The business. He became a travelling
salesman for the Fowler Vulcan Horse
Nail company, and from the start has
made a name for himself and a thirty
ing business for his employers.
Nearly every year his salary was i'll
creased, and it has been the custom of
the firm to recognize his services and
worth in a substantial way every year
about Christmas. Two weeks ago he
was notified to appear in Reading,
where the state headquarters of the
firm are located, and when Mr.. Peil re-
turned he carried in his pocket his
commission, which authorized him to
act as the company's resident manager
and to choose his own headquarters.
Naturally, he selected the home of his
birth as headquarters, and is located at
COS Birch street. His success has given
great pleasure to his associates, who
are proud OF the prominence their COM
rade has gained in the business world.

WHISKERS OF MICE.
Eyebrows of Bears and Human Eye
 laShes Irsad in Ona Trade

Eyebrows of Bears and Human Eye
 lashes Used in One Trade.
 The business done in mouse whis- kers is considerable this year, for they are used in the making of the wonder ful new fly for fishermeu-the new gray gnat' And they are expensive nearly two cents per whisker. Trout rise very much better at mouse whis- ker flies than at the same 'gnat' dressed in jingleoock buckles which look much like them.
 The trade or artificial fly making is the lightest-i fingered business in tho world, and it is not one man or woman out of 5000 who can learn to tie flies. These tyers are remarkable for the beauty and delicacy of their hands, and only the cleverest of fingers can deal with the "niggling" work of knot ting hairs that can hardly be seen.
 In making fly the earth has to be ransacked for precisely the correct feathers and hairs, and one hair wrong will make all the difference.
 It takes an expert tier only fifteen minutes to turn out a fly, which con- sists of tiny hook, with wings of Egyptian dove fea ther, legs of fox hair and body of mouse fur, wound around with a thread of yellow silk. A care- lessly made fly will have neither legs nor "feelers," but the true expert adds the legs and puts on pair of long "feelers'' of cat hair. white at the tips. All these tiny details will be exactly in their places and so finely tied to the hook that they fly will take half a doz en strong fish and be none the worse.
 Bears eyebrows, being stiff, and ex- actly the right shade, are used in a newly invented fly that is killing duan- titles of salmon this year. and these eyebrows come from the Himalayan brown bear and cost about $1.5O per set. There are always agents all over the world searching tropical forests for the right birds to supply fly hackles, and one of the most sought after skins Is that of the rare green screamer," an African bird, about the size of a fowl, which has tiny bunch of feathers on each shoulder that are worth $15 per bunch to the f1ymaker. One of these birds only supplies feathers enough for half a dozen files. Numbers of men spend their lives-and lose them, too In collecting the right kind of birds for fly feathers.
 There is no limit to the enthusiasm of an artistic fly tier, who will use hair from his own eyelashes to finish off an extra special fly. Babys hair is much sought after ateriaI, if of the right shade--golden yellow-for all the lighter salmon flies, and one curl will make a dozen f1rst-class flies. There are many salmon and trout fishers who pay $s,00O a year for their flies alone.-Cincfnnati Enquirer.

HILLHOUSE ALUMNI WON.

Defeated the Y. M. c. A. Team Yester-
 day Afternoon il to G.
 An interesting and at times exciting game of football was played on Yale field yesterday between the Young Mems Christian association and Hill house alumni
 The Y M. c. A. had the kick off. Hillhouse then took possession of the ball and by a. series of center and end rushes pushed the ball to the Y. M. c. As 15 yard line. The association then rallied and held Iillhouse but lost the ball by an imprudent attempt to kick Hillhouse found no trouble in then pushing the ball over the line but they failed to kick a goal.
 The Y. M c. A. then had the kick off which was fumbled by Hillhouse but afterward recovered and advanced few yards. The Y. M. c. A. then ral- lied in excellent form and held Hill house for four downs.
 Cahill of the Y. M c. A. proved to be star halfback and made repeated gains through either center or tackle and end. Hillhouse tried to brace but failed and just before call of time

SENSE ABOUT FOOD. Facts About Food Worth Knowing

It is a serious question sometimes to know just what to eat when a person S stomach Is out of order and most foods cause griping and pains.
 Grape-Nuts Food can be taken at any time with the certainty that 1t will di- gest Actual experience of people is valuable to any one interested in foods.
 Mrs. Ella Nation, 1452 Grand Ave, Terre Haute, Ind, Had suffered with indigestion for about four years, ever since an attack of typhoid fever and at times could eat nothing but the very lightest food, and then suffer such agony with my stomach I would wish I never had to eat anything. I was urged to try Grape-Nuts Food and since using it do not have to starve myself any more but I can eat it at any time and feel nourished and satis- fled. and dyspepsia Is a thing of the past.
 When my stomach used to have that burning, hungry sensation my heart would 1utter, just as sufferers with stomach trouble know about, and when I was so weak I could hardly walk I would get up and get some Grape-Nuts and cream and eat them and the trouble would stop right away, and I kept growing better and better.
 My husband also had an experience with Grape Nuts Food He was very weak and sickly in the spring. Could not attend to his work. He was put un- der the doctors care but medicine did not seem to do him any good until he began to leave off ordinary food and use Grape-Nuts It was positively sur nrisng to see the change in him. He grew better right off, and naturally lie has none but words of praise for Grape Nuts.
 Our boy thinks he cannot eat meal without he has Grape-Nuts, and he learns so fast at school that his teacher and other scholars comment on it. I am satisfied that it is because of the great nourishing elements in Grape Nuts.
 It is pity that people do not know what to feed their children. There are many mothers who feed their young sters on almost any kind of food and when they become sick begin to pour the medicine downsthenl. The real way is to stick to proper food and be healthy and get along without the medicine and
