DOCTORS SHIFT.
Now Get. Along without It.

Now Gets Along without II.
A physician says: Until last fall /
used to eat meat for my breakfast and
suffered with Indigestion until the meat
had passed from the stomach.
Last fall I began the use of Grape
Nuts for breakfast and very soon found
1 could do without meat, for my body
got all the nourlshment necessary from
the Grape-Nuts, and since then 1 have
not had any indigestion and am feeling
better and have increased in weight.
"Since finding the benefit I derived
from Grape-Nuts I have prescribed the
food for all Of my patients suffering
from Indigestion or overlooking and
also for those recovering from disease
where l want a food easy to a X and
certain to digest, and which will not
overtax the stomach.
II always find the results / look for
when I prescribe Grape-Nuts. For
ethical reasons please omit my name"
Battle Creek, Mich.
The reason for the wonderful amount
OF nutriment and the easy digestion Of
Grape-Nuts Is not hard to find.
In the first place, the starchy part Of
the wheat and barley goes through
various processes of cooking, to per-
fecty change the starch into r.xtrose
or Post Sugar, In which state il is
ready to be easily absorbed by the
blood. The parts In the wheat and
barley which Nature can make use Of
for rebuilding brain and nerve centers
are retained in this remarkable food,
and thus the human body is supplied
with the powerful strength producerS

Grape-Nuts each day for a week or ten
days. There's a reason"

Census Taking Uuder Difficulties.

Genius Taking Uuder D~fficult1es
To take the census of the British
empire Is a matter Of difficulty in Ger
tain districts. A native official was
ordered to take a census of what was
known to be a populous village in Ugan-
da. He returned with the report that
there was no population, the explana-
ton. being that the inhabitants had fled
on hearing of his approach. More pre-
else instructions We're given to him and
he paid another visit to the village.
The result Of his inquiry was given
thus in the tabulated form: Number OF
huts, 257; Inhabitants. men over IS
years of age, 0; women under Is years
Of age, 0; women, 0; children, o.; to-

CHAPTER XII.

Three weeks had passed since the
night on which Hiidred had heard the
true story Of her marriage. She had
tried hard to conquer the love Of her
husband which had begun TO spring
le. duty to school herself In the
knowledge that for her life was to
be without love. But 1t was hard. She
was young and impressionable; the
earl was handsome and fascinating.
There were times when an irresistible
umpulse came over her--an impulse to
beg him to love her. She resisted 1t,
and every time she did no resist her
heart grew colder and harder. II Is
dlnicult for a flower to blossom In
blIghted cold. 1t requires the warmth
and brightness. the kisses and smiles
OF the sun to bring 1t to perfection.
So 1t Is with II Informed character
like Hildred's-the sunshine Of love
and happiness would have brought 1t
TO n fair and blooming maturity. The

AMENDMENTS ARE INVALID
DECISION By THE ARKANSAS
SUPREME COURT.
Omcial Vacancies, Poll Tax ard
Road Tax Laws InvaIidated.

Little Rock, Ark--Monday tie
state supreme court handed down a de-
cision, Monday, that invalidates three
constitutional amendments. The case in
point involved the right Of the governor
to ill official vacancies by appointment,
and It was held by the supreme court
that the amendment was not adopted,
for the reason that It did not receive
a majority Of all the votes on that par
ticular question.
The poll tax amendment requiring all
voters to have poll tax receipts, and the
road tax amendment, providing for
levy Of special three-mill tax for road
Improvements are affected in a like
manner.
The official vacancies must now be
filed by election under old law. The
road tax can not be levied and poll tax
requisite is invalid

THE CARE OF LINEN.
Before Washing Soak In Tepid water
in Which Some Borax Has
Been Dissolved.

The preservation Of linen depends
largely on the core taken in washing
as well as in the mendins of each
article in daily use as soon as a worn
piece makes its appearance.
In warm sunny weather the linen
cupboard or drawers should be emp
tied and their contents exposed oe-
casioaally to the influences Of the air
and sun.
Each article ought to be numbered,
so as to have regular turn in do
nestle use. When new linen has been
purchased keep the smaller pieces for
mending the material. In mending be
careful to put in pieces large enough
to entirely cover the worn parts of the
linen, or the first washing will cause
the thin parts to give way.
Before linen articles are sent to the
washing they should be carefully over
looked, all necessary mending finished
or missing buttons, hooks and eyes re-
placed. The removal OF stains is gen
orally looked upon as very trouble
some, but the results fully repay one
for the trouble. The sooner stains are
removed the better, as soap combined
with boiling water makes most stains
permanent. The process must be ae-
complished before proceeding to the
actual washing. Disinfecting clothes
is not always necessary, but where
there has been infectious Illness or
even bad colds it is wise to put the
infected clothing through some process
that will Destroy the disease germs.
There are various methods of disin-
fecting, such as the use OF soaking
fluids, exposure to steam, exposure to
hot air and many others.
The linen should be sorted into sep
arate bundles or lots, according TO the
kind Of articles. The usual divisions
are: 1. Table linen. 2. Bed and house
hold linen. 3. Body linen.
Handkerchiefs, collars and cuffs and
all the finer linen materials retain
their purity much longer if always
washed by themselves, and many house
wives who spare no pains in the care
of their linen testify to the efficacy OF
this plan.
More time can thus be devoted tC
these articles and the clean appearance
of the linen amply repays one for the
extra trouble. To prepare linen for
washing soak the articles over night
in water.
Never use hot water for soaking pur-
poses as it tends to make dirt adhere
to linen, while cold or tepid water
loosens it and so simplifies the process
of washing. Use bOrax in the proper
ton of one tablespoonful to one gall
Ion of water.
1t is perfectly harmless and has a
marvellous power of softening water
and of drawing out dirt. The object
to be aimed at in washing is to get
rid of the dirt with as little wear and
tear as possible.-Chicago Inter Ocean
