IT'S THE FOOD.
The True Way to Correct Nervous
Troubles.

The True Way to Correct Nervous
Troubles.
Nervous troubles are more OFTEN
caused by improper food and indiges-
ton than most people imagine. Even
doctors sometimes overlook this fact.
A man says:

ter with meat and gravy were the main
features of my breakfast. Finally dys-
pepSia came on and 1 found myself In
a bad condition, worse in The morning
than any other time. | would nave q

'At times 1 would have no appetite
for days, then 1 would feel ravenous,
never satisfied when l did eat ana so

Of my voice. l lost flesh badly and
hardly knew which way to turn until
one day l bought a box Of Grape Nuts
food to see if l could eat that. tried
1t without telling the doctor, and liked
1t fine; made me feel as II l had some

Cincinnati, Ohio. Dec 23-Nine prison

Chicago, Dec. 23.-John Terry. a negro.
was boiled to death in hot tar in . fire
in the Northwestern Gaslight and Coke
Company's Evanston plant
The fire started with the explosion of
"a tar tank, supposedly caused by the
dropping of hot cinders from board
over which it was Terry's duty to carry
across the tank to Stag pile
The explosion rocked houses and shat
tered windows and glassware for many
blocks in each direction. The entire plant
was instantly envelOped in smoke. and it
was at first believed that one Of the large
gas tanks had exploded.
a panic ensued in the suburb, hundreds
Of people rushing from their homes in
the expectation that every building in
the vicinity would be consumed. When
the firemen reached the spot the $1,000
gallon tar tank was ablaZe, and an in

KoDa. Semiretchinsk. Asiatic Russia.
Dec. Z.-An extremely violent earth
quake. lasting IL minutes, was felt here
AT n:90 o'clock last night
Rome, Dec. 23.-The seismograph here
and at Bologna and Florence recorded
last night a violent earthquake at a dis
tance Of 1000 kilometers.
London. Dec 3.-Prof Milne saws: AT
6.31 Saturday evening ali my instruments
at Shide Hin House, Isle Of Wight. were
set in motion by the commencement of
a very large earthquake. which attained
its maximum at 6:53 Il had a duration
exceeding two hours and forty minutes.
It's greater motion was from north to
south. Its east and west motion was
somewhat less. From the interval of
time between its commencement and
maximum motion we can say with con-
siderable certainty that its origin was at
a distance of least 1900 kilometers or
4,5o0 geographical miles. At this great
distance Of Great Britain, we can look
westward toward the West Indies. an
earthquake-producing center. or toward
that portion of Central Asia immediate
ly north of India.
Although last year We had earthoIakes
at San Francisco and Valparaiso. which.
on account of their destructive effects
attracted the attention Of the world. still
larger earthquakes have taken place in
Central Asia
Although I am inclined to the belief
that Saturdays earthquake had is origin
eastward of Great Britain. still there is
an equal possibility that it occurred the
same distance to the west. but if this
were the case. we would have teIegraphic
communication. Judging seismograph. of
which We have excellent examples at
Shide Hill House, I should say that this
earthquake was greater than the one
which destroyed Valparaiso. and the one
in Central California in April"

New York. Dec 23-ConsiderabIe un-
easiness is felt among the members Of
the board Of education in regard 10 the
annual Christmas celebration. To be held
in the public schools tomorrow
For years it has been the custom among
the teachers in the lower grades Of the
public schools TO furnish special enter
tainment on the afternoon before Christ
mas. In most schools Christmas trees
are placed in the rooms Of the eIemen-
tary classes. These trees are decorated
with gifts for the children from the
teachers and the principal Of the school.
The gifts are rot Of much value. but
the teachers say it all has an effect Of
promoting good will and kindly feeling
among the pupils.
Some OF the Hebrew rabbis have ap-
pealed 10 their congregations to keep
their children away from the celebrations
at the schools tomorrow. Several Jew
ish newspapers have stirred up matters
by calling on parents 10 have the chill
