for the American championship, and he
plays W. A. Larned, the present cham
pion, today. This is the fourth time
that an English player has been within
single match Of the national title,
but Doherty is considered more dan
gerous than Goodbody, Eaver. or his
brother. who have all got thus far only
to meet defeat, because of his consistent
work, both in this and other tourna-
ments this year. He has yet to lose a
match to an American player.
Clothier ran W and placed sharply.
The angle Of his shots was excellent.
and he turned them down so that
they bounced but little Both men
| seemed a little nervous, and were ap-
parently playing safe and fencing for
an opening. Doherty came up regularly
in the first game he served. but after
that he stayed back most of the time.
| On Clothier's serve he did not make the
ball drop fast enough and tried to pass
/ altogether too high. This was Just TO
the Americans liking. for he kills beau

In the stroke analysis Clothier was as

made only half as many mistakes as the

Clothier lost two service gahnes in each

FARM MEMORIES
Come Back in Food.

How often good appetite and a crack
ing good meal will bring back memories
of old days on the farm. mother says:
MY eldest son who has always had n
weak stomach was finally compelled to
give up his position.
Il thought | could nurse him back to
health and began feeding him Grape
Nuts for breakfast, and after n short time
he formed such a liking for it that | con-
cluded TO give it to him for supper too.
He wanted me TO prepare it even oftenrr
but | did not do 40 for | was afraid he
would take a dislike to the food by getting
too much Of it and felt certain it would
help him if he would only continue its use
) He began TO pick up rapidly and now
he is well and strong again and has gone
back to business and he holds with honor
a position that is very trying to the brain.
Only yesterday he said to me Grape Nuts
has certainly done wonders for me-; would
not pass a day without it and it has such
n fine taste, too. II puts me in mind Of
how we used TO enjoy food on the farm
Il first saw GrapeNuts at luncheon
one day at friends house and "a soon
ms tasted il | formed liking for it. My
friend had formerly been sick, but now
she lives almost entirely upon Grape
Nuts and she is also building UP a delicate
little daughter upon the food, and the
story she told me of what Grape Nuts
had done for both of them was certainly
remarkable" Name given 10y Postum CO..
