A BOYS BREAKFAST
There's a Natural Food That Makes
Its Own Way.

There's boy up In Hoosick Falls,
N. Y, who is growing into sturdy
manhood on Grape-Nuts breakfasts.
1T might have been different with him,
as his mother explains:
my 11-yearold boy is large, well
developed and active, and has been
made so by his fondness for Grape
Nuts food, At five years he was a
very nervous child and was subject
to frequent attacks OF indigestion
which used to rob him of his strength
and were very troublesome to deal
with. He never seemed to care for
anything for his breakfast until |
tried Grape-Nuts, and | have never
had to change from that. He makes
his entire breakfast of Grape-Nuts
food 1t is always relished by him
and he says that II satisfies him bet
ter than the ordinary kind of a meal.
Better than all he is no longer
troubled with indigestion or nervous
ness, and has got to be a splendidly
developed fellow since he began to
use Grape-Nuts food" Name given by

HONEYMOON IN A FREIGHT CAR
Journey Of Canadian Couple Eoonom-
: ical and Unique.

ICdi anu Unique.
"One of the queerest wedding jour.
neys l ever heard Of" the girl re-
marked, was that of friend of mine
who was married in Canada the other
day. She lived in Ontario, and her
husband had settled on farm in one
Of the new provinces in the far West.
After they were married they set out
for their new home in a freight car
that the bridegroom had specially
fixed for the journey.
"The front half of the car was ar
ranged as a sleeping and living room
and kitchen combined. They had the
necessary tables and folding chairs,
box cupboards for the dishes and
supplies, and big oil stove. Lamps
hung from the roof of the car, ship
fashion, and the whole interior looked
particularly coy when the bride had
finished the work begun by her hus-
band.
1.-THE odd part of the outfit was the
fact that the rear half of the car was
fitted up as stable for the two horses
that were a part of their wedding
gifts. The journey ended safely and
happily, I should imagine, from the
letters I have had from the bride. Nc
girl who could have private car OF
a steam yacht for such journey
would be more enthusiastic than my
friend was over her economical and
unique honeymoon"

PICTURES ON PATIENTS BACK.
Young Doctor Amused Himself to His
DISADVANTAGE,


The doctors were discussing cases
and experiences when one of them
said, did ever tell how / lost the
patronage of that wealthy Mrs. A.?
You know she was a nervous, fidgety
woman and half her ailments were
imaginery. She fell off a couple of
steps one day and famed her back.

quired a painting with iodine for
week. But at the end of that week
she would not have II that she was

on as little iodine as possible, but TAX

been too quick she never would have
been satisfied. Finally got to paint
ing designs on that woman's back just
to pass the time. She pretended she
could not get out of bed, and thought
she would never see them. | put the
nurse on and she promised to keep
quiet, One day my patient got up
and, selling a hand glass, walked ov-
er to the mirror to see for herself
how her back was getting on. What
she saw | will not tell. but she dis
pensed with my services as soon as
she could get hold of me by phone

MARRIAGE EASY IN SCOTLAND.
Simple Declaration Sufflces to Mako
Couple Man and Wife.

SSbPiD wan vvuGs
To be married by Scotch laws one
must have resided for a fortnight in
the country. After that 1t Is quite suf-
ifcient for two people to say before
witnesses that they take each other
las man and wife to marry them as
legally and as firmly as II the arch
bishop Of Canterbury himself had per.
formed the ceremony, 1t is not alone
when the declaration is solemn and In,
tentional that the marriage is bind,
ing. Such declaration made in jest
Is enough to hold as firmly as II 1t
were in earnest. Many young people
have thus slipped into matrimony I'M
Willingly.
Even for man to address a woman
as his wife, either by writing or by
speech and for her to respond In the
same terms, constitutes a marriage in
Scotland. Anyone who has ever read
Wilkie Collins novel, Man and
Wife" will remember there case in

the hero, signing herself your Wife;

ferent to write his reply on the back

falls into the hands of an unscrupu-
lous person, who, to levy blackmail
on the hero, keeps 1t, and produces
1t as evidence of marriage, No other
form had been gone through and yet
the couple were married legally.
