Brought Delos Brown and Martha Gilmore Together. - - By GEORGIA SEL;TER; - Never having had any love affairs of her own to occupy her time, Miss Martha Brown very naturally turned to those of others. And so it came about that scarcely a visit of Cupid had occurred in Plainville for years, that she did not bring about, assist in, or at- the very least, predict! : “Luella,” she called one: morning to the niece whom she had befriended in her orphaned youth, “come and see who this is moving into the -old Fleming cottage.” ) 3 Luella obligingly left her dishwashing and came to peer over her aunt’s shoulder. - . “Why, that,” she said, “must be Martha Gilmore. I heard yesterday she had bought the place of Delos Brown. I forgot to' tell yonu, Aunt Mariette,” apologetically. e , © “Quite a come-down, seems to me, for old Artemus Gilmore’s daughter,” observed Miss Mariette crisply. “I can remember when he mother didn’t care to' associate with Plainville folks.” : “Oh, but Martha isn’t that way a bit,, aunt,” said Luella loyally. “I feel real sorry to think she has had to give up her old home. And she has . her old Aunt Martha to care for, too.” » “Well, I can’t imagine ,what Delos Brown is thinking of to sell that cot- | tage—his mother’s old home! -1 supposed he had more feeling for her memory. I.shouldn’t think he would want to see anyone else living there.” Miss Mariette folded her hands as was her custom when sitting in judgment. ; ' “Why should he care?” ebjected Luella. “He never saw hig mother liv--ing at the cottage. It has stood empty “for years. I suppose it will seem pleasant to have neighbors.” . “And to such a brazen thing as| Martha Gilmore,” ~ pursued Miss Brown, not to be interrupted. Luella returned to her dishes without a word. : : “When Aunt Mariette has been crossed nothing seems to please her,” | \2117359 e \/ B ; i - \l7’ s 3s o, To * : WS v Wi @ PG %—.} O™ AN | AP AL gag Sl e % 7 -4 ‘’: : ; l,?\ //K .4‘ ‘_') AN S {5 Y Mg B AAUET ALY UM Ao S | : "'- VT S e p)] 20l é‘ b E) 12 oSNNI BN T gl e L 5.

Thought I might as well get it off my hands when I had a good chance. It' was no, use to me except what garden I worked.” g “Well,” said Aunt Mariette shortly, _“if you had taken the trouble to ask my oplgion before doing it, you would have saved a good many remarks!” Delos Brown started uncomfortably. His sensitive nature dreaded the sharpness of village gossip. Perhaps . that fact accounted for his remaining i single despite his many virtues. ! “Of course you must expect folks | to talk when a girl takes pains, to \ gettle under the very eaves of a desir- " able bachelor’s house. She is a brazen thing, but I wouldn’'t expect a man to see it!” e ; The old lady glanced sharply at the . little gate standing open in the line fence, and sniffed disapprovingly as she betook herself homeward. Martha Gilmore, standing amid the clutter of packing boxes in. the forlorn parlor, was trying desperately to keep her tears back. With a quick tap, Miss Brown entered. - “So, you’ve moved down town,” she “obgerved: “No, I can’t sit down,” she observed. “No, 1 can’t sit down, thank you. I just came in to see how you like it here. T must say it is sort of a difficult place forX a lone young * woman.” | Her eyes rested reflectively : upon her unconsclous nephew where. he worked in his: garden. o ) Martha’s cheeks flamed suddenly. “My aunt is always with me, Miss Brown,” she sald, coldly. : “If there is anything I can do for " you I hope you will feel at liberty to ask,” said Miss Marlette. “Everybody _has to have one sugh neighbor!” ~ Miss Mvariette;q‘zes soon told her that her scheme. had worked admirably. The little gate in the line feamp -was wired shut, and Martha never sat on the pleasant little south porch which faced Delos Brown’s. ' Martha Gilmore, with her broad hat tied low over her face, worked every day in the garden. o . “T've got to raise something for win‘ter, or we will have to have help from ‘the town,” she whispered over and ~ pver, when her back ached and her

head felt dizzy from her unaccustomed labor. - And her garde’n did grow surprisingly. Early one morning Martha went out to look at the plants which meaut so much to her.

