something was amiss.

Ten minutes later we were both in a
cab and rafting through the silent
streets on our way to Charing Cross
station. The first faint winters dawn
was beginning to appear, and we could
dimly see the occasional figure of an
early workman as he passed us, blur
red and indistinct in the opalescent
London reek. Holmes nestled in 81
lence into his heavy coat, and l was
glad to do the same. for the air was
most bitter, and neither of us had
broken our fast.
1t was not until we had consumed
some hot tea at the station and taken
our places in the Kentish train that
we were sufficiently thawed, he to
speak and to listen. Holmes drew a
note from his pocket and read it aloud:
Abbey Grange, Marsham, Kent.

Treat Your Kidneys for Rheumatism.

When you are suffering from rheu-

the uric acid from the blood. Foley's

4 II has come TO be accepted as a fact
i that mems fashions have prac-
tically become fixed, and that there
are no material changes from year to
year because the men won't stand for
them. But as a matter Of fact, changes
are occurring all the time. and steadi-

fort and simplicity.
Rumes, lace and shoe buckles went
long ago. The extremes which we
knew years ago-skin tight trousers

grace u.s. The uncomfortable silk hat
is now confined largely to sports
and the clergy, though the latter is
trying to i've it down. And now it is
predicted that the sun-bosom shirt is
doomed. The Minneapolis Journal

THE PISTOL HELPED.

TAT = don't believe in people carry
w ing hrearms, especially women,
but 1t is fortunate that the young
woman who was attacked by a negro
near Kirl0wood, the other night, had a
pistol and was able to use It.
Our own regret is that the ciroum-
stances prevented her from making a
pepper box Of the carcas OF her as
sailant AS It was, perhaps that pistol
prevented another siokenlng tragedy
Now our laws very properly provide
penalties Tor carrying concealed dead
ly weapons, yet IN certain rural sec
tions where ramps and worthless me-
groes prowi around like beasts OF prey
by night honest persons must provide
for their own protection.
We have no rural police, and a GER
tain nameless crime is becoming more
common. Under these circumstances
there win be persons who despite the
law win go armed particularly women
who are obliged TO be in lonely places
unattended.

GREAT CHANGE.
rom Change In Food.

The brain lends much more on
the stomach than we are apt to sun
pose until we take thought in the mat
ter Feed the stomach on proper food
easy to digest and containing the
proper amount of phosphates and the
healthy brain will respond to all de-
,mands. A notable housewife in Buff
falo writes:
THE doctor diagnosed my trouble
las a nervous affection OF the stomach
was actually so nervous that 1 could
not sit still for five minutes to read
the newspaper, and to attend 10 my
household duties was simply impossi-
bic. ! doctored all the time with REM
edies, but medicine did no good,

There's a reason.
Now why was this great change
made in this woman?
The stomach and the brain had NOT
been supplied with the right kind Of
food to rebuild and strengthen the
nerve centres in these organs. II is
absolutely folly to try to do this win
medicine. There is but one sure wav
and that is to quit the old food that
has failed and take on Grape Nuts
food which is more than half dieested
in the process OF manufacture and is
rich in the phosphate OF potash com
tanned in the natural grain, which
unites with albumen and water-tba
only three substances that will mako
up the soft gray filling in the thous-
ands of delicate nerve centres in the
brain and body Grape Nuts food Is
a sure road back to health in all such
eases.

Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot reach
the diseased portion Of the ear There is
only ono way 10 cure deafness and that is
by constitutional remedies. Deafness is
caused by an inhamed condition Of the
mucous lining OF the Eustachian Tube.
When this tube is inhamed you have a
rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and
when II is entirely closed Deafness is
the result and unless the Inflammation
can be taken out and this tube restored
to it's normal condition, hearing will be
destroyed forever; nine cases out OF ten
are caused by Catarrh, which is nothing
but an innamed condition OF the mucous
surfaces.

chanced TO strike it rich one day
A 'tip" was passed along;
risked my all-things came my way
Instead of going wrong
One turn, and I was rich and proud
And greeted by the gcrat
Around me willing iackey's bowed
And served my meals in state.
And one that / with awe had viewed
And worshipped from below
Smiled on me sweetly as I wooed,
And all the joys they know
Who, after being long denied.
Are richly blessed I had;
In all her beauty and her pride
She came 10 make mo glad.
My splendid yacht was on the bay,
My fame was everywhere;
/ found new pleasures day by day
And turned my back 10 care:
In hard fought tournaments won
And heard hor praise my skin,
And youth. whose sands so quickly run
Was in my keeping still.
Beside me in my yellow car
My lovely princess sat;
We travelled rapidly and far
Through scenes worth looking at,
And many a dog and many a goose
Lay ldeless where we sped.
And many a farmers team tore loose
And galloped off IN dread.
With love-ht eyes she turned TO me.
As faster yet we iiew.
And candidly confessed that she
Adored me through and through
Not for my riches only-no,
But for my worth, she vowed;
She had a luscious mouth, and, oh,
Gee whiz. but I was proud
With one hand on the wheel, I bent
And drew her very near;
We hit a railroad train and went
Up IN the atmosphere
The shock was awful: when we struck
She murmured, Holy smokei"
And, while descending, blame the luck.
