but we leave
Tut we have cenficcntc in the Z-tacrican public, and especially in the hpusewife.
We believe &HE will appreciate the stop we are taking in PLAINLY marking a guar-
anteed quality cn each sack of Z.T-I'ERICAN MAID FLOUB. A designation of quality
that is not general, but SPECIFIC. Every MILLER of fiour KNOWS that ”65%
Short Patent” is the highert possible point of refinement of quality in flour. Our prob-
lem is to EXPLAIN what ‘‘65% Shcrt Patent” means in a manner easily understood
by the housewife—the flour user. This we wiil endeavor to do in a series of adver-
tisements. : .
Briefly, ”65%;. f fiert Patent” means that ONLY this, percentage of the .flour con-
tent of the wheat is used in AlflEBICAN MAID. The other 35% goes into inferior
grades, feeds, etc.
C3% is the FINEST that can be produced. That’s what you get in ‘ ‘ AMERICAN
Lf./. ID”:—it’s marked on the sack.
la order to secure the expressions of the housewife on
our policy of “grade marking” the flour, we offer ONE
THOUSAND (§1,000.00) DOLLARS in cash prizes for
the best letters on this subject.

Flour mills and flour distributors have told us that the plan of '-‘grade
marking” fiour was revolutionary—that it was a ‘‘dangerous proposition
to undertake,” etc. We appreciate the difficulties of putting, it over:
we know we will nave to maintain the high quality- MARKED on each
sack of AMERICAN MAID FLOUR—and will probably have to do so in
competition with so-called “Just as flood” brards—-brands that will not
have to match American Maid quality, because no DEFINITE pledge of
grade or quality is PRINTED on the Lag.

Sailor Drinks Meals;

won’t mean a thing in the life
of Mess Boy O'Brien for a long
time to come.
For after he sailed from the
harbor for New York on the
tanker Watertown he discov-
ered the loss of his false teeth.
A plaintive SOS was sent
by O’Brien asking police to find
his missing molars, put ashore
with his sea bag by mistake
just before the tanker sailed,
'and express them to New York.
Now. minus tns trusty uppers,
the disconsolate mess boy sails
tb.e seas dreaming of rhe teeth
he left behind him.

« third of a million board feet of lum-

Age and Dirt
Two tourists were watching a
swarm of bootblacks bathing in the
pool beneath the statue of Civic Virtue
In City Wall park, There notice was
attracted by one urchin, who seemed
to be smaller, noisier and more active
than all the rest. Said one of the
visitors:
“How old do you suppose that kid
is?”
“He can’t be more than eight,” said
the other.
“Oh. but be must be,” countered the
first. “He couldn’t have got that
dirty in eight years.”
Far From Home
Speaking of night clubs, a funny
thing happened the other night in one
■of the few cabarets remaining open
during the hot weather. The tele-
phone rang, and a former habitue of
the establishment said:
“Hello. This is Jack.
Hollywood.”
The proprietor, who had answered
the call, replied:
"Well, whom did you want to talk
■.to.”
■“Anybody,” said Jack. “I’m lone-
.WHM.”

Seven Wcnd«ra
There has been considerable diS-
^•ussion recently as to what are the
weven wonders of New York city.
You may have read that an inquiry re-
sulted in the following popular fist*
"wonders”: the water supply sys-
tem, the Woolworth building, the sub-
way, the Metropolitan museum, Brook-
lyn bridge, the sky line and Grand
Central terminal. But in a list that
an outside newspaper offers, I find
the following:
Ticket speculators, organized ban-
8!tti, who limit theater audiences to
willionaires and traveling men with
^expense accounts.
Here is a tip for those visitors to
New York who may have suffered un-
necessarily from the ticket speculator:
There are cut-rate agencies in the city
-where tickets can be bought at half-
price for at least 50 per cent of the
shows that are running. The half-
price rate does not apply to the few
outstanding hits, of course, but there
®re always good shows in the list. If
the casual visitor to New York will
bunt up a cut-rate agency, he will be
surprised at the good entertainment
which will be provided at a. price that
wiW seem ridiculously low when com-
pared to the box-office schedule.

Should Have Used More
—or Less—Observation
With all due respect to their sex.
women are touchy, and it behooves all
men—especially married men—to use
considerable tact and diplomacy in
dealing with them. The following in-
cident supplies its own moral:

! oE NEW YORK |
Publicity Sense
New York.—Mayor James J. Walk-
er’s office carries with it a great deal
of newspaper attention. The mayor's
judgment on what is a good newspa-
per story is unerring. Recently he
made a long speech accepting the pe
tition of "()') citizens that he run
•again for mayor. It had long been
a foregone conclusion that he would
run, but for this occasion everyone
pretended io be unaware of his in-
dention. The mayor spoke at great
length, reviewing the accomplishments
of his administration. And then, in
answer to the petition, he said:
“Who could say no?”
Immediately afterward, in his pri-
vate chambers, Mayor Walker shook
?»ls bead dubiously. “‘Who could say
no?’ ” he repeated. “I
never live that down.”
He was right. Before the week had
ended, vaudeville actors were getting
big laughs from that line, dozens <>f
newspaper editorials had been written
on the topic, and columnists were hav-
ing a field day with it
Mayor Walker’s newspaper sense l«
without doubt highly trained. The
question is, did he plan that line, or
didn’t he realize its possibilities until
after it was spoken?
night.” Hampden unguardedly men-
tion'd the gown worn by a certain
woim n and expressed his keen ap-
preciate)! of it. Mrs. Hampden was
quiet for a v. !='>. Then the blow fell.
“Did you like n y anwn?” Jhe asked
sweetly.
‘‘It was awfully becoming,”
swered hubby.
“Which one did I wear?” slie c<n*’t
tered with a trace of coolness in her I
voice.
Hampden was stumped. He eould
not recall just which of her gowns
she had worn.
He’ll use a little more diplomacy—
and observation—the next time.—New
York Sun.
