Properly Selected Food Of Great I'm

Loss of memory is a sure sign that the

especially selected foods, or the person

a mother writes about her son, and it
is interesting: My son. Albert, now
twenty-five years old and principal of
the - High School. graduated at the
Kansas University ana is q post graduate
OF the Columbia, Mo-. University.
when he began teaching about year
ago he had just completed his education
and was badly broken down in health.
He had only about two months vacation
and spent it at Excelsior Springs, but
when he returned there was no improve
ment.
.'We thought he would get better after
he began his work, but instead of im-
proving he became more weak and ner-
vous, and. finally; foreetfnlEi in thekschool-
room. He tried different physicians and
everything he could hear of, and at last
gave up school and came home, after
putting teacher i'll his place. )
II cooked every delicacy I could think
OF for him, but he became very thin and
We We're greatly worried about him. One
day a neighbor sent over a box OF Grape
Nuts. He caught sight of the package
and after reading the statement of what
the food was intended for, became much
interested and began using it
.iHe liked it, ana at the end of a week
was very much strengthened and inn
proved. We were encouraged. He stuck
to Grape-Nuts, and in five weeks was
back in the school-room.
He is now teaching the second term in
the same place, and has recovered entirely
and gained wonderfully in flesh. He now
weighs l65 pounds and is an expert foot
ball player.
'.My daughter. Georgia, eight years old
was a weak little girl until after NC
found what effect Grape-Nuts had on
Albert; we put her on the food and now
She is exceptionally stout and healthy.

From the Worlds Work.
First look to your riding gear and take
leaf from the guacho's book In all his
outfit there Is scarcely an inch Of leather
His girth or cinch Is a strip Of cowhide
from nine inches to over a foot in width
and the top piece to which 1t is fastened by
Iawhide thongs is Of the same material
On the off side. where the top piece meets
the gfrth. the rawhide lasso is buttoned
and coiled. You who have not been trained
TO the use Of the lasso had better leave It
behind you. for you are far more likely to
catch yourself than cow or calf. Fasten
those sheepskin saddle covers we'll over the
top pieces. See that those enormous Span
Ssh bits are properly adjusted II YOU do not
wish to reduce your horses mouth to a
mere mass of bloody pulp. Be careful in
mounting and be quick about It, Lookout
Tor the swing round you put foot in stir
fup and hand on rein. II you are wearing
spurs be careful lest in crossing over the
rowels should come in contact with the
haunches, which are quivering with excite
ment. Ride from your knees like horse
men; use knee and stirrup to tighten the
Jolt on the hips. AS every stride OF the
sallop Is ended lean forward and keen the
balance well. In effect. give those pampa-
bred horses fair play and they will gallon
until your shoulders ache. until the sweat
and bride foam are clotted on your boot
tops, until your stirrups are cIogged with
the seeds Of grasses and thistles shipped off
as you swing merrily through them and
until. for your own sake at least, 1t is time

Average Age Of Dogs.
4 the Pail Mall Gazette

From the Pail Mall Gazette.
The age to which q dog lives in the ordi-
nary course Is always a somewhat fnter-
esting subject. especially at the present
time. when SO much Is done in the way of
breeding for early maturity. For instance,
we have both collies and fox terriers be-
coming bench champions before they are
well out Of their puppyhood. but it is sad
to say that in a majority OF such cases
the oyershown dog afterWard rapidly de-
generates or dies an early death. A corre-
spondent writes to the Field Of the death
OF his fox terrier at the advanced age Of
eighteen years. having been born In 1884
He was either q son or a grandson Of
Brokenhurst Joe. his late owner does not
know which. This IL no doubt q case OF
unusual longevity: but instances OF dogs
living to fourteen and fifteen years ere
common. DR.. Leeney recorded the death
OF dog of Lord Ogtlvie at twenty.three
years old. It arising from an accident:
while Mr.. w. L. Littleton-Geaoh about the
same time mentioned two Of his own dogs,
one OF which was then living. hard on to
twenty years old: the other had Just died
when over that age.
The well-known fox terrier Belgrave Joe
was born July 81. 1868, and died January
Is. 1883. while another aged terrier was
one OF q working stamp which came from
George Carter Of the Bedale, born in Jan
uary. 1850. and died February IL, 1900. In
several OF the above well-authenttcate
cases OF longevity death either arose from
accident or was brought about by the
owner owing to the growing feebieness OF
the poor creature. No mean can be struck
as to the average age OF the ordinary dog.
but this might be taken at ten years as he
ts now.

ENGLISH WoMEN's CLOTHES.
Overdressed Not So Much as Regards
Expense as Quality.
From the New York Sun.

From the New York Sun.
The complaint that English women are
oyerdressed sounds strange TO American
ears. as Ii has not been the general opinion
here that they were extrayagant In the
matter OF their clothes. Even when they
are attlred in the most ceremonious style
1t has commonly been said by American
critics that they usually managed to do it
on an outlay that would have been impos-
sible to an American girl under the same
circumstances. Some opinions on the sub
1ect were expressed by a woman. who. after
serving as the manager OF the local branch
OF London tailor set up for herself here
in business.
English women are not accustomed to
pay nearly so much for their clothes as
the Americans" she said. And they go
to expensive makers only when they are in
very smart set or are very rich. The
women of the royal families Of England
set a splendid example to other English
women In their economy Of Dress and their
expenditures are very little. Here all kinds
Of women spend money on dress. and large
amounts In comparison with the cost OF
dress abroad. What the writer. who makes
the complaint meant was. III all probability,
that the English women put on more
clothes than women OF any other nation.
That Is perfectly true. They can pile more
things on themselves than any other wo-
men,
!heJ tHiHh hOtAiHR OF wearing with an
ordinary walking suit feather boa, usually
cocks plumes. lace scarf and q fur tip
pet II they happen to possess one This
over-ornamentation does not seem in the
least excessive to an English woman Eng
lish women are also likely to put on Jewels
to the same extent. In evening dress there
is no end to the amount OF Ornamentation
they are capable of. They put on feathers,
boas and aigrets to an incredible extent,
English women are oxerdressed. but not
from the expense OF their dresa: It is from
the amount of superf1uous trimmings they
seem to think necessary"

Mad Anthony's Battleflag.

DR.. Henry g. Moore Of Wabash, Ind, has
an old battle flag said to have been carried
by Gen. Anthony Wayne (Mad Anthony
during his campaign through northern Ohio
and Indiana. toward the close Of the eigf,-
teenth century It Is made of homespun
linen. with thirteen red. white and blue
stripes. and in the corner in faded letters
is the name Anthony Wayne The holes in
its canvas show 1t was on the firing line.
It's dimensions are four by five feet.
DR.. Moore obtained the flag from an In
dian named Dickinson in 1885 He was a
Miami and claimed that the flag had been
in his family for years, descending from an
ancestor. Recently the flag was shown to
Mrs. Devarre. the venerable Indian sauaw.
aged ninety. while she was here perfecting
her title to the little tract of ground on
which she lives, and the facts were ex-
planned to her by Chief Godfrey. Mrs Re
varre's Indian name is Kil-so-quah, and
she relates that after the battle OF the
Maumee. In 1904. the flag. by Washington 8
order, was given to an Indian named She
mock-e-mish by General Wayne himself as
an emblem Of peace. He gave 1t to a rela-
tive OF Kil-so-quah. and In later years 1t
disappeared. and Mrs Revarre supposed It
had been destroyed. She readily recognized
1t when 1t was exhibited to her gaze.