- Heading his industrious flock among her- newly hoed rows was the strutting red rooster she had watched her neighbor place in his chicken yard a few days before. All about lay her tender young plants, torn and uprooted.” S . 2

| “Oh, go away,” cried Martha, helplessly, waving her apron. ; “Why, Miss Gilmore!” Delos Brown stood aghast at the havoc he had unwittingly wrought. *I supposed I had that park chicken-proof.” . ] After much excitement they coaxed and drove the flock back into their own territory. ' “And now you must let me help you repair the damages,” he declared, forgetting in her apparent distress . his fear of prying eyes and busy tongues. _To his astonishment, Delos found the girl very.quiet and attractive. She knew a lot about gardening, too, and seemed eager to learn more. “l declare,” he murmured on his lonely porch of an evening, “I declare I can’t see why she ig a brazen thing, as Aunt Mariette seems to think. I guess that:garden means a great deal to her—more than it ought to if things were comfortable over there.” He began thinking anxiously about the long winter. “The cottage needs repairing to make it livable. I could do it as well as not without much expense. And I'always have more wood from the farm than I can use. I hope she hasn’t heard any of Aunt Mariette’s foolish talk,” he thought. Through the dim twilight he could see Martha moving about the little lawn. : - ]

“Guess I'll go over, anyway,” he said aloud, since -Aunt Martha’s sharp eyes could not penetrate the darkness. :

“I—ll came to inquire about the garden,” he said, il at ease in her presence. There was something fine in Martha’s manner, even in that humble kitchen :garden.

“Oh, it is better than {t ever was before, thanks-to you, Mv, Brown. It is really fortunate for me that my neighbor’s chickens got into it!” “But I can never quite replace 18, ‘Miss Gilmore, and that is why I want to do something else for you to even things up a little. The cottage ‘needs repairing before cold weather. I can do it as well as not—in fact, I ought to- have done it before I let you have it at all.” "“Oh no!” cried Martha. “What .would Miss Brown say?”’ “So she has been talking to you?” groaned - Delos. “I might haveg known it. Oh, you poor little -girl!” ~ Martha ‘clasped her hands in the darkness at the tenderness in his voice. ' “I—did not mind,” she whispered with a sob. . “Not mind?’ He took her trembling hands in his own. To his joy she did not attempt to draw them away.

“Do you know, Martha,” he said very softly, “how a man feels about the girl he loves? He wants to pré: tect her from everything that is unpleasant or difficult. That is why I cannot endure your living in this poor little house and working yourself to death ‘in this garden. I am glad the red rooster destroyed it,. since he opened the gate in the line fence. Let us be married to-morrow, Martha. It is going to cause a sensation, and we may . as well have it all over with at once.- And I want you so much, dear.” s “It is pity,” she protested, hesitating. : “It 1s" not pity,” he denied, taking her in his arms. “It is love, Martha _ ~ o The sewing circle met ‘T Miss Brown’s parlors next afternoon. “Delos Brown and Martha Gilmore are married,” cried Luella, rushing in excitedly. ; L “Well,” said Aunt Mariette, composedly, after one mental .gasp, “I've said from the day she moved into the Fleming cottage that this is what would come of it!” Lo (Copyright, 1912, by Associated thera.r\y Press.)

Culture.

It has been said that the attainment of culture tends to allay the inflammation caused by daily routine. But true culture, that which is the result of the act of cultivation, does more. It so relates a man to his daily affairs\that no inflammation arises and he observes with no less amazement than joy that he gains as much culture from the lowliest task as from the most exalted ‘of which he is capable. When he realizes that mind and spirit are necessary, each to the other, he no longer regards his work as a laborer regards his toil. He becomes a creator; the world about hiin is the potter’s clay, while the world within is the fair model which inspires the hand as it lovingly guides the wheel. Every object that comes Intg being from him is a new and fairer whole and with its creation he gains a new and fairer power.—Thomas Tapper.

To All 1t Might Concern.

Old Uncle Ben’'s business carried him each night past a high-walled garden infested at this season of the year with bad boys and green apples. Naturally the bad former got to ambushing themselves in the branches and throwing the green latter at passersby. One evening an unusually firm Ben:' Davis of anonymous character caught the old darky behind the left ear. He rubbed the place a moment and peered wrathfully into the trees in a vain endeavor to see who did fit. Then he raised his voice so that all the world might hear, and said with deadly emphasis: “I don’ know who you is, an’ I don’ know where you is, but if I had a gun I'd shoot you!”

Few Wealthy Japanese.

