TEETH THAT WERE USELESS
Puzzle to the Man Who Had Sud-
denly Sustained the Loss
of Them

Harry Leon Wilson, author of THE
Spenders,' was domiciled for a summer
in Connecticut with a colony of artists
the city every day. relates the Saturday
Evening Post.
Wilson was doing nothing but loaf
ing. He loafed artistically, and from
time TO time met and had fun with
some of the natives of the place. One
day he found two men in the road who
seemed congenial, and he struck up an
acquaintance with them. He proposed
a drive and they got surrey and two
horses.
Can you driver" asked Wilson.
Sure" one of his sudden friends re-
piled, ii am a fine driver"
They got aboard and started down
the road. Before they had gone half a
mile the team was frightened by a
passing automobile and ran away. The
driver valiantly steered the horses
Into a telegraph pole and Wilson and
his two friends were thrown helter-
skelter into the road.
Wilson slowly gathered himself to-
6etnei. Oue VI his IrlenuS was SltlluS
In the ditch rubbing his bruises and
the other stood in the middle of the
road gazing in fearful misery at two
front teeth which he held in the palm
Of his hand.
Pretty lucky escape, wasn't it?"
asked Wilson. for want of something
better tc say.
"Yes" replied the man with tha
teeth, weeping afresh, but please, oh,
please, tell rue. what shall l do with
these?"

Harvard Defeats Yale.

New London, Conn. = Harvard's
varsity crew triumphed over Yale
Thursday before the greatest crowd
that ever gathered here on a race day.
Coming after years of defeat, the vic
tory was particularly sweet to the
crimson. 1t was a great Yale crew
that Harvard defeated, "a crew that
had broken all records in practice and
went to the stalleboat favorite. Har-
wards Joy is unconfined
Harvard won, but Yale rowed a race
that will live long in the annals of
college sports. Not only from the
start, but until the last sixteenth of a
mile did the shells cease to lap each
other. The men in the rival boats
could see each other for more than
three miles and half, as first one cox
swain and then the other called upon
his crew. Harvard really got the lead
when the killing pace proved too much
for the Yale men. In the final spurt
Boulton and Noyes were done, their
oars literally slipping away from them.
Harvard won the race by less than
two lengths and half. Her time was
23.02; Yales, 23.11.
While the crews had the tide with
them, they had a brisk Quartering
wind which made fast time impossible.
The record for the course is 20:10,
made by Yale in 1883.

THE DOCTORS WIFE
Agrees with Him About Food.

A trained nurse says: I'm the prac-
tice of my profession l have found SO
many points in favor of Grape-Nuts
food that l unhesitatingly recommend
It to all my patients.
at is delicate and pleasing to the
palate (an essential in food for the
sick) and can be adapted to all ages,
being softened with milk or cream
for babies or the aged when deficiency
of teeth renders mastication impos-
sible. For fever patients or those on
liquid diet | find Grape-Nuts and al
bumen water very nourishing and re-
freshing. This recipe is my own idea
and is made as follows: Soak tea
spoonful of Grape-Nuts in glass Of
water for an hour, strain and serve
with the beaten white of an egg and
spoonful of fruit juice or lavoring.
This affords a great deal of nourish-
ment that even the weakest stomach
can assimilate without any distress.
"My husband is a physician and he
uses Grape-Nuts himself and orders
1t many times for his patients.
personally 1 regard a dish of
Grape-Nuts with fresh or stewed fruit
as the ideal breakfast for anyone
well or sick" Name given by Postum
Co., Battle Creek, Mich.
In any case of stomach trouble,
nervous prostration or brain fag, a
10 days trial of Grape-Nuts will work
wonders toward nourishing and re-
building, and in this way ending the
trouble. There's a reason" and trial
proves.

book, 1.-THE Road to Wellville."

ANTI-sALooN RAID.
Governor Hoch of Kansas Smashes
OutaWed Joints.

Kansas City-The anti-saloon cru
sade was given a new impetus at Kan.
sas City, Kansas, Wednesday, when
raids were authorized on forty saloons,
joints as they are called, running in
violation of the state prohibition law.
Many of the joint proprietors hur-
riedly closed their places and some
moved, or made preparations to re-
move their fixtures.
Since the inauguration of the pres
ent crusade, which was started by Gov
ernor Hoch, ten saloons have been
raided. To-day the liquors and costly
fixtures from three of these places,
valued at about $4,000, were destroyed
by Sheriff Connell on an order from
the Judge of the Court of Common
Pleas. Last week the judge ordered
the fixtures burned at public bonfire,
but this idea was reconsidered and to-
day the sheriff and his assistants,
armed with axes and picks, demol-
ished the highly polished bars, tables
and chairs, bottles and barrels of liq-
uor. The fixtures and liquors de-
stroyed to-day belonged to three differ
ent brewing companies operating on
the Missouri side, and were seized last
week.

TERRIBLE ITCHING SCALP.
Eczema Broke Out Also on Hands and
Limbs-An Old Soldier Declares:
"Cuticura Is Blessing"

AT all times and to all people I
am willing to testify to the merits
OF Cuticura. 1t saved me from worse
than the tortures of hades, about the
year 1900, with itching on my scalp
and temples, and afterwards it COM
menced to break out on my hands.
Then it broke out on my limbs. I
then went to a surgeon whose treat
ment did me no good; but rather ag-
gravated the disease. 1 then told him
l would go. and see a physician in
Erie. The reply was that | could go
anywhere, but a case of eczema like
mine could not be cured; that I was
too old (S0). 1 went to an eminent
doctor in the city of Erie and treated
with him for six months, with like
results. l had read of the Cuticura
Remedies, and SO l sent for the Cuti-
cura Soap, Ointment and Resolvent,
and continued taking the Resolvent
until had taken six bottles, stopping
1t to take the Pills. was now get
ting better. l took two baths a day
and at night I let the lather of the
Soap dry on. 1 used the Ointment
with great effect after washing in
warm water, to stop the itching at
oisee. | am now cured. The Cuticura
treatment is blessing, and should
be used by every one who has itching
of the skin. l can't say any more
and thank God that He has given the
world such a curative. VIM. II. GRAY.
