for these three years tile attacks re-

three-fourths of o bottle OF Pe-ru-na,

for months. I have been entirely free
from catarrh this autumn with tho ex

Pe-ru-na is specific for hoy fever,
and should be taken during tho whole
season of the exposure to the cause; for.
as long as the exciting cause remains,
no cure can be permanent. People who
are unable to change their location dur
ing the season Of hay fever will find in
Po-ru-na q priceless benefit to them, as 1T
meets every disagreeable symptom ex-
actly. 1t is always advisable TO begin
the use of Fortuna aweek.or two before
the expected attack of hay fever in old
cases, where the attack can be foretold,
as this will often prevent entirely the
return of the disease. Address DIR. Hart

A GROUER's INTEREST Is 10 FUR.
NISH PURE FOOD.

People do not always realize the per-
eonal interest that first class grocer
takes In the articles OF food which he fur
nishes customers,
Some people bel ieye that the grocer is
influenced only by the profit he mny
derive, and that his recommendations are
governed entirely by a mercenary motive,
but this is not always true. On the con-
trary, 1t is believed that n majority OF
the better class of erooerE are thoroughly
honest in their desire 10 furnish their
patrons with really pure and nourishing
food.
The following from Jno. Wallgren, a
prominent grocer of Portland, Oregon.

weak stomach for five years. 1 have
tried number of remedies and patent
medicines without help. I am eating
Grape-Nuts three times a day and after
using three packages must admit that
am relieved of my weak stomach and

There is reason for this. A weak
stomach can take Graps-Nuts ana digest
them without difficulty, or Grape-Nuts
are actually pre-digosted and ready for
immediate transformation into rich blood
and good strong tissue, both OF muscle
and brain. They are generally admitted
to be the most scientifically made food
in the world, in which the starch of the
cereals 10 TRANSFORMED into grape sugar
and this is done without the use Of any
sort of drug or acid whatsoever. On the
contrary, all of the processes are purely
mechanical using simply moisture time
Tin which to grow the diastase) and heat,
but the work of the human system is
copied exactly, with the result that the
food is ready for immediate assimilation,
The flavor is exquisite and delicate, the
sweet of grape sugar can be detected.
The food Is absolutely freq from cane OF
beet sugar, but tho fine, almost micro.
scopic, particles of grape sugar can be
seen giistening on the surface of ths
small granules. Grape-Nuts with cream
furnishes the most delicious breakfast
food in existence, aud this food Is in use
now by practically oil of the well-to-de
families in America. The demand has
besn so great that the factory has been
running steadily both night and day fol-
upwards Of year, and the fame OF the
American breakfast has spread to MANY

To produce the single plate which
Is here employed it is necessary to
conduct three printing operations.
First, 2,000line grating is laid upon
the sensitive film, and then the posi-.
tive obtained from the red rays in the
three-screen process Is placed on top
of the grating. Light is allowed to
shine through the two upon the film.
Thus fine lines Of this particular rate
of frequency are registered upon the
film wherever there are transparent
patches in the positive. Such transpar.
ent spots occur only where there were
reds in the original scene. This posi-
tive and the 2,000-line grating having
been removed, the 2,4O0-line grating
and the positive made with green rays
are substituted. Wherever there were
green's in the original scene, lines that
run 2,I90 to the inch are now printed
On the film. Finally the 2, 15Q-line graft
ing and the positive obtained with
blue rays are brought into requisition
and transfer to the film the ruling pe-
cullar to this hue.
The printing operation is very deli
cate one. 1t is necessary that the three
positives shall each occupy the same
position, and not be hundredth of an
inch out Of the way. Upon accuracy
in this adjustment depends the success
of to experiment. But after a pic

ture has at last been made by this
method on one plate, 1t can easily be
copied any number Of times.
In order to give rude idea of the
appearance Of one Of his pictures, Pro-
fessor Wood ASSUMES that he has pho
tographed red tulip with green
leaves in a blue jar. Each of the
hues will be represented on the film
by lines of a different spacing from
that Of the others. To examine such
n picture, one takes large lens or
reading glass, trims it off square, sets
it upright in light frame like that
of an old-fashioned stereoscope, and
looks through hole in a black screen
fifteen inches or 50 away. The pic
ture itself is held between this device
and the light for examination. Thus
far it has not been found practicable
to magnify these pictures much; but
they will stand some enlargement by
magic lantern.
The preliminary work in making
pictures by Woods system calls for
much skill, especially in completing
the first print. But in the ease with
which duplicates can be secured, and
in some other respects, the plan is
likely to prove an Improvement on all
of the other schemes with which ex-
perts in color photography are at pres
ent familiar. ..i