A Japanese periodical has complet: ed a list of all the subjects of the mikado who may be reckoned among the wealthy, and it shows that only 1,018 Japanese possess a capital of $250,000 or more. Nevertheless, if the Japanese ,are, generally speaking, poor, it would seem that they are rapidly becoming rich, for less than ten vears ago there seem to have been only 441 who possessed a capital of a quarter of a million dollars.

T is the only story of hardship, adventure and danger in the search for treasure that Mr. George T. I Kenly of Baltimore can tell his friends when they induce him to

Mr. Kenly, who is a civil and mining engineer, recently returned from an arduous trip in the United States of Colombia, in South America, whither he went prospecting for the International Land Improvement company, which has offices in this city. He expects to leave again within two weeks to prosecute his rk further in the tropical ‘country. : : The Baltimoredn, 'with Mr. Louis F. de Montmorency, also an engineer, and with Luis, a native guide; and an indian boy, Patronina, traveled more than 1,000 miles on a round trip {nto the wilds of Colombia and out of them. The party found what it went after—gold, as well as other minerals, including coal, butt Mr. Kenly says there is as much wealth above ground. as under its surface.

He brought a bottle of gold with him; the other things, he could not bring, because when wealth is in the shape of giant mahogany trees six feet in" diameter they are a bit unhandy to carry.

© “I left Baltimore last July,” said Mr, Kenly, “and joined Mr. Montgomery in Panama. We ‘started our real exploration from Barranquilla, the heavy work beginning 300 miles from that town. Part of our journey lay on:a route that took us up the Magdalena and other rivers, and part of it was over the roughest mountain trails man ever encountered, where the jungle lay on each side of us as an impenetrable wall. a “Boatmen we hired to take us in their native canoes as we needed them, and one such journey was 200° miles long. For land service we hired packmen or porters, and upon one trip of forty miles we had, besides our original party of four, ten packmen and two oxen. To add to our difficulties Wegq’graveled in the rainy season when the water at times poured down in sheets for hours at a time. . “This forty miles consisted of only a cattle trail, and 200 cattle had gone over it only a few hours before. They go in single file, each planting his feet in the foot-steps of the one in front and into these deep slippery holes we had to walk, for there is not so much as six inches of foot-way beside the narrow trail. : s

“The canoes down there are dugouts, made by the natives, from the massive trees that fill the wilderness. They run anywhere from-ten feet long up to a great boat such as we used on 200 miles of our journey. This canoe was sixty feet long and four feet wide and had been worked out ‘of a monster mahogany log that was without a blemish. About twenty-five feet of the forward part of this boat was occupied by the four naked natives, who propelled it. They know nothing of rowing or paddling. The boats are poled along, and the skill and strength displayed in ascending a river against a current of five miles an hour is wonderful. -

How Craft Are Poled.

“One boatman goes to the bow and sticks his twenty-five-foot pole into the mud at the river bottom. Then, placing his shoulder to it, he walks back along the footway to its end, pushing the boat along. Each in turn goes forward for this poling, and at the end of the footway he pulls his pole from the mud, holds it aloft and, marches to the bow again, letting his companions pass under his arms and pole. s : “But to pole a boat the canoeist must keep near shore where it is not too deep and where, unfortunately, the jungle foliage overhangs. “Phis is where the pole ' often strikes the leaves and dislodges millions of mosquitoes, brings down a shower of vicfous ants,” frequently a snake and, worst of all, a species -of black wasp which is the most dreaded of all. Its sting is so strange and powerful that it seems to strike a man as if with a blow from a Jim Jeffries, and the

Confidential -‘Correspandence.

There are several ways in which two persons can correspond with each other unknown to even the pgrsons before whose eyes the very letter is held. For instance, new milk may be wused as ink. When dried this is invisible, but if coal dust or soot be scattered upon the paper the writing becomes legible. Diluted sulphuric acid, lemon juice, solution of nitrate and chloride of cobalt or of chloride of copper write colorless, but on being heated the characters written with the first two becdme black or brown, and the latter green. And ‘when the paper becomes cool the writing disappears, leaving the paper blank again. Two good invisible inks are made by saltpeter dissolved in water and equal parts of sulphate of copper and sal ammoniac dissolved in water~—Answers, : T

Use for Waste Milk.

