THE FAITH OF THE BOY.

The four.year-old son Of a certain
western senator had very high opin-
ion of the Importance of his father.
The latter tells how, on one occasion
in their western home, the lad came
across a magazine in which, by some
chance, there were engraved, side by
side, portraits of the president and the
senator mentioned.
When the lad caught sight Of his
fathers features he broke into broad
smile. That's a good picture of you,
daddy" said he.
Very good, my son."
who's the man next to you, dad
dy?" asked the youngster.
why, my SOM" exclaimed the SEN
ator, don't you know? That is one
of the greatest men of the world, a
man more admirable and more power
full than any king. That, my son, Is
President Roosevelt"
The lad again looked at the picture
of the president. Then, after thought
full, pause, he observed:
Say, daddy, the people in the east
will be awful proud when they see the
presidents picture next to yours, won't
they?"-American Spectator.

NO MEDICINE.
But Change Of Food Gave Final Relief.

Most diseases start in the aliment-
airy canal-stomach and bowels.
A great deal of our stomach and
bowel troubles come from eating too
much starchy and greasy food.
The stomach does not digest any of
the starchy food we eat-white bread,
pastry, potatoes, oats, etc.-these
things are digested in the small intes-
tines, and II we eat too much, as most
of us do, the organs that should d.
gest this kind of food are overcome
by excess Of work, SO that fermenta-
ton, indigestion, and long train
of ails result.
Too much fat also Is hard to digest,
and this is changed into acids, sour
stomach, belehing gas. and a bloaty,
heavy feeling.
In these conditions change from
indigestible foods to Grape-Nuts will
work wonders in not only relieving
the distress but in building up a
strong digestion, clear brain and
steady nerves. A Wash. woman
writes:
about five years ago suffered with
bad stomach-dyspepsia indigestion,
nstipation-caused, / know now,
from eating starchy and greasy food.
Il doctored for two years without
any benefit. The doctor told me there
was no cure for me. could not eat
anything without suffering severe
pain In my back and sides, and / be-
came discouraged.
"A friend recommended Grape-Nuts
and began to use 1t. In less than
two weeks / began to feel better, and
inside of two months / was a well
woman and have been ever since.
Il can eat anything l wish with
pleasure. We eat Grape-Nuts and
cream for breakfast, and are very
fond Of It," Name given by Postum

UNDERSTOOD WHAT WAS SAID.
In no Other Way Can Actions Of Cat
Be Explained.

AS striking a cat story as I have
heard in a long time comes from Al
ton, N. NJ, and is vouohed for abso-
lutely, says a writer in the Boston
Record. The cat was accustomed to
visit the next door neighbor after each
meal to be fed and petted, bringing
also two kittens.
One of the women at the house thus
visited, who had entertained a dislike
for cats, finally, on observing the ami
NAL, expressed aloud liking for the
gray kitten and said she intended to
ask to be allowed to keep 1t.
The next day when Mother Cat
came for her bits only one kitten ac-
companied her, but she took away
some choice morsels for the one left
at home. This continued several days,
when the woman who had first ex-
pressed intention to get the kitten
which the cat was feeding, remarked
that she had given up wholly the idea
of securing the gray kitten. All three
felines appeared at the next meal and
have done so since.

The extraordinary popularity OF fine
white goods this summer makes the
choice of Starch matter Of great i'm
portance. Defiance Starch, being free
from all injurious chemicals, is the
only one which is safe to use on fine
fabrics. It's great strength as a stiff
ener makes half the usual quantity of
Starch necessary, with the result of
perfect finish, equal to that when the
