EASY FOOD
Ready for Instant Use without
Cooking.

Ready for Instant Use without
Cooking.
Almost everyone likes a cereal food
Of some kind at breakfast and supper,
but the ordinary way Of cooking cereals
results in a pasty mass that is hard to
digest, and if not properly digested, the
raw mass goes down INTO the intestinal
tract where gas Is generated and trou-
BILE follows.
Everyone knows that good food prop
erly digested keeps the body we'll, while
poer food, or even food of good quality
that is poorly prepared and not digest
ed, is sure to bring Of some kind Of
disease.
The easiest food to digest in this line
barley, and cooked thoroughly at the
factory. some - to 16 hours being con-
sumed In the different processes OF prep
aration. The food, therefore. is ready
for instant service and the starch has
been changed to a form OF Sugar, so
that it is pre-digested and ready for
almost immediate absorption.
A Chicago young lady writes that
she suffered for years from indigestion
and dyspepsia from the use of food that
was not suitable to her powers Of di-
gestion. She says:
II began using Grape-Nuts. and I
confess to having had a prejudice at
first. and was repeatedly urged before
I finally decided to try the foodAu /

of a Bird as bill, wings with quilts,

Colour she is as glorious as the Raine

Adrian van der Donck, one Of the
Hollanders of Nieuw Nederlandt in
1912, writes of a
Curious small bird concerning which
there are disputations whether it is a
bird or a bee. 1t seeks it's nourishment
from flowers like the bee and is every

A MYSTERY
Body OF Missing Brooklyn Million
aiFe Found in Montana Cave.

Body OF Missing Brooklyn Millions
aire Found in Montana Cave.
After q little more thar a year the
mystery surrounding the disappearance of
Abraham Gill, a millionaire Br~oOklynite,
was cleared the other day when his rela-
tives in New York City received a dis
patch from Sandusky, Mont, that his
remains had been found in a cave near
the ranch which he had sold the day he
disappeared. The body lay in a heap of
ashes and the belief is that he was robbed
by bandits, who bound him and then toss
ed him pom a pile of faggots to which
they applied the torch.
Gill, who was a young man. was a
graduate of the Polytehcnic Institute and
a member of many exclusive clubs. AZ
ter graduation he went to Montana, where
he purchased a ranch to raise live stock.
In 1906 Gill returned to Brooklyn, and
after arranging for beginning life anew
in New York, he returned to his ranch
and sold out to one George Goblin. Be
fore doing so, however, as a United States
marshal he succeeded in breaking up the
most dangerous gang of thugs in Mon
tana. This led the authorities to believe
that the gang had killed him.
The day of the sale Gill rode at night
to the home of a friend, several miles
from the ranch, to have the deed legally
registered. This accomplished, he and
Goblin, who is said to be a member of the
gang Gill had exterminated, started back
to the ranch with the money he had re-
ceived from Goblin. IIe never again was
seen alive. The day after Gill disappear
ed his horse was found near the point
where his master had disappeared from
view. 1t was within 100 feet Of the cave
where the charred bones of the deputy
were found.
