HISTORY IS SILENT TRADITION HAS MANY VERSIONS PLOWED STREETS IS CHARGE A The whole wheat grain is without doubt the most perfect food given to man, But you don't want to eat raw wheat it would be imperfectly digested if you did eat it. Whole wheat bread made of so-called "whole wheat flour" is not much better. AH the nutritive elements in the whole wheat grain are supplied in a digestible form in Charging that the defendant has plowed up sections of Amherst avenue, Bedford street, Cambridge street and Riversida boulevard and proposes to use them for farmig purposes, Mary Disque of Marlborough avenue, Flrwood petitioned the coi for an injunction Philadelphia, July myptery of the old bell rinser is the most fascinating of the myths which ha-e besn revived by the trip of the-Liberty Bell to San Francisco. Who was the old man who rang the bell when it first pealed forfh In celebration of the Declaration of Independence? It is conceded that, the story of the boy dashing into the street.

cn July 4th, 1776, calling to the old caretaker in the belfry, "Ring, ring! They've signed it!" is fiction pure and simple, Wilfred Jordan, custodian of the museum in Independence Hall, and an authority on the history of the, Liberty Bell, declares there is no record of such an event. The first authenticated ringing, after the signing of the Declaration of Independence was on July 8, when it called the citizens of Philadelphia together to hear the document read, "Andrew McNatr, doorkeeper at the time, may have been the first bell ringer, but this has not been established," says Custodian Jordan. A story for which history will not vouch is that when the news of the surrender of Cornwallla reached Philadelphia, "the old bell ringer died of joy." The history of the Philadelphia Pine street churrt jtaJnsJhL. riame pf "William Hurryrbettman of the old state house." And on the. ancient stone in the graveyard where Hurry lies burled are the words "who departed this life October 22, 1781." That day the news of the surrender of Cornwallis reached Philadelphia.

William Hurry really the old bell ringer who rang in the new year of American freedom on the day that the Declaration of Independence was approved, and did he really die of Joy on hearing that the long war with England was over at last? against J. Chester Fraley. A prelimi nary ord'er. was tnadft and held Jtx4-for-July 12. The plaintiff is represented by Attorney B.

Davis and sets forth that the land was plotted and streets laid out for use as public highways, and that Mr. Fialey has now plowed and, planted the highways for farming purposes, interfering with the plainufTs use. and enjoytocnof the streets.

It supplies all the body-building elements of the whole wheat in a digestible form. It is the shredding process that put the "Eat' in Shredded Wheat.
