PLATES AS SOUVENIRS.
Three Young Men Had a Fondness for
BartOn's China.

Three young men attired in evening
dress entered Barton's about l o'clock
yesterday morning, and after eating sew
eral costly relishes and paying for them
decided to carry the plates away as souv-
enirs They went to nearby corner to
examine them when one of the pieces of
china dropped on the street.
special watchman, who was standing
at the corner, questioned them about the
plate, and not receiving prompt answers
took them to the hotel ard asked if the
china had been stolen there. The night
clerk viewed the remains of the dish and
finding the name of the hotel on it de-
cided it had been stolen. While the cross
examination was in progress the other
two men ran away with their souvenirs.
The one who fell into the watchman's
hands was thoroughly scared and offered
to pay for the dish to avoid arrest. He
was released on his promising to call to
see the proprietor of the hotel during the
day, which he did.

BREAD DYSPEPSIA.
White Bread Makes Trouble With Some
People

Loading up with white bread and
starchy cereals is quite sure to ultimate
ly bring on some disorder of the bowels,
and is frequently the cause of appendi
citis.
The starches are not digested in the
upper stomach. but are treated in the
ducdenum. and from there oil down
through the whole length of the bowels.
Consequently If too much starchy food
is used, particularly white bread. trouble
is likely to set up. White bread does not
contain the diastatic principles which
nature placed in the wheat berry to help
digest starch, but the white flour miller
leaves that part out.
Grape Nuts Breakfast Food was per-
fected purposely to supply the starch of
the cereals and the other parts intended
by nature for use, and presents them TO
the body in form that will easily be
digested. In fact. they are predigested by
natural means during the process of
manufacture. so that one can get all the
energy and value from that sort of food
without overlooking the organs.
A man from Brantford, Ont, says: For
the first twenty years of my life l lived
out of doors. then l took up my present
employment, which is indoors, and re
qures the exercise of the brain rather
than the body.
Gradually a languid feeling took pos
session of me, which developed into dys-
pepsia and later into constipation. These
conditions continued for several years in
spite of pills and laXatives without num-
ber. After n time l began to suffer from
great lack cf vitality and from time TO
time with cramps in the bowels which
usually laid me UP for three or four days.
Finally the physician discovered that l
was on the point of appendicitis. After
one of these severe attacks. about six
months ago, neighbor brought in part
of package of Grape-Nuts to try, and
noticed good results from the first, and
have continued to use the Food in place
of white bread and cereals | formerly
used.
Il have gained considerably in weight,
feel much better than l have in years.
my complexion has cleared up. digestion
is good and | have not had n cramp
since starting; but mere important than
all else. 1 notice a distinct ciearness of
mind sustained by an energy and nerve
force that l have not known before.
II have learned an exceedingly valuable
lesson in living and will not. hereafter,
load myself down with food requiring too
much bulk to supply a sufficient amount
of nourishnient as l used to. This lesson
in moderation in diet, and knowing how
to select proper food. is worth everything

PRINCE ENJOYED ITINERARY.
DR.. D. ]. Hill Assures the President of
This Fact. ~

That Prince Henry CT Prussia had en-
joyed his long Southern and Western trip
to the limit, and that people of those
sections of the country had accorded him
a welcome no less generous than he had
received in the North, was the gist of the
informal report which DR.. u. j. HILL AS
sistant Secretary of State, made to Pres
ident Roosevelt yesterday.
DR.. Hill was the chairman of the spe-
cial delegation appointed by the Presi-
dent to superintend the reception and en-
tertainment of the royal visitor during
his sojourn in this country. His col
leagues were General Corbin and Rear Ad-
miral Evans. They accompanied the
prince everywhere.
President Roosevelt said that he was
much pleased with the happy circum-
stances which had attended the visit of
the prince at every turn, and that the
policy and plans of the delegates had his
sincere approba zion.