A new and exceedingly profitable use has been discovered for the waste milk produced in such abundance by all creameries. There are places where this waste is used by the farmoty whe mell their cream to fatten

result is the same, the man goes down and out. All of us, including the béatmen, were scared enough when the snakes dropped in on us, but the reptiles seemed equally scared and scrambled out. | But when the wasps were seen .the natives scarcely breathed for fear of disturbing them. “In canoeing your way on these rivers througk a temperature in the sunlight of 140 degrees to 150 degrees there are no stopping places save where a shack can be seen on shore. There you are sure of a clearing and, by the way, a welcome. Always you put up for the night at-such a shack, and most of them are a day’s journey apart from one another. You cannot stop on the river bank because the jungle comes to the water's edge.

“The cancemen will not run at night if they can avoid it, because snags might overturn the boat and the im-

mense alligators that are in the waters in great numbers like nothing 8o much as company, - They have mno choice between dark and light meat. “But when you go to the friendly shack you c&n get some sort of a night’s rest, even though it will be found densely populated, too. We went to one shack, about twelve feet square, that contained twenty-two grown persons, including eighteen men and four women, ten children, fourteen dogs’'and a lot of hogs and chickens. These inhabitants were not hampered by furniture. All the human beings were eating out of one pot. “These, with our party, sfept in this place that night. A number of the natives and children scrambled up to a roost that had been made by placing bamboos across from side to side of the house at the eaves. Two of our own party had hammocks. We had alS 0 mosquito nets and blankets. ~ “The people in Colombia have no idea of time, distance or haste. At one place they thought I was an impatient man - because 1 kicked at a little steamer being four days late. Once fhe canoemen wanted to stop a day’s journey at 3 p. m. because the next shack was too far away. We tried to travel each morning at daybreak, but. couldn’t get the boatsmen to going until 7 or 8 o'clock. When we were caught on the river one inky night with the rain pouring down the wonderful instinct of the boatmen came out. One fellow lay in the bow and detected every snag ahead of us.

Venomous Snakes Abound.

“On .our land journeys small venomous snakes gave us most concern. Lying coiled up on the trail, only the sharp eyes of the natives could 'discern them. We had practically to shoot our path through them asg they were pointed out. . On one occasion two native blacks and the Indian boy passed a snake without seeing it. We saw but one boa constrictor, but were often near them, as we know by the peculiar odor they give off. These snakes grow thirty-five feet long and a foot thick. - “We saw hundreds of thousands of water fowls, including 'many food ducks. Birds 6f the most brilliant plumage about and there are parrots, macaws, cockatoos, and pink, white and black herons. ' Monkeys, deer, wild turkeys and wild pigs abound, and some of the monkeys are as big as a five-year-old child. These are esteemed as a great delicacy by the natives, and I killed two of them for our packmen.

“We saw tiger prints, which, from their great size and the evidences of the animal’s stride, indicated a beast twelve feet long. There was possibly a lively time in store for somebody, as the tiger had evidently been trailing the prints of a big black man’s bare foot. This was only a mile from a village wheré the night before the tiger got three hogs. . ‘““We found one native whom the tiger had visited two nights before. The man went around to his house to shoo the beast away. It ran around ahead of him, slipped into the door and the last the man saw of it it was scooting through the gloom with his child in its mouth. It was also the last he saw the child.”

pigs, but then again there are districts where the milk, thogoughly skimmed and watery in character, is allowed to run down the drains. It has been found, howevsr, that by mixing the milk with phosphate of lime a most efficient phosphate is produced. The phosphate of limie is placed in a hollow heap on the floor, the waste milk is run into the hollow and a handful of yeast is added. In the course of time the whole .is turned and thoroughly mixed after.the fashion of mortar. After it has dried and is broken up it is a most excellent fertiliZzer, contaning about 72.30 per cent, of phosphate and a little more than one per cent of nitrogen.—Chicago Tribune.

Woman'’s Concoctions.

“When a woman prepares refreshments for a party,” said a cynical person, “she takes the inside out of something and puts in it the inside of something else.. Then she pours a yellow mixture over the result and its success depends upon the difficulty the guests have in telling what it was before she began fooling ' with itv” 3 ; % %

As a matter of faest, however, a full rimng of peals has never been rung in America but once—in: Philadelphia in 1858—and a quarter peal only. has been rung from the old Christ church tower in Salem street, and from the belfry of the Church of the Advent. These two churches are the only ones in Boston possessing -a full- set of change-ringing bells, as they are called, and these are from English foundries.

