Food That Rebuilt Mans Body and
Built 1t Right.
BY food alone, with knowledge Of
what food to use, disease can be
warded of and health maintained,
also many even chronic diseases can
be cured. 1t is manifestly best and
safest to depend upon food to cure
rather than too much drugging.
A case in point will illustrate A
well known man of Reading, Pa,
Treas. of a certain club there, says:
81 have never written testimonial
letter, but l have been using Grape
Nuts about a year and have recovered
my health, and feel that would like
to write you about 1t for the case is
extraordinary.
For five years | was a sufferer
from a dreadful condition of the bow
els; the trouble was most obscure"
Here follows a detailed description
and the condition certainly was dis
tressing enough "details can be given
by maiD.
Nothing in the way of treatment
of drugs benefited me in the least
and an operation was seriously con-
sidered. In May, 1901, commenced
using Grape-Nuts as a food and with
no idea that it would in any way help
my condition. In two or three weeks
time / noticed an improvement and
fhara vrae steady pain from thaf
time on until now i am practically
well. l don't know how to explain
the healing value Of the food but for
some reason, although It has taken
nearly a year. have recovered my
health and the change is entirely at
tributable to Grape-Nuts food, for l
long ago quit medicine. / eat only
Grape Nuts for breakfast. and lunch

This was what the doctors said to

Cures Drunkenness.

A traveller has made the observation
that coffee-drinking people are very
seldom given to drunkenness. In Bra
I'll, for instance, where coffee is grown
extensively, and all the inhabitants
drink it many times day, intoxica-
ton is rarely seen. The foreigner
who settles there, though possessed
of ever such a passion for strong
drink, gradually loses his liking for
alcohol as he acquires the coffee
drinking habit of the Brazilian.

Trees Without Leaves.

There are great forests OF leaness
trees in Australia. They are acacias,
or wattles, as some people call them,
and their being leafless is simply an
adaptation to the dry climate. They
have leaves while growing, but when
their growth is complete they shed
the leaves and breathe through the
little stem that remains, because mois-
ture is too precious to them for the
free evaporation that leaves always

California Prunes.

The first prune tree was planted in
California in 1870 by Frenchman,
who brought the tree to this country
from France. The first orchard-of
ten acres-began to yield in 1875. In
1901 the state produced 150,OOO,oOO
pounds of prunes and the total crop
of 1902 will be considerably larger.
The center of the industry is the San
ia Clara valley, which contains 1861

A Sincere Compliment.

Gen. Booth Of Salvation Army fame
declares that the Americans are more
reverent and more religious than the
English and that the American news
papers are better than those of the
old country. And it must be remem-
bered that the aged general did not
voice these views until he had re-
turned to England, for which reason
they may be accounted sincere.

CHANGING UNDERWEAR.
Winter Garments Should Not BE Pat
on for Those of Summer
All at Once.

A woman should not change direct
from the snug-ftting, long-sleeved
underwear of winter to the loose,
sleeveless, gauzy attire of summer.
1t is too great shock to the system
and may result in serious illness. It
Outlines lays the foundation of
lifetime of ill-health, says Medical
Talk for the Home.
The best way is to change from the
winter weight, whether it be wooden,
silk or cotton. to a suit of lighter
weight of the same material, preserv-
ing the long sleeves and ankle length.
The next Change can then be made
to the usual gauze underwear. In
this way the body, by degrees, be-
comes accustomed to the lighter
weight clothing and no shock is ex-
perienced. The change should be
made not in the heat of the day, but
in the morning, after cold bath and
vigorous rub.
For those who cannot afford or do
not care to provide themselves with
the intermediate suit, the best sug-
gestion would be to tighten the
weight of the clothing from the out
side. Wear a lighter wrap, thinner
waist, fewer skirts or leave off some
other article of dress. But do not be
in hurry to take off the winter un-
derwear, that worn next to the skin,
especially if it be wooden.
After the change has been made
great caution is necessary for awhile.
Avoid sitting near open windows. If
you go out in the early morning or
the evening provide yourself with a
light wrap. Stay in the sunshine all
you can; it will do you good. Do not
sit on the ground in May; it may
seem warm, but the chill is still
there. Give the sun another month
in which to renoyate old Mother
Earth and make her fit Longing
place for her children.
The tempting days of spring, with
their charm of blue sky, mellow sun
shine, leafng trees and verdant fields,
lure us to forgetfulness of health,
while the seductive operas of the
merry brooks and the blithesome
birds entice us to follow our inclina-
tions with utter disregard of Ma
lures laws.
Enjoy the spring days to the fullest
extent, but exercise little common
sense. Don't rush from winter WOOL
ems to summer gauzes at the first
chirp of robin or the first sight of
spring violet. 1t is better to suffer
little discomfort from the heat
than to run the risk of colds sore
throat, grip and pneumonia. Don't
be in too big hurry. Go slow. Ac-
custom the body to the change grad
ually and you will be in better condi-
ton to Withstand the swelterinR
heat of summer.

