A little boy OF eight years whose

suffered from a weak condition Of the
stomach and bowels. Finally he was
taken down with appendicitis and
after the operation the doctor, know
ing that his intestinal digestion was
very weak. put him on Grape Nuts
twice day.
He rapidly recovered and about two
months thereafter, his Father states,
He has grown to be strong, muscu-

pounds, and his whole system is in a

II is plain that if Re had been put
on Grape-Nuts at an earlier period in
his life, and kept from the use OF
foods that he could not digest, he new

disease is caused by undigested food

There was a man recently who did
a tremendous business at French
fairs, selling a powder that was harm
less to men but deadly to rats He
would spread some of the powder on
a slice Of bread and eat it; then put
a portion under glass case, in which
was a rat, that died as soon as it ate
the bread. Here is the explanation
of tie trick. The powder was ordi-
nary sugar. But the glass case was
connected with an electric battery,
and as soon as the rat touched the
bread the current was turned on, and
1t was electrocuted.

FEEDING AMIMALs IN wlNrEa.
Squirrels and Rabbits Most Quickly
Become Pets.

Become Pets.
OF the animals that we can coax
about our houses. the gray squirrels
become most friendly. Put nuts in
convenient places and they will make
frequent trips for supplies. but only
on comparatively mild days will they
remain long outside their comfortable
winter quarters. where they usually
have plenty Of food stored.
In Central park. New York, the
gray squirrels have become SO accus-
toned to being fed that they have to
a great extent, given up storing food.
and rely chiefly on what they can
pick up each day. Red squirrels can
be coaxed by means OF food, but they
are very questionable fellows; in fact.
the general opinion is decidedly
against them, owing to their partial
ity for eggs and young birds. Chip
munks hibernate in their under
ground homes, so we cannot count on
them for winter visitors.

accept dainties in the form Of green

Distinct Failure.

patients and students with his impor-

one day when a workingman entered
the room The surgeon stopped him
by gesture and ordered his class
to look at him. Now, Mr.. x, he said
to one Of the students, what is the
matter with this man? From here
you should be able to make a correct
diagnosis simply by looking at the
mans face. his bearing and the con-
tour Of his head Mr.. X. Mr.. Y and
Mr. y having failed to make any d.
agnosis whatsoever, the professor tri-
umphantly declared: "You ought to
see at the first glance that the man
Is deaf and dumb" He forgot to men
tion that he himself had frequently
seen the patient. Then the patient
spoke up: mo, your excellency, it
is my brother who Is deaf and dumb.

Suit Dismissed by Country Justice In

Champ Clark tells Of a suit in which

"The opposing party" says MI
Clark, had sued my client outside the
township in which he lived. SO l took
the statute with me to have the case
dismissed for want Of jurisdiction. The
local justice Of the peace was shoe
maker. His Office was in his shoe
shop, and the son of Crispin sat on
his bench among his feathers and mis-
tools attentiyely listening to my read
ing of the law and the motion to dis
miss the case. Upon the termination
Of my little argument the justice shoe
maker showed signs of indecision.
With an owlish air of wisdom he in
formed me that he had his doubts
as to that statute; furthermore, he in
timated that 1t would be well to go
slow where these city lawyers were
concerned. Finally he threw aside a
boot he had been pegging and an
nounced:
"'Well, sir, I've got to see Squire
Johnson about this. You take the
bench, Squire Morton, till l get back.
$50 off he went to get the opinion
Of a veteran local lawyer, the legal
authority of the town. Mr.. Morton,
the other legal magnate he had ad-
dressed, gravely took the bench and
held it till the justice returned. In
fact, he held it longer, for 1t proved
matter of considerable difficulty to
separate him from it. When he tried
to rise there was an awful clatter OF
knives, bradawls, shoes and leather

4 TYPICAL SOUTHERN HOUSE
Either a Rambling Bungalow or Mod
ern Frame Structure.

Externally the typical southern
house of the present is either a ram.
bling bungalow like Witchwood-one

part of some old antebellum man

structure quite architectural and com.
pact, with loaded windows, half-tim.
Der borders, and an open terrace built
upon a foundation Of gray stone with
coping of the same. or modification
Of these three ideas.
In its interior arrangement, says a
writer in the House Beautiful, the
southern residence has always been
called upon to meet not only the de-
mands of convenience and comfort
but also those of hospitality and en-
tertainment as well, for the south
erner is decidedly a social being
given to entertainment in all its
forms. This characteristic was not
only gratified, but actually fostered
by the big rooms of the white-col
umned houses of the old south.
Soon after the war the populariza'
tion Of the sliding door made it pos
sible for small rooms to perform the
functions Of large ones on occasions
and for while the southern builder
cut his house up after the manner Of
his northern brother, though not
quite in the same restricted proper
tions. That phase may now be said
to have passed, and general taste in
the south is once more in favor Of
spacious chambers. So genuine Is
this preference, that even in small
houses the space usually divided be
tween two rooms is now given to
one. Usually the room thus formed
is long one, sort of salon.
