A writer in the October 81 issue
of Harper's Weekly makes plea for
the scientific regulation of food. 1t
is a striking fact. he points out. that
science, which has weighed the moon
and measured the orbits of the plan
cts and split the atom into electrons,
has not yet been able convincingly to
tell man what is and what is not his
proper food. And yet it is evident to
every intelligent observer that a very
large proportion of men and women
are poisoning themselves every day,
running their bodies and their minds
shortening their lives. and bringing
upon themselves pain and misery
through eating and drinking sub
stances and quantities that are not
fitted for human assimilation. Re
formers are at work everywhere, but
the reformer who could, with author
ity. show humanity what it should eat
and drink would surely do more good
than n whole army of wiseacres tink-
erins at the effects of the evil. What
the world needs is an authoritative
science of foOi."

Dr. George F. Shrady tells of e
woman whom he characteriZes as de.
serving of some sort of medal.
"She was afraid that an insdious
disease had laid hold Of her" said
DR.. Shrady. and wanted such an eX-
animation made as would settle the
question. Such an examination, if
made by experts, would cost her sew
eral hundred dollars.
so she applied for life insurance
amounting to 100000. AS she is a
woman of great wealth and could
easily pay the premium on such a
large policy, the insurance people sent
physicians to her who made thor
ough examination into her health.
They reported favorably, and the in.
surance company was ready to issue
the large policy.
Then the woman, her mind at rest
regarding her physical condition.
calmly remarked that she had chang
ed her mind and did not want the in
surance Clever, eh?-New York

"JUST RUN ACROSS"

enough to stumble upon the right
way out of the difficulty just as a

day happened to run across demon
stration of Postum Food Coffee at one

of GrapeNuts as well and there tried
them again and found they agreed
with me perfectly. For months ]

Reads Like a Miracle.

Friarspoint, Miss, Nov. 30.-The
Butler case still continues to be the
talk OF the town. Mr.. G. l.. Butler, the
father of the little boy, says:
The doctor said my boy had disease
of the spinal cord. and treated him
for two months, during which he got
worse all the time. Finally the doctor
told me he did not know what was the
trouble. The boy would wake up dur
ing the night and say that he was
dying. He would be nervous and trem-
bling and would want TO run from the
house. saying he saw ugly things
which frightened him. After we had
tried everything else, read an adver-
tisement of Dodd's Kidney Pills as a
cure for Nervous Troubles. | pur-
chased some and used them until he
nad taken altogether eight boxes when
he was sound and well with not sim
gle symptom of the old trouble. This
was some months ago. and | feel sure
that he is permanently cured. We owe
to Dodd's Kidney Pills all the credit
FOR his restoration to good health"

Bishop Potter Tells a Humorous Story

Bishop Potter has fund of humor
that makes his stories extremely en-

following:
when one has lived for years in
America without any special title in
ordinary conversation. it is not easy
to become accustomed to being hailed
as my lord whenever any service is
rendered. During my various trips
to Europe | found 1t impossible to go
anywhere or do anything without be-
ing 'lorded right and left. At last
| was in fair way of becoming spoil

home after a run abroad, and while
descending the gangplank met a
friend, an old vestryman of mine. He
was hurrying on board to receive his
wife and daughters. Pausing midway
up the plank, he graspcd my hand and
shouted:
why. hellow. Bish! How are
you?' '-Harpcr's Weekly.

lmmensitY of London.

Does anybody know London, even
along one single level of its multitud-
nous planes of interest?
No bank manager knows all the
banks. No cabman knows all the the
aters and places of entertainment. No
policeman knows all the police, the
county and the coroners' courts. No
news agent knows all the publications.
No fiddler knows all the bands. No
gourmet knows all the restaurants. No
postman knows all the postoffices.
There is too much of London to be
learned in an ordinary lifetime. Re
porters who have been visiting every
corner of the metropolis for years find
it necessary to look up their directions
on the map. and even then the odds
are that they will be in doubt as to the
best means of getting there.-London

Peruna cures catarrh permanently. It
