BREAD DYSPEPSIA.
The Digesting Element Left Out


Bread dyspepsia is common. It af-
fects the bowels because white bread IL
nearly all starch, and starch is digested
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 PAN
create 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 -four, so natures val
liable digester Is thrown out and the
human system must handle the starch
as best It can, without the help that ma.
ture intended.
Small wonder that appendicitis, peri
tonitis, constipation and all sorts of
trouble exist when we so so contrary
TO natures law. The food experts that
perfected Grape-Nuts Food, knowing
these facts. made use In their expert
HeHlS OF lNe tnllTe WneuI ana barley,
including all the parts, and subjected
them to moisture' and long continued
warmth. which allows time and tho
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 perfect
ly 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 eeffct 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"

BLACK SPECTER IN MINE.
Two Men After Warning of Subter-
ranean Apparition Are Speed
lily Killed.

Eveleth, Minn.-Superstition has
been aroused among the miners at
Eveleth and its surrounding locations
by statements said to have been made
by Walter Koki and Hjalmar Lima,
mining partners, who were killed in the
Adams mine recently.
According to report Lima said that
when he and his partner were at work in
No shaft on Friday. April 6, they were
met by what seemed to be black man.
The apparition is said to have put its
hands on the men and to have com
manded them TO go away. Lima told
his friends that he was so impressed by
the vision that he had determined to
work In the shaft no longer.
Koki, however, laughed at his part
ner's awe, and, refusing to leave the
drift, Joined the timber gang. The
same day Koki wandered into desert-
ed shaft that was filled with deadly
gases and met his death. He was not
missed until the following Sunday,
when searchers found the body. SO
overpowering were the fumes that 1t
was necessary to raise the body to the
surface with hook and tackle.
Lima was deeply impressed by the
fate of his partner and talked with sew
eral countrymen about his experience
with the black man" He was told
that he was the victim of practical
joker, but nevertheless he adhered to
his resolution not to work in the shaft
again. Lima secured n position as ore
sampler and a week later he was thrown
from an ore car and so badly injured
that he died.
His death caused his fellow country
men to recall the "black wrath which
is alleged to have warned the men, and
although there are many skeptics some
of the miners firmly believe that the
spirit will again make its appearance
and If 1t does the persons approached
will meet a certain doom.

San Francisco.-Red wine, hundreds

The Italian residents broke In their
cellar doors, and barrel after barrel
of red Italian wine was rolled oul and
their heads smashed in. The bucket
brigade then turned from wa,er to
wine.
Sacks were dipped in wine and used
for beating out the fire. Beds were
stripped of their blankets, and these
were soaked In the wine and hung
over exposed portions of the cottages,
and men on the roofs drencned the
shingles and the sides of the house

A Valuable Agent.

The glycerine employed in DR.. Pierce's
medicines greatly enhances the medi-
cinal properties which IL extracts ana
holds In solution much better than alco,
hol would. 1t also possesses medicinal
properties of its own, being valuaole
demulcent, nutritive, antiseptic and anti
ferment. 1t adds greatly to the efficacy
Of the Black Cherrybark, Golden seal
root, Stone root and Queens root, con-
tained in Golden Medical Discovery IN
subduing chronic, or lingering coughs,
bronchial, throat and lung affections,
for all of which these agents are recon.
mended by standard medical authorities.
In all cases where there Is wasting
away Of flesh, loss of appetite, with
weak stomach, as in the early stages OF
consumption, there can be no doubt thar
glycerine acts as valuable nutritive and
aids the Golden Seal root, Stone root,
Queens root and Black Cherrybark In
promoting digestion and building up tho
flesh and strength, controlling the cough
and bringing about healthy condition
Of the whole system. OF course, 1T must
not be expected to work miracles. 1t will
not cure consumption except in it's earlier
stages. 1t will cure very severe, obstin.
ate, chronic coughs, bronchial and laryn.
geal troubles, and chronic sore throat
with hoarseness. In acute coughs 1t is
not so effective. 1t is in the lingering
coughs, or those of long standing, even
when accompanied by bleeding from
lungs, that it has performed its most
marvellous cures. Send for and read the

ORIGIN OF "TWENTY-THREE"
Hero Of Dickens Story Who Died on
the Guillotine Was in Line on
That Number.

Dickens lovers have no trouble these
days in proving that all Of our sup
posed up-to-date Amcricanisms are
merely stolen expressions from their
favcrite author. They have indeed
found that Dickens used many phrases
ana expressions that have been taken
up to-day as universal Dy-words, and
the latest acquisition of the enthrs-
lasts of this sort is told in the state
ment that Dickens originated the eX-
preston "twenty-three," which in the
express "all in" "chase yourself"
"skiddoo," "the end" and many other
things.
Il will be remarked by anybody, says
the Kansas City Star, that in the
last chapter of The Tale of Two Cit
les" Dickens describes the procession
of human-leaden tumbrils to the gull
lotine. In one of them is Sidney Car
ton, the hero. In a garden overlook
ing the hideous machine is a group OF
old women knitting. AS the heads fall
in the basket one after another the
women knit stealthily and count them
out loud The paragraph describing
the last moments of Sidney Carton
reads thus:
The murmuring OF many voices,
tho upturning OF many faces, the
pressing on OF many footsteps in the
cutSkirts of the crowd. so that 1t
swells forward in mass, like one
great heave of water, all flashes away.
Twenty-three!"

BUZZARDS MENACE HEALTH
Coast Towns Of Mexico Find That
Carrion Birds Pollute Their
Water.

San Antonio, Tex.-There is an agi-
tation now on in the coast towns of
Mexico to eliminate the vultures. Mex.
leo, like most of the states of America
has cherished the carrion crow or tur.
key buzzard and fine Is imposed for
killing these birds. They were assumed
to be great sanitary agents. But eX.
perience has shown the people of the
hot lands where these repulsive fowls
are numbered by the thousand in every
vicinity, that the water supply is often
contaminated by the fowls.
In Port of Spain the birds have been
slaughtered by the thousand this
spring and their bodies formed into an
immense funeral pyre.
Tampico, Mexico, is the pioneer Of
the Mexican in the movement to kill
the vultures. That city is infested by
the fowls to an extent that Is not
equaled by any other Mexican coast
city. Sanitary experts there have re-
ported that instead of being a public
benefactor as scavenger the vulture
has become a public nuisance and a
menace to the health of the community
