A SOLDIER FOUND What He Had Looked for 35 Years

Many interesting stories are still told by the heroes of the late war of the re- bellion An old soldier of Morris, H., related his experience q short time ago.
 When l enlisted in the war;" he said, "I was strong and healthy and weighed 1SO pounds, and when I was discharged four years later l only weighed 13O pounds, which was the result of q very bad stomach trouble, contracted while in the army.
 T was treated by medical men for a long time, paying out hundreds of dol lars but receiving no permanent benefit. Patent medicines were also highly recom- mended for dyspepsia and stomach trou- bles and tried number of them but got no relief, and in the end was actually worse. l became mentally and physically wreck had no energy to eo business, and l simply got enough sustenance from my food to keep soul and body together and was in pain and misery constantly.
 While in this condition I met friend who asked me if l had used Grape-Nuts. l had not. but had used other prepared food and got no relief ;nd so had no con- fidence in any of them. He continued to urge me to use Grape-Nuts. saying his wife had become so much improved in health by using this particular food.
 "So. partly to please him. I bought package and made my super that night on Grape-Nuts, fully exoecti?s, to suffer all night as the result. To my surprise and great joy it agreed ith me perfect N I had a good appetite from that time on and Grape-Nuts was my only food for the first four months; then I began to partake of other food sparingly. I gained very rapidly, mentally and physically, with energy and force restored, and also gained in flesh, my weight increas- ing 95 pounds in about six months My stomach, from which had suffered un- told misery for thirty-five years. became perfectly healthy so that l could eat all kinds of food In connection with Grape-Nuts
 To-day I am 62 years old and enjoy good health and l believe Grape-Nuts to be the best of food products, scientifi- cally prepared so as to contain the great est amount of nutrimen. and tonic prop critics" Name given by Psstum O., Bat tie Creek, Mich.

MISS COGHLAN'S ALICE
DRAMATIzATIoN OF THOMPSON
 STORY AT THEATRE.
The Play Has Not the Interest of the Book. "Alice of Old Vincennes"-Large Audi
 ence Present.

Alice of old Vincennes" a dramatization of the popular Revolutionary romance of Mau- rice Thompson, was presented last night to a large audience at the Montgomery Theater by Miss Gertrude Coghlan and company
 The book does not yield to acceptable drama tization and the play Is widely different from the work of Mir. Thompson. It cannot be said that the play Is as successful as the romance The action is hurried and little opportunity is given for the chasacter work so carefully de- veloped by the book.
 The playwright, too, has resorted to several incidents which are strongly suggestive of Janice Meredith and other Revolutionary plays, and these incidents do not improve the story.
 Miss Coghlan as Alice" does not seem particularly well fitted to the part. Her drawl or lisp. something after the manner of Stuart Robson, does not become Alice of Old Vim cennes," and while dispassionate acting is a virtue almost at times, there were times when Miss Coghlan could have afforded to throw 1t to the winds.
 Generally speaking. Miss Coghlan was eff fective but on two important occasions, she failed to rise to the possibilities of the part.
 The supporting company was on the whole good. The Nannette St. Pierre of Madge Douglass an ingenue. was decidedly clever. and Joseph Cusak was good as Father Beret.
 Sidney Irving. as John Beverly. was stagey and carried of the spicy swashbuckling SO loved by admirers of the Revolutionary romance.
 Beatrice Foster. as Jane Bartlette, made a hit in the character part.
 The performance was adequately staged end the costumes were historically correct.
