Broke Leo pulling On Boot.

Andrew J. Curtiss, of Bristol, a COM
mercial traveller, broke a bone in his
right leg while engaged in the appar-
emily simple operation of pulling on
MS boot. This unusual occurrence
has brought about a lawsuit in which
Mr.. Curtiss is the plaintiff and an ac-
cident association the defendant.
Mr.. Curtiss declares that he broke
his leg in CRANKY on June 10. 1904,
the left strap to his boot coming off
suddenly, "by which his leg was sud
denly and violently wrenched to the
right, said wrench causing a fracture
of the pubic bone and has caused him
great pain and soreness, which has
continued to the present time" He
says that for more than ifty-two
weeks he has been totally disabled
and unable to attend to his business
or any other, and for much of the
time has been confined to his bed

struggle may have been ere she LEARNT to
resign herself to her lonely lot? The alb
sence of this link to bind marital life
together, the absence of this one pledge
to mutual affection is a common dlsap-
Pointment. Many unfortunate couples
become %estranged thereby. Even If they
DO not drift apart, one may read the whole

OF such a childless couple when they rest
on the children of Others. To them the

In many cases of barrenness or child

easily removed by the cure of weakness on

restoring health and f"ruitfulness to many

Plerce's Favorite Prescription is the most

1t has 10 Its credit hundreds of thousands
OF cures more In fact than any other

especially for woman's use. The inpredi-

positive endorsement from the leading
medical writers on MdteTid Medtca OF all
the several schools of practice. All the
ingredients are printed in plain EnqItsh

comanche counts oueerIy.

A peculiar feature about the Co
manche language is the method OF
counting. A Comanche will count UP
to ten in the l, 2, 8, A., 5, g., Z, s, 8, 10
method, but there he stops. He
doesn't use eleven, but instead he
counts it as "ten and one more" and
SO on, until he reaches nineteen,
when he pronounces nineteen. He
then pronounces twenty, but starts in
with twenty and one more" until he
reaches Twenty-Five, which he counts
twenty-nine, then starts in with thir.
ty, like he did twenty, and counts to
thirty-nine, and SO on all the way up.
Counting is the most difficult thing to
learn in the Comanche language. In
fact, by the time a person has learned
to count in that language he has pref.
ty we'll mastered it. AS there is nc
alphabet in the language the only way
to learn it is by word of mouth.

xees ALL CONTAIN A POISON
Action of Gastric Juices ana Bile Pre-
vents Bad Effects.

Paragraphs have been extensively
published in the daily papers dealing
with the researches of M. Loisel OF
Paris on the recurrence of poisonous
principles In eggs. 1t seems that the
yolk of the eggs of hens. ducks and
tortoises contain a poison which, II
injected into the veins or otherwise
inoculated into the animal body,
causes death from its effects on the
nervous system. The white of the tor
toise's egg also contains a toxic sub
stance.
Why eggs are moi poisonous as or
dinarily Used or even when eaten raw
may be explained on the ground that
the action of digestion alters the com
position of the egg or at least modifies
1t 80 that Ill effects are avoided. In
deed, it is easy to show that certain
foods at a particular stage of digestion
are "poisons." 1t is the action Of the
llyer OIL such foods which robs them
of their power to do harm.

HONEYMOON IN A FREIGHT CAR

marked, twas that of a friend of mine
who was married in Canada the other
day. She lived in Ontario, and her
husband had settled on a farm in n
OF the new provinces in the far West.
After they were married they set out
for their new home in a freight car
that the bridegroom had specially
fixed for the journey.
The front half of the car was ar
ranged as a sleeping and living room
and kitchen combined. They had the
necessary tables and folding chairs.
box cupboards for the dishes and
supplies, and a big oil stove. Lamps
hung from the roof of the car, ship
fashion, and the whole interior looked
particularly coy when the bride had
finished the work begun by her hus-
band.
"The odd part of the outfit was the
fact that the rear half Of the car was
fitted up as a stable for the two horses
that were a part of their wedding
gifts. The journey ended safely and
happily, I should imagine, from the
letters l have had from the bride. No
girl who could have a private car or
a steam yacht for such a journey
would be more enthusiastic than my
friend was over her economical and
unique honeymoon"

There's a boy up in Hoosick Falls,

manhood on Grape-Nuts breakfasts.
1t might have been different with him,
as his mother explains:
my 11-year-old boy is large, well
developed and active, and has been
made so by his fondness for Grape
Nuts food. At five years he was a
very nervous child and was sub3act
to frequent attacks of Indigestion
which used to rob him of his strength
and were very troublesome to deal
with. He never seemed to care for
anything for his breakfast until /
tried Grape-Nuts, and l have never
had to change from that. He makes
his entire breakfast of Grape-Nuts
food. 1t is always relished by him
and he says that 1t satisfies him bet
ter than the ordinary kind of a meal.
Better than all he is no longer
troubled with indigestion or nervous
ness, and has got to be a splendidly
developed fellow since he began to
use Grape-Nuts food" Name given by
