Tho Simple Dish That Keeps Cne Wig

When the doctor takes his own
medicine and the grocer eats the food
he recommends some confidence comes
to the observer.
A Grocer OF Ossian, Ind, had a
practical experience with food worth
anyone's attention.
He says: six years ago I became
so weak from stomach and bowel
trouble that | was finally compelled
to give up all work in my store. and
in fact all sorts of work, for about four
years. The last year was confined to
the bed nearly ALI Of the time, and
much of the time unable to retain
food of any sort on my stomach. My

tinually and l lost in weight from
16o pounds down to IS pounds.

I changed treatment entirely and
started in on Grape-Nuts and cream
for nourishment. l used absolutely
nothing but this for about three
months. slowly improved until |
got out OF bed and began to move

Il have been improving regularly
and now in the past two years have
been working about fifteen hours q
day in the store and never felt better
in my life.
During these two years :. have
never missed a breakfast of Grape
Nuts and cream, and often have it
two meals day, but the entire break
fast is always made Of Grape-NIs g ard
cream alone.
Since commencing the use of
Grapefruit l have never used any
thing to stimulate the action OF the
bowels. a thing had to do for years,
but this food keeps me regular and in
fine shape, and am growing stronger
ana heavier every day.
MY customers. naturally, have been
interested and l am compelled to an
swer great many questions about
Grape-Nuts.
Some people would think that
simple dish Of Grape-Nuts and cream
would not carry one through to the
MONDAY meal but 1t will and in the

HISTORIC FAKES
Capture Money Of American Sishtseers
in London.


in London.
Not long ago a more or less official
investigation was made into the his
tory of the picturesque Fleet street
barber shop in London that for years
has been described by its proprietor
as formerly the palace of Henry VIII.
and Cardinal Wolsey." The investigat-
ing committees findings" have Just
been made public, says the correspond
ent of the Washington Post, and they
prove conclusively that the place never
was palace" at all and that neither
the much married sovereign nor his
much-tried prelate ever lived there.
This Is an uncommonly interesting
development, because it means that Of
the three London establishments that
Americans practically support because
they believe them to be interesting
links with the past, two are absolute
fakes" And 1t has been pointed out
in the London press only recently that
while the third of these places has real
claims to historic interest, its right to
the distinction on the strength of
which it has been gold mine to its
owner Is open to lot of doubt.
To the thousands of Americans who
have visited and patronized the quaint
little waste paper establishment in
Portsmouth street. Lincoln's Inn
Fields, that Is called "The Old Curl
oslty Shop Immortalized by Charles
Dickens" it may be rather shock to
hear that-its proprietor's assurances
to the contrary notwithstanding
building is no more the one where Lit
tie Nell and her grandfather lived than
the Fleet street barber shop Is a for
mer residence Of Bluff King Hal.
And though it seems pity to upset
a pleasing tradition, investigation
proves that while THE Old Cheshire
Cheese" in Fleet street may have been
visited by DIR. Samuel johnson, it al
most certainly was not one Of his IA
vorite haunts and not the scene of his
favorite symposia with Boswell and
Oliver Goldsmith. Yet probably nine
out OF every ten Americans who visit
London make point of either lunch
ing or dining at the Cheese" in or
der to see "Johnson's Seat" there, just
as nine out of every ten pay visits to
and increase the revenues of the "Old
Curiosity Shop and the palace of
Henry VIII. and Cardinal Wolsey."

counsel for Daire. He objected 10 the
action on the ground that the nfiida
Wit upon which the rule Of the court
was used was not within the juris
diction of the court, and further that
the affidavit did nor set forth whai
constituted the alleged contempt,
The taking of testimony was ther
begun. The first witness was Con
stable George Holman, who testified
10 serving the order on Daire. Lawyer
Alan H. Strong, counsel for lis
father, Judge Strong. then went on
the stand. He stated that he made
the affidavit after reading the issues
of the Times containing the criticism.
Prosecutor George Berdine was the
next witness. He testified that, pre-
ceeding Ooley's trial, he (Berdine)
hnd had conference with Mr.. and
Mrs Kavanagh, their daughter,
County Detective Ferguson and Detec-
tive Huff, of Perth Amboy. He said
that, at the conference, he found.
from the girls own statement, that
Ooley was not guilty of the alleged
crime. When asked why she had said
that he was, the prosecutor said, the
girl replied that Coley had told her SO.
Prosecutor Berdine Than told of a
visit to the home of Judge Strong,
several days prior to the trial, accom-
panied by J. e. Stricken and Robert
Adrain, counsel for Coley. He testi-
fad that he then stated it was his
opinion that lie could not prove Ooley
guilty. He said an understanding
was reached that, if Coley pleaded
non wilt, ho would be fined. The fine
was first fixed at 800 and then, upon
Adrnin S statem that Ooley was a
poor man, the amount was reduced to
SIS.
Lawyer Adrain, the next witness,
was called TO tell what he knows of
the Colcy case. The trial is still in
progress.
