A watch that tells the second, min.
ute, hour, day of the week, day Of
month, and changes of moon, is q
time-piece that until recently could be
owned only by the nobility because of
the high cost The first one cost 81, 600
and was made entirely by hand and
consumed over two years time in con-
struction. About so years later Swiss
concern placed some on the market
which could be sold in this country for
about 5000 each.
This watch that has hitherto been
sold at & price which only the well-to-
do could afford has just been put on
the market at a low price and it is
watch which fills long felt want. If
a watch tells us the hour and the min
ute of the day, why should not the
same machine tell us the day of the
week, day of the month, and month of
the year? A prominent manufactures.
has realized the usefulness, if not the
actual necessity of such time-piece,
and by simplifying the mechanism and
arranging to turn them out in large
quantities, has, after several years of
work and the expenditure of large

ducing a watch thoroughly reliable in
every way. This watch is perpetual
calendar as we'll as time-piece, and
what is OF more interest to the public
is sold at price but fraction above
that of An ordinary watch of like grade.
Contrary to the superstition of the
uninitiated, it is not an intricate as
| sembly Of complicated parts, but is as
simple ~ any regular time-piece. On
the dial, in addition to the small Sec
! ord dial it has three small dials Of

of the week, another the days of the
month. while third shows the month
OF the scar. By an ingenious attach
nhent TO one of the wheels. when the
hour and minute hands show midnight,
| the sinai. hands indicating the days of
| the week and the days of the month,
move forward automatically one day,
thus saving the wearer the necessity OF
changing the calendar attachment.
| and in consequence the watch needs no
care or attention after being once cor
rectly set except to be wound regu-

large demand for this article in this
country and have arranged to market

house who, as an Introductory measure
will furnish them direct to the public,
An article that SO completely fills a
want has seldom been seen, and has
hitherto been utterly disregarded by
manufacturers. 1t can consistently be
said that for usefulness and reliability
this is one of the most attractive arti-
cles in the watch line.

merits of this watch appears elsewhere

DR.. FED HIMSELF.
Found the Food that Saved His Life.

A good old family physician with
lifetime experience in saving people
finally found himself sick unto death.
Medicines failed and - but let
him tell his own story. For the first
time In my life of sixty-one
years / am impelled to pub
licly testify to the value of largely
advertised article and / certainly
would not pen these lines except that,
what seems to me a direct act OF
Providence, saved my life and l am
impressed that it is bounden duty
to make it known.
For years I kept falling with
stomach and liver disorders until I
was reduced 20 lbs. from my nor
NAL weight. When l got too low to
treat myself, of my associate physi-
clans advised me to put my house in
order for would be quickly going the
way of all mankind. Just about that
time l was put on diet Of Grape
Nuts predigested food. Curiously
enough it quickly began to build me
up, appetite returned and in Is days
/ gained 6 lbs. That started my re-
turn to health and really saved my
life.
"a physician is naturally prejudiced
against writing such letter, but in
this case l am willing to declare It
from the housetops that the multi
piled thousands who are now suffering
as did can find relief and health a.
easily and promptly by Grape-Nuts. II
they only knew what to do. Sincerely
and Fraternally yours" Name of this

but nevertheless it is nothing like so
large as it appears here. You could
easily imagine 1t to be the Trojan
horse, large enough to hold soldiers in
armor inside of it.
The method the skillful artist hit on
to take these pictures is so easy that
any of you boys or girls who have a
camera can follow it, The photogra-
pher simply placed his camera close to
the animal, about as far above the
ground as small child's eyes would be
il 1t stood where the camera is. Thus
the effect of height is greatly increased.
You can do the same for yourself in
taking pictures of any domestic animal,
as horse, q COW or even a large dog.
You will find such experiments very in
teresting. You can give the pictures to
your parents to let them see how OBJ
jects taller than themselves appeared
to them when they were children. The
photographer says a wide angled lens
is best for these pictures because chill
dren are usually wide eyed"
When the artist put the camera close
to the ground and snapshotted an ele-
plant the effect was truly remarkable.

WHEN PAPA WAS A BOY.

When papa was little boy you really
couldn't find
In all the country roundabout child so
quick to mind.
His mother never called but once. and he
was always there:
He never made the baby cry or pulled his
sisters hair.
He never slid down banisters or made the
slightest noise
And never in his life was known to tight
with other boys.
He always rose at six o'clock and went to
bed at eight
And never lay abed till noon and never
sat up late.
He finished Latin French and Greek when
he was ten years old
And knew the Spanish alphabet as soon
as he was told.
He never, never thought of play until his
work was done;
He labored hard from break Of day until
the set of sun.
He never scraped his muddy shoes upon
the parlor floor
And never answered back his ma and
never banged the door;
But, truly. could never see" said little
Dick Molloy,
How he could never do these things and
really be boy"
