SAFEST FOOD

In Any Kind of Trouble Is Grapc-Nuts
Food to rebuild the strength and
that is predigested 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
digestible nourishment. A woman who
used it says:
Some time ago / was very i'll with
typhoid fever. so Ill every one thought
I would die, even myself. 1t left me
SO weak / could not properly digest
food of any kind and / also had much,
bowel trouble. which left me a weak,
helpless wreck,
II needed nourishment as badly as
any one could. but none of the tonics
helped me until / finally tried Grape
Nuts food morning and evening. This
not only supplied food that | thought
delicious as could be. but it also made
me perfectly well and strong 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 Its weight
in gold" Name given by Postum Co..
Battle Greek, Mich.
Typhoid fever like some other dis
eases attacks the bowels and frequent
ly sets mp bleeding and makes them
for months incapable Of digesting the
starches and therefore predigested
Grape-Nuts is invaluable for the we'll
known reason that in Grape-Nuts all
tho starches have been transformed
Into grape sugar. This means that the
first stage OF digestion has been me-
chemically accomplished in Grape-Nuts
food at the factories, and therefore
any one. no matter how weak the stom-
sch. can handle It and grow strong,
Tor all the nour1shment II still there.
There's q sound reason and ten days
fxial proves.

CHAPTER xXXy.
THE STORY OF HIS LIFE.

The strange story of Count Massinis
life may briefly be set down as follows:
A member of an ancient and noble
family in the north of Italy, living In
impoverished circumstances, he had
in his youth studied medicine in the
University of Padua, with the intention
Of becoming q doctor. But whilst
yet a student, his ~stngularly
handsome appearance and suaye
manners won him the affection Of the
only daughter Of Count Sasari, who pos
sessed a large fortune in her own right,
inherited from her dead mother. Her fa-
theirs determined opposition failed to pre-
vent the girl from marrying Massini; and
In her endeavor to show him her love and
trust, she settled her wealth on him in
case she predeceased him.
Her handsome, vivacious young husband
appeared as much Infatuated by her as
she was by him; so that his devotion ulti-
mately won her fathers approval of the
marriage he had bitterly opposed. Mas.
SIM gave up his studies and abandoned
the idea OF becoming a doctor. and with
plenty OF time and his wife's none al
his disposal. he soon began to indulge hiA
passion for gambling. That he might play
more freely and without ~reproach, he con-
tinually absented himself from his young
wife, whom he had never really loved.
Three years after marriage he had been
hastily from Nice to be present
at the birth of his son. That he had lost
every available penny and had ~mortgaged
his wife's property was a secret that he
jealousy guarded from her and her ia
trer. Contrary TO the expectations OF the
doctors, she failed to recover strength
after childbirth threatened calamity
that increased her husbands devotion; for
from that time on he seldom left her
bedside, where he sat with his hands
clasping hers, whilst her eyes beamed on
him with indescribable love and gratitude.
AS time passed she became gradually
more exhausted, and her doctors aban-
doned hope OF saving her; but refusing 20
despair, her father summoned Or. Zoffani
of Pisa, who, though at this time a young
man, had already gained a wide reputa-
ton for his skill. However, by the time
he arrived the young wife and mother had
passed painlessly, If somewhat suddenly,
out of life.
other doctors Immediately caught the at
tention of this shrewd physician as he
looked at the dead countess; and EXAMINE
alton convinced him that she had been
poisoned by atropa mandragora, which, IL
given In minute doses. leaves little trace
behind.
Inquiry further led Zoffani to know that
ner nusDdna DeneHted Dy ner death. TO
him the doctor stated that the countess
had been poisoned. Massini read detec-
ton and accusation IN the eyes watching
him, and taking a bold step he pointed
out that this discovery could not bring
the dead TO life. whilst he would cause
pain and scandal to two noble families.
He added that silence would bring such
reward as Zoffani chose to name.
The latter, who had already been bitten
by the craze for alchemy. saw in this offer
the means of beginning the work that

Theories With Respect to Name Of

Liverpool Post: The busy thorough
fare which we know as Piccadilly is far

possible to imagine, and 1t can hardly
be realized that there was a time when
merely one or two houses stood on
what is now one of the finest and rich

Piccadilly, appears to be derived from

II IL Hard TO Pick Out Any That Were
Really 5ucn wnen Nominated.

