the first thing he saw to shoot at was
a blue jay sitting saucily on the toy

up. What he happened to find there
was a dead frog. which he raised care

FAMILY FOOD.
Crisp, Toothsome and Requires No
Cooking.

A little boy down in N. G. asked his
mother to write an account of how
Grape-Nuts food had helped their FAM
lily.
She says Grape-Nuts was first
brought to her attention on visit to
Charlotte, where she visited the Mayor
of that city who was using the food by
the advice of his physician. She
says:
"They derive so much good from II
that they never pass a day without
using it. While was there / used the
Food regularly. / gained about Is
pounds and felt so well that when re-
turned home began using Grape-Nuts
in our family regularly.
my little 18 months old baby short
ly after being weaned was very i'll
with dyspepsia and teething. She was
sick nine weeks and we tried every
thing. She became so emaciated that
It was painful to handle her and we
thought we we're going to lose her.
One day happy thought urged me to
try Grape-Nuts soaked in a little warm
milk.
"Well, It worked like a charm and
she began taking 1t regularly and inn
provement set in at once. She is now
getting well and round and fat as fast
as possible on Grape-Nuts.
Sometime ago several OF the family
were stricken with LaGrippe at the
same time, and during the worst stages
we could not relish anything in the
shape of food but Grape-Nuts and
oranges. everything else nauseated us.
I'VE all appreciate what your ia
nous food has done for our family"

OLD TIME MUSTER PASSING.
improved Conditions Have Done Away
with Hand Fire Engine.

The old time fireman's muster Is
fast becoming a thing of the past and
its gradual disappearance from the
land is the result of the progressive
ness Of the age. Years ago. before
there were so many other forms Of
amusement and fewer excuses for pub.
lie gatherings, when the hand tub was
the most commonly used piece of fire
fighting apparatus, the muster was a
feature of every year to which the
firemen looked with eager eyes. There
was some fun and some excitement in
putting on the red shirt and the white
leather belt, donning the fire hat and
taking the pet machine to some near
by town or city. There was the par.
adc, the MONDAY collation., the trial
in the afternoon, when all took hold of
the brakes and broke her down." and
the ball in the evening. The increased
demand for better fire protection, has,
however, sent the hand machines to
the rear and in their places has sub
stituted the water system and the
steamers. There's nothing very excit-
inS in the playing from hydrant or
a steamer, and what is more few
cities nowadays care to allow their ap-
paratus to be carted about the state
for muster purposes. AS a result of
these changes the old time musters
have become a thing of the past. and
the next generation will little realize
what the word really meant in the
days of their anddads.-Pittsbur

would stop using Cuticura Soap and

very slightly, but It did her 4 sight Of

lem OohlltreeIn Moon.

After Tom Ochiltree, that able con-
gress raconteur and laugh generator
for the afflicted rich, settled in New
York as the amuser of the John w.
Mackay family, he effervesced in a
thousand different directions, and was
as good in some ways as Sam Ward.
One night he escorted John Mackay's
friend, the Count dc Biscout, down to
the Battery to show the sight OF New
York. The moon was grand, and the
count went into raptures as her
maiden reflection rippled over the
peariy waters" He cried: "Eet iss

such moon in all italy," Count" "

the occasion, you just ought to see
