WRONG TRACK
Had To Switch.

Even the most careful person is apt
to get on the wrong track regarding
food sometimes and has to switch
over.
When the right food is selected the
host Of ails that come from improper
food and drink disappear, even where
the trouble has been of lifelong stand
ing.
From a child I was never strong
and had a capricious appetite and I
was allowed to eat whatever l fancied
rich cake, highly seasoned food, hot
biscuit, etc.-so 1t was not surprising
that my digestion was soon out Of
order and at the age Of twenty-three I
was on the verge Of nervous prostra-
ton. l had no appetite and as l had
been losing strength (because didn't
get nourishment in my daily food to
repair the wear and tear on body and
brain) had no reserve force to fall
back on, lost flesh rapidly and no med
icine helped me.
"Then 1t was a wise physician or
dered Grape-Nuts and cream and saw
to It that gave this food (new to me)

what he was about, because got bet
ter by bounds from the very first.
That was In the summer and by win
ter was In better health than ever
before in my life, had gained in flesh
and weight and felt like a new person
altogether in mind as well as body,
all due to nourishing and completely
digestible food, Grape-Nuts. :.
"This happened three years ago and
never since then have had any but
perfect health, for stick to my
Grape Nuts food and cream and still
think it delicious. eat 1t every day..
I never tire of this food and ] can en-
10y a saucer of Grape-Nuts and cream
when nothing else satisfies my appe-
tite and it's surprising how sustained
and strong q small sauc@ful will
make one feel for hours" Name CIV

the splendid weapon was given to the
museum by the daughter OF Gen.
Price, Mrs. Peter j. Willis OF Mis-
souri,. The golden scabbard is indeed
q work of art. 1t is fashioned to rep
resent the products of the states OF
Louisiana and Missouri The lower
portion shows the joints of the corn
stalk of Missouri, and the sugar cane
OF louisiana The guard depicts the
hempstalk and tobacco leaf OF Mis-
souri, and the cotton bloom and boil OF
Louisiana. The head of the hilt is the
coat-of-arms of Louisiana-a pelican
feeding her young, and the thrust
reception presents the coat-of-arms OF
Missouri The grip is of ivory-an
ear of corn-the product Of both
states.
Turning from this gorgeous sight,
the eye of the visitor falls upon
queer object. 1t is small piece of
woven bedticking and the card attach
ed shows that it's history has been
thrilling one. It is portion OF the
rope that was used by Gen. John Nor
gan when he and five of his men es-
capped from an Ohio prison.
On the wall near the morsel OF rope,
stoutly framed and covered with
thick glass, are the rusty, Wondering
fragments Of a caseknife, employed
by Morgan and his men in effecting
their escape. Besides the old knife

of the Ohio prison, who recovered and
sent the knife south. It was found
by him in the air chamber beneath

which he carried all through the war.
The battle flag that draped his coffin
reposes side by side with glittering
pair of solid gold spurs bestowed on
him by the ladies of Baltimore at the
close of successful campaign.
But of greater human interest than
all else is faded, tattered confeder-
ate uniform, on it's front series OF
dark stains-the life blood of Jackson.
1t was worn by Rev. DR.. James Power
Smith, then a member of Jackson's
staff. now editor of the Central Pres
byterian and commander of Lee camp

While Jackson was being borne on
litter from the place where he was
wounded one of the bearers was shot
and stumbled, throwing the wounded
man to the ground. DR.. Smith caught
the sufferer in his arms and broke MS

stained with his blood. DR.. Smith then

An idol of the confederacy was Gen.
]. E. B. Stuart, the dashing cavalry
leader, who lost his life at Yellow Tav-
ern. near Richmond. while endeavor-
ing to prevent the federal troops from
entering the capital city. AS famous
as Stuart was the plumed hat that ne
wore. and this now reposes in the con-
federate museum, its picturesque
feather dropping sadly, as though In
detection at the fate Of its brave wear
er and the cause for which he fought.
Beside the faded white hat are
Stuart's old haversack, the tin basin
in which he daily performed his ablu-
tons, his gloves, boots, pistols, saddle
and bride.
Ali of these reminders of long ago
are on the first floor Of the museum,
where they attract instant attention,
but no less conspicuous are many 9TH
er articles, among them battle nag

fantry. made from the bridal dress OF
Mrs. A. P. Hill, and one from the we'd
ding robes of Mrs. Catherine Holt, pre-
sented to the Fifteenth Virginia infan-

Scattered through every room are
relics of prison life in the shape OF
most ingenious little articles fashion
ed by prisoners of war to relieve the
monotony of their lives. They came
from persons north and south, some
having been made in Fort Warren, Bos-
ton. The most striking is a breast
pin and earrings carved by federal
officer from a beef bone. Sets OF
chessmen and trinkets of various
| kinds make up the balance of the col

One of the most cherished and
undoubtedly the handsomest and
most valuable possessions Of the man.

Hich Prices for Old Snuff Boxes.

When one notices the extraordinar,
ily large sums which have been spent
on the acquisition of snuff boxes one is
less surprised that the habit of snuff
taking has been abandoned than one
would be if it were to be revived. Two
thirds of the Hawkins sale, composed
mainly of snuff boxes, yields the enor-
nous amount Of G127,000, and of this

On the summit of hill in the center
of the historic capital of the confed-
eracy, whence the eye can trace for
miles the winding river James, stands
the white House of the Confedera-
cy," the home for four years, marred
by battles and bloodshed, Of Jefferson
Davis, president of the confederate
states.
Though the bitterness of those days
has passed away, ard men have well
nigh forgot that this country was ever
else than one, this historic mansion,
rejuvenated and rendered well nigh
impervious to the ravages Of time,
stands like a watch tower on hill,
containing within It's walls countless
souvenirs of the mighty struggle, in
tended not to inflame the minds of the
rising generation and of generations
yet unborn, but to keep alive memories
of the most valiant armies that ever
faced each other on battle plain, and
to stand as a lasting monument to the
sacrifices made and hardships borne
for the sake of home and country.
From turret to foundation stone"
the mansion is filled with civil war re-
minders. Room after room is crowded
with objects of the most intense inter-
est to ALL no matter whether they
wore the blue or the gray. This is
amply attested by the constant and
ever increasing stream of visitors
from beyond Mason's and Dixon's line
who spend hours wandering through
the halls and lofty rooms, viewing
with deepest interest the tattered uni
forms worn by heroes of forty years
ago, the pistols, swords, torn battle
flags and numberless cabinets contain
ing the flotsam and jetsam Of many
battle fields, interspersed with souve'
Mrs of gloomy prison walls in the
shape of fanciful designs wrought by
hapless victims Of the changing for
tunes of war.
Within handsome glass case In the
most frequented portion Of the mu-
scum are reminders Of one who was
the central figure of the confederacy
by virtue of having been its head
Jefferson Davis. The collection is
composed of his Bible, merschaum
pipe and various other articles used
constantly by him, but of greatest In
terest is the suit of clothes which he
wore when captured. The garments
are of confederate gray without insig-
mia of any kind.
Scarcely second in interest to the
mementoes of Mr.. Davis are those OF
Gen. Robert E. Lee, commander in
chief of the confederate army. These
embrace the gray uniform, old SLOUGH
hat, boots and gauntlets which he
wore when he surrendered to Gen.
Grant; also brick from the Mclean
house at Appomattox courthouse In
which the terms of surrender were
agreed upon. There are also his sword
pistols, maps used by him during the
war, and a lock of hair from the name
Of Traveller, the gallant gray horse
that carried him through so many
campaigns ~
