This recommendation re ceived the approval of the president and the secretaries of war and navy, so that the new star is already pro vided1 for.

It was hoped early 4n the month that the Bank of England might finish the year without in creasing the rate but the financial flurry in America upset these cal culations and caused unwelcome pressure here, necessitating protec tive measures.

It spems to be agreed that Paris will help if necessary to the extent of 3,000,000.

Well Known Journal Refuses tho Advertising for a Well Known Food Product on tho Ground that the Claims Made for it flavor of "Patent Medicine" Advertising The publisher of a well known il lustrated journal has stirred up "a tempest in a teapot" or rather in a porridge pot In an effort to induce the manufacturer ' of a well known food product to change the style of his advertising. It was contended by the publisher that extravagant claims were made as to the curative properties of this food which could not be substantiated. The claim that certain ailments can be cured by food is not so ex travagant as one might suppose. It all depends upon the disease and the foods. Of course everyone who pos sesses accurate scientific knowledge upon the -subject knows that real appendicitis can not be cured by any food. Appendicitis Is inflammation and ulceration of the vermiform ap pendix, which is a little "pocket" or tubular elongation of the caecum. The only cure for it is -the knife. It Is caused by the retention of undi gested food material in the bowel or alimentary tract, causing fermenta tion and finally Inflammation, which communicates itself to the vermiform appendix. But the prevention of appendicitis is another .uestion. Every doctor kn'ows that appendicitis can be pre vented, and that its, prevention is merely a question of eating the right kind of food. The way to avert appendicitis and its dangerous and sometimes fatal consequences is to eat a simple, nourishing food which will stimulate "peristalsis" (bowel exercise) without irritating the in testines,' and such a food is Shred ded Wheat. A daily ; dietary of Shredded Wheat insures a complete, natural and regular evacuation of the bowel, and when this occurs, appendicitis-Is impossible. Stimulating peristalsis, or nat ural bowel movement, however, is only one of the incidental virtues of Shredded Wheat. It contains all the muscle-bulldlng, bone-making, brain-making material In the whole wheat grain, made digestible by steam--cooklng, shredding and bak ing. Its porous shreds are quickly permeated by the digestive ilulds and hence are taken up and assimilated when the stomach rejects all other foods. It is the cleanest, purest, most nutritious food made in the world. It is delicious as a breakfast food with cream or milk, or can be used for any meal, in any season, in combination wltb fruits or creamed, vegetables. Your grocer sells it.
