There's boy up in Hoosick Falls, n.

hood on Grape-Nuts breakfasts. 1t
might have been different with him, as
his mother explains:
"My eleyen-year-old boy is large, well
developed and active, and has been
made SO by his fondness for Grape
Nuts food. At Eve years he was very
nervous child and was subject TO fire.
q1ent 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 I have never had to change
from that. He makes his entire break
fast Of Grape-Nuts food. 1t is always
relished by him anu he says that it
satisfies him better than the ordinary
kind of a meal.
Better than all he is no lc:ger
troubled with indigestion or nervous
ness, and has got 10 be a splenddly

Around the fireside or about the we'll
lighted family reading table during the
winter evenings the children ana
grown-ups can play with their wits ana
see how many words can be made.
20 people making the greatest num-
Der of words will each receive little
box containing a $1,000 gold piece.
10 people will each win one box con-
tanning $500 gold piece.
500 people will each win box con-
talnins Sl.00 in paper money and one
person who makes the highest number
Of words over all contestants will re-
ceive box containing $4,000 in gold.
1t is really most fascinating bit Of
fun TO take up the list evening after
evening and see how many words can
be added.
A few rules are necessary for abso.
lutte fair play.
Any word authorized by Webster's
dictionary will be counted. but no name
Of person. Both the singular and
plural can be used, as for instance
grape" and grapes"
The letters in "Y-I-O-Grape-Nuts"
may be repeated In the same word.
Geographical names authorized by
Webster will be counted.
Arrange the words IN alphabetical
classes, all those beginning with A to.
together and those beginning with E to
come under e. etc.
When sou are writing down the
words leave some spaces in the A, e.
and other columns to I'll In later as new
words come to you. for they will spring
into mind every evening.
1t Is almost certain that some con-
testants will tie with others. In such
cases a prize identical in value and
character with that offered in that
class shall he awarded to each. Each
one will be requested to send with the
list of words plainly written letter
describing the advantages of Grape.
Nuts, but the contestant is not required
TO purchase pkg. These letters are
not to contain poetry, or fancy -four
lshes. but simple, truthful statements
of fact. For illustrations: A person
may have experienced some -incipient

surro Broke Up the Ball.

A ball given at naggett, CAL, in hon
or of Mr.. and Mrs. G. B. Hart OF Bars
.ow, who had just BEEN married, was
broken up by the appearance on the
ballroom floor of lanky desert burro,
astride of which sat James Hofgan,
we'll known prospector. The upper
strata of Daggett were present, the
best musicians in fifty miles had been
employed, and for three days the floor
of the ballroom had been rubbed down
with wax until every board shone like
glass.
In the middle Of the dance, while
sixty couples were gracefully gliding
about, the door was suddenly thrown
open and, with genuine desert
whoop, in rode Horgan. The burro, ac-
customed to tread carefully along
the steep declivities where q misstep
meant death, picked its way almost
to the center of the floor. The dane
ers fell back amazed.
Suddenly it's legs slipped from I'M
der the animal. Staggering to regain
it's footing it cut numerous grotesque
antics, and finally turned almost a
complete somersault BY degrees 1t
was assisted up, and Horgan disap.
oeared, but the ball was not resumed.

Ralm Saved Mans Life.

To BE charged By an iifuriated bull
and gored almost to insensibility and
afterward to be rescued through the
interference of a ram Is the remarka.
BILE experience Of John Michel, a farm
hand employed on the farm OF Mike
Walters. near Benridge, MINI.
Michel was milking the cows in the
pasture lot when bull charged him,
knocked him to the ground and furi.
ously attempted to gore him. Michel
made desperate attempts to escape
from the enraged animal and
was nearly unconscious when ram
charged the bull, with the result that
the latter turned his attention to the
new foe and Michel succeeded In
crawling through the fence and es-
Gaping. The man is badly bruised and
wounded, but no bones were broken
and he will recover.
