empty Grape Nuts box fioated to him.
The food facts he learned changed his
whole life-but let him tell his story.

when one cannot enjoy his meals, he may
as well be dead. There was a time when
l could eat and digest anything. but for
two wears previous to last Spring. l
was In a wretched state. l tried every
thing 1 heard Of, took all kinds of med
icine. almost enough to float a ship, but
with no lasting purpose.
Last Spring, 1 had to give up work
and went to Atlantic City. One day
while strolling along the beach. L no
ticed box being tossed about on the
breakers and finally thrown up on the
sand. sat down on the sand and looked
at 1t idly at FIRST but after reading a
few words on the box, got interested.
1t told how Grape-Nuts food was pre-
pared and all its good qualities and /
made I'D my mind then and there that
l would try It.
II have not taken a drop of medicine
from that day to this. but used about
a half package OF Grape-Nuts each day
for two months. L men gradually began
eating meat and vegetables and fruit,
and now can eat anything I care to
without It distressing me. but still cling

Bowden and others to one Proctor who
conveyed 70 Bowden. Then Bowden con-
veyed to Henry M. Sage several months
after Scotch Lumber Company bought

lowed between that company and Sage.
On cress- OF animation Mr.. Wilson admit
ted that he knew al about the lost deed

A Celebrated Roman Eater.

Touching the matter of eating, the
stories told by the old chroniclers and
historians Of the abnormal appetites of
certain Roman and Oriental men Of
note fairly stagger belief. Gibbon tells
Of Soliman, a caliph in the eighth GEN.
tury, who died Of indigestion in his
camp near Chalcis, in Syria, just as
he was about to lead an army of Arabs
against Constantinople. He had emptied
two baskets Of eggs and figs, which
he swallowed alternately, and the re-
past was finished with marrow and
sugar. In pilgrimage to Mecca the
same caliph had eaten with impunity
at a single meal seventy pomegranates,
kid, six fowls and huge quantity
of the grapes Of Tdyef.

Buried Cities of Asia.

During his recent researches among
the buried cities Of Asia DR.. NJ. A.
Stein discovered much information re.
garding the life Of those cities which
for 1000 years have been immured in
the sand. The most striking excava.
tions were made in the heart Of the
desert of Ell Riya. There one settle
ment was exposed covering with its
scattered dwellings and shrines an area
Of about twenty-four square miles. Re
fuse heaps which were unearthed near
some ruined houses which apparently
had been tenanted by village officials
contained hundreds of documents,
beautifully written on wooden tablets
and carefully tied and sealed. Owing
to the preservative nature of the sand
many of these were in splendid condi-
tion-the ink as black and the seals
and string as perfect as if they were
only a few weeks old. As these docu-
ments are in q known Indian script
their decipherment can be expected to
reveal in a fascinating manner many
of the details of the ancient village
life

Tha Doctor,s Circle.

Each physician in the United States
has 655 persons to look to for his sup
port, for one to 655 is the proportion,
according to the latest Government
statistics. California stands at the
bottom-or top, depending on the view
of the list, for there are only 416 ac-
tual and prospective patients for each
M. D., while in Alaska 2340 persons
have to depend on Oh take chances
with one doctor. New York is near the
average, with Coz persons for each ply
sician to look after. and Pennsylvania
comes nearer the average than any
other States, with 6G2. Lying partially
between these great States comes New
Jersey, where the number Of medical
practitioners falls off until one has to
care for 6S6 persons.

DANGEROUS Delights.

A New York physician has recently
drawn attention to the danger of tu-

visits to menageries. These greatly
loved visits. of the little ones should,
he thinks, give concern to sanitarians.

as long as nurses, time and temper

the average monkey house are GER
tainly favorable to the dissemination

VtrfcuIture,

Thanks to DR.. Cations studies, we
know how much children inherit from
each of their ancestors; and it is theo-
ret;cally possible to calculate how
much increasing the productiveness
of the better individuals would i'm
prove the race. Thus, if those who are
we'll endowed-and DR.. Galton believes
that it is possible to discover differ
ences in efficiency early in life-were
enabled to marry young and were
placed in favorable conditions, the ef-
ficiency of the race would be increased
by an amount that can be calculated.
A Utopia such as DR.. Galton plans Is
not easy to carry into effect, but it Is
we'll to realize what enormous conse-
quences would follow were this possi-
bic under existing conditions Of law
