Help Yourself 



To and with The Only 

 Natural Porous Food 

 Made From Wheat 



Qavena Galloway, White Water, Wis., writes: 



"We use Shredded Whole 

 Wheat Biscuit for break- 

 fast, as dessert for dinner, 

 toast for tea, and for chaf- 

 ing- dish luncheons in the 

 evening: and would not be 

 .without it." 



Split, toast and try it as bread. A delicious com- 

 bination with preserves and fruits. Makes ideal 

 fruit short-cake and tempting dishes when combined 

 with mushrooms, sweetbreads or vegetables. 



SHREDDED 

 wm BISCUIT 



Can Be Prepared In Over 2SO Different Ways 



It is a remarkable fact that no other food 

 takes the place of Shredded Wheat. This is 

 true because in it the complete requirements 

 of the body are found — the identical food coun- 

 terparts of the human organism — it's perfect 

 food affinity.

THE FADING OF PLATINOTYPES. 



The hitherto assumed absolute perma- 

 nency of platinotypes is being questioned, 

 and it is urged that even the most care- 

 fully prepared prints show discoloration in 

 less than 12 months. However, the platino- 

 type made with ordinary care is the most 

 permanent of photographic prints. It is 

 true that platinotypes, like prints made by 

 other processes, exhibit remarkable differ- 

 ences in respect to fading, and that some 

 will discolor in a few months, while others 

 are unaltered after many years. A case of 

 this kind happened to a professional pho- 

 tographer. He was suddenly faced with 

 discolored platinotypes, a thing he had not 

 before encountered during many years' ex- 

 perience. Investigation proved that it was 

 a question of mounts, since prints from the 

 same batch quickly discolored on one spe- 

 cial mount, and not on others. This is 

 often the cause of alleged fading with proc- 

 esses which, under ordinary conditions, are 

 undoubtedly permanent. — The Photographic 

 Chronicle. 



The handiest receptacle for stocking 

 quarter-plate negatives is a cigar box of the 

 kind in which hundreds are sold. A strip 

 of grooved card or paper glued along each 

 side will serve for slots to keep the plates 

 in position. Most of these boxes are the 

 correct size. — Exchange. 



Spokane, Wash. 

 The Peters Cartridge Co., 



Cincinnati, Ohio: 

 Gentlemen : — I note in May Recreation 

 your action in withdrawing your adver- 

 tisement therefrom on account of its pub- 

 lishing a communication reflecting on vour 

 ammunition. I am surprised that a house 

 of your standiing should take a position so 

 manifestly unfair. If advertisers are to 

 hold a club over editors, so that subscribers 

 can get only one side regarding the merits 

 of the articles they advertise, such maga- 

 zines would be useless to subscribers.. Any 

 old thing described in their advertising 

 pages would go, and the purchasers would 

 only learn by costly experience of their 

 defects. I would not take any magazine 

 that I thought was so controlled.

A little girl was heard talking to her 

 rabbit. 



"Five times 5,"" she said; 6 times 6; 

 7 times 7." Between times she shook: the 

 rabbit violently. 



"Dorothy," said her mother, "what are 

 you doing to your rabbit?" 



"Well, papa says," replied the child, "that 

 rabbits multiply rapidly and Bunny won't 

 do it." — Town Talk.
