TOLD SECOND HAND.


A bright young woman OF Coin, Iowa
who keeps her eyes open tells an inter
csting and true story of her chum's
experience with food.
She says she had nervous dys-
pepsia for several years and when an
attack came on she would go to a
physician and get some relief up to
last year when she had the Grip which
left her very weak and then her stom-
ach collapsed and refused to retain
anything but the very simplest foods.
Soon she could not eat even those and
for seven days she had no nOurishment
but raw egg and milk and she was told
by a physician that Il change of air
and scene might restore her to partial
health but she would never again be
well and would probably die Of con-
sumption of the bowels.
"She always complained of terrible
distress after eating which was soon
followed by vomiting yet she was 50
hungry all the time that she would try
to eat One day she read an article
about Grape Nuts and asked her father
to get some and he went outand bought
n packaCe She took tablespoonful
moistened with a little milk. The taste
was delicious and satisfying and to
every ones surprise there was alb
soIutely no pain or trouble in her stom-
ach after eating it.
after a couple of hours she called
for some more Grape-Nuts and this
time the amount was doubled and soon
after eating it she fell into sound.
natural sleep, sleeping for several
hours. something she had not done
since her illness without the aid of
morphine. She continued to use
Grape-Nuts alone for one week inn
proving RAPIDLY all the time and then
began to increase her diet as her re-
turning strength and appetite made
this possible.
-Four months from the time she first
commenced the use of Grape Nuts she
became a comparatively healthy girl
quite strong and vigorous, eating, sleep
ing and working much better than she
had done for years. She ana al OF

Be a Supreme Deputy.
Exposed by High official-object Is
Exposed by High official-Obiect Is
Mystery.

Waterville, Me, Sept 3.-(SpeciaD. -
The members of the local lodge OF
Good Templars consider they have
good grounds for believing that the
gentleman who gave his name as cap
tain Mark Larkin and who claimed to
be Il supreme deputy out on a tour OF
inspection, is not what he represented
himself to be when he visited the lodge
here about Il week ago. At the time of
his visit it is claimed that he did not
show the proper credentials and that
he gave only the subordinate lodge
pass word. This aroused the suspicious
of some of the members, as the lodge
here is we'll posted on all the routine
matters of the order and includes many
high officials in its membership.
AS everything was apparently not all
right, the visitor was not given all of
the hOnorS worthy of the office which
he claimed to hold but only such as ne
showed himself entitled to have. When
asked to make 4 few remarks it is said
that he severely scored the lodge for Its
neglect and appeared to be consider
ably indignant over the way he had
been treated. Some of the members at
the time believed him to be all that he
represented and were inclined to side
with him, but others who were better
posted explained the situation as it APP
pcarcd to them at the time. They
claimed that they had done all that was
necessary under the circumstances and
that to secure more favors the visitor
would have TIC show himself worthy of
them beyond a reasonable doubt.
The visitor plainly did rot like the
drift of things and did not have much
hesitation of expressing his feelings on
the matter, according to the reports of
prominent members Of the lodge. How
SomcVer he was not received with open
arms or accepted unrcservcdly fer what
he represented himself 20 be.
An investigation was started ;mme-
diately after the visit and some inter-
csting things were learned. 1t seems
that the captain had walked from An
Sustl to VasSalboro and from there to
North Nassalboro, expecting to lind a
lodge in session, as it was the regular
expressed his opinion of this in rather
decided terms, from what can be
learned, and, in the meantime, procured
some crackers and cheese for Il lunch.
w. |. Stirling, a prominent member of
the lodge here, says that when he
asked the visitor how he happened to
have the title of captain he said be-
cause he had organized an indepen-
dent company in Chicago, during the
Spanish-American war. This had not
been accepted by the government, how
ever, so he had never been commission
ed. Mr.. Stirling also says that Capt.
Larfin claimed to be a 32d degree
Mason, and to be a member of several
other orders.
He had the subordinate order pass
word for the quarter when here and it
