Boulogne.-A woman who took two

to receive an official warning from the

been discovered an unrepealed law of
Louis XIV. forbidding the. taking of
sea water lest those taking 1t extract

In trying circumstances.
When Mahommed the sixth usurped
he throne of Granada, he set aside his
elder brother Yousuf, the rightful heir
to the throne, so that the kingdom
might be secure to his own children.
He caused Prince Yousuf to be impris-

The unfortunate prince, though

rebellion would be in vain. He was
man of commanding presence, cour-
teous to all about him, and of so win
ming and gracious a manner that he
gained the love and fealty of his entire
household, any one of whom would
gladly have risked life in his cause.
This was especially true of the alcayde
of Shalobanya, who was his devoted
friend.
Prince Yousuf passed the weary days
OF his captivity the best he could, his
favorite recreations being the game
of chess, of which he was a passionate

PHYSICIAN SAYS
Children Thrive on Grape Nuts and
Cream.

A Mass. physician has found cure
for constipation in children - citing
fifteen cases-by feeding them Grape
Nuts.
Some time ago." he writes, II be.
came interested in your food, Grape
Nuts, as cure for constipation in
children. Having tried 1t in my OVID
family, / have advised 1t in fifteen
cases in which all suffered with con.
stipation more or less severe. The re-
suit has been absolute relief in all.
Il write this that other children
may be benefited"
How much better it is thus to bring
about healthy action in the bowels
of growing children by natural means,
than to feed them with improper food,
requiring some kind of cathartic at
intervals to overcome constipation.
Grape-Nuts gives energy to the en-.
tire nervous system including the
nerves that cause the natural con-
traction and relaxation of the bowel
muscles, that propel the food mass
along.
1t is predigested also, and the blood
easily absorbs the food as 1t goes
through the body, storing up vitality
and force for the functions of all the
organs.
Children especially, should get the
right start as to habits of living.
They should grow into bright, strong,
cheerful men and women. Grape-Nuts
solve the question of the start; a
wholesome appetite will do the rest.
Children's teeth are benefited by
chewing Grape-Nuts, also. Your dent
list will tell you that certain amount
of exercise in chewing firm food, is
necessary to grow strong, beautiful
teeth.
Teeth need exercise just the same
as muscles, If they are to grow
strong and firm as nature intended.
Grape-Nuts gives the exercise and
also gives material from which good
teeth are made,

words:
