bed with fever and nervous prostra-
tion for three long months after the
birth of my second boy. We were in
despair until the little Widows advice
brought relief.
II liked Grape-Nuts food from the
beginning, and in an incredibly short
time it gave me such strength that |
was able to leave my bed and enjoy
my three good meals a day. In two
months my weight increased from 95
to 113 pounds, my nerves had steadied
down and I felt ready for anything.
My neighbors were amazed to see me
gain SO rapidly and still more SO
when they heard that Grape.Nuts
alone had brought the change.
my 4-year-old boy had eczema,
very bad, last spring and lost his ap-
petite entirely, which made him cross
and peevish. | put him on n diet of
Grape-Nuts, which he relished at once.

WEST POINTERS PLUCKY FIGHT.
Suffered a Years Agony to Get Back
to Academy.

Walter Wilde of Hazleton, Pa, a West
Point cadet, will return to the academy at
West Point today after a years absence
During that period he withstood test such
as few men have ever borne and his cour-
age has won him the reward he desired.
He was entered in West Point year ago
last spring. Last August, while at home
on a vacation, he was riding through the
mountains when his horse fell, rolled over
on him and broke his leg. Wilde was taken
to the Hazleton hospital and, while the
bone knitted perfectly, when the plaster
cast was removed it was found that the
leg had shrunk several inches.
This deformity debarred him from re-
entering the academy, and he was broken
hearted. Eminent physicians, however,
told him that If the leg was rebroken and
the tendons submitted to heavy and con-
be stretched to its natural length again.
They warned him, however, that he would
have to submit to constant and severe pain
for long time. He said he was willing
to undergo anything to get back to West
Point.
Accordingly, last March he was taken
to the Polytechnic Hospital at Philadelphia,
where Dr. John B. Roberts broke the leg.
Weights of 800 pounds were then attached
to the leg by pulleys and the leg was drawn
I'D from the cot into the air whila Wilde
was strapped down. For nearly two months
the cadet remained in that position. Much
of that time he was unable to sleep. owing
whimpered or groaned. So bravely did he
bear his suffering that he was christened by
nurses and doctors 1.-THE Hero Of the Poly
.technic."
Early in june the weights were removed
and the operation had been successful

members Of different democratic clubs

Of Landover is president electing their del
egates by vote of 90 to rs. Ten delegates
were chosen. each Of whom will have half

there will be a contest before the

Jacob Watts. Ed. Fitzhugh and John R..

The delegation from the newly created
Chillum district will be composed of J.
Enos Ray, jr., Thomas Brown, r. A Van

APE FOUGHT FLAMES IN CAGE.
Match Thrown by Careless Spectator
Lighted by Orang-Outang.

Rushing to the rescue of his sweetheart,
Soco, an attractive young chimpanzee.
which was threatened with death in flames,
Dohung, the prize simian of the Bronx
Geological Park, yesterday extinguished the
blaze August, an orang-outang, whose
participation in the near incendiarism was
forgiven because of his lack of scientific
education, was vigorously scolded by his
lady love. Polly, who treated him with ex-
IRENE GOODNESS for the rest of the day. An
tonic Pasquale of No. 541 East 159th street
met no benevQlence in the matter and was
rushed to the park gate, vigorously pro-
PEELED into the road by Policeman Kane and
warned to keep out of the menagerie-
Pasquale was one of several persons in
the monkey house watching the apes. Do
hung is most accomplished, plays the vio-
lin has dreamy eyes, especially since he
fell In love with Soco, and won't eat I'M
less he has a napkin on his lap. August
and Polly share two-family cage with
DOhung and Soco.
Stirred to emulation by the tricks OF the
monkeys, q spectator, said to have been
PasQuale, concluded that II would be a
bright idea to throw a match into the
cage, and he did So August Is rather
ments and Immediately picked up the
match. Then to show that he knew a
thing or two himself he struck and ig-
nited It, soaring himself into panic at the
sight of the fire, which, like all animals,
he fears. August threw the match on the
floor amid it's straw covering.
In a moment the whole place would
have been in a blaze, but Dohung was
right there. He snatched up the burning
match, flung it from the cage and patted
out the tiny flame in the straw as neatly
and quickly as any human being. Inn
mense applause greeted the chimpanzee's
intelligence and presence of mind.
Then the spectators decided that the
man who had thrown the match was unfit
company for sensible monkeys and chased
him all owe rthe park. When Policeman
Kane captured the frightened fugitive the
latter gave his name and address and was
taken back to the monkey house. Dohung
declined to identify him, though several
witnesses of the fire incident did and
tried to mark him so they would know him
again.
William Reilly, keeper in charge of the
monkeys, was unwilling to press COM
plant, but asked that the prisoner be ex-
PEELED from the park. Kane performed that
duty enthusiastically.

Thought Balloon a Meteor.

HE thought the balloon was a meteor.
When he heard voices he was frightened.
He had read Of airships. and guessed the
catch hold Of the rope, but could not see
it. When he did he and his son made it
fast to tree at our direction. He invited
us into his house, gave us the best he had,
and sat up later than he felt he had any
right to that he might have the workings of
the balloon explained to him.
Mr. Newman gave us a good bed. In
the morning he showed US a little girl that
was new arrival in the family. They
decided to name her after the balloon, Mir
vana, although her mother was a little
afraid that when she went to school the
neighbors' children would nickname her

through them until we found the sun. We

I'VE landed among the trees in a forest
with several hardSbumps one anchor hook

out of the bag. He was able to follow me
on foot, however, when l shot up. 1t was
