LEFT THE BABY BEHIND.
The Nurse Had the Carriage, But the
Baby" Was Missing.

Mrs Maud Miller Nipple, whose
advocacy of a course in motherhood"
for young matrons has already begun
to bear good fruit, was talking of the
duties of young mothers.
And no young mother" she said,
no matter how many her millions
nor how high her station, should trust
her little one entirely to a nurses
care. A nurse may be the most intel.
ligent, most conscientious; but to rear
a baby properly is a difficult task, and
only one person is sufficiently inter
ested in this task to perform it well.
That person is the babys mother"
Mrs Nipple smiled.
"A young mother" she said was
walking with her husband on the
Atlantic City board walk. Suddenly
she gave little cry of pleasure.
Oh, she said, there is nurse
nurse wheeling baby.
And she ran lightly to the luxuri.
Gus coach of leather with its swan.
shaped carriage and its rubber.tired
wheels, and she pushed back the para.
sol that shaded the occupant from the
sun.
Then she gave a great start.
Why, nurse she cried, where's
baby?'
The nurse gasped. Goodness gra
clous, maam! l forgot to put him
inn"

HOW MANY OF US?
FAN to Select Food Nature Demands
to Ward Of Ailments.

A KY lady, speaking about food
says Il was accustomed to eatins
all kinds of ordinary food until 10,
some reason, indigestion and nervous
prostration set in.
After | had run down seriously nv
attention was called to the necessity
OF some change in my diet, and dis
continued my ordinary breakfast and
began using Grape-Nuts with good
quantity of rich cream.
In a few days my condition
changed in a remarkable way. and
began to have a strength that I had
never been possessed of before a
vigor of body and a poise of mind
that amazed me. 1t was entirely new
In my experience.
MY former attacks of Indigestion
mad been accompanied by heat flashes
and many times my condition was dis,
tressing, with blind spells of dizziness,
rush OF blood to the head and neural.
gic pains In the chest.
Since using Grape-Nuts alone for
breakfast have been free from these
troubles, except at times when | have
INDUCED in rich, greasy foods in
quantity, then l would be warned by
pain under the left shoulder blade
and unless needed the warning the
old trouble would come back. but
when finally got to know where
these troubles originated | returned
TO my Grape-Nuts and cream and the
pain and disturbance left very quickly.
u am now in prime health as q re.
suit OF my use OF Grape-Nuts." Name

WHEN THE BED GOES ROUND
But Smith Was Too Wise to Wait on
the Procession.

That was an amusing story about
the congressman who caught his bed
the fourth time it came around. 1t
reminded me-" continued the narrator
"of the first time | heard the bed
phrase. 1t happened in Harrisburg
where l was then stationed and it
happened to legislator whom shall
call Smith
AT the first session Smith became
famous for his ability to comfortably
carry more liquor than any other man
In the legislature. At the opening of
the second session some Philadel-
phians got together and put up a job
on Smith, They arranged relays, so
that when one party had enough an
other should take hold, and thus keep
going until they had Smith down and
out. Well they began with Smith
one evening, and after two relays had
succumbed their successors noted
with much satisfaction that Smith
was mixing his beverages-they
didn't know that was his custom, and
he fooled them all The bout CON

came Smith was the only man able
to get away unaided.
Several days later I asked Smith
how he got along after he reached his
hotel. When l got into my ROOM"

the tribe
DR. Whitman and his wife did what

Indian medicine men, coupled with
the customs of the Indians them
selves, persuaded the sufferers to try
the wonders of the sweat cure.
1t seemed a good idea to the Indian
mind, If the white medicine mans
prescription was good, the Indian med

Indian sweathouse was the indirect
cause of the Whitman massacre,
