Sometime. Overlooks a Point.

Sometimes Overlooks a Point.
The physician is such a busy man
that he sometimes Overlooks a valu-
able point to which his attention may
be called by an intelligent patient who
is a thinker.
about Il year ago my attention was
called to Grape-Nuts by one Of my
PATIENTS says a physician of Cincin-
iii.
AT the time my W health WAS baG
and ! was pretty we'll rundown, but
/ saw in a minute that the theories
behind Grape-Nuts were perfect. and
II the food was all that was claimed
for 1t it was Il perfect food, so l COM
'.lenced to use Grape-Nuts with warm
milk twice ii day and in a short time
began to improve in every way and l
am now much stronger. feel so per
cent better and weigh more than 1
ever did in my life.
Il know that all of this good is due
to GrapeNuts and l am firmly con-
WINGED that the claims made for the
food are true. l have recommended
and still recommend the food to a
great many of my patients, with splen-
Gid results. and in some cases the i'm
provement Of patients on this fine food
has been wonderful.

LARGEST ENGINES EVER BUILT.
A Western Railway Adds q Pair OF

Chicago Evening Post: The Alton

The duty of these engines will be to
hat trains made up of twelve passen-
ger cars and weighing about 6OO tons'
exclusive of passengers and baggage.
Such a train will accommodate '6O peo-
pie, whose aggregate weight would not
be less than fifty-seven tons. and estl-
mating their baggage at fifteen tons.
the total weight of the train behind the
engine will be 615 tons. Such a train
will have to be hauled 110ln miles in
two and one-half hours. making two
stops and three slowdowns for railroad
crossings. This will reduce the actual
running time to two hour and twenty
four minutes. and necessitates an av-
erage running speed of forty-siX miles
an hour.
The cylinders are twenty-five inches
in diameter by twenty-eight inches

into a fashionable butterfly seaside re-

Some years ago the jack used to stand
outside the church OF a bracket over
the western arch, and as each hour
came round on the clock he struck his
Ratchet against the bell to announce the
time. The poor old Jack of carved oak
weathered many a storm outside the
building, until O n wise person, seeing
that he was being gradually Worn
away, suggested his being preserved
inside the edifice.
The Southwoid jack-in-armor is a
| curious looking parsonage. He stands
about three feet high, and at the pres

! near the beautifully carvCd and painted
old screen. He is perched well on high

An Actress Started in Her Career by
a Minister.

From New York Homes of Famous
Stage Folk" by Gustav kobbe, in Octo-
Der Metropolitan Magazine: Alice Fisher
was started on her stage career by q
clergyman. 1t was the rector of one Of
the Episcopal churches in Terre Haute.
Ind, who brought her Oh TO New York
and saw that she was properly placed IN
a dramatic school. Out in Terre Haute
she had been what is called as'mover' in
church circles. She had taught the worst
class in Sunday school, conducted the
sewing circle, been a leader in getting
up the church benefits and she managed
the tableaux and recitations besides re-
citing herself. Because of all this, when
her evident talent as a reciter decided her
to try the stage, 1t was the rector of st.
Stephens Episcopal church. Terre Haute.
who came on with her to see her safely
started in New York.
She was a very good girl: and N the

she knelt down and said her prayers un-

cut them short. Her first experience OF
the real stage was 'suping" in Lawrence

Barrett's attention. She often had spoken
to the girls at the school of Senator Voor-

THE LIBERTY BELL.
It's Removals and Travels Should Be
Forbidden by Law.

SsCs0ASbi " eoWs
Bucyrus. O., Journai; Jus now no
prominent citizen who cannot be re-
fused. no public order and no associa-
ton or popular society is asking or
preparing to ask for the loan of the
Liberty Bell for money getting or for
other exhibition purposes. 1t is a good
time, therefore, to declare by authority,
and If -necessary. by legislative author-
ity. that it shall be unlawful to remove
it from the building where it is placed
for safe keeping. The Liberty Bell
belongs to the American people. Not
ever the original Declaration of indie
pendence is a more precious and a more
highly regarded object of national VEN
Grafton than the Liberty Bell.
1t is neither impossible nor improb-
able hat for public purposes. as an OBJ
ject of national veneration, the care of
the Liberty Bell might be solicited for
exhibition. 1t ought, without antagon-
ling any esteemed person OIL public
body, to be made unlawful to remove it,
under any excuse, from the building in
which it is kept.
1t ought to be forbidden that this
great national relic should ever be put
in jeopardy by any act of remova that
might expose 1T to the dangers of trans
portation anywhere.
1t is the most valued relic the nation
has. Papers. instruments, precious
records, might be duplicated in fac
smile. The Liberty Bell never can be.
and now. when nobody is contemplate
ing the remova oil transportation of
1t for transient purposes, is a good time
to eciar by authority that it shall
be unlawful to remove 1t.

holds a unique record. He has been
arrested thirty-seven times for exceed
ing the speed limits of various cities
