be placed on the engines that pull the

preliminary to a revision of the system
of examining trainmen for defects or
sight and may result in a change in the
present manner of displaying lights and
semaphore arms The brotherhood of
locomotive engineers is responsible for
the proposed unique test The road
men have complained that their eyes are
tested theoretically rather than along
practical lines

The BEE HIVE Neb
The
science
of Eating
To use a comparison
wheat does not have the
vegetable glues the same
as the coarser grains of
corn and oats Instead
it is rich in phosphates of
lime iron and sodium
Wheat absorbs more
moisture in cooking and
is therefore more
delicate and better suited
as a food for children
Wheat is properly
prepared for food as
California Wheatose
Flaked wheat food for breakfast
All good grocers
