There may never be another race for

The very popularity of the event may
prove to be its undoing, for the great

was badly handicapped and the for

seldcn's Long Wait for Wealth.

SeIdcn's Long Wait for wealth.
twenty-five years ago, writes Leroy
Scott in Technical World Magazine. a
young man with q scheme for car
riage to be run by gasoline motor
called upon large manufactures of We
hicles and farm implements. The young
man had spent years upon his patent
Its success meant fortune to him. and
also triumph over the men who had
laughed at him. So he used his best
eloquence to induce the manufacturer
to put his automobile on the market
But the manufacturer shook his head.
"You've been wasting your time on that
scheme" he said. And II | went into
It, I'd be wasting my money. No, sir
even If it worked, nobody'd ever care
to ride in your explosion buggy"
The young man was George Il. Sci
den, and what this manufacturer said
was also said by dozens of others. To
day there are in use I'm the United
States about 10000 explosion bug,
ges;" and about 20 per cent Of all gaso-
line automobiles made in this country
or imported into 1t are licensed under
the Seldcn patent-the royalties paid
during the last three years amounting
to SS1i ,lS3.

LOOSE TEETH

Made Sound by Eating Grape-Nuts.
Proper food nourishes every part Of
the body, because Nature selects the
different materials from the food we
eat, to build bone, nerve. brain, mus
Gle, teeth etc.
All we need is to eat the right kind
of food slowly. chewing it velour
digestive organs take it up into the
blood and the blood carries 1t all
through the body, to every little nook
and corner.
If some one would ask you. as
Grape-Nuts good for loose teeth?",
you'd probably say. mo, I don't see
how it could be-" But woman in
Ontario writes:
For the past two years inve used
Grape Nuts Food with most excellent
results. 1t seems to take the place OF
medicine in many ways, builds up the
nerves and restores the health gener

"A little Grape-Nuts taken before
retiring soothes my nerves and gives

NERVOUS DEBILITY
A Scranton Woman Tells How D..

Nervous debility is the common name
for what the doctors term neurastheoia.
1t is characterized by mental depression,
tits OF the "blues," or melanehsly, loss
OF energy and spirits. The patieaS's eyes
become dull. the pink fades frsn the
cheeks, the memory becomes defective SO
that it is difficult to recall dates and
names twill. Some of these symptoms
only may be present or all of tlisAl. The
remedy lies in toning up the nervous
system and there Is no medicine better
adapted for this purpose than DIR
