FAINT AND WEAK
THE WRONG BREAKFAST DON'T~LAsr TILL
DINNER.

The fact that Grape-Nuts is a concentrated brain
and muscle food. and supplies actual nourshment
in abundance places it in a class distinct from a
host of cereal foods that simply taste good" but
have not the body
Michigan lady noticed big difference when
she used Grape-Nuts for breakfast. She writes:
My little boy puny and ill-nourished
we feared would never raise him. He could
not digest starchy- foods at al until he ate Grape
Nuts. which agreed with him perfectly.
"He began to gain much that people asked
me what had found to make the difference.
'Realiz;n, how much good 1t had done him,
determined TO try 1t myself. fer 1 have always
been troubled with indigestion and constipation,
taking pill every night for years, and tonics

''Skeptical was finally threw away the pills
and began to Grape-Nuts with eggs, three
times a day, and plenty of fruit and whole wheat
bread.
II perfectly surprised at how much 1t has
helped me. I have gained much strength and
feel like different person. am never distressed
after eating and am always ready for my next
meal-partienarly breakfast. -
Formerly, when ate a hearty breakfast It dis
tressed me rarely ready for dinner, but
have proved the right kind OF food will allow me
a good breakfast and no trouble.
'.For breakfast i now use Grape Nuts with

MUSCULAR MIDSHIPMAN.
Raises the Strength Record at the
Naval Academy.

The former Naval Academy strength rec
ord of 1909, made by Midshipman Ryden In
1903. was yesterday broken by Midship
A. H. Douglas. president of the second
class. who boosted the mark to 1908 In
holding this record Midshipman Douglas
adds one more to his long list of athletic
honors, for he is generally regarded as the
best athlete who has ever entered the Naval
Academy. Since he was fifteen years old
he has been pursued by managers in the
Southern Base Ball League, who wished to
get him to pitch.
Throughout his home state, Tennessee.
Douglas Is looked up to as an authority on
all subjects pertaining to athletics, fire.
quently being called upon to referee boxing
matches or settle disputed points. When
this young Samson got his leg broken In
the game with Princeton two years ago
rumors were circulated that he contem-
plated resigning from the naval service. At
that time he received many excellent offers
10 coach athletic teams, the best being to
train the basket ball team of a prominent
northern seminary.
Douglas says that he VIII not be content
with letting the strength record stay where
II now Is, but will raise II still higher before
he graduates.

Talk Of Cash Settlement.
In signing the separation papers yesterday
Senator and Mrs. Plat did not meet. Mrs.
Plat went to. the offices of her lawyers, at
IL Broadway, and Senator Platt went to
the office of Judge Hatch, at 30 Nassau
street, SO it was stated on authority last
night.
The negotiations were conducted between
the two Offices. Mrs. Plat, it was said
first signed the papers, and the agreement
was taken to Judge Hatch's office and
signed by the senator. At the suggestion
of Judge Hatch all hands agreed to make
no further statement than simply the MAX
ing public of the agreement
Senator Plat was driven to his home at
nue.. He retired at Z o'clock, being some
what fatigued by the proceedings of the
day, and left word that he was not to be
disturbed by any one. Senator Platt's
heath, 1t was said at the hotel last night
is better than 1t has been in some time
That there had been a settlement made
by the senator is the general opinion among
his friends. They say that the property at
Highland Mills was decided over to Mrs.
Platt some time ago and that she has
owned the handsome residence in WASH
ington for long time. In addition to this
property friends of the senator said that
Mrs. Platt had received more than 800
shares of United States Express stock
many months ago. and that her income
from this amounted to over 1920 year.
One of the lawyers for Mrs. Plat adj
land Mills and Washington property and
some United States Express Company
stock, but just how much of the latter he
could not say Those close to Senator
Plat argued that Mrs. Platt would not
agree to a separation without some extra
compensation in view of the fact that the
property and stock were hers without
question.
Noted for Her Beauty.
Mrs. Platt's maiden name was Carrie
Thompson, and she was born in Portage
Lake. Me-. when the little town was not
much more than camp of lumbermen,
quite remote from civilization. Even when
very young the girl was noted for her beau
ty. While her brothers worked the farm
and helped the lumbermen she studied at
the village school.
She had grown to be a tall black-eyed
pretty girl when one day there came to the
village travelling man named Snow. With
in three months Carrie Thompson had be-
come Mrs. Snow. and was living in Wood
stock New Brunswick. There her daugh-
ter (now Mrs Carmody) was born. Two
years after her marriage to Snow trouble

You will have to see the senator IL you

remember that we have separated. What
he does Is now his own business am not
thinking about any divorce, as 1 have just
told you, and don't think he is. However,
that is for him to say.
Good Reasons; Won't Tell Them.
THE reasons for the separation? Really,
now, what is the use of going into any
discussion? 1t stands to reason that there

papers just for the fun of it. didn't any
