NO MEDICINE.
But Change of Food Gave Final Relief

Most diseases start in the aliment-
ary canal-stomach and bowels.
A great deal of our stomach and
bowel troubles come from eating too
much starchy and greasy food.
Tho 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 if we eat too much, as most
of us do, the organs that should di-
gest this kind of food are overcome
by excess of work, so that fermenta-
ton, Indigestion, and a long train
of ails result.
Too much fat also is hard to digest,
stomach, belching gas, and 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, 1 know now,
from eating starchy and greasy food.
II 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 I began to use it. 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 1 wish with
pleasure. We eat Grape-Nuts and
cream for breakfast, and are very
fond Of It," Name given by Postum

FLAeLER's LATEST SCHEME.
All Rail to Havana-WiIl Have Some
Train Carrying Boats.

Speaking of the plans of HIM. Flag
Ter. which have interested the engi-
neering world, and also of another
scheme that will revolutionize travel
from Cuba to New York, the lew
York Commercial says:
while congress and the president
and he-public> are in a sorry sort of
snarl over the Panama canal, a pri-
vate American citizen is quietly in
vestigating a matter of water trans
portation. and may yet startle the
world with the results. Henry NJ
tlagler has given orders TO his rail-
road engineers to devise a feasible
scheme by which through trains over
the Florida East Coast railway may
land passengers in Havana, without
change Of cars. 1t is said that he
believes that boats, constructed some
what after the model of ferry boats,
can be built with a train carrying
capacity, and at the same time capa-
BILE of navigating the Gnlf of Mexico
in all weather. If his plan is found
feasible. its operation would not only
revolutionize travel to and from the
Queen Of the Atlantic, but would also
provide a vastly improved service
and possibly effect an improvement in
the way of fast freight service that
would be of great advantage to var
ious lines of business. This new de-
parture by Mr.. Flagler does not mean
that he has abandoned the project
of bridging the gulf across to Key West
from the southern terminous of his
railroad on the lower east coast of
the railroad: it was more properly, a
plan for connecting a chain of keys
by trestle work. using the most shall
low places to be found, and finally for
spanning the place for the last key
to Key West with something very like
a bridge. 1t is plain that this develop
er of the hotel industry in Florida has
no idea of resting until his railroad
system actually embraces Cuba and
some of the larger West Indian is
lands without change of cars"

Judge Bullock Will Preside.

Active preparations are in progress,
on the part of attorneys and court
officials. for the trial of Sam and Hop
Wilder, charged with the murder of
Oscar Brannen. which will begin next
Monday morning in circuit court.
Judge Bullock of Ocala, will occupy
the bench during this trial. A spec
ial venire of $50 jurors has been sum-
moned by the sheriff's deputies, and it
is believed that a competent jury can
be secured from this number. These
men are being summoned mostly from
the West Coast section of the county
as nearly everybody in the eastern
section of the county is interested in
the case one way or the other TO such
an extent that it would be difficult to
find an unprecedented juror in that re-
Sion.
1t is now stated that Senator Thorn
as Palmer will assist State Attorney
Phillips in the prosecution Of the case.
Mr.. Palmer represented the state at
the habeas corpus hearing before
Judge Wall. For the defense, Spark
