Many Americans suffer with weak
stomachs and more or less illness be

pie and healthful plan of breakfast

A little fruit
A dish OF Grape-Nuts and cream.
One or two soft eggs
A cup of Postum Food Coffee and per-
haps a piece of hard toast
A man says. II couldn't go on that

One or two DAYS trial viii teach him
big volume of facts and make him
feel fit as a lord" There is a deep
underlying and scientific reason. The
best argument. however. is the actual
experience with such breakfasts.

Made Useless for His Work.

London. Jan. 6.-Ian Maclaren, in an

useless for his natural work. On the

cefve that education, however advanced
or costly. which his talents deserve.

Ugly Hindoo Women.

The men among the Hindoos of Bonn
bay are by all odds handsomer than
the women. the fashion among the lat
ter of wearing in the left nostril huge
hoop of silver adorned with precious
stones not tending to enhance the
modicum of beauty they already pos
sess. This ring is often so large that
the mouth and chin are covered by it.
The married women also chew the
leaves of the betel palm. and so their
teeth and lips are stained vivid and
disagreeable yellow.
Caste. that strong divider of class, is
indicated on the women by stripes of
various colors on the forehead. Their
arms. which are mostly bare, are fanci-
fully tattooed. and their toes and
ankles are ornamented with silver ban
giles and rings. This latter ornamental
ton is shared by both sexes. In down
right ugliness many of these women
approach closely an American Indian
squaw.

brother was prosecuting attorney, and
he was against me. The judge was
his brother-in-law. and he tried the

sooner than pay the fine. but when
came to be locked up the jailer said to
me:
You'd better pay. I'm the father

Modelling a How.


Travellers received by the sultan of
Morocco were at one time required to
make the customary obeisance of the
country. but that ceremonial Is now
omitted. The reason, according to La
dy Grove in her Seventy lone Days
Camping" goes back to slight social
awkwardness involved in carrying out
that prescription.
A distinguished naturalist had been
presented to the sultan. and as he
bowed his head to the ground, instead
of supporting himself with his hands.
he placed them behind his back: con-
sequently his forehead came against
the marble floor with a loud bang, and
he had some difficulty in recovering
himself
The sultan was amazed. HAS not
the gentleman had the honor of enter
ing the presence of his own sovereign"
he asked another visitor later.
Probably he has had that honor,
your majesty" was the answer.
Then" said the sultan, "he should
have learned the art of making saluta-
tons without the occurrence of such
accidents"
Thereupon his majesty learned with
establishment that this lowly form of
obeisance is not observed at European
courts. and he Immediately decreed
that none but the usual customs de-
manded by European sovereigns should
be required of Europeans when they
entered or left his presence.
