to the coffee drinker. Coffee drink
ing is habit that is universally in
dulged in and almost as universally
injurious. Have you tried Graln-O!
It is almost like coffee hut the effects
are just tie opposite. Coffee upscts
the stomach, ruins the digestion,
effects the heart and disturbs the
whole nervous system. Grain o
tones up the stomach, aids digestion
and strengthens the nerves. There
is nothing but nourishment in Grain

called Grain-O. It is delicious, ap.
petizing, nourishing food drink to
take the place of coffee. Sold by all
grocers and liked by all who have
used it because when properly pre-.
pared it tastes like the finest coffee
but is free from all its injurious
properties. Grain O aids digestion
and strengthens the nerves. It is
not q stlmulant but health builder.
and children, as well as adults, can
drink it with great benefit. Costs
about I as much as coffee.

FIRST SOLID-HEADED PINS.
A History of Their Invention by
Sarnuel SIocum of Rhode Island.

William Stanton Slocum of Boston
says that the first solid-headed pin made,
either in Europe or America, was made
by Samuel Slocum, who was born in
Richmond, r. L., in 1892, and died in
Pawtucket in 1861. In 1880, W. :. Slo-
cum says. Samuel Slocum was in the
Isle Of Wight. and there invented a ma
chine to make board nails, which up TO
that time were made by hand. The idea
came TO him that pins, which then were
made by winding fine wire on the head
and fastening il to the post of the pin,
might be made in an improved manner
on a principle similar to that Of his nail
making machine. II took him some time
to develop and perfect this idea. and
finally he shut himself in a room and re-
manned there for eight days. seeing no
one and having his meals passed in to
him. at the expiration of which period he
was able to proclaim his task completed
That was in 1881. The invention passed
finally to the concern now known as the
American Pin company, for which MIR.
Slocum also invented, subsequently,
machine to set the pins in paper.
