Fine Old Netherlands Repartee.

One Barend Vet of The Hague, had
recently the misfortune to call a con-
stable monkey, an accusation which
one OF the local papers pointed out
IS being, Of course, untrue" and
which, moreover is form of untruth
not permitted in Holland. Vet was ar
rested and brought before the judge
on a charge of insulting the police"
being sentenced to As days imprison-
ment. Before being removed he turned
to address the court. Then I mustn't
call a constable a monkey" he said.
Certainly not; you must not insult
the police" The culprit reflected.
MAY call monkey a constable?"
he asked, with flash or genius. The
judge shrugged his houlders, and,
holding no brief for the animal, re-
piled: IF it gives you any satisfac.
ton" With a smile Of qualification
Vet turned on his heel in the dock
and bowed to his prosecutor Good
day, constable" he said.-St. James's

From 1888 to 1896 1858 babies
Under one year old died in Rochester
in July and August. During the
sane months from 1897 to 1908 only
ISL babies died. The number Of
children between one and five years
10 die in the two summer months
dropped from 367 to 239. Yet the
average population of the city was
$4,000 greater in the later period
than in the earlier, says the New
York World. This amazing improve
ment is ascribed to the services of an
enthusiast, DR.. George w. Coler, as
health officer; to the establishment
Of pure milk stations and the inspec-
tion and regulation Of COW stables;
to perfect cleanliness in washing bot
ties and to the careful mixing of mu-
nicipal milk for babies of differing
nges. Milk from the inspected farms
is so clean that it will keep sweet
Tor days without ice.

HOW MANY OF US:
Fail to Select Food Nature Demands
to Ward Of Ailments.

A Ky. lady, speaking about food
says: Il was accustomed to eating
all kinds of ordinary food until, TO;
some reason, indigestion and nervous
prostration set in.
After I had run down seriously
my attention was called to the neces-
sity of some change in my diet, and
! discontinued my ordinary breakfast
and began using Grape-Nuts will a
good quantity of rich cream
In a few days my condition
changed in remarkable way, and I
began to have strength that l had
never been possessed of before, a
vieor Of body and poise of mind
that amazed me- 1t was entirely new
in my experience.
my former attacks of Indigestion
had been accompanied by heat flashes,
and many times my condition was
ness, rush d blood to the head and
neuralgia pains in the chest.
Since using Grape-Nuts alone for
breakfast have been free from these
troubles, except at times when have
INDUCED in rich, greasy foods in
quantity, then | would be warned by
pain under the left shoulder blade,
and unless | needed the warning the
old trouble would come back, but
when l finally got to knJw where
these troubles originated l returned
to my Grape-Nu5s and cream and the
pain and disturbance left very qu OK
ly.
II am now in prime health as a
result of my use of Grape-Nuts."
