jamaica and Cuba.

Although Jamaica is one Of the
same chain of islands which are
know as the West Indies, the natural
attractions Of the Pearl of the An
titles are Of different character from
those of Cuba. The tropical growths
are Ienser and the mountain range
which runs through the island rises
in places to so great height as 5000
feet. Cuba is billy, but Jamaica Is
mountainous. Jamaica is especially
the habitat OF the palm, and there the
most tropical variety of foliage may
be seen In the comfort OF genial spring
sunshine The inhabitants take life
calmly in this most important British
possession In the West Indies.

The goose got over the fence OF it's

opening OF the shaft, which is 100
feet deep, fell into the black hole and
disappeared.
On the following day persons pass

The oil hosting apparatus was ex-

Then Albert took long rope and.

HOW TO SEAL LETTERS.
Combined Use of Wafer and Wax Pre-
vents a amperinu


II is often very desirable to know
how to seal letter so that it cannot
be opened without betraying the fact.
Steam or hot water will open envel-
opes closed with mucilage and even a
wafer. A hot iron or a spirit lamp dis
solves sealing wax, an impression In
plaster having been taken of the seal.
BY the combined use of wafer and
sealing wax, however, all attempts TO
open the letter otherwise than by
force can be frustrated. All that is
necessary is to close the letter first
with a small moist wafer and to piece
the latter with a coarse needle (the
same applies to mucilage), whereupon
sealing wax may be used in the usual
manner. This seal can neither be
opened by dry heat nor by moisture.

The resignation of MT. Daniels will take effect next Sun day night, and on July l he will enter upon the duties of the marshaTs office.
 Governor Kibbey at a late hour in the afternoon announced the appoint ment of Col. Jerry MiIlay to succeed Superintendent Daniels Col Millay has been spending the early summer at Los Angeles and is expected to arrive in the city today
 southern part of the territory had been predicting that Captain Thomas H. Rynning of the Arizona Rangers had been slated for the sUperintendency of the prison. Tn the beginning Captain Rynning stated that he knew nothing of the purpose of the governor to ap- point him. He had had no information on that subject from the governor, and he had made no application for the ap- pointment.
 The publication, though, of his prob-. able appointment resulted in flooding the office of the governor with appli- cations for the position of captain of the rangers. The governor, however, is without intimatiOn from Captain Rynning that he desires any other po- sition. His services as the head Of the rangers have been highly satisfactory.

4 WORKING BRAIN Can Be Made Successful on Right Food

A busy man in one of Americas largest watch factories tells how by change of food he gained clear brain and steady nerves and averted a men tai and physical breakdown. He says: "'I was accustomed all my life to the ordinary diet of the average table. I thought that meat, potatoes, and other vegetables and fruit were necessary, and that tea, coffee and pastry in mod crate quantities were not injurious.
 But l found, in course of time, that my dietary was affecting my health seriously. For four years I continued to run down. In time my nerves be- came seriously affected they seemed constantly keyed up to the highest ten sion, and I became subject to the most violent bilious attacks, which used to leave me in a weak and nervous condi- ton for several days. The climax seemed to have been reached a few years ago, when I found myself about as near a physical wreck as a man could well be, and live. Physicians. tonics and other medicines. visits to the country. etc, etc, Were of no avail.
 'In sheer desperation I concluded, a few months ago, to see what effect a diet of Grape-Nuts food would have. had often heard of it, but had little hope it would help me. I at once cut out all the heavy dishes with the tea and coffee that I had always used and began to eat Grape-Nuts with cream and a pinch of salt. Afterwards. I add ed fruit, with occasionally an egg beat en up in milk, and entire wheat bread. This has been practically my diet for more than two months.
 "I found that with the new diet gained complete relief almost immedi- ately from all the distress that used to follow every meal, my bilious condition was speedily regulated and cured, my nerves have grown healthy and steady, in short my run down constitution has been reconstructed and built u9. As to the effect upon my mental pow CTS. l have only to point to the fact that have recently been placed in a respon- sible position in our establishment where complete concentration of mind is required to deal with complicated records and reports and that I have been enabled to keep my accounts ab- solutely correct, which I'y numerous predecessors uniformly failed to do.
 T think these things speak volumes in favor of Grape-Nuts food as nerve and brain builder. I ascribe all my i'm proYement, mental and physical, the fact that I am possessed of steadier nerves, Q, clearer brain, a fine appetite and have gained healthily in weight, to the cutting out of heavy food and the systematic use of Grape Nuts food" Name given by POstum O., Battle Creek.
