Emmy Lou, the delightful and adora- ble little girl, about whose book and heart Mrs George Madden Martin has written so charminly, wins herself ador- CTS In strange places. Tn fact, she is proving herself a sort of fictional mis- sionary In a small West Virginia town there is a little book shop, opposite a large commercial hotel that is chiefly bar-room. Recently some of the travel ing men migrated from the bar side walk across to the book shop to get in the shade. whisky drummer happened to see a copy of Emmy Lou lying on the counter and he picked it up, saving. Let me read you some of this, boys, it will make you think of your own little kids at home" and he began and read on for an hour without being once in- terrupted, The bookseller took seven orders for Emmy Lou from the crowd before 1t went back to the bar again. Emmy Lou" Is now entering with a sixth edition.
 As Golden Fleece is a sort of inter- national story, it is only natural that it should find a market in England. It is now running serially in one of the Eng fish magazines, and will appear in book form this fall. The English critics find the fortune-hunting British earl, seeking an heiress in America who is the cen tral figure of the novel, a life-like and amusing character managed without caricature," to quote one of the chief re- views.

 Sir Robert Ball, the noted English writer on astronomical subjects, and ex- president of the Royal Astronomical So- ciety. pays his American confrere. Simon Newcomb. the highest tribute in the pre- face which he writes to the English edi- ton of the latter's popular book on as- tronomy-" Astronomy for Every body" He says in part:
 When my good friends the publishers, did me the honour to ask me to write a Preface for an English edition of a work by Prof. simon Newcomb, the distin- gushed American astronomer my first impulse was to send an absolute refusal I felt, as may readily be conjectured. that 1t would be a great presumption to me to comply, seeing that everybody knows Professor Newcomb stands in the foremost rank of living men of science. not merely in America, but all over the world.
 But after I had read the book I changed my mind. I derived such keen enjoyment from it, that found that I could not help acceding to the wish of the publishers and for the following reason. Like others who are connected with astronomy I constantly receive in- quiries as to the best book to put in the hands of a beginner who desires to learn something of the heavens. Hitherto have always recommended The Orbs of Heaven by Mitchell who was also an American astronomer. Now I shall be glad to add 'Newcombs Astronomy for Everybody

ORIGIN.
OF = 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 yigor 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 woui"
carry him along and renew his physi-
cal and mental strength.
He knew that q food that was q
brain and nerve builder, (rather than
o mere fat makcr), was universally
needed. He knew that meat with the
average man does not accomplish the
desired results. He knew that the
soft gray subsistence in br: in 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 clements In
condition for easy digestion. The re-
suit of eating GrapeNuts daily is
easily seen in a marked sturdiness
and activity of the brain and nervous
system, making II a 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.
It's flavor Is charming and being
fully and thoroughly cooked at the
factory 1t is served instantly with
cream.
The signature Of the brain worker
spoken of, G. w. Post. Is to be seen
on each genuine package OF Grape
Nuts.
Look In each package for copy Of
the famous little book, "The Road TO
MELVILLE"
