He Rode Down.

Algernon Dougherty of the United
States diplomatic service has qualities
Of his own to account for his success
as well as being the son Of the famous
"Silver Tongued" Dougherty of Phila-
delphia. One Of the rules Of the aris-
tocratic Partisan concierge Is that
while one may ride up in the elevator
one must not ride down. 1t was Mr.
Dougherty who broke down this rule
In q house in the Rue de Maturin.
He started down, and the concierge
stopped the elevator. 1T Is forbidden"
"By whomW
sThe proprietor forbids it." said the
concierge.
Mr.. Dougherty drew himself up and
said, "Tell your proprietor that for

rode on down. And now even the

What shall eatT' is the daily inquiry the
physician is met with. do not hesitate to say
that, In my Judgment, large percentage Of dis
ease Is caused by poorly selected and improperly
prepared food. My personal experience with the
fully cooked food known ms Grape-Nuts enablss
me to speak freely Of Its merits
From overwork suffered several years with
malnutrttion, palptation Of the heart and loss Of
sleep. Last summer was led to experiment per-
sonaiiy with the new food, which j used In con-
junction with good rich cows milk. In a short
time after commenced its the disagreeable
symptoms disappeared, my hearts action became
steady and normal. the functions Of the stomach
were properly carried ont and again slept as
soundly and as well as in my youth.
II look upon Grape-Nuts AZ a perfect food, and
no one can gainsay but that It has most promi-
nent place In rational, scientific system Of feed
Ing. Any one who uses this food will soon be con-
