These Strange
Guns of Peace
explode wheat and rice
Giving Puffed Wheat and,
Puffed Rice the rich nourish-
ment of hot cooked cereals
,t LAVORY ! Crunchy ! Meltingly good to
eat. That's Puffed Wheat and Puffed Rice
Grains "grains shot from guns" !'
Choice, plump grains of wheat { and rice are
actually sealed in shining bronze guns. Then the
guns are revolved in fiery ovens to develop all
the naturalrich grain flavor. When the guns ate
hred,125 million explosions occur in every grain.
This breaks open every one of the millions of
tiny food cells. The grains become as completely
digestible as though they had been cooked for
hours. That's why, Puffed Wheat and. Puffed
Rice are rated "virtually as nourishing as hot
cooked cereals," eas+ iR :*>.k16,40 ,
And these dainty nuggets of nourishment have
all the rich flavor of new nut -meats. All the
buttery crispness of fresh toast. You never
tasted grain foods in a more enticing form.
Serve with fruit and cream for breakfast. As an
easily digestible luncheon dish for children. Crisp
in butter to make a delicious new kifid of
popcorn. Order Puffed Wheat and Puffed
Rice from your grocer today. The Quaker

Many of these are simply hardened
mud which has been deposited year
after year and century after century.
We know that the earth is increas-
ing in size, for to find the cities of
the past we have to dig away the
covering fiat the centuries have piac-
ed'over them. The rate at which the.
covering layers have been deposited
is easily calculated. In many places,
too, rocks in the making are to be
found; and it is rossibie to work out
from observation just how rapidly
they grow. The -rocks themselves
show us that the earth must' be more
than two thoueand million years old.
One of the most remarkable dis-
coveries of recent years is the radio
active metal, uranium, which grad-
;ually changes into lead. The rate at
which this process is carried out is
well known, and it is invariable. 13y
taking rocks which contain both ur-
anium and lead and finding the pro-
portion of each metal now existing
in them, the.length of time necessary
to bring about the present state of
affairs is not difficult to calculate.
Such a calculation shows that the
earth must have been solid not far
short of two thousand million years
ago.
T]ie paths of the earth round the
sun and the moon round the earth
are not what they were originally.
Science can reconstruct them and dis-
cover the time needed to give them
their present Shapes.
Ail of these methods show that the
