CHANGED HUSBAND.
Wife Made Wise Change in Food.

Change of diet is the only way to
really cure stomach and bowel trouble.
A woman says:
My husband had dyspepsia when
we were married and had suffered
from it for several years. 1t was al
most impossible to find anything he
could eat without bad results.
Il thought this was largely due to-
the use of coffee and persuaded him
to discontinue it. He did so, and be-
gan to drink Postum Food Coffee. The
change did him good from the begin
fered much less from his nervousness,
and when he added Grape-Nuts food
to his diet he was soon entirely cured.
My friend, Mrs. - -, Of Vicks-
burg (my former home), had become a
nervous wreck also from dyspepsia.
travel help her. On my last visit
home. some months ago, / persuaded
her to use Grape-Nuts food. She was
in despair, and consented She stuck
to it until it restored her health SO
completely that she is now the most
enthusiastic friend of Grape-Nuts that
/ ever knew. She eats it with cream
or dry, just as it comes from the pack
age-keeps it in her room and eats 1t
whenever she feels like it.
Il began eating Grape-Nuts food,
myself, when my baby was two
months old, and / don't know what |
should have done without it. My ap-
petite was gone, was weak and nerv-
GUS and afforded but very little nour-
ishment for the child. The Grape
Nuts food, of which soon grew very
fond, speedily set all this right again,
and the baby grew healthful rosy and
beautiful as a mother cou I'D wish. He
is two years old now and>eats Grape
Nuts food himself. 1 wish every tired
young mother knew of the good that
Grape Nuts would do her."

THE EMPIRE OF SPEECH.
What Has Been Done by Improve
ments in the Telephone to
Advance It.

Two or three recent important i'm
provements of the telephone show what
undeleveloped capacities still lie hidden
in this wonderful far-talker of modern
science. In the first place, says the Cos
mopolitan, it has become possible to
eliminate the telephone girl as a con-
Meeting link, or rather a connector of
links, between the sender and the re-
ceiver of a message. One can now
switch on" without her Intervention.
If you wish to talk with friend by this
new system, you simply look up his or
her number, and then on dial, or min
iature switchboard, in your own house
or office you turn the indicator to the
digits representing that number, and
Immediately your friends bell rings,
and, without any further preliminaries,
you may begin your conversation. The
switching mechanism at the central eX-
change has automatically followed the
movements of your indicator at home
and put you into direct communication
with the desired point. Besides, it gives
a delightful sense of privacy to tele-
phone talk. Mechanical contriyances
possess no ears and no memories, and,
having nothing to forget, make no blum
ders.
But if the automatic telephone excites
grateful wonder, another recent inven-
tion-the telephone that takes your
speech, keeps it unuttered if your friend
happens to be out, but speaks it into his
ear as soon as he returns, whether the
interval be an hour or week-must be
regarded as a marvel of maryels. That
machine may consist either of a steel
wire wound on a revolving drum, or a
hard steel disk revolving in horizontal
plane. Above the revolving wire, or
disk, is placed small electromagnetic ac-
tuated by the telephone circuit. All the
varying impulses that come over the
telephone wire under the influence Of
the speakers voice are impaired by the
little magnet to the steel moving be-
meath it, and they make upon that steePs
surface series of magnetic impressions,
like invisible dots, each of which pos
sesses it's own peculiar polarity and de-
gree of intensity. 1t is just as if the
steel were sheet of paper and the mag
net a pen, and the magnetic impulses a
series of alphabetical signs jotted down
on the paper--only nothing is visible to
the eye. But the hundreds of little mag
netic poles are there, though unseen,
and when the wire or the plate carrying
these mystic hierglyphics is again
passed under the electromagnetic (the lat
ter being now connected with tele-
phone receiver) they reproduce exactly
the same impulses that created them,
these impulses passing into the receiv-
er vibrate the speaking membrane and
give forth the voice and the words which
they had stored
The only thing that a man who has a
telegraphone in his Office needs to do IS
to set the apparatus going when he has
time to listen to it, and if any of his
friends have been speaking to it while
he was out, or busy, or asleep, their
messages will be repeated.

ST. PETERSBURG, RUSSIA.-MY
DEAR GROCERYWITZ: Well, sir, dad
and have got too much of Russia the
quickest of any two tourists you ever
heard of. That skirmish we saw, the
day the Russians blessed the Neva, and
shot blank cartridges filled with old iron
at the car, was not a marker to the
trouble the next Sunday, when the work
ing people marched to the Winter Pal
ace, to present a petition to the Little
Father"
We thought revolution was like a
play, and that it would be worth going
miles to see. Dad was in South Amer
lea once when there was revolution,
where more than dozen greasers, with
guns that wouldn't shoot, put on dozen
different kinds of uniforms, and yelled:
Down with the government, and
frothed at the mouth, and drank butter
milk and yelled Spanish swear words,
and acted brave. until native soldier
with white pajamas came out with
gun and shot one of the revolutionists
in the thumb, when the revolution was
suppressed and the next day the revolu-
tionists were pounding stone, with can
non balls chained to their legs; and dad
thought revolution in Russia would be
something like that, and that we could
get on front porch and watch it as it
went by, and joke with the revolution,
and throw confetti, like it was a
carnival, but that Sunday that the Rus
sian revolution was begun, we had
enough blood to last us all our lives.
We got place sitting on an iron picket
fence, and we saw the people coming up
the street towards the Winter Palace,
dressed mostly in blouses, and looking
as innocent as a crowd of sewer diggers
at home going up to the city hall to ask
for raise in wages of two shillings q

neighbors because they are hired to do
so. The murder of those unarmed work
ing men, that Sunday, has changed
helpless, pleading people into anarchists
with deadly bombs in their blouses
where they were accustomed to carry
black bread to sustain life, and with the
menace of Japan in the far east and an
outraged people at home, Russia is in
bad way, and if was the car or grand
duke, would find woodchuck hole and
arrange with the woodchuck for fur
nished fiat.

THE IDEAL WIFE
Shapes the Destiny of Men-The influence OF a
Healthy Woman Cannot Be Overestmated.

Seven-eighths of the
men in this world marry
a woman because she is
beautiful in their eyes
because she has the quail
ties which inspire admira-
ton, respect and love.
There is a beauty in
health which is more at
tractive to men than mere
regularity of feature.
The influence of women
glorious in the possession
of perfect physical health
upon men and upon the
civilization of the world
could never be measured.
Because of them men have
attained the very heights
of ambition; because of
them even thrones have
been established and de-
stroyed.
What a disappointment,
then, to see the fair young
wife's beauty fading away
before a year passes over
her head! A sickly, half
dead-and-alive woman,
especially when she is
the mother of a family,
is a damper to all joyous

drag upon her husband.
