SOME USE FOR OLD JOGGS
Don't Fit In Well With the Rest, Out
Boss Had Good Reason for Keep

Tho visitor was being shown about
by tho head of tho up-to-date business
liouso.
"Who Is that dnppor youth at tho
Glass-topped dosl 7" ho asked.
"That Is tho superintendent of tho
card-lndox system. Ho keeps an In
ox showing whoro tho Index cases
are.
"Who Is tho young man with tho
gray gaiters and tho efficient ears?"
"Ho keeps an Index showing tho

Indexes."
"Who Is tho girl with tho golden
hair?"
"She decides undor what Index an

shall bo placed."
"And who Is that gray-halrcd man
at tho disordered, desk In tho cor

"Oh, that's Old Joggs. Ho doesn't

As Johnnie Heard It.
Uttlo Johnnie hnd been accustomed
to go to sleep during every sermon,
desplto the scoldings of his mothor.
One Sunday morning sho sent him
off to church and intimated to him
that If ho went to sleep they would
go Into executive session in tho wood
shed on his nrrival from church.
As n test of his being away sho re
quired that ho toll her the preacher's
text when ho went homo.
Johnnie's natural propensity to
sleep was offset by his fear as to what
might happen in tho woodshed, so he
stayed awake.
Ho came back conscious of tho fact
that he was on tho safo side, and
when his mother asked him what tho
text was he unblushlngly accused the
preacher of tho following text; "Moses
waB an oyster man and made oint
ment for tho shins of his people."
Tho real text was: "Moses was an
austere man and mado atonement for
the sins of his people."

A Leading
Food Expert
stood before the big battery of milling machines in the
Grape-Nuts factories at Battle Creek, Mich., and after
inspecting both the wheat and flour said to the miller:
"That's selected wheat, and no 'patent flour stunt,
either. That wheat comes out of the rolls as honest
and unrefined as it went in. Where did you ever make
flour before that retained the true mineral content of
the grain?"
And the wise miller replied: "I have worked in
a good many mills, and I am no youngster, but let
me tell you, I never made whole wheat flour like that
until I came with this company.
The truth is, white flour is wofully lacking in certain
essential mineral elements which are thrown out in the
milling to make flour white and pretty, and its use
frequently results in impaired health anpl activity.
The famous pure food,
Grape
is made of honest whole wheat and malted barley; and
supplies in splendid proportion all the brain- and nerve
making, bone- and muscle-building elements of the
field grains, including their mineral elements.
Rich, nut-like flavour, ease of serving, and quick
digestibility have made Grape-Nuts a household word
the country over.
