HONEST CONFESSION.
A Doctors Talk on Food.

N. A oJCtO1 . LaAh oA Iooos
There are no fairer set of men on
earth than the doctors, and when they
find they have been in error they are
usually apt to make honest and manly
confession of the fact.
A case in point is that Of an emil
nent practitioner, one of the good old
school, who lives in Texas. His plain,
u%nvarnished tale needs no dressing up:
81 hal always had an intense preju-
dice, which | can now see was unwar-
rantable and unreasonable, against all
muchly advertised foods. Hence,
never read a line of the many ads of
Grape-Nuts, nor tested the food till last
winter.
while in Corpus Christi for my
health, and visiting my youngest son,
who has four of the ruddiest, health
lest little boys I ever saw, | ate my
first dish Of Grape-Nuts food for sup
per with my little g%rcndsons. l be-
came exceedingly fond of it and have
eaten a package of it every week since,
and find it a delicious, refreshing and
strengthening food, leaving no i'll ef-
fects whatever, causing no e%ructations
with which l was formerly much trou.

hardly any of it, and dad wanted to
wrap some of the duck and Holsters and
things in a newspaper and take it to the
room for a lunch. but the waiter wouldn't
have it. But the cyclone struck the
house when dad and / got up to so out
of the dining-room, and the waiter
brought dad the check.
What is this?" said dad, as he put
on his glasses and looked at the check,
which was SAB and over.

his hand.

American plan said dad, as his chin
began to tremble.

waiter. "You pays for what you hor-
ders." and dad began to dig UP. He
looked at me as though l was to blame,
when he told me to order all there was
in sight. Well, | have witnessed heart
rending scenes, but | never saw any
thing that would draw tears like dad
digging down for that $43. The doc
tors at home had ordered excitement for
dad, but this seemed to be an overdose,
and | was afraid he would collapse. and
I offered him my glass of brown pop
to stimulate him, but he told me | could
go plumb, and if | spoke to him again
he would maui me. He got his roll half
out of his pistol pocket, and then talked
loud and said it was a damoutridge. and
he wanted to see Aston himself before
he would allow himself to be held up
by highwaymen, and then all the other
diners stood up and looked at dad, and g
lot of walters and bouncers surround
ed him, and then he pulled out the roll,
and it was pitiful to see him wet his
trembling thumb on his trembling dry
tongue and begin to peel off the bills.
like you peel the layers off an onion,
but he got off enough to pay for the
dinner, gave the waiter half a dollar, and
smiled a sickly smile at the head waiter.

broken-down old man. AS we got to the

take a joke, for he said: I'VE dined out

Manufactured Cotton.

There was a time when cotton grew;
now it is made. The French have &C.
quired the novel art of cotton making,
and to do so use the cellulose of a fir
tree. Can a fig tree bear thistles? Per
haps not, but a fir tree can grow cot
ton. The flbers of the tree are pulver-
lied by special machinery and treated
with steam and bisulphate of soda for &c
hours under a heavy pressure. The mess
is then washed and bleached, passed
between rollers to dry it, and reheated
with chloride of zinc and acid to which
has been added a little castor oil to give
a consistent paste. This c%ellulose mat
ter is then passed through a draw plate,
which produces a thread having an
exceedingly close resemblance to cotton.

on $43 worth of rich food, so when we
went to our room | told dad that | was
satisfied from what a bell boy told me
that the countess in the next room, who
had gold cords over her shoulders for
suspenders, was stuck on him, because
she was always inquiring who the love-
ly old gentleman was with the sweet
little boy. Dad he got SO interested that
he forgot to cuss me about ordering
that dinner, and he said he had noticed
her, and would like real well to get ac-
quainted with her, cause a man far away
from home, sick as a dog, with no low
ing wife to look after him, needed cheer
full company. So | told him | had it
all arranged for him to meet her, and
then | went out in the hall, sort of

you ought to have seen me. | jumped
up and put my hand inside the sheets of
the bed, and put that chestnut in there,
right about the middle of the bed, and
then, after learning French quite a spell,
with the maid, we heard the countess
getting off the elevator, and the maid
said l must skip, cause it was the count

told dad the whole thing was arranged
for him to meet the countess, in a half
an hour or so, as She had TO Write a few

