CLASSIC "Some Boy, That Frenchman!" (Continued from page 77) Finally, I plunged desperately into the details furnished by the department. I repeated tlie story of the champion instructor's paying the boy's daily wages to Pere Carpentier, only to learn that there was some mistake, that the latter had always cooperated in the boy's training. Another good human interest touch switched onto a busy line. "y\sk him about his bride, Madame Carpentier," I pleaded. "How, when and where did he meet her? Was it a childhood or a wartime romance? Was she ?" But my "French in Twenty Lessons" was alread}' repeating my question. "He says he would rather not discuss his private life," was the answer. "No, no, gentlemen ; I appreciate the honor, but I really cant accept Mr. Carpentier's croix de guerre or his military medal. Yes, yes, I shall be delighted to drop in at the Carpentier Villa, Lens, France, for lunch some morning the Big Chief can spare me from the office."

THE MOVIE ENCYCLOPEDIA Elizaceth R,, \V.^SH.— You ask if Olga Petrova ever played on the screen with Richard Barthelmess. They both appeared in the opening scene of "A Dream of Fair Women," Tliat's all. Madame Petrova is expected back in pictures. We hope she comes back. Canadian Admirer. — Yon say you like the Classic better than the Magazine because we have had Blanche Sweet, Grace Cunard and Mabel Normand on the cover. You want Grace Cunard back in a serial. She is playing in a two-reel western. Remember how she could ride a horse? So you think Chaplin ought to change his make-up now. I dont know. Easter Walters was Hilda in "The Tiger's Trail." Rose S. Bremerton.— You are right, mv mistake. I stand corrected. Thanks for all the good things you say about me.

Children want them all day long, and there's nothing better for them. The supreme dish for luncheon or for supper is Puffed Wheat in milk. The airy grains — puffed to eight times normal size — taste like food confections. Yet every morsel is whole wheat with every food cell blasted. The finest foods ever created Puffed Wheat, Puffed Rice and Corn Puffs are the finest grain foods in existence. Never were cereals so enticing. The grains are fairy-like in texture, the flavor is like nuts. They seem like tidbits, made only to entice. Yet they are major foods, with every food cell steam-exploded, so digestion is easy and complete. They will take the place of pastries, sweets, etc., if you serve them all day long. And at meal-time they will make whole-grain foods tempting. Puffed Wheat Puffed Rice Com Puffs The Three Bubble Grains On ice cream Puffed Grains taste like airy nut-meats, and they melt into the cream. The dish is made doubly delightful. Puffed Grains are made by Prof. Anderson's process. A hundred million steam explosions occur in every kernel. They are the best-cooked grain foods in existence. Serve all three kinds, at all hours, in all the ways folks like them. The Quaker Qnts G>mpany Sole Makers 3407
