HOT MORNING BREAKFAST,
Comfort Depends on Food.

It is not 50 easy to arrange a tempting
breakfast for a hot morning, but every
one appreciates such a breakfast and en-
joys the relief from the heated blood
caused by a meat and coffee breakfast
In fact, by skilled selection OF food
even the hottest day can be made quite
comfortable.
Start with fruit of some kind, then a
dish OF Grape-Nnts food with cold cream.
one or two soft boiled eggs. a slice Of
bread and butter and a cup of cocoa or
Postum Food Coffee. On that sort OF
meal one will be fully nourished until the
midday.
Grape-Nuts food is concentrated and
powerful, tmparting to the user a sense
of reserve force and strength. The
strong man thinks the wea ther moderate
and comfortable when the nervous. weak
man thinks It unbearably hot. Grape
Nuts food is perfectly cooked at the fac
tory and ready for instant use, cool and
delicious. requiring no hot stove ana
cross cook on hot morning. Health
is matter of wise selection Of food
and contented mind.

TRUTHS EASILY DIGESTED.
Concerning Il Method of Curing Dys-
pepsia and Stomach Troubles.


Dyspepsia and indigestion are considered
incurable by many people who do not
realize the advance made in modern medi-
cal science, and because by the old meth
DDS and remedies a cure was rarely if
ever obtained.
Dyspepsia is now cured as readily as any
other disease.
What the dyspcptic wants is abundant
nutrition. which means plenty C good.
Wholesome, well-cooked food and some
thing to assist the weak stomach to digest
it. This is exactly the purpose for which
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are adapted
and this is the method by which they cure
the worst cases of Dyspepsia, in other
words the patient eats plenty of whole
some food and Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets
digest It for him. In this way the sys-
TEN is nourished and the overworked
stomach rested, because the tablets viii
digest the food whether the stomach works
or not One of these tablets will digest
5000 grains Of meat or eggs.
Your druggist will tell you that Stuart's
Dyspepsia Tablets is a. remedy sold on its
merits and Is the ptrest, safest and
cheapest remedy sold for stomach troubles,
and every trial makes one more friend for
this excellent preparation.

SPLENDID DECORATIONS.
The Banquet Hall a Magnificent
Bower OF Flowers

From c to ? O'Clock yesterday after
noon the banquet hall Of the Jefferson
was thronged with beauCfully-gowHed
women, who We're fortunate enough to
have received an invitation to view the
magnificent decorations for the Seaboard
celebration last night. And it was a sight
well worth seeing. The three rooms.
thrown into one, seemed a fa:ryland of
flowers and light, with the Stars and
Stripes for a boundary
The doors and windows were artistically
draped in American flags, and the evening
breeze 1oated in waves of red, white and
blue, while the golden eagles, placed here
and there, seemed to wish to insert their
shril voice of congratuiaton.
The table, at which the speakers sat
with President Williams was on dais
raised about three feet from the floor.
Back of this table, reading TO the ceiling,
were graceful palms, and, filing the cen
ire window on the Jefferson Street side,
was the piece de resistance a map of
the Seaboard system. Against a back
ground of white, the line from Richmond
to Tampa was marked with red carnations.
The branch lines were of pink carnations,
and the cities were designated by pu! pie
immortelles The Atlantic Ocean and Gulf
were formed of green leaves, suspended
from the speakers table, and extending
w
on the centre of whch the large red let
ters, S. A. L., in immortelles. appeared.
On the sides were railroad tracks of tinted
galax. leaves, with smilax forming the
ties. Magnolias were along the edge, and
on either side of the table, and between
the sections of the banquet hall, We're
stacks of watermeions, canteloupes and
pineapples. most artistically placed and
emitting fragrance suggestive of the
Southland.
Tables ran the length of the sections;
each one decorated in ropes of sm.lax,
forming a railroad track, through the
centre OF which extended asparagus fern,
banked at either end and in the centre
with red and white roses bouttonniere
of roses was t each plate. At the ends of
the table We're pink-shaded candles in
the candelabra. that shed roseate hue
over the beautiful scene.
The colors of the glasses further car
ricd out the color scheme of red. white

Breaking the Bonds.

From the London Daily Mail.
Somewhat more than IS per
cent of the petitions for divorce
in England and Wales are in
marriages of five to twenty
years duration.
1T would seem that as to
duration of marriages there are
S some differnce between petitions
by husbands and wives. In the
early years the proportions are
much the same. But a large per-
centage of petitions are brought
by wives after twenty years of
married life"
These interesting reflections
are given by Mr. John Macdo'
nell, G. B., LII. D., a master
ofthe supreme court, who has
edited the civil and judicial
statistics of England and Wales
for 1898, which were issued re-
Gently.
The highest figures quoted
are in relation OF marriages o.
beween ten and twenty years
duration, which is obviously thu
most trying period of married
life.

The width of a streak of hight

George Bunker of the Hamburg
observatory. The bolt struck a
tower a third of a mile away,
and from the width of the streak
secured upon Photographic

it was easily computed that the
actual breath of the discharge
was one fifth of an inch.

From Nineteenth Century.
The most remarkable instance

cumulative longevity was that

grandfather, when a child. had
been held up to look at Charles
l l at the kings restoration in
1860 My friend was a highly
respected and influential solici'
tor in Norwich, Freestone by
name, and at his death in, l
think, 1865 or tbereabouts, lie
left an estate in Norfolk to his
nephew, Justice Lindley, now
master of the rolls.
John Freestone, the grand
father, lived a bachelor till his
Esd year, and the hen married
and had a son, John the second.
This gentleman did as his
father did; he lived jovial
life till he was 70, and then he
married and had son, John the
third, my friend, who. living
till rs, died 218 years after his
grandfather was born, and some
2O5 years after that grandfather
was held up to stare at Charles
II. That is, the grandfather
must have been a boy of H. or
