of this service is the quickest time
between New York and the general
postoffice in London, and as Bristol
is only two hours by rail from London
and is several hours nearer to New
York by sea than Liverpool, she has
superior claims to the selection. Ply
mouth is no nearer New York and the
rail journey from Plymouth to Lon

BOTH GAINED
Man and Wife Fatten on erape-Nuts.

The notion that meat is necessary
for real strength and the foundation
Of solid flesh is no longer as prevalent
as formerly.
Excessive meat eaters are usually
sluggish part OF the time because
they are not able to fully digest their
food, and the undigested portion is
changed into what is practically a
kind of poison that acts upon the
blood and nerves, thus getting all
through the system.
Il was heavy meat eater,' writes
an Ills. man, land up to two years
ago, was in very poor health. l suf-
fered with Indigestion so that I only
weighed 95 pounds.
Then l heard about Grape.Nuts and
decided to try it. My wife laughed at
me at first but when l gained - 125
pounds and felt so fine, she thought
she would eat Grape-Nuts too.
Now she Is fat and well and has
gained 40 pounds. We never have in
digestion any more and seldom feel
the desire for meat. A neighbor of
ours, IS years old, was troubled with
indigestion for years; was a heavy
meat eater, and now since he has been
eating Grape-Nuts regularly, he says
he is well and never has indigestion.

have really been cured of Indigestion
by changing from heavy meat diet
to GrapeNuts." There's Reason -

RACE NEARLY RUN
ABoRIGINEs OF AUSTRALIA FAST
DYING OUT.
Estimate Made That Another Century
Will See the Last Of Perhaps
the Most Ignorant Peo-
pie on Earth.

The red Indian in this country Is US.
nally pictured as pathetic instance
OF dying people. yet the Indians have
increased rather than diminished in
numbers during the last ten years.
On the other hand, several important
races are swiftly passing out of ex.
istence and will soon be known to
history only
| or these the most interesting is,
| perhaps. the race of aboriginal blacks
of Australia and the islands close to
the smallest of the worlds continental
masses of land. Scientists estimate
that another century will see the last
OF the Australians.
AS far as religious feelings go the
Australian black employs devil wor-
ship in its crudest form. The devil, or
"Jingy." as the native term the evil
spirit, is constantly avoided and the
curious fact that the black never stops
In any one camp for more than three
days is based on the supposition that
the devil is always on his track hunt
Ing him. The number is the mystic fig
Thus they stay in each bush camp
for three days. They dig three graves
for each dead native in order to fool
Jingy.' The body is placed in the
middle grave upon a thick bed of
leaves and the knees are tied up
against the breast with lashings of
tree boughs and the arms are crossed
over the breast.
The head is turned toward the east
and in this the native worship of the
sun is alone visible. The black man
OF Australia can count up to three.
but beyond that his brain seems i'm
possible to lead.
The race is anything but hand
some one. and is made even horrible
In appearance by deforming customs.
The women show the left shoulder
and breast, which has queer Jumps
OF flesh, nearly white in color.
When girl child is born the
women take it and with sharp flints
cash the left shoulder and breast and
white sand is put into the wounds.
On healing these gashes turn almost
white and form hideous Jumps. Those
are the distinctive marks of beauty
and fashion for the woman black of
Australia.
With the males their prime orna-
ment is to wear the thin splinter
bone of the hind leg of the kangaroo.
This is usually four inches long and is
bored straight through the part of
the nose separating the nostrils. This
is the sign of bachelor among the
natives. For diet they like the kanga-
roo, 'possum. dog fish, whale, seal,
lizards. grubs and, in fact, almost any
thing will do, as these careless, lazy
people often starve to death where
human beings of even fair intelli-
gence would not experience any hard
ships. When food is plenty they stuff
until i'll and waste much.
The weapons used for the chase and
war are the same and very poor. AS
a matter of fact. the Australian blacks
never put up any fight against the white
men. The boomerang or kiley is the
only interesting weapon they have,
and that and the coda or stone hatchet
are the only weapons they had in
vented when turned out by white set,
tiers.
