THE "IN ENTION."
Grandma Found It Convenient.


 It Is remarkable what a change can engagement of food.
 Chicago mother says: Much to my surprise yesterday morning I found the enclosed letter on my desk written by my seven-year-old daughter without any suggestion from a soul, and the lit- tie letter induced me to write some- thing of our experiences
 First my son, who was very small and weak, was sent out to visit one of my sisters, and she induced hirN to start in on Grape Nuts and cream in place of the ordinary food used.
 When the boy came back after an absence of about six months we could hardly believe our eyes. He had grown over three inches in height and was an entirely different fellow In every way. always ready foP any athletic sport proposed and on the keen go all of the time, while before he only wanted to sit or lie down. and suffer greatly from headaches and general prostration.
 So we put our little girl on Grape Nuts and she grew we'll and healthy and rosy in short time.
 Then Mother, who Is S2 years old, be- gan using Grape-Nuts and would fre- quently put the food into soup or with an egg into a bowl and pour froth over it.
 She had formerly been troubled with her stomach, suffering great paSn at times; now she says the invention has cured her and she uses Grape Nuts In a variety of ways-puddings. dressing for chickens or turkeys. griddle cakes and all sorts of nice things.
 The boy has been using Grape Nuts now for about two years and has grown something over ' inches and gained about 35 pounds. and Is still improv- ing"
 The little girls letter Is too long to reproduce but it is written In a very cunning style and tells her own story of how she got over being sick and was able to go to school again, making four grades in a short time, and how we'll and healthy she felt and how much she loved the GrapeNuts.
 She heard her Mother tell her Auntie that Grape Nuts was God-send," so she thought God made Grape-Nuts. un- til she got hold of the little recipe book one day. which she found in the package. and the folks explained to her that 1t was made by some men in Battle Creek. Name given by Postum Co.,, Battle Creek, Mich. Look in pkg. for the lit- tie book The Road to Wellville."

KILLS CATARRH GERMS.
Breathe HyOmef and Be Cured of Ca-
 tarrh-Costs Nothing if It Fails.

Breathe Hyomei for a few minutes four times a day. through the neat pocket inhaler that comes with every outfit. and benefit will be seen at once Continue this treatment for a short time. and your catarrh will have been cured by Hyomei.
 There Is no roundabout way in Hyo- mei's medicinal action; 1t does not try to cure a disease of the head by put ting medicine in the stomach. It fills the air you breathe with balsamiQ healing, that soothes the irritated and smarting membrane, destroys the germs of catarrh that are present in the head and throat, and Is the only treatment that can be relied upon to cure.
 When using. Hyomei the air you breathe will be like that on the noun tains high above the sea level, filled with volatile, antiseptic fragrance that heals and cures the irritated mucous membrane of the air passages.
 This treatment has been so success full. curing 99 per cent of all who have used 1t. that Hyomei Is now sold by E. G. Fowler under an absolute guar antee to refund the money if 1t does not benefit. You run no risk whatever in buying Hyomei. If 1t did not possess unusual powers to cure, it could not be sold upon this plan.
 The complete Hyomei outfit costs $1.OO and comprises a hard rubber in- haler, bottle of Hyomei and a drop per. The inhaler will last a lifetime; and additional bottles of Hyomei can be obtained for soc.

Our Daily Sport Story

1 hastily secured my uncles money, or- derlng the men to carry 1t into the tomb telling them that my uncle | would rejoin us on the following day. At dawn the caravan started, leaving me with the dead body of my uncle How to dispose of 1t was the question. Looking around the tomb espied an iron trap-door leeading, as found when I raised it. to an underground chamber which had evidently been the abode of the priest in charge of the tomb. Raising the body, carried 1t down the stairs and laid 1t on the ground. covering 1t with shawls. then removed the bags of gold to the chamber, intending to return for them and remove them to a p1Nce of safety had carried down the last bag and when I heard the sound of hoofs Looking up, I saw 1t was my uncles horse. In the joy of the animal at seeing me 1t neighed joyfully, at the same time striking against the trap door, which fell with a clang, leaving mo In total darkness. Ascending the stairs I endeavored to raise the trap but could not It was in vain. It was immovable. Frantically I shouted and beat against the iron until exhausted and. with bleeding hands I fell on the floor of the chamber which now realized was to bo my tomb as well as that of my unfortunate kinsman. Truly, was punished for my crime. How long 1t was before death came to release me I know not. But I can- not rest until my remains are buried. Do this for mo, gracious lady. and bring peace to my troubled spirit. But. beware! Touch not the treasure. It Is accursed. It Is blood-money and will bring misfortune to the possessor. Then I awoke and found that I had been dreaming"
 The General was the first to break the silence.
 Well. my dear, it was only dream. Forget all about it."
 Two days aftterward the General accompanied by his staff, left on his regular quarterly inspection of the Province. letters, however, arrived from his wife summonng him to re- turn at once. as cholera had broken out at the Residency and had caused many deaths. especially among the natives The return journey was made with all possible speed. Mrs. Spnirs' tidings were but too true. The dread- cd disease was doing it's fell work. sparing neither young nor old
 And now comes the strange part of my story. During the Generals absence. his wife had the tomb searched The two skeletons were found as described. and the treasure The lamp. which stood in a niche at the foot of the stairs, was brought away, the remains of the men were buried and the treasure was left in the subterranean chamber. Then came the cholera epidemic.
 Among the victims was the head mahont (elephant keeper) and his son, both of whom perished in a few hours. Cne day the wife of the dead man confessed that they had reopened the chamber and stolen the treasure. The money was sent to the Direcors of the Honorable East India Company. The amount was upwards of $500OO0.