Waldorf-Astoria, New York.-Dear
Uncle Ezra: We are still at this tav-
ern, but we don't do anything but sleep
here, and stay around in the lobby even
ings to let people look at us, and dad
wears that old s~wallow-tail coat he Lad
before the war, but he has got a new
silk hat, since we got here; one of these
shiny ones that is so slick it makes his
clothes look offul bum. We about went
broke on the first supper we had, or
dinner they call it here. You see, dad
thought this was about a three-dollar-a-
day house, and that the meals were in
cluded, like they do at Oshkosh, and so
when we went down to dinner dad said
we wouldn't do a thing to old Aston.
He let me order the dinner. but told me
to order everything on the bill-of-sale,
because we wanted to get the worth of
our three dollars a day. Well, honest,
l couldn't order all there was, cause
you couldn't have got it all on a billiard
table. Say, that list they gave me had
everything on it that was ever ct or
drunk, but l told dad they would fire us
out if we ordered the whole prescription,
so all | ordered was terrapin, canvas
back duck, oysters, clans, crabs, a lot of
new kinds of fish, and some beef and
mutton, and turkey, and w%oodcock, and
partridge, and quail, and English pleas
ant, and lobster and salads and ices, and
pie and things, just to stay our stomachs,
and when it came to wine, dad weak
ened, because he didn't want to set a
bad example to me, so he ordered hard
cider for hisself, and asked me if l want
ed anything to drink, and | ordered
brown pop. You'd a been tickled to see
the waiter when he took that order,
cause | don't s'pose anybody ever or
dered cider and brown pop there since
Astor skinned muskrats for a living,
when he was a trapper up north. Gosh,
but when they brought that dinner in,
you ought to have seen the sensation it
created. Most of the people in the
great dining hall looked at dad as though
he was a Grasses. or a Rockefeller, and
the head waiter bowed low to dad. and
dad thought it was Aston, and dad looked
dignifed and hurt at being spoken to
by a common tavern keeper. Well, We

A Wonderful Discovery.

Broadland, S. Dak., March 2S.-Quite a
sensation has been created here by the
publication of the story of G. w. Gray,
who after a special treatment for three
months was PROSTATE and helpless and
given up to die with Bright's Disease.
Bright's Disease has always been consid-
cred incurable, but evidently from the
story told by Mr.. Gray, there is a remedy
which will cure it even in the most adj
vanced stages. This is what he says:
Il was helpless as a little babe. My
wife and l searched everything and read
everything we could find about Bright's
Disease, hoping that l would be able to
find a remedy. After many failures my
wife insisted that | should try Dodd's
Kidney Pills. | praise God for the day
VIXEN | decided TO do so, for this remedy
met every phase of my case and in a
short time | was able to get out of bed,
and after a few weeks treatment | was
a strong, well man. Dodd's Kidney Pills
sared my life"
A remedy that will cure Bright's Dis
case will ctre any lesser Kidney Disease.
Dodd's Kidney Pills are certainly the
most wonderful discovery which modern
medical research has given to the world.

EVERY ONE ASKS HIM
HOW HE GOT RID OF HIS OBSTINATE
MUSCULAR RHEUMATISM,
Mr.. Jones Tells of the Way by Which He
Treated Himself Successfully
When Doctors Failed.

Mr.. Jones Tells of the Way by Which He
Treated Himself Successfully
When Doctors Failed.
Six physicians, all of them good, one of
them a specialist, had done their best
for Mr.. Jones at different times during
three years, and still he suffered fear
fully from the fortunes of rheumatism.
The rheumatism that had been dor
mant in his system was suddenly
brought to an acute stage by exposure
while he was drawing ice i'll February,
1901. From that time on for a period
of more than three years he was a COIL
slant sufferer. He tried many kinds Of
treatment, but the rheumatism wouldn't
= bulge. When regular doctors failed,
and one remedy after another proved
useless, many said: "I'should think he
would give it up and save his money"
OF his condition at this time, Mr.
Jones says: "My rheumatism started
in my right thigh, but in time it APP
peared in every muscle of my body. I
lost the use of my left arm en-
tirely and nearly lost the use of my
right one. My feet were badly affected,
especially the bottoms of the heels.
When my right side was affected there
was swelling, but the left side didn't
swell when the disease settled there.
The internal organs didn't seem to be
involved at all. The trouble was all in
the muscles and the nerves."
Among the few who still encouraged
Mr.. Jones to think that a cure might
yet be found was a friend who had rea-
son for great confidence in DR.. Will
liams' Pink Pills, and acting on her
advice he bought a box of them in Sep.
TENDER, 1904. The story of what fol-
lowed is brief, but nothing could be
more satisfactory.
when I was on the third box" says
Mr.. Jones, 81 could realize a change for
the better. I felt sure then that DR..
Williams Pink Pills were the right
medicine for my case. l kept on with
them for several weeks longer and now
I am entirely well, and everybody is
asking what I took"
Mr.. William Jones lives at Oxford,
Mich. DR.. Williams Pink Pills effect
wonderful cures in rheumatism, because
they work directly OH the blood which is
the seat of the disease. They are sold
by every druggist.
