festively decorated and noticed a
large transparent board, bearing the
inscription, "Welcome, Your Ma-

is the town prison," was the answer.
Whereupon his majesty, laughing,
said: "That is rather too much po-
liteness."

Where the Fooda Come From.
"I.ook here, waiter, honest now,
don't you dip every one of these flaked
breakfast foods out of the same box?"
"Well, yes, boss, we dui. all 'cept
Grape-Nuts, cause that don't .look like
the others and people know zackly
what Grape Nuts looks like. Hut
there's 'bout a dozen different ones
named on the bill of faro and they are
ull thin rolled Aakes so It dou't make
any difference which one a man calls
for. we Just take out the order from
one box."
This talk led to sn investigation.

of breakfast foods, seeking to take the
business of the original prepared
.breakfast food—Grape Nuts. These
concerns after a precarious existence,
nearly all failed, leaving thousands ol
boxes of their foods In mills and ware-
houses. These were In several In-
stances bought up for a song by spes
ulators and sold out to grocers ant
hotels for little or nothing The proc-
ess of working off this old stock has
been slow. One will see the names
on menus of Aaked foods that went
out of business a year and a half or
two years ago. In a few cases where
the abandoned factories have been
bought up. there Is an effort to reuua-

But the public haa been educated to
the fact that all these thin flaked
foods are simply soaked wheat or oats
