His Beauty.

Speaking of old-time gamblers" said
Frank Todd, growing reminiscent the
other night, poor old Smoker Bill was
indeed character.
Bill was kind of heart and prided
himself on his good looks, though at
a showdown he could not win even a
consolation prize at a beauty show.
Smoker had won a bunch of coin and
after a weeks revelry found himself
late one night about on the verge.
THE gang got together and stood IN
to josh him on his homeliness. In des-
peration Bill left the crowd and started
away to walk off the tired feeling he
had.
Reaching the old Market street cut,
he came across a lone individual sit
ting there. Pulling an old navy re-
volver from his pocket, Smoker or
dered the stranger to say his prayers
and to make them short. For said
Bill, I'm going to kill you.
" I'll give you what have, the man
pleaded, but please don't hurt me.
Your money is no good to me- re-
piled Smoker but hurry up and pray.
why do you want TO kill me? l
never harmed a man in my life
"Well, I'll tell you.' said Smoker
I made up my mind tonight that if
/ ever ran across a man as homely
looking as am that 1 would kill him.
You're that man.
Now, stranger came the answer,
turn loose your old cannon, and / hope
that you are a good shot. because if
l am as homely looking brute as you
l want to croak.'

water bath by dissolving two ounces OF
common salt in a pint of water. Heat
seven or eight ounces of glycerine over
the salt water bath TO a temperature
of 200 Fahrenheit. Then pour off from
the gelatine all the water remaining
unabsorbed, add the gelatine to the
hot glycerine, continuing the heating
for an n.hour, carefully stirring the mix
ture occasionally, avoiding as much as
possible the formation of bubbles.
Finally add twenty drops of oil OF
cloves to prevent decomposition. The
composition is then ready to pour into
the shallow tins in which it is to be
used. After the tin is filed, it must
remain in a level position for at least
five hours in a cool place before using

Food to rebuild the strength and

Il needed nouriShment as badly as
any one could, but none of the tonics

me perfectly well and strong again, so

Typhoid fever like some other dis
eases attacks the bowels and frequent

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-
chanically accomplished in Grape-Nuts

any one. no matter how weak the stom-

for all the nourishment is still there.
There's a sound reason and ten DAYS

commission has increased year by
year, the problem of manning them
has become more serious, and the
government has been forced to take
active measures to secure crews
worthy of the new ships. The
merchant marine, the nations resource
in past times of peril, has practically
ceased to exist and the famous race
OF American seamen, accustomed
from infancy to follow the sea, as
much at home on the deck of a ship
as in their cottages ashore, is
threatened with extinction. In the
old days, when American clipper ships
carried the flag to every quarter OF
the globe, the sailor was in truth a
"Jackof-all trades" Accustomed to
make the ocean his home for months
at a stretch, hardened to every kind
of weather, self-reliant, courageous
and sturdy, he was material ready
shaped for the navy and few months
on United States vessel made him
a veteran man-of-war's man.
