"SUM MER FOOD"
Has Other Advantages.

Many people have tried the food
Grape-Nuts simply with the idea of
avoiding the trouble of cooking food in
the hot months.
All of these have found something be-
side the ready cooked food idea, for
Grape Nuts is a scientific food that
tones uD and restores a sick stomach
as well as repairs the waste tissue in
brain and fferve centres.
"For two years I had been a sufferer
from catarrh of the stomach due to i'm
proper food and to relieve this condi-
ton l had tried nearly every prepared
food on the market without any sue
cess until months ago my wife pur-
chased a box of Grape-Nuts thinking
it would be a desirable cereal for the
summer months.
1--WE soon made discovery, we were
enchanted with the delightful flavor of
the food and to my surprise l began to
get well. My breakfast now consists of
a little fruit; 4 teaspoonfuls of Grape
Nuts: a cup of Postum. which I prefer
to coffee: graham bread or toast and
two boiled eggs. I never suffer the
least distress after eating this and my
stomach is perfect and general health
fine. Grape-Nuts is a wonderful
preparation. 1t was only a little time
after starting on it that wife and I
both felt younger, more vigorous, and
in all ways stronger. This has been
our experience.
p. S. The addition of little salt in
place of sugar seems to me to improve

LOST IN FOG.
New York Yacht Clubs Tues
day Run Was a FizzIe.
The Boats Simply Drifted Around All
Day in the Sound.
A Great Lack of Wind and Great
Plenty of Fog.

Vineyard Haven, Mass, July 2i.-The
New York Yacht Club attempted to
carry out it's program of 37-mile run
from Newport to this port, today, but
up 10 S o'clock, tonight not single
yacht had shown UP at the finish. The
Columbia was last seen about $50 p. M.
leading the fleet. at which time she was
off Cuttyhunk. Soon after a thick fog
shut in and the wind dropped, leaving
the yachts tapping about at the en-
trance of Vineyard sound. The day
was very unsatisfactory one from the
early morning. After thick fog, which
short thunder shower cleared away,
the yachts left Newport harbor, about
10 o'clock, this morning, in a light
northeasterly breeze. On getting out
side they found the wind had shifted to
the southeast, but it did not have
strength of more than four or five
knots
Within is minutes after the start the
| wind died away almost completely
| leaving the boats almost motionless.
The Reliance and Constitution managed
| to pick up a faint breeze by holding in
| toward the mouth of Seaconnet river
while the Columbia went wind hunting
| off shore.
For three hours the boats had breeZes
| from all directions but very light. The
Reliance and Constitution managed to
| work down nearly to Buzzard bay,
| where they We're becalmed for an hour.
Meantime the Columbia, followed by
the Vigilant picked up a southerly
| breeze and slipped out ahead.
The Columbia rounded Vineyard
sound lightship, IL miles from the start
at Sol. the Vigilant at sos. The Reli-
ance managed to get out of the calm
at the entrance of BuzZards bay, and
| was timed around the lightship at 5:23.
At that time the Constitution was lying
absolutely motionless at two miles
| aStern.
| At $50 fog came up and shut out
| the yachts from sight. The wind which
| had hauled to the northeast, also died
away and at o'clock. tonight, the re-
gatta committee gave up hope of seeing
! the yachts and made preparations to
| return into the harbor.
1t was expected at s o'clock, tonight,
| that the tenders of three cup yachts
would pick them up some time during
| the night and tow them into port, and
| that the other yachts of the fleet would
| anchor.

A Kidney Remedy That Cannot

Ninty-nlne persons 10 hundred who feel a
burning sensation when they pass water, and
occasionally sharp pains at other times, make
the fatal mistake OF regarding the pain as the
only trouble, and not as a symptom Of the
advance of kidney disease.
There is only one way TO regard these
warming They mean danger near or fu-
ture. Stop them. DR. Pettngills Kidney
Wort Tablets positively stop painful urina-
ton. They relieve in a very few days and,
most important of all. they bring the kidneys
back to health.
