his train at a convenient station and

Harle into the smoking compartment

with a 50-page confession duplicating

under the direction Of Second Vice
President Kingsley, Harry H. ,Bottome,
a lawyer of New York, and a detective,

1t was discovered that Devers had
been in Chihuahua a few weeks before
his death, and that nothing was known
about him except thar he was a hard
drinller, and of a type iof social out
cast common enough in that territory.
This strengthened a theory that the
very possession of a $4,000 policy by
suci man required some further
explanation, let alone possible suspi-
,cious circumstances attending his
death. So the investig ators turned to
the payment of the ,5evefs policy at

BREAD DYSPEPSIA.
The Digesting Element Left Out.

The Digesting Element Left Out. q
Bread dyspepsia is common. 1t 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 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
-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, peril
tonitis, constipation, and all sorts of
trouble exist when we 60 SO contrary
to natures law. The food experts thar
perfected Grape-fJuts Food, i, 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 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 it's use in
place of bread will quickly correct the
troubles that have been brought about
by Ahs too free ,use of starch in the

Gray was not overanXious TO make
his death possible source of profit to
Richardson and Mason, but he con-
sented to be Sanguinetto for the pur-
poses Of the policy, and to own Mason
as David Sanguinetto, his son and
heir. After various introductions the
policy was made out and the deal
closed-apparently. What introduced
a new element into it that Rich
ardson and his friend Mason had not
counted on was the fact that Harry
Bottome and couple of detectives
had been keeping in nightly touch
with Gray and incidentally had been
doing little work on the side, listen
ing to conversations between Rich
ardson and Mason when Gray wasn't
around. 1t was in one OF these CON

matters had gone far enough. They
laid their information before the dis,

Guiding Gray, for it was inexpedient
just then to have an exposure Of the
part which the lumberman- detective
had played in the case. Gray, however,
was soon released, and the next step