. The full number of peals is 5,040, and when rung for evening service at the old church of Paul Revere fame in Salem street and from the Advent turrets, the neighbors in the districts; who were not antiquarian: in their tastes, after two hours of “pealing,” sent vehement protests to the sextons of these respective houses of worship that they must stop the noise, for they could not get the children to bed and the vibrations were threatening, to break their windows. Such was the popular feeling in regard to resuscitating a custom that still obtains in EngEnd and on the continent.—Bosten erald.

“PIRATE” HALTED BY LAW

Sails Forth With Comrade and Pilfered Provisions, but Unromantic Father Interferes. -

. Centreport, L. IL.—The crime of attempted piracy on the high seas led Owen Dennis, twelve years old, commodore of a fleet of three “long, rakish craft’—commonly called rowboats, —to be taken before Justice Laundes here recently. Willilam Dennis, prosperous resident of this township; was complalnant ‘against his son. The elder Dennis evidently regards piracy as a profession behind the times and wholly unsuitable to his son. Hence the persistency of the youthful Captain Kidd in salling that portion of the Spanish Main lying in Huntington bay is :highly-displeasing to him. In the unromantic.eyes of the law young Dennis is charged with juvenile delinguency, and with being an incorrigible. 'He confessed his chief aim in life is to lead a career of piratical adventure. With the Jolly Roger, theoretically speaking, flying from the masthead of his flagship, Commodore Dennis and Master Jacob Wheeler, another pirate of tender years, set out in the troubled waters of the bay on Monday last. One of them sat at the oars of the swift vessel, the ' other ‘rowed the second. A third craft, laden with provisions- pilfered from the youngsters’ respective homes, was at the‘end of a towline. | No definite plan of campaign had been formulated, Dennis confessed. They simple meant to cruise about until, with cutlass and dirk—or their jackknives—they could board some peaceful merchantman and force her crew to walk the well-known and justly famous plank. No such ship, however, crossed their path, and on Tuesday night, thelr provisions gone, they found themselves back home. On Thursday, however, Owen again dashed forth in pursuit of the rover’s will-o’-the-wisp, with the result he faced the law. He will he examined further next week, and may be sent to a re formatory. e

Wreaths on a Dog's Coffin.

Paris, France.—M. Aubert, a chem. ist in the Rue de Canon at Toulon, closed his shop on the occasion of the funeral of his Newfoundland dog. A notice affixed to the door stated that business was suspended for the day “on account of the death of Phoebus, killed by a brute.” The coffin was covered by eight beautiful white wreaths with sympathetic inseriptions. The hearse was drawn by two white horses and M. Aubert sat beside the driver. The interment took place on some private property M. Aubert owns near the city gates and was attended by many of his friends, speeches eulogistic of the dog (famous for many lifesaving exploits in the harbor) being delivered over the grae. M. Aubert says the dog was poisoned and has appealed to the polico to find the guilty party. 5 Wl

A great many women have killed themselves trying to keep a large house looking nice enough to satisfy their women friends, but women are learn--ing wisdom and are becoming content with smaller houses, houses that provide just room enough for their families and one or two occasional guests. Sometimes families need a house.with four or five bedrooms, then a plan like this seems to fit in just right. ~ Looking at the perspective it will ;be noticed that this house tones up ’ with the best of them. ‘lt is the kind of ‘building that satisfies a person’s }pride and every one should have pride enough to appreciate a “good § home and feel satisfied with it. - The mere fact of having a large ' house won’'t satisfy anybody. There ' must be more to a home than the ' building, but a family of from six to )ten persons should be able to estab. !lfsh a very satisfactory home in a house like’ this. ’ K

The building is thirty feet in width by thirty-seven feet six inches in length and the porch is extra, a size sufficient to lay out nicely into large pleasant rooms, with convenient hallways, stairways, etc.. It is impossible to get nine or ten good and sufficient rooms in a house much smaller. If you try it you will surely spoil something. _ : For a great many years- architects have been trying to arrange.a satis-

It is very unsatisfactory to have sewing going on in one of the living rooms. It seems to interfere with the proper working of the whole house, ‘but having a room like this, large and airy, the work may be carried on to advantage by having the proper materials, tables, sewing machine and other tools all together in the workghop. ' A woman can sit in a bay window like this and sew and drop the work at a moment’s notice to be taken up at some other time without. the necessity of putting every little piece away. The door may be shut and locked if necessary, so she knows nothing will be disturbed. : * A house as large as this should have both front and back stairs. The back stair arrangement in this House is especially good, as it leads directly ‘from the cellar to the attic with an easy entrance from the kitchen and a grade entrance from the side of the house. It makes the third entrance, but they are all needed in such a house, you may be sure each one will be used frequently.

