tho pan. and If tho glaBs Is not too long. It will run over tho top, wrltOH John iBanc In tho Town nnd rountry Journal. This la called capll 'ary attraction. Place a pleco of wool n rag In a pan of water nnd lonvo ono oud of It over tho sldo and tho wator will run up the cloth and over 'he rim or tho pan. This, too, I3 called splllnry attraction, yet In neither faro are their any halra or hair llko .'ubes. Now, In tho soil wo often M'ak of tho loss of molsturo by capll 'nrlty or caplllnry attraction, and ot "aplllary tubes through which tho wa ter csenpea. but thoro nro no such lubes and no continuous pnsnngo be tween tho tdwer moisture In the soli nnd tho surface Hut thoro Is a con stant flow of water through tho eoII, and this molsturo Is being steadily transformed frdm one par tlclo to another. Now when tho, surface of the soil Is left undisturbed theso particles como very closo to gether, nnd tho closer thoy lie to gether tho moro easily tho wntef pnssca from ono to tho other. So It tho ground is loft It compnets, thnt la, tho soil particles como closor to gether; thlH forms a very closo con nection between tho surfaco and tho lower layers, nnd between these closely compneted particles thoro nro mlnuto spaces through which tho water raises with comparative rapid ity, this comes to tho surfneo and Is ovnporatod by tho sun, bo thnt It Is lost to tho soil nnd wo say tho ground Ib dry. In speaking of this process It Is often said that tho molsturo es capes through capillary tubes, al though na you boo, thoro aro no tubes nt all, only a closo connection bo tweon tho mlnuto soil particles, which Is Just as bad, for It affords n continuous passage for tho water to como up to the surface and bo lost To prevent tho escapo of this niolBturo too rapidly, somo poopld apply what Is known as a mulch to tho soil, or to such parts as thoy wish to protect. This Is somo kind of cov ering, straw or other, which will ahndo tho ground nnd provont tho evaporation of the wntor by tho sun. This, of course, does not provont tho tens of thousands of llttlo pumps' which aro at work on ovory squaro foot of tho soil from bringing tho molsturo to tho surfneo. To check thlB loss and prevent too much of tho water from escaping, wo rosort to whut Is called "cultivation." Thnt la wo keep tho surfaco always broken up; keep stirring tho top soil, so that tho connection between tho soil particles is brokon up and pre vented from being continuous. This forma what Is called n dust mulch, or a dust covering, and If this Is kept from compacting, It prevents tho for mation of continuous passages for tho water which Is kopt In tho soil, until It flows pnst the trees and plants whose roots tnko It up and uso It for building up their Hbbucs and making fruit nnd grnln, it does not tako long ,for tho particles to sottlo closo to gether again, so that they roqulro fro quont stirring up. You will undor .stand from this tlo philosophy of cultivation, or tho froquont ntlrrlng ot tho soil, nnd why it Is necessary.