- 1872
Providence Journal: Polk WAS the
FIRST dark horse" to be chosen; but
neither Hayes nor Benjamin Harrison
can fairly be regarded as having won a
nomination by any conspicuous acts Of
craftsmanship.
Doubtless Pierce's reputation has
suffered by the disputes over slavery
which did so much to wreck his ad-
ministraton. Yet even SO. he was a
candidate for denomination and re-
ceived 122 votes TO Buchanan's 135
votes on the first ballot in the demo-
cratic convention OF 1856. His nominal
tion four years earlier had been very
wei receiyed-much better than that of
his opponent, General Scott.
Pierce had entered politics within
two years after his admission to the
bar, had served In the New Hampshire
Legislature. had been sent to congress
at the age of tw~enty-nine n at
thirty three had been chosen United
states senator. being then the youngest
members OF that body, Resigning his
seat after five years, he returned TO
the practice OF law. But he certainly
did not relapse into obscIrity, for in
the interval between 1912 and 1856 he
had declined a nomination for oy-
ernor OF New Hampshire. had refused
an appointment TO the senate and the
offer OF a place In Folks cabinet as at
torney general. and had won consider
able military reputation as q brigadIer
general in the Mexican war.
Hayes was unpuestionably less well
known than Pierce when he was NOM
mated TO the presidency. He had been
In congress two years and he had a
good war record; but at the time OF his
nomination he was governor OF Ohio
and he was no more prominent nation
ally than q dozen governors OF states
are at any time
Benjamin Harrison, too, was by no
means one of the most eminent public
men at the time of his nomination.
His name was IN his favor, and the
caricaturists of the day represented
him as almost hidden under grand
fathers hat" He, too, had seen SER
vice in the war, had been IN both houses
OF congress and had declined a cabinet
appointment: but he had beer dereated
for reelection to the senate and had
returned to the practice of law. He
was a compromise candidate FOR the
presidency, and was chosen IN the COM
vention OF 1888 after the success OF
Sherman or Gresham was seen 10 be
impossible. Indeed, there are several
points OF comparison between Pierce
and Harrison. and 1t would be hard to
show that one was more obscure than
the other.

A Recent Instance Proves Tha a Woman's

When the blood is disordered every
organ of the body is affected unfavorably

the female sex, is that which brought
such great relief TO Miss Matte Griggs,
of No. S07 Indiana street, Lawrence,
Kansas, concerning which she speaks as

DISCOVERY OF CONDENSED MILK.

Louisville Herald: How and when
was condensed milk discovered?" said
d. M. Miedell. well, that is an easy
question. known to all vendors of the
article.
1T CHANGED that in 1854 the journey
from New Orleans to New York was a
considerable trip. A certain lady-Mrs.
Albert Cashingor-had a sick baby, and
on account of that condensed milk was
discovered. Mrs. Cashingor's baby
was SO Ill that she realized that IT.
would be necessary to make a trip to
New York to receive expert medical
attention IL she hoped to save the
child's life. But to travel that long
distance the child had to have milk.
Milk wouldn't keep fresh more than a
few hours. So there she was, kept
back from making the trip merely be-
cause she could not supply the child
with fresh milk.
in her despair she began to expert
ment to see If she could not preserve
milk the same as she did jelly or any
thing else. She tried several different
methods, and finally hit upon a plan
which seemed to give satisfaction. So
h preserved several big jars Of the
stuff, put Ii upon a sailing vessel and
made the trip. The child fed Upon the
milk and was nourished. In New York
several men learned OF her discovery.
They tried to make some of the con-
densed milk In the manner that she
had told them, but failed. They fol-
lowed her to New Orleans, and there
she unwittingly unfolded her valuable
secret-- On he island of Galveston.

there the first salable condensed milk
was made. The woman died poor. The
