A DOCTORS TRIALS.
He Sometimes Gets Sick Like Other
People.

Even doing good to people is hard
work if you have too much of it to do.
No one knows this better than the
Woodworking, conscientious family
doctor. He has troubles of his own
often gets caught in the rain or snow,
or loses so much sleep he sometimes
gets out of sorts. An overworked
Ohio doctor tells his experience:
about three years ago as the result
of doing two mems work, attending a
large practice and looking after the
details of another business, my health
broke down completely, and I was lit
tie better than physical wreck.
Il suffered from indigestion and
constipation, loss of weight and appe-
tite, bloating and pain after meals,
loss of memory and lack of nerve
force for continued mental applica-
ton.
81 became irritable, easily angered
and respondent without cause The
hearts action became irregular and
weak, with frequent attacks of palpi-
tation during the first hour of two
after retiring.
Some Grape-Nuts and cut bananas
came for my lunch one day and
pleased me particularly with the re-
than from anything 1 had eaten for
months, and on further investigation
and use, adopted Grape-Nuts for my
morning and evening meals, served
usually with cream and sprinkle of
salt or sugar.
My Improvement was rapid and
permanent in weight as well as in
physical and mental endurance. In a
word, am filed with the joy of liv-
ing again, and continue the daily use
of Grape-Nuts for breakfast and often
for the evening meal.

GAVE DRUMMER A SCARE.
Delayed Telegram Suggested Awful
Possibilities.

There was a travelling man." said
the night operator, whose wife pre-
sented him with son while he was
got the mans address, and, since his
wife was doing none too well, wrote
out a message giving him the news
and telling him to return
1.-The doctor gave the message to
the cook, who couldn't read. She
forgot to send it, and the next day the
drummer came home of his own &C
cord.
HE stayed a day or two, found his
wife doing all right, and set out on
his rounds again. Nothing, as it hap
pened, was said about the forgotten
telegram.
"And at the end of the week the
telegram was remembered by the
cook. With an exclamation of horror
you know she couldn't read-she
hurried to the office and sent to the
drummer that delayed message. When
he got it that night he was terrified.
What he read was this:
Another addition-a son; your
wife very i'll; return at once
"He took the midnight train for
home. He was like man in trance.
Another he kept muttering in a
dazed voice. 1mpossible!'
ION getting home he was SO reliev-
ed when everything was explained to
him that he decided not to fire the
cook, after all"

DEACON GOT MONEY
CHURcH-GOER MORE LIBERAL
THAN HE MEANT TO BE.
Now the Question 10, Who viii BE
Given Credit for the Half Dollar
Internationally Contributed
to the CoIIection?

Being an occasional church-goer he
was supposed to be able to behave
properly and preserve his equanimity
through any ordinary service. His
family was therefore somewhat curl
Gus when he returned from church
one Sunday noon with a most discon-
solate air, says the Providence Jour
nal.
Didn't you like the sermon?" asked
his wife.
'tOh, the sermon was all right, I
guess said he clumly.
well, what's the matter?" she per-
sisted.
'Nothing's the matter" he retorted
when he gets back from a solemn re-
Hgious service without causing a riot
in his own homer"
His wife said nothing for a time,
and then, with happy inspiration,
asked casually:
How much did you put in the con-
tribution box to-day?''
There was a pronounced pause, and
then the reply came with serious de-
liberation.
''Seventy-five cents
wasn't that rather liberal?'' she in
quired, knowing he usually played
quarter limit.
Rather" he answered. Rather
liberal, it struck me. Rather too lib
eral.''
Then he chuckled and went on with
out further urging.
You see, it was this way: 1 was
sitting alone in a back seat on the
side aisle. When the deacon started
down for the contribution l felt for
some change and found had just two
pieces, a quarter and a half. Some
how l felt pretty good natured, and
was thinking of putting in the half
instead of the quarter as usual. While
I was celebrating I'm blessed if the
half didn't slip out of my fingers and
roll out into the aisle, close to the
second pew in front. 1 didn't want
to scramble for it then, and figured
1 could get it at the close of the serv-
ice So 1 sat back and waited for the
box to come along and dropped in the
quarter.
Just as he got to me the deacon
noticed that he was half a lap ahead
of the deacon on the other side and
stopped to wait. And, naturally, while
he was waiting, his eyes lit on the
half-dollar lying in the aisle in front
OF him
"'And what did that old sinner do
but grab for it, look around curiously
a minute and then drop it into the
box. And 1 didn't have the nerve to
breathe word. Just sat like dunn
my and watched the half go to the
angels, and me without another cent
in my clothes, having to walk home
instead of taking a trolley. Wouldn't
that make you mad?'
Then he added, chuckling again:
What I'm wondering now is whether
1 get credit from st. Peter for giving
the whole rs cents or just for the
quarter
You won't get credit for any of it,
observed his wife. est. Peter'n check
off the credit for the quarter to cover
your wicked feelings when you saw
the half dollar go, too
''That'd be a mean trick" he re-
sponded, as he reached for his Sunday
paper.

WORST CASE OF ECZEMA.
Spread Rapidly Over Body-limbs
and Arms Had to Be Bandaged-
Marvellous Cure by Cuticura.

my son, who is now twenty-five
years of age, when he was four
months old began to have eczema on
his face, spreading quite rapidly until
he was nearly covered. We had all
the doctors around us, and some from
larger places, but no one helped him
a particle. The eczema was something
terrible, and the doctors said it was
the worst case they ever saw. At
times his whole body and face were
covered, all but his feet. I had to
bandage his limbs and arms; his
scalp was just dreadful. A friend
leased me to try Cuticura, and I be-
gan to use all three of the Cuticura
Remedies. He was better in two
months; and in six months he was
well. Mrs. R. L. Risley, Piermont,