The side porch opening from the kitchen is another pleasant feature. A good deal of kitchen work may be done on a’ porch -of this kind in the summer® time, especially if it is shaded ' with a good climbing vine such as the Virginia creeper, some of the night shades, or a Dutchman’s pipe vine. ‘The pantry is big enough for a store-room, another feature that will be appreciated by a woman who is obliged to keep house for a large family. ) P : A feature of this house that looks well outside and is appreclated inside is the manner of building the ‘exteng %"- o CLosp i { bt P Creanrne m = LT n LTy E ceos fcucazr f— S W g o > ’ P e e 11l & g : g \ : N = croscrfcicox T ' [‘ L ) 7 i Secphd Floor Plan. sion window seats.

The seats are usually fitted with cushions having attractive covers of bright colors. i : ! : N A little ingenuity will s'make such a seat very comfortable .and the light is s 0 good that they are “preferred for reading and the childyen like such places for studying. It requires a little care to arrange them to look well and at the same time have them serviceable so that you do not feel nervous when the children appropriate them to their own purposes, especially the

window .seat in the dining room. It is pot necessary that children should use the front room for their play. They can enjoy themselves better in some of the other rooms and annoy the mother much less.

Gen. Dabney H.. Maury of the Con federate army used to tell a story about his faithful negro boy, Jim, the son of his old mammy, whom he took with him to the war. The general was not a large man, except in the traits which make great men and great soldiers. )

After the Batile: of Corinth, where he was promotkd to the rank of major general on the battlefield, he came into his tent and called his servant. “Jim,” he said, “when you make up my cot, tuck those blankets well -in at the foot. My feeét stick out all night.” Looking up at him with an amused look, Jim said, “Marse Dabney, you ain’t growed none, is ‘you, since you got promoted yisterday?” — Lippincott’s Magazine. . ' k!

Dolls Stuffed With Fortunes.

The Bank of France destroys old notes by placing them in a vat and subjecting them-to the action of certain ‘corrosive acids. In a few moments the banknotes are reduced to pulp. This pulp is sold to toy makers, who use it for stuffing their less expensive dolls, so that the plaything of a child may be stuffed with what was once a fortune.

Lawyer Probably Was Willing to Pay More Than $lO Under the Circumstances. > <

A noted lawyer of Tennessee, who labored under the defects of having a high temper and of being deaf, walked into a court room presided over by a younger man, of whom the older practitioner had a small opinfon. :

Presently, in the hearing of a "motion, there .was a clash between the lawyer and the judge. The judge ordered the lawyer to sit down, and as the lawyer, being deaf, didn't hear him and went on talking, the judge fined him $lO for contempt. The lawyer leaned toward the clerk and cupped his hand behind his ear. “What did he say?” he inquired. ““He fined you $10,” explained the clerk.” . .

. “For what?” . . “For contempt of this court,” said the clerk. . The lawyer shot a poisonous look toward the bench and reached a hand into his pocket. . “T'll pay it,” he said. “It’s a just debt.”—Saturday Evening Post. -

CAREFUL DOCTOR Prescribed Change of Food Instead of - -Drugs.

It takes considerable courage for a doctor to deliberately prescribe only food for a despairing patient, instead of resorting to the usual list of medicines. :

There are some truly scientific phygicians among the present generation who recognize and treat conditions as they ‘are and should be treated, regardless of the value to their pockets, Here’s an instance: : “Four years ago I was taken with severe gastritis and nothing:© would stay on my stomach, so that I was on the verge of starvation. : ' "“I hedrd of a doctor who had a summer ‘cottage near me—a specialist from N. Y.—and as a last hope, sent for him. : : £

“After he examined me carefully he advised me to try a small quantityof Grape-Nuts at first, then as my stomach became stronger to eat more. “I képt at it and gradually got so I could eat and digest three teaspoonfuls. Then I begah to have color in my face, memory became clear, where before everything seemed a blank. My limbs got stronger and I could walk. Bo I steadily recovered. “Now after & year on Grape-Nuts I weigh 153 Ibs. My people were surprised at the way I grew fleshy and strong on this food.” Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich.
