DIRECTING the Rainfall.

The Mandans, tribe of American
Indians, have curious custom as re-
CARDS producing and stopping rain.
This business is mainly in the hands
of the young men, who volunteer to
stand in turn upon the roof of hut
from sunrise to shutdown vociferously
commanding the rain to fall or cease.
They are assisted by the medicine
men, who meanwhile perform their
mysteries inside the hut. The young
men who fail retire in disgrace, but
The winner ranks as a medicine man,
an honor always won, for the cere-
mony is kept going daily until sue
cess is attained.

The Other Girl.

How fair you looked that night in May
Where you and music held full swayl
With eager haste I clasped your waist,
To claim you for twirl
And when, the dancing done, I told
To willing ears the story old,
Your soft reply was yes" and
Forgot the other girl.
In lustrous silk and filmy veil
You stood before the altar rail,
A bride as sweet as one could meet
OF womanhood the pearl;
But as we turned to face the aisle,
A shadow crossed your winning smile,
And, in a pew in plainest view,
1 saw the other girl.
Dear Rose, you are a charming wife
For ten glad years you've made my life
A happy lot. and I would not
Change places with an earl;
Yet sometimes, when you pout and frown,
Or wear an unbecoming gown,
Ny thoughts fly back along Times track
To greet the other girl.

And he loved but her alone;
He yearned to tell her of it

And he loved her in the fall;

He loved her best of all
But he hesitated

And he wooed her coming back;

ORIGIN.
OF a Famous Human Food.


The Story of great discoveries or In
ventions is always of interest.
An active brain worker who found
himself hampered by lack of bodily
strength and vigor and could not
carry out the plans and enterprises
he knew how to conduct was led to
study various foods and their effects
upon the human system. In other
words before he could carry out his
plans he had to find food that would
carry him along and renew his physi-
cal and mental strength.
He knew that food that was
brain and nerve builder, (rather than
a mere fat maker), was universally
needed He knew that meat with the
average man does not accomplish the
desired results. He knew that the
soft gray substance in brain and
nerve centers is made from Albumen
and Phosphate Of Potash obtained
from food. Then he started to solve
the problem.
Careful and extensive experiments
evolved Grape-Nuts, the now famous
food. Grape-Nuts contain the brain
and nerve building food elements in
condition for easy digestion. The re-
suit of eating Grape-Nuts daily is
easily seen in a marked sturdiness
and activity of the brain and nervous
system, making it pleasure for one
to carry on the daily duties without
fatigue or exhaustion. The food Is
In no sense a stimulant but is simply
food which renews and replaces the
daily waste Of brain and nerves.
Its favor is charming and being
July and thoroughly cooked at the
factory it is served instantly with
,ream.
The signature of the brain worker |
spoken of, C. w. Post, is to be seen |
IN each genuine package of Grape
Nuts.
Look in each package for q copy Of
he famous little book, THE Road to