NOT A GOVERNMENT RISK.
Methods of the Present as They VIII
BE Regarded by Farmers
Fifty Years Hence.

Some recent Washington dispatches
called the attention of the public to the
fact that taking the cost of irrigation
of those western lands lately desig-
mated by the interior department for
that purpose as basis the estimate
of SIS an acre, which was the average
quoted at the time the bill was under
discussion, is entirely too low and the
cost of construction is likely to be
double that figure. This, says the
Boston Transcript, has called out
rejoinder from the National Irrigation
association, through it's secretary. He
shows, what ought to be self evident
to any one taking thought upon the
matter, that the cost will vary widely
with the conditions. He admits that
IS an acre would hardly cover the aver
age cost. That estimate was probably
based on private irrigation enter
prises, which would naturally deal
with more favorab BILE conditions.
But whether the work costs much or
little does not seriously affect the gem
eral proposition; the main point is
that, whether this work costs SIS or S25
an acre, the farmer or settler who
gets the benefit of the thus irrigated
and fortified land must pay and not
the government. The secretary of
the association estimates that the eX-
pense of providing these arid lands
with water will range all the way
from 81 to $50 an acre. Some of the
simpler schemes involve merely the
digging of big ditch in order to Sc
cure water for thousands of acres,
while others necessitate the building
of big masonary dams and the con-
struction of expensive canals andhead-
works. 1t may be objected that it
will be difficult to attract settlers to
these more extensively reclaimed
tracts, but the crudest irrigated farms
produce annually more than SIS an
acre, while the highly developed farms
and orchards are worth from four to
hundred times that amount.
1t is possible that the waters of some
of the great rivers of the northwest,
the Columbia and the Snake, will
eventually be partially diverted for
this purpose. That will cost a great
deal of money, but fruit lands in the
Yakima valley of Washington are
bringing in as high an annual revenue
as 5000 an acre, so a large expenditure
would be justified in extending that
productive territory. Thus whatever
the cost within reasonable limits, it
would be warranted by results that
experience has already demonstrated,
and, in any event, the settlers and not
the government incurs the risk.
Of course it would not be good eco
nomic policy for the government to
multiply these enterprises broadcast
without reference to the demand, but
that is something that will be done.
There must be a demand or the
strong indication of tendency before
work is entered upon. Certainly no
private company or syndicate would
proceed upon less prudent plan and
the government will naturally exer-
else even greater caution. The farmer
of fifty years hence will look back with
contempt upon the meager agricul-
tural returns of to-day.

Betty and the

BY FRANK H. SWEET.
Copyright. 1908. by Daily Story Pub. Co.,

w HEN Willett Rodgers left the
w Plymouth colony and moved
down into southern Rhode Island with
his family he found the Narragansett
country little more than a wilder
ness. All his seven daughters were
good with the rife, while Betty, the
youngest, not yet Is, was reckoned one
of the best shots in the country, and
could read signs almost as well as her
father. AS soon as she could walk she
had made the forest her playground,
and the birds and animals her compan.
lions. There was scarcely sound of
Ahe forest that she could not initiate. +,
Late one afternoon she was sitting
in the doorway, watching her sisters
spinning. Black clouds were rolling
up the sky, and every few moments
came the deep reverberations of thun-
der. Big drops of rain were already
beginning to splash on the doorstep.
Mrs, Rodgers was bustling about the
huge fireplace preparing supper. She
had just hung the pudding pot on the
crane and swung it back over the fire,
and was now patting appetizing look
dng cakes of corn meal dough upon the
johnny-cake board. AS the storm
burst overhead with deafening crash
Betty left her position in the doorway.

err than bulge halfpenny.
"Does the sum include the barrow?"
Answer given gloomily that the sum
does not include the barrow; and the
question added, what is the thin
armed lady getting at?"

fierceness. you take 'em 'ome and

What is gratifying to note is that,
after this active passage of arms, and
when the thin armed woman is almost
lost in the slowly moving crowd, the
proprietor relents and shouts:

And the thin armed woman comes
back through the crowd and buys a

Mrs. Rodgers placed IT carefully before

said, anxiously. "The Injins might run

one of the older girls. "Why, father

deprecatingly, "but he might come
back fore he allotted to, an then he'd
be sure an meet 'em."

soberly. "This storm'll make the In

be almost sure TO find us. They gen
orally have runners out in all direc-

"Well, there's seven of u.s. an we've
all got guns" cried one of the girls,
as she struck an attitude and took aim
with her distaff at an imaginary foe.

ture us. Did you see their trail,
