BREAD DYSPEPSIA.

The Digesting Element Left Out.
Bread dyspepsia is common. It af-
fects the bowels because white bread is
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 pam
creatic juices in the human intestines
This diastase is absolutely necessary
to digest starch and turn 1t 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. 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 go so contrary
to natures Law. The food experts tina,
perfected Grape-Nuts Food, knowing
these facts, made use In their expert
ments 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 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 fs
pre-digested and its use in
place Of bread will quickly correct the
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 ee6ct 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.

Valuable Find.

While taking stock of the old ma
chinery at the Calcutta mint the en-
gineers found that a boiler. which
must have been put down in the first
half of the nineteenth century. was Of
the purest copper. Its value was enor-
mously greater than when it was
manufactured, because the great con-
sumption Of copper in electrical ma
chimes has raised the price of the
metal. The boiler was melted down
and converted into copper coins.

Ruse Of an Auto Driver.

A man who has several times been
arrested for exceeding the speed limit
in his automobile went across the
North river recently and was sworn
in as a special constable in New Jer-
sey, says the New York Sun. He got
his badge and then the fun began.
He went over to Jersey with his ma
chine and with a party Of friends set
all the speed laws at defiance. While
running along an officer stopped him.
The special constable at once threw
open his coat and displayed his badge.
Just arrested the chauffeur of this
machine and left him at MOrristown.
There was no one to take these peo-
pie home, and so 1 am running the
machine. Have got to hurry, too"
Off he went.
He has worked that several times,
and his friends are wondering how
long it will be before his badge is
taken away.

WORK OF AN INVALID.
Dresses One Hundred Dolls in Daint-
lest Fashion Every Year.

Dresses One Hundred Dolls I'm Daint-
lest Fashion Every Year.
An invalid woman living in the coun-
try Is mainly responsible for one OF
the most interesting philanthropies Of
the Christmas season. Every year dur
ing the summer months she dresses in
the most attractive manner possible 100
dolls. She takes the utmost pains with
every single dolly, and when they are
done they are things to dream of. In
addition to their pretty dresses and
dainty underwear, all of them have
charming bonnets or hats or little knit
ted Tam o'Shanters, and their tiny feet
are shod in dainty slippers made from
kid gloves. Toward the middle of De-
cember the dOllies are packed in a box
and dispatched to the clothing bureau
at 3O7 Mott street, where its opening
is a great event. At the same time
toys of all sorts aDd conditions, which
have been sent to the bureau during
the year, are brought from the rchiveS,
and the bureau dons its holiday clothes.
Unitarian interests are relegated to
the background for the time being, and
the bureau goes in for the superfiuous,
which, perhaps, gives more pleasure
than anything it does during the year.
The dollies sell at from to 10 cents
apiece, according to size, and when &
mother has eight children to supply
with toys and six little daughters, who
all want dolls, she gets a 'rake-off. .
The half dozen go to her for a mere
triEe. The clothing bureau is not a
mOney-making concern, but it always
sells things at nominal price, instead
Of giving them away.
Christmas-tree decorations are in
great demand, and for penny one can
buy-if one comes properly recommend
ed-any quantity of gew-gaws-
bunch Of crumpled tinsel, several glass
balls, with some of the glitter gone
and a dainty wax angel with a tip Of
one wing missing.
Kindergarten materials are also pop
ular, and brought tears to the eyes of
one mother, who eagerly bought a box
Of them for her crippled daughter.
Every year the bureau sends Christ
mas greetings in the form Of pretty
boxes Of candy to it's numerous patrons,
and it is not uncommon for six or
eight Of these boxes to go into one
home.-New York Tribune.

THE GARDEN OF FORGIVENESS.

There is garden, far, oh, far away
Kept for the souls who snned and suffered most
The sword of God forever guards the way,
And round its borders camps heavenly host
A gentle wind breathes through the tufted grass,
Rich with the scent of in their bloom.
And, with the wind, all sins and pass
Leaving a sweet contentment in their room.
Here are troubles; here that weep;
Here thoughts of sadness despair
But fairest flowers, in fullest beauty, sleep;
And softest sunlight fills the dreaming air.
The murmurings Of fountains, low and sweet,
Forever I'LL the and cease
Soothing the silence with gentle beat
Like kindly voices speaking words of peace
And here, forever and forever, rest
The weary souls, unburdened Of their sin:
And cursed things are here forgiven and blessed:
And wicked hearts made all clean within

Rode the Cont.

The house is full Of arnica
And mystery profound;
We do not dare to run about
Or make the slightest sound
We leave the big piano shut,
And do not strike a note

Since father rode the goat.
He Joined the lodge a week ago
Got in at a. m.
And sixteen brethren brought him home,
Though he says he brought them.
His wrist was sprained, and one big rip
Had rent his Sunday coat
There must have been a lively time
When father rode the goat.
He's resting on the couch to-day
And practicing his signs
The mailing signal, working grip,
And other monkeyshines.
He mutters passwords meath his breath.
And other things he'll quote
They surely had an evenings work
When father rode the goat.
He has a gorgeous uniform,
All gold and red and blue;
A hat with plumes and yellow braid,
And golden badges, too.
But somehow when we mention it
He wears a look SO grim
We wonder if he rode the goat
Or if the goat rode him.

Grow the Dairy Herd.

AS to the best method Of building
up dairy herd would say that with
out doubt the best plan is to build
from a carefully selected foundation in
which the ancestry Of the animals is
carefully considered as to purity Of
blood and performance. BY selecting
the females from such herd and re-
tanning them long enough to improve
their capacity herd may be built up
showing uniformity and possessing the
opportunity for high production
This method has been pursued by the
most successful dairymen in this state
and whenever it has been carefully
followed it has shown itself superior
to the plan where cows are purchased
from adjoining herds. The way to get
a dairy herd is to grow it.-E. E. Ell

INVESTMENT IN MOTH BALLS
Manner Of Using the Preventive

him, and he ambled out again. l had
forgotten all about my customer unit,
about four o'clock the next afternoon,
when I was forcibly reminded Of the
transaction OF the day before. After
! had waited on my customers in their
turn walked over to another coun-
ter and was there confronted with my
moth-ball investor. Without giving
me time to make an inquiry, he said:
"'Are yez the young mon that sold
me thin things yistiddy?' showing me
the remains of about half dozen of
the white balls.
Il answered in the affirmative, and
also inquired what the trouble was.
"'Av all the con games I've run up
