IN OCEAN DEPTHS.

Some of the most beautiful sights
are found in the seattle coral reefs
and the sunken gardens, filled with
strange marine plants. Some marine
animals live only in the purest wa
ter, others only in the foulest water;
for every condition there is a life tt
fit it.
In all ocean basins, hills and ridges
as we'll as troughs and deep holes, oc
cur, and the bottom is covered with
the skeletons of marine animals
changed by time into slime and stone
Some of the animals of the ocea1
have no eyes, having no need of them
others have hundred eyes.
The largest animal and the tiniest
animal are found in the sea. In places
the sea is 10000 feet deep. It's aver
age depth is over 10000 feet. Twice
every "a hours the water rises anc
falls. At the entrance to the Bay
of Fundy the rise at spring tide is NJ
less than 70 feet. The natural powe,
that controls the tide is a tremendous
one.
And the plant life in the ocean is
almost as remarkable as the ANNA,
life Learned men have been study
ing it for centuries and are only be
ginning to understand it. If you want
to be interested as no novel can in
terest you, procure book telling in
a simple manner of the life in the
seas. There are plenty of such books
written for the people rather than fol
scientists.

of the ocean live on each other. One
animal kills it's prey by means of ar

Slums Always in East.

"A city's sums" said a globe trot-
ter, "are always in its eastern quarter.
I wonder why?
"Take New York. It's east side is it's
slum side. So it is with London. The
east end is the; slum end.
"Of Philadelphia, Chicago, San
Francisco, Canton and Madrid the
same thing holds good as know from
personal experience.
1.-THE only possible ground l can give
for a city's slums being invariably in
its eastern quarter is that this quarter
is the one that is exposed to the harsh
and unpleasant rigors of the east

BREAD. DYSPEPSIA.

The Digesting Element Left Out.
Bread dyspepsia is common. 1t af-
fects the bowels because white bread
is nearly all starch, and starch is d.
gested in the intestines, not in the
stomach proper.
Up under the shell Of the wheat
berry nature has provided a 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
flour, and the modern miller cannot
readily sell dark flour, so 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. :.t~N
Small wonder that appendicitis, per.
itonitis, constipation and all sorts OF
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

them to moisture and long continued

the family. Whether she is sick or
well, whether it rains or shines, she
must get to her place of employment
perform the duties exacted of her
smile and be agreeable.
Among this class the symptoms of
female diseases are early manifest by
weak and aching backs, pain in the
lower limbs and lower part of the
stomach. In consequence of frequent
wetting of the feet, periods become
painful and irregular, and frequently
there are faint and dizzy spells, with
loss Of appetite, until life is a burden.
All these symptoms point to a de-
rangement of the female organism
which can be easily and promptly
cured by Lydia E. Pinlkham's Vegeta-
BILE Compound. !
