SAFEST FOOD
In Any Tizne Of Trouble f. Grape-Nuts.

Food to rebuild the strength and that
is pre- digested must be selected when
one is convalescent. At this time there
is nothing SO valuable as Grape Nuts
for the reason that this food is all
nourishment and is also all digestibIe
nourishment A woman who used il
says:
Some time age I was very i'll with
typhoid fever. SO i'll everyone thought
I would die, even myself. 1t left me
SO weak I could not properly digest
food Of any kind and I also had much
bowel trouble which left me a weak,
helpless wreck.
II needed nourishment as badly as
anyone could. but none of the tones
helped nue until finally tried Grape
Nuts food morning and evening. This
not only supplied food that I thought
delicious as could be but it also made
me perfectly well and streng again so
/ can do all my homework. sleep well,
can eat anything without any trace of
bowel trouble and for that reason alone
Grape-Nuts food is worth it's weight in
gold" Name given by Postum Co.,
Battle Greek, Mich.
Typhoid fever like some other dis
eases attacks the bowels and frequently
sets up bleeding and makes them for
months incapable of digesting the
starchos and therefore pre- digested
Grape-Nuts is invaluable for the we'll
known reason that in Grape-Nuts all
the starches have been transformed
INTO grape sugar. This means that the
first stage of digestion has been me-
chanlcaily accomplished in Grape Nuts
feod at the factories and therefore any
one, no matter how weak the stomach,
can handle 1t and grow strong, for all
tile nouriahment is still there.
There's sound reason and 10 days
trial proves.

1.-THE Johnstown Flood. {"

A rare treat awaiting theater-
goers will be the appearance in
this city of Edward Houghton s
excellent company in the soul
stirring melo-dramatic success,
"The Johnstown Flood" found
ed on the facts of the late fatal
ity. The dramatization was made
by Charles Townsend, a noted
dramatic author, who has several
stage successes to his credit, and
he has made a strong, thrilling
play that has met with instant
favor. The action of the play is
located near JOhnstOwn, Pa, be-
fore and after the flood in the
summer of 1889, and deals with
facts and incidents that are of
National interest. The dialogue
is brisk, happy blending of the
comedy and pathos, while the eli
makes and situations are dra-
matte and sensational. The cast
is composed of several stage ce-
lebrities well-known in this city,
assisted by competent players.
The play is in four acts, with nu-
merous beautiful realistic scenes,
among which are the following:
the famous horseshoe bend on
the Pennsylvania railroad; the
Cambria iron works, the fatal
city before the food the South
Fork flood, day express, Penn
sylvania railroad telegraph sta
ton: terrific rainstOrm OF real
water, the bursting of the dam
and the wonderful, thrilling, stir
ring, pulse-quickening flood
scene. The entire scenic, electrl-
cal and mechanical equipment is
carried complete.

For the Schoolgirl.

School days are near at hand
and little girls must have their
fall outfit of clothes. If mothers
are sensible they will make it a
simple one.
1t is quite remarkable how few
clothes are necessary for a school
girl if they are chosen wisely,
Yet she may always look well
dressed and neat.
A good warm suit is the essen
tial part of the wardrobe. There
are three kinds Of material that
are best to choose frOm-a good
heavy homespun, a hard finish
navy blue serge and a dust color
cordurOy-either one will wear
well. Have the suit made with
loose jacket so that there is
plenty of freedom for the grow
ing girl.
For every day a shirt waist of
shepherds plaid with a neat
turnover collar, black tie and
soft sash belt is very useful. For
best nothing is prettier than
white and nothing is more ser
viceable, as it may be washed
and always kept fresh and clean,
White wash silk makes the daint-
lest kind of a waist.
Few people realize what a COM
fort boomers are in cold weather.
They take the place of heavy I'M
derskirts that get twisted and
in the way and are light, as well
as warm, especially for children
with their short skirts.
With this neat warm suit the
comfortable boomers, strong SEN
sible boots, and a snug little bea-
yer hat, any mother may be sure
her daughter is both well, sensl-
bly, and prettily dressed and need
not fear even the coolest wealth
er.

The Work of Ocean Currents.

We have been told of fossil rain ano
fossil wind, and Prof. Stanislas Meunier
has now pointed out the existence of
certain rocks of fossil ocean currents.
In many localities the stratified sand
and sandstone show peculiarly curved
and interlaced layers This interlaced
structure is now to be seen in formation
by the river Seine, and the rivers of the
ocean have transplanted sand and mud
10 deposit in their windings in a similar
way. II the seas were dried up the
course and history of the Gulf stream
and other currents might be traced in
these deposits. The sand and sandstone
of interlaced structure are found from
widely separated geological epochs, and
an interesting lesson taught by them is
that the ocean currents and their work
have been substantially the same at all
periods of the earth's evolution.
