Ha.lp. m. Food.

The raisin, which is only the grape
dried In the sun, is no longer considered
as purely an article OF luxury. but is
said by those who profess TO know,
to be OF intrinsic food value. and con-
tains elements which are fully as nee
essary TO good health as hbrine. dex-
trine, etc. Sugar. which the dried
grape retains in its natural state. has
long been recognized as a genuine food,
So much so that manufactured sugar is
no longer regarded as an article OF
luxury. but as n household necessity.
This being so, 1t would seem that dried
grapes, or raislns, would furnish the
sugar which the system needs in It's
purest and most concentrated form, for
natures laboratory surpasses all the
skill OF the chemists. and outdoes all
the triumphs Of analysis. quantitntiye
and qualitative. 1t is acknowledged
that the grape itself. In Its fresh state.
IS one OF the finest corrcctives found
for the human body. and 1t should be
eaten much more than II Is.

CHAPTER x.
CAUGHT in the Trap.


Il was only after he had sat min
ute or two. amid silence so profound
that he could have heard his heart
beat, that Alexis Nazimoff began to
reason with himself What II this
were trap?"
The idea no sooner occurred than
II was dismissed. No one had induc'
ed him to visit the place. His com
ing had been entirely Of his own voli-
tion, and could not have been antici'
pated. Besides, there could be no
possible mistake about Iyan's amaze
ment when he had revealed his name,
and there was something in the man
ner OF the man. despite his excite
ment, that forbade the idea Of treach-
cry.
Then he thought of Ilda.
She herewith her evident refine
ment and highly wrought nature
here. in this dark. gloomy, forbidding
place--in the cellar-like apartment of
a house in the lower quarter Of the
town. What did 1t mean? And she
was still here!
Alexis looked around, thls time
with more eager interest
There was apparently no DOOR sx-
cept the one at the top of the steps.
II puzzled him. Had Ida gone in
the interim between the time when
his man had seen her enter and hi
own arrival! Then he remembered
that Ivan had not, after all. admitted
that his sister was in the place.
"well." was his silent conclusion.
there is nothing for 1t but to walt
his return. I must be patient"
When a man gets into frame OF
mind when he says he must be pa
tient. the most natural thing in tie
world to enable him to endure pa
tience with a comparatively cheerful
equanimity is cigar. To his an
noyance he found that his cigar case
was In his greatcoat pocket.
Suddenly his eyes rested on fvan's
coat. In Russia all men are smokers.
and Alexis felt the chances of End.
ing cigar were strongly in his favor.
He lifted the cloak, and as he did so
he uttered an exclamation OF pleas.

The mayor has show that he will
stand for no dilly.dally and he is re-
ceiying the highest commentator
from all right minded citizens.
The mere ordering sidewalks cleared
is not enough. That has been done
before, but it is ignored. 1t is the
instructions to the street commissioner
to hire men aud Ehave the work done
at once, charging the cost against the
property, that counts and it is this
firm stand that is admired in Mayor
Brace. The only way to havs decent
streets in Perth Amboy is to have
clean sidewalks and the only way to
have clean sidewalks is to clean them,
not tomorrow or next week Int NOW.
The mayor gave everyone a fair
chance to do the work themselves. He
is constantly riding about the city and
he saw that it was rot generally done.
His order to the police and street
commissioner followed.
A mau to be mayor needs plenty of
backbone, capable Of taking a firm
stand and then standing here. Mayor
Brace has shown that he can fill the
bill. He is going to cut out a great
deal Of this do as you please method
which has handicapped this city so
long That is what lie was elected
for. There may be some 10 g%rumble, |
