The Man, the Child and the Don.

A stocky, pink-f faced man who showed
Tor good living, was buying doll. He
finally decided in favor of a foOt-high
blonde dressed in pink silk and lace;
cost, $2.99. AS he was about to hand
her to the clerk to be wrapped, he
noticed beside him shabby bit Of a
girl who was staring up at Miss Wax
face with open mouth and greedy eyes.
She was such an in.ense-looking little
body that he said to her, with the
friendly familiarity that the right kind
Of people generally use to children:
Say, sis, you ought to know all
about doll babies. Do you think this
will suit my little girl?"
The child answered that his little
girl would be sure to think it grand.
Indeed, she was so excitedly admiring
In her recommends ton, that the mans
attention was fixed. He noticed that
her face was hungrily thin, and that
her faded clothes were too short at the
wrists and knees.
$50 you think this doll is all right,
eh?"
The child beamed at Miss Waxface
with adoring eyes and gave a convinc-
ing answer.
THAT being the case, suppose you
keep her''-and he put the doll in the
thin, little arms and deliberately
bought another.-W Washington Star.

PEDDLING HER OWN PUPS.

Newfoundland Dog Carries Basket in
Which Offspring Are for Sale.
Many compassionate persons have
sympathized with mother who for
several days has walked the business
districts soliciting purchasers for her
offspring. The mother is big New
foundland dog. She carries three
handsome puppies in basket plac-
arded "For Sale," and proudly
marches along the street, following
the footsteps Of her owner. Her fond
interest in the puppies welfare gives
a pathetic touch to the method of her
master in attempting to dispose OF
them.
When people stop to examine the
puppies the proud mother sets the
basket down gently and caresses the
trio. II know 1t seems tough to have
her peddling the pups" exclaimed the

all women of it's virtues? Surely you

and discouraged, exhausted each day,
when you can be as easily cured as

FOOD I'M SERMONS.
Feed the Dominic Right and the Sermons
Are Brilliant.

A conscientious, Woodworking and
eminently successful clergyman writes:
81 am glad to bear testimony to the
pleasure and increas ed measure OF
efficiency and health that have come to
me from adopting Grape-Nuts food az
one of my articles of diet.
'FOr several years I was much dis
tressed during the early part Of each
day by indigestion. My breakfast,
usually consisting of oatmeal, milk and
eggs, seemed to turn sour ard failed
to digest. After dinner the headache
and other symptoms following the
breakfast would wear away, only to re-
turn, however, next morning.
Having heard of Grape Nuts food,
finally concluded to give it a fair trial.
I quit the use Of oatmeal and eggs, and
made my breakfasts Of Grape-Nuts,
cream, toast and Postum. Tie result
was surprising in improved health and
total absence of the distress that had,
for so long time, followed the morn
ing meal. My digestion became
once more satisfactory, the headaches
ceased, and the old feeling of energy
returned. Since that time, four years
ago, l have always had Grape-Nuts
food on my breakfast table.
81 was delighted to find also. that
whereas before 1 began to use Grape
Nuts food I was quite nervous and be-
came easily wearied in the work of
preparing sermons and in study. a
marked Improvement IN this respect re-
suited from the change in my diet +
am convinced that Grape Nuts food
produced this result and helped me to
sturdy condition of mental and physical
strength.

who have been helped as have been.
