AS broad rule, tea ought not to be

The sailing Of meat generally renders
1t less digestible, but the fat of pork is an
exception to this rule. The dyspeptic

find fat bacon wholesome food.

IN AN OLD TRUNK.
Baby Finds Bottle of Carbolic Acid
and Drinks It.

While the mother was unpacking an
old trunk little IS months old baby
got hold of bottle of carbolic acid
while playing on the floor and his stom-
ach was SO badly burned it was feared
he would not live for he could not eat
ordinary foods. The mother says in
telling Of the case:
1T was all two doctors could do to
save him as 1t burnt his throat and
stomach SO bad that for two months
after he took the poison nothingwould
lay on his stomach. Finally took him
into the country and tried new milk
and that was no better for him. His
Grandma finally suggested Grape-Nuts.
and l am thankful adopted the food
for he commenced to get better right
away and would not eat anything else.
He commenced to get fleshy and his
cheeks like red roses and now he Is en-
tirely well.
Il took him to Matamoras on a visit
and every place we went to stay to eat
he called for Grape-Nuts and would
have to explain how he came to call for
1t as II was his main food.
"The names Of the physicians who at
tended the baby are DR.. Eddy Of this
town and DR.. Geo. Gale of Newport, O /,

THE NEPHEW CAUGHT ON.

A naval officer, recently returned from
the isthmus of Panama, according to the

story concerning the wealthiest man on
the isthmus:
"Senor NJ is known all over the 18th.
mus as the stingiest man who ever lived.
He will have no lights in his house except
candles, and the lone candle in his sit
ting-room is not burned at night when he
is talking to visitors and is not compelled
to have light.
'The old man has nephew who makes
the money fly. A short time ago he calle,!
on his uncle at night. While they were
talking the old man blew out his candle
What did you do that for!' the young
ster asked.
"'Why, we don't need the light while
we are talking the uncle replied.
while the uncle was talking earnestly
the boy began to shuttle about in the dark
Much annoyed by the interruption, the
old man said: What are you doing!'
Only just taking off my trousers the
boy replied. Il don't need them in the
dark and want to keep from wearing them

Though Andrew Carnegie's English Is
singularly elegant and pure, he has at
his command a weird Scotch dialect, says
the Minneapolis Tribune.
Mr.. Carnegie is a student of Scotch
words and idioms. He likes to point out
the oddities and freaks of his native
tongue. Recextly, at dinner party in
New York, he SAID to young woman:

Scotland when we say person is just

''But what is wowf!"
"Wowf is nook or sal That is to say,
