.Builders of the
a
Big. Ditch"
There has just been issued by the Historical Publishing Company of
Washington, D. 0., a magnificent illustrated history of the construction and
builders of the Panama Canal. The edilor of this great history is Mr. Ira
E. Bennett, with associate editors, John Hays Hammond, celebrated mining
engineer; Capt. Philip Andrews, U. S. N.; Rupert Blue, Surg. Gen. U. S. Pub
lic Health Service; J. Hampton Moore, Pres. Atlantic Deeper . Waterways
Ass'n; Patrick Lennox, B. A., and William J. Showalter.
One of the most interesting portions of the book is that rlo'aling with the feeding
of the immense army of laborers. -A few paragraphs concerning one of the footis
chosen and supplied by the Commissary Department, are quoted (beginning page
428) as follows:
"Visitors to the canal who were privi
leged to get a glimpse of the routine Inner
life will recall a familiar picture of work
men going to their places of labor carrying
round yellow Una.
"Often, as they went, they munched a
'food poured from the tin into the hand.
This food, which played ao Inconsiderable
part in 'building' the canal, was the well
known article of diet, 'GRAPE-NUTS.'
"The mention of O rape-Nuts In this
connection is peculiarly pertinent. Not
merely because Grape-Nuts is a food
for of course proper food waa an Integral
part of the big enterprise but because
it Is a cereal (food which successfully with
stood the effects of a tropical climate.
This characteristic of Grape-Nuts was
pretty well known and constituted a
cogent reason for Its selection for use In
the Canal Zotre.
"This food Is so thoroughly baked that
it keeps almost Indefinitely in any climate,
as has been demonstrated again and again.
"One finds Grape-Nuts on transoceanlo
steamships, In the Islands of the seas, In
Alaska, South America, Japan, along the
China coast In Manila, Australia South
Africa, and on highways of travel and tha
byways of the Jungle In short, wherever
minimum of bulk and maximum of nour
ishment are requisite In food which has to
be transported long distances, and often
under extreme difficulties.
"The very enviable reputation which
Grape-Nuts has attained in these respects
caused it to be chosen as one of the foods
for the Canal Zone."

fecientificnlly mado of prime wheat and malted barley, contains the entire goodness
of the grain, including those priceless mineral elements o essential for active bodies
and keen brains, but which are lacking in white- flour products and the usual dietary.
There's a reason why Grape-Nuts food was chosen by the Canal Commissariat
There's a renson why Grape-Nuts is a favorite food of hustling people everywhere!

Which Way Will
Heart Turn?
er
If "absence makes the heart grow fonderf' Elaine. must be sorely afflicted
in the loss of her Craig Kennedy. I5ut if "out of sight is out of mind," how
can Elaine resist the wooing of Marcius del Mar, the handsome, eloquent gen
tleman who has offered himself as protector?
Will Elaine keep steadfast to her
trust and will we at last find her Mrs.
Kennedy the two fond souls com
muning of a winter's evening in the
romantic corner-seat by the fire
place? Or will we come upon such
a scene as our artist depicts where
Elaine is surprised with a new love
and Craig Kennedy, the old flame, is
repulsed? I
No one can say. Women's hearts
may be true as steel. They may be
as loyal as a blind wife. But pro
pinquity, the nearness of two beings,
is dangerous. Put a man and woman
together in the same, room, day after
day in constant contact, and how
ever formal and constrained they be;
however sexless and businesslike be
their conversation, there must be a
gradual blending of souls, and the
two are destined to love or hate.
There can be no half way measure.
They must be enemies or lovers.
They must be direfully opposed and
every moment must be dreadful, or
they must be bound together every
moment a delight.
And yet, Elaine is even now fight
ing for Craig Kennedy and 3mt
