Cod fishing is done with dories and

another in the ships waist, economizing
space thereby.
Each dory takes two men, and the
whole crew, except the captain and the
cook, go off i'll them every suitable day,
and set the travis in the water outward
from the ship like spokes from the hub of
wheel Travis are long lines, each
with 5000 hooks attached at intervals OF

smaller fish, either herring, caplin, or
squid, that the cod affects The travis
are anchored at each end, baited in the
lay, left lying over night and are stripped
Of their accumulation of fish next morn
ing, being baitcd again when ''over-
hauled
The fish are taken to the vessel in the
lories, eviscerated, washed and sailed.
This routine continues until the bait is
exhausted and then the vessel returns
home, lands the fish, takes more bait and
salt, and goes ont again. At st. Pierre
her catch is taken in hand by the graviers
and women who submerge it in crates
until the salt has been washed off. Then
they scrub each fish with q hard, coarse
brush, and pile them in heaps to drain.
This done, they are next spread on the
beaches to dry i'll the sunlight and air.
The beaches consist Of several acres of
fiat ground, covered with basalt stones
worn round by the motion Of the sea
for ages.
These stony fields surround st. Pierre
md thousands Of cod are displayed there
On a fine day. Every evening. or if fog
or rain threatens, the fish are gathered
ND again and are covered with tarpaulins.
The process is repeated until the fish are
quite dry and hard. Dry fish are piled in
round stacks, the rest in oblong ones,
When a sufficient quantity to load a YES
sci is obtained it is packed into her hold

do any good, then is the time to make
a turn over in the diet, for that's Ma

food isn't the kind required

railroad work, much Of it being office
work Of a trying nature. Meal times
We're our busiest, and eating too much
and too quickly of food such as is
commonly served in hotels and restau-
rants, these together with the seden-
tary habits were not long in giving
me dyspepsia and stomach trouoie
which reduced my weight from 2Oo 10
100 pounds.
."There was little relish in any food
and none of it seemed to do me any
good It seemed the more [ ate the
poorer I got and was always hungry
before another meal, no matter how
much I had eaten.
"Then I commenced a fair trial OF
Grape Nuts and was surprised now

Charles Salak Says Mrs. Christine Jonas
Of Racine Alienated Her Daughters
Affections from Him.

Racine, Wis, June 6.-[Special. Mrs
Christina Jonas, widow Of Charles Jonas
who served from 1891 to 1894 as lieu.
tenant governor OF the state, and later as
United States minister to Prague, is de-
PENDANT in a suit for $4,000, brought
by her son-in-law, Charles J. Salak, who
claimed Mrs. Jonas alienated her daugh'
ter's affections from him.
The suit followed an action for divorce

charges. Not until few days ago could
Salak be found and service made upor
him in the divorce action.
SaIak married the lieutenant governors

sided in Manitowoc, where Salak was en-
gagged in business.
