o,connor,s wa Saved Him.

Justin A. Jacobs, for many years
the city clerk of Cambridge, used to
relate the following, as illustrating the
ready wit of an 1rishman.
In the early years Of his service.
one of the duties of this Office was the
preparation of the voting lists of the
city and the registration of new vot.
ers. One of the qualifications of q
voter was the ability to write.
One evening when his Office was
full of men seeking registration, an
Irishman, Patrick O'Connor, asked to
be registered, and was given the
usual blank, with the request that he
sign his name. This he finally did,
with great effort and in an almost H.
legible manner.
One of the onlookers, seeing that
this was probably the extent of his lit
erary accomplishments, called out:
"Mr. Jacobs, let him write your
name"
Instantly Pat looked up and replied:

New Hampshire Man Stuck to Letter
of the Deed.
There are some literal minded per-
sons who are never satisfied with the
spirit of the law, but who consider it
necessary to enter into compromises
with the letter. OF such was an old
citizen of Hopkinton, N H., good
many years ago, and his juggling with
his conscience is recorded by Mr.. Lord
in the records of the town.
The old man used to boast that he
never went back on his exact word,
but had no conjunction in going
round 1t. Once he wished to buy a
certain tract Of land, and when the
owner named the price he exclaimed:
Il won't give it! l tell you will
never give i'll"
The owner did not yield, neverthe-
-ess. A few days afterward the old
man called again. He said nothing
about the land, but stepped into the
owners barn and picked up fail.
What's that?" he asked.
THAT? Oh, that's fail"
$50 you call that fail. do you?
Well, what would you take for it?"
The owner named very small sum.
Nov, I'll tell you what I'll do"
continued the old man. "I'll give you
the price you mentioned for your land
and this fail. And you mustn't forget
the fail. 1t must be included in the
deed"
So the legal instrument was duly
made out, signed and delivered, re-
cording the purchase of a certain
tract of land situated thus and SO,

BREAD DYSPEPSIA.
Thu Dige sting Element Left Ont.

Bread dyspepsia is common 1t az
fects the bowels because white bread
is nearly all starch, ane starch is d.
stomach proper.
Up under the shell of the wheat
berry Nature has provided curious
deposit which is turned into diastase
when it is subjected to the saliva and
to the pancreatic juices in the human
inteStines.
This diastase is absolutely necessary
to digest starch and turn it into grape
sugar, which is the next form; but that
part of the wheat berry makes dark
-four, and the modern miller cannot
readily sell dark -four, r. natures val
liable digester is thrown out and the
human system must handle the starch
as best it can, without the help that
Nature intended.
Small wonder that appendicitis, peril
tonitis, constipation, and all sorts or
trouble exist when we go so contrary;
to Natures law. The food experts that
perfected Grape-Nuts Food, knowing
these facts, made use in their expert!
m:ents of the entire wheat and barley,
including all the parts, and subjected
them to moisture and long continued
warmth, which allows time and the
proper conditions for developing the
diastase, outside of the human body.
In this way the starchy part Is trans
formed into grape-sugar in a perfectly
natural manner. without the use OF
chemicals or any outside ingredients.
The little sparkling crystals of grape
sugar can be seen ON the pieces OF
Grape Nuts. This food therefore is
naturally pre-digested and its use in
place of bread will quickly correct the
troubles that have been brought about
by the too free use of starch in the
food, and that is very common in the
human race to-day.
The effect of eating Grape-Nuts ten
DAYS or two weeks and the discontin-
uance of ordinary white bread, is very
marked. The user will gain rapidly in
strength and physical and mental
health.
There's reason"