Goes to Bed With His Clothes On.
Lot me introduce you to a Dutch
farmhouse 10 the Transvaal as l saw
1t one fine afternoon not long ago. 1t
was situated some miles from any
town or village; the typical Boer does
not desire any near neighbors. The
way to 1t lay over the high veldt,
along vast plains, with here and there
a range Of bills presenting the appear.
apce OF huge pudding molds turned
upside down, only slightly more
rugged Of surface but scarcely less
bare. The road (by courtesy so
called led over small heaps Of stone
and reddish sand, varied by deep ruts
and siuices, the beds of dried-up rivers
and now and then gliding gradually
into the burnt.up pasture land, over
tufts Of struggling, unwholesome-look.
tuk grasa, There were no hedges, no
fences, no walls. Our vehicles was
kind Of buggy, hybrid between a
Cape cart and an old-fashioned gig.
Winding around the base of one Of
the big pudding basins we came upon
q little valley, in which two or three
green trees Of the willow species
showed the presence Of water, and
soon aftefward arrived at the house.
II was a low building Of stone, with
corrugated iron roof; along the front
ran tie atoop, which is q raised cause

laid one upon another and covered
with earth beaten down hard.
The Lounsins Place.
This is a place whereon the Boer
loves to lounge, smoking his eternal
pipe, and ruminatlhg, when he is not
leying down the law with regard to
Kooiheks (Englishmen) or Outlanders
generally. At the back were two little
paddocks inclosed by stone walls
loosely put together, and a cattle

AFTERNOON sun, winking their long ears
In futile attempts to scare the flies
which were exploring every portion Of

and we were ushered In by the back
entrance through the kitchen.
The distinguishing feature of this
apartment, after the general squalor
of the whole, was a stout cord
stretched across one end, with strips
Of meat hanging over and tied to it;
this was the greater part of sheep,
which l afterwards understood was
killed the day before. The practice
10 to cut 1t all Up without any appar-
ent regard to toints, In various shapes
and sizes, and to hang it In the air, or
often In the sun, to dry; this consti-
tutes the biltong which they use on
their Journeys, or in war time, and
which is said to be most nourishing
and sustaining food.

cYANIDE'S ATTRACTION.

Proudest Triumph Is to Initiate Nat.
uraI-The Process Requires Skill.
The experiments of Professor II. w.
Wood, of the University of Wiscon-
sin, in color photography were men-
toned by the New York Tribune sew
eral months ago. Further details are
now furnished by him to Science"
1t thus appears that the Madison sci
enlist has hit upon a thoroughly prac-
tical scheme, although at present it
has not attained a high degree of de-
velopment nor reached the CONNER
cial stage Of its career.
If the reader will recall what is
known as the "three-color SCREEN sys-
TEN, already employed In photograph
ing colors, and then remember what
'diffraction grating Is he will readi-
ly understand Professor Woods meth
cd.
Professor Wood begins, as do the
others, by taking three negatives with
the usual color screens, and he prints
off on glass positive from each mega
tive. But from that point onward his
procedure is unique. He employs 9TH
er means to produce the effect of col
or on the observers eye. Before con-
siderng these, however, 1t may be
we'll to have a clear idea of the gen.
eral appearance Of the negatives and
positives. The sensitive film that the
photographer puts into his camera is
to all intents and purposes transpar-
ent. The plate upon which in the
three-screen process red rays only are
allowed to fall is SO affected thereby
that, when the plate has been treat
ed in developing bath, the light
struck regions are clouded and the
rest of the plate still keeps clear. The
cloud produced is black one: and its
opacity or denscneSs corresponds to
the intensity of the red in the subject
Of the picture. The greens and blues
produce black clouds also on their re-
spective plates, but in different places
from those where the reds We're I'M
printed.
The pOsitives that are taken from
these negatives reverse the situation,
