This educational work should bo continued without Interruption.

In tho case of wires and pipes causing tho Ignition of woodwork, tho blame Is to bo placed upon thoso who are rcsponslblo for tho construction or tho main tenance of tho building.

Tho Palestine exploration fund has mndo very interesting contributions to history. A press dispatch states that MessrB. Mackonseo and McAllister, working under tho auspices of this or ganization, havo unearthed tho ancient city of Dethshomosh, about 30 miles from Jerusalem, which was tho city of tho trlbo of Judah and allottod to tho , priests. Dethshomosh figured in early Jewish history in connection with tho calamity that befell 1U inhabitants on account of tholr irrovercnt hnndllng of tho ark. Tho numbor of deaths among avia tors is larger than it was becauso tho numbor of aviators and tho number of trips aro larger. Iloally tho rata of mortality in aviation Is undergoing steady reduction. European statisti cians assort that last year's deaths of aviators avoragod only ono for each ono hundred thousand miles o( air flight, whoreaB tho rato was ono for each ono thousand miles of flight as recently as threo yoars ago.

Tho threo mon arrested gavo tho names of Edgar W. Stagg, flfty-sovon ycarB old; William Uunyon, nineteen, and Joseph Mnrquotto, thirty-four.

All this occurred during the ar raignment of Romalno Moizlro, Eu ro nt Hortllnpo, John Perrlzlnl nnd John Zader, all accused of being "high grado" men, which Is not as paradoxi cal as It sounds, for in Leadvllle, Col., whero tho prisoners worked as min ers, a "high grader" is a chap who steals gold right out of tho voln. Tho alleged high graders wore nr rcstcd at tho Pennsylvania railroad station by Detectives Phelnn and a squad of picked men. Tho arrests followed n telegram from Sheriff Schrader of Lcadvllle that thoy had got away with $50,000 worth of stolon gold, tho samo being contained In their trunks, which were declared to weigh almost half n ton.

Tho business man, especially, needs food in the morning that will not over load tho stomach, but glvo mental vigor for tho day. Much depends on tho start a man gets each day, as to how he may ex pect to accomplish tho work on hand. He can't bo alert, with a heavy, frled-mcat-and-potatoes breakfast re quiring a lot of vital energy in di gesting it. A Calif, business man tried to find soma food combination that would not overload tho stomach In tho morning, but that would produce energy. Ho writes: "For years I was unablo to find a breakfast food that had nutrition enough to sustain a business man with out overloading his stomach, causing Indigestion and kindred nilments. "Being n very busy and also a very norvouB man, I decided to glvo up breakfast altogether. But luckily I waB induced to try Grapo-Nuts. "Slnco that morning I havo been a now mnn; can work without tiring, my head is clear and my norves strong and quiet.
