These oxides give the gem its color.

the oxides are used. The ruby is

LOSS TO GERMAN EMPIRE.
Retirement from Public ONCE Of
Most Valuable Member Of
Government STAFF.

Every country has little known men
who exercise great influence. With
the recent resignation of Baron o
Holstein, head Of the intelligence de-
Dartment of It's foreign office, German
official life lost such a man, Gays
Youths Companion. Indeed, 1t might
be said that Europe has lost a force
on which it could count. For ulore
than a generation Baron Won Hols,ein
has been influential in framing the
German foreign policy. He began un-
der Bismarck, whose confidential adj
wiser he was. The succeeding foreign
secretaries have been dependent on
his broad and intimate knowledge OF
European politics, and have had to
respect his u%nvarying loyalty 10 what
he regarded the interests of the Fa-
therland, a loyalty unaffected by per
sonal j%e5lousies and ambitions. he
Is one Of those rare men to whom the
cause for which he worked was every
thing. He had neither wife nor child
to distract him; he never went to
court; rarely met ambassadors. He
worked in his study for\the glory of
the German empire, and worked so
successfully that the various foreign
secretaries had to keep him in office
until the present. Although it is de-
MED, his resignation is now believed
to be due to imperial dissatisfaction
with the outcome of German Interior
ence in Morocco, an interference for
which he is held responsible. RespOn-
sibility is also put upon him for the
Intervention of Germany in the affairs
of China, for the em%peror's telegram of
congratu'ation to the Beers, for Ger
man activity in Venezuelan matters.
and for the attitude of the German
naval officers toward Admiral Dewey's
administration of affairs in Manila bay
during the war with Spain. Yet this
mar kept himself so inconspicuous at
home thar the editors of biographical
dictionaries thought him unworthy of
note, and the German handbook "Wer
Ist's?" devoted to notable contempo-
raries, does not contain his name.

TEETH THAT WE'RE 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
and writer's, all of whom had to go into
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 a surrey and two
horses.
Can you driver" asked Wilson.
Sure" one of his sudden friends re-
piled, Il 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-
SHELTER into the road.
WllSOn SLOWLY gathered hlmSelI To-
getheT. One of his friends was sitting
in the ditch rubbing his bruises and
the ouher 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 to say.
Yes replied the man with the
teeth, weeping afresh, but please, oh,
please, tell rue, what shall l do with
these?"

A trained nurse says: I'm the prac-

palate Gan essential in food for the

being softened with milk or cream
for babies or the aged when deficiency
Of teeth renders masticatlon impos-
sible. For fever patients or those on
liquid diet l find Grape-Nuts and al
bumen water very nourishing and re-
freshing. This recipe is my own idea
and is made as follows: Soak a tea
spoonful of Grape-Nuts in a glass of
water for an hour, strain and serve
with the beaten white of an egg and
a spoonful of fruit juice or fiavoring.
This affords a great deal OF nourish-
ment hat 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 I regard a dish OF
Grape-Nuts with fresh or stewed fruit
as the ideal breakfast for anyone
we'll or sick" Name given by Postum

In any case Of stomach trouble,

wonders toward nourishing and re-
building, and in this way ending the
trouble. There's a reason" and trial

Pregident,g Traveling Expenses.

The president of the United States
must do much travelling, if only in
compliance with an insistent popular

and dignity require that he travel in
