his stiffness and awkwardness are the
direct results of his self-conscious-
ness, should imagine that a strong
string is attached to the upper part
of his chest and held by an invisible
hand above him. All he has to do is
to let his body depend from that
string and keep his head well back of
it. and his mind and body will alike
become easy and free. The most

that she habitually walked by the aid

Consumption Can Be Conquered.

The universe, interest in the Anti
tuberculosis movement Is shown in
every convention held to consider this
work. The discussions are practical,
not theoretical. The audiences are
popular, not merely professional. The
whole people are intereted.
In a session just closed at Atlanta,
Georgia, many important and interest
ing phases of the prevention and cure
of consumption were considered. DR..
c. P. Amber gave a concise reyies of
the duty of the physician in charge,
to the patient and family. His paper
was enthusiastically received and
adopted as the sense of the League on
this subject.
His points were as follows: First,
tuberculosis is not the fatal disease
commonly believed
Second-While commur icable 1t can
be made practically harmless by the
proper course on the part of the
patient.
Third-The chief cause of the high
mortality is late diagnosis.
Fourth-Late diagnosis is caused
by Indifference of the patient to early
symptoms and carelessness on the
part of the physician consulted
Filthy thorough, systematic in
struction of the patient better results
can be accomplished than by medica-
ton.
Sixth-Instruction of patient, fam
lily and friends, and close observance
on their part of the rules laid down
will practically rob the disease of its
method and means of extending.

and nights without sleeping; but how
long can we live without breathing?
Twenty ounces of food and a few
pints of water will supply the body

volume of air enters is said to contain

GREAT CHANGE
From Change in Food.

The brain depends much more On
the stomach than we are apt to sup
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:
1.-THE doctor diagnosed my trouble
as a nervous affection of the stom-
ach' l was actually so nervous that
l could not sit still for five minutes
to read the newspaper, and to attend
to my household duties was simply
impossible. l doctored all the time
with remedies, but medicine did no
good.
my physician put me on all sorts
of diet, and l tried many kinds of
cereal foods, but none of them agreed
with me. l was almost discouraged.
and when tried Grape-Nuts I did so
with many misgivings-I had no faith
that it would succeed where every
thing else had failed.
But 1t did succeed, and you don't
know how glad / am that l tried 1t.
l feel like new person, l have gain
ed in weight and I don't have that
terrible burning sensation in my stom-
ach any more. feel SO strong
again that l am surprised at myself.
The street noises that used to irritate
me SO, I never notice now, and my
mind is so clear that my household
duties are a real pleasure"

Creek, Mich.
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 centers in these organs. 1t is
absolute folly to try to do this with
medicine. There is but one sure way
and that is to quit the old, food that
has failed and take on Grape-Nuts
food which is more than half digested
in the process OF manufacture and is
rich in the phosphate of potash con-
tanned in the natural grain. which
unites with albumen and water-the
only three substances that will make
up the soft gray filling in the thou
sands of delicate nerve centres in the
brain and body. Grape-Nuts food Is a
sure road back to health in all such
cases.

Prisoner Stops Trial by Chewing and
Swallowing = Forged Check.
The Kings county court was thrown
into disorder and dismay, says Seat
tie special to the St. Louis Post-D
patch, when the prisoner at the bar,
Fl. r. McTavish, ate all the evidence
in the case on trial. McTavish was
being tried on a charge OF forging a
SIS check. The check lay on the trial
table. marked exhibit A." McTavish
sat beside his counsel, who was en-
gagged in cross-examining a witness
for the prosecution.
The case was going against Nc
lavish when his eye fell on the check.
which was about to be introduced in
evidence. Like a half-starved man
and with look of hunger in his eye.
the prisoner bounced upon exhibit A"
and chewed it to pulp.
With soulful satisfaction he gulped
1t down. The prosecution was in con-
sternation, for its main piece of evil
dence was gone, and demanded that
stomach pump be used forthwith.
While the lawyers argued pro and con.
the prisoner calmly picked his teeth
with a whitfield match, plainly the
master of the situation. The defense
argued that the ball of paper in the
defendants stomach could in no wise
be construed as documentary evil
dence, and that dismissal was prop
er.
The case of the state Of Washing
ton against H. r. McTavish is now in
statu quo pending the untangling OF
the legal question involved from the
defendants impromptu luncheon.

Would spoil her walls and floor.

Snuff taking somewhat interfered with the

sneezing For toward the end of the eighteenth
century an eminent Frenchman began a violent
crusade against the snuffbOx, the ground
that 1t is mainly responsible for the decay of
that ancient form of pOliteness-the blessing of
a person after sneezing." He drew attention to
the abandonment of the customary apostrophe
to the sneezer, and declared that it had probably

enough, an analogous superstition seems to have
prevailed among the aboriginal inhabitants Of
America For Theodore Irving In his Con

According to tradition sneezing was the first

cataleptic frances and apparently dead usually
indicate their return to consciousness in the
form of a sneeze. 1t is said that when Pro
metheus first fashioned out of clay the

however, as its artificer had vivifed it with the
fire which he had stolen from the sun it fell
into a violent fit of sneezing. Overjoyed by the
success of his experiment PrOmetheus broke
forth into words of benediction and thus insti-
tuted a practice which has been followed by
mankind for innumorable centuries. On the
other hand Aristotle declared sneezing to be

a few years ago Sir William Flower, at the

width of the nostrils corresponds with the
breadth of the mind. and that the nose is apt
to expand laterally propOrtionately with the ex-

reason the fiat nose with open nostrils such as
that which constitutes a title to regard and to
promotion in the bodyguard of the Car, has
been named as a "cOgitative nose,' and young
men are recommended to cultivate a "cogita-
