NEVER TIRES
OF the Food That Restored Her to
Health.

my food was killing me and I
didn't know the cause, " writes a Colo.
young lady: For two years was
thin and sickly. suffering from indi-
gestion and inhammatory rheuma-
tism
Il had tried different kinds Of diet,
plain living and many OF the rene
dies recommended. but got no better.
Finally, about FIVE weeks ago,
mother suggested that / try Grape
Nuts, and ] began at once, eating Il
with little cream or milk. A
change for the better began at once.
To-day ] am well and am gaining
weight and strength all the time.
I've gained 10 lbs in the last five
weeks, and do not suffer any more
from indigestion and the rheumatism
is all gone.
II know &c is 20 Grape-Nuts alone
that 7 owe my restored health 7

never tire OF it." Name given by

The flavor OF GraDc-Nuts is pecu-
liar TO itself II SIS neutral, not too
sweet and has an agreeable. healthful
quality that never grows tiresome
One Of tile sources of rheumatism
Is from overlooking the system with
acid material. the result OF imperfect
digestion and assimilation.
AS soon as improper food IS aban-
doned and Grape-Nuts is taken regu-
larly digestion is made strong, the
organs do their work OF building up
good red blood cells and OF carrying
away the excess OF disenso-making
material from the system.
The result Is a certain and steady

SmokeIess Powder.

The color of the modern smokeless
powder has the shade OF dark amber
In the sense of powder being a fine
ly divided solid, smokeless powder is
no powder at all. 1t consists of a
waXlike composition, the size Of the
grains" varying according to the
calibres of the guns. For use in re-
volvers, rifles and sporting guns, the
grains resemble the tiny perforated
glass beads of the sort used in old
time needlewoTk. For the machine
guns, the rapid-fire guns and the heavy
rifles of battleships and forts, the
grains are cylindrical In shape, vary
ing in size from a third of an inch in
diameter and half an inch in length
to threefourths OF an inch i'm dia-
meter and about two inches in length
each grain, in order to increase the
area exposed to ignition, being per-
forated equi-distantly and longitudin-
ally with from one to six holes, big
as knitting needles, depending upon
the size of the grain.

Consumption of Matches.

1t is estimated that the United King
dom alone manages to consume $780,
100000 matches day, which comes
out at about IL for every man, wo-
man and child. Smokers probably
account for the greater number, so
that they will be interested to know
that about 90 tons OF wood are used
up in the form of matches every day,
or about 10000 tons a year. If one
days consumption of matches were
placed end to end they would extend
for distance of about $1,000 miles.
Sweden and Norway, where matches
are made in enormous quantities. ex-
port over $4,000 tons of wooden
matches every year. In France, where
the tax on matches averages s cents
an inhabitant, the consumption is
comparatively small.

Earth,s Interior Iron.

PAPER MADE FROM PEAT.

Sprung Up in Michigan.
Under the startling title From
Peat to Paper in Two Hours" James
Cooke Mills describes in The Tecbni-
cal World Magazine a wonderful in
dustry which has sprung up in Michi-
gan. BY a peculiar process which
the author details the peat is convert
ed into cardboard, finished. weighed
and tied in packages ready for shin
ment-all in two hours, and at a cost
or $S a ton, whereas the strawboard
now in use costs over $40 a ton to
produce. 1t is not matter of paper
and pencil plans and theoretical pro-
fits, either, for the plant has been
working "a hours day, six DAVIS a
week, for several months. and turn
ing out about 80 tons of the finished
product daily. All that the plant can
produce is at present being used in
the manufacture of cartons, by the
makers of breakfast foods and other
tood products. The finished product
is superior to the cardboard made
from straw or wood pulp. I'm several
ways. The passing of the peat pulp
ever hot rolls in the process of man
utacture brings to the surface of the
paper the natural oil of the peat and
makes the surface of the finished
product waterproof and antiseptic. Be-
sides this peat paper is lacking I'm the
odor which straw or wood pulp paper
possesses. The peat cardboard IS
also extremely tough.

Allcock's Plasters. They are safe because
they contain no deleterious drugs and are
manufactured upon scientific principles Of
medicine. They arc sure because nothing

which plaster is required They are
speedy in their action because their medic.
inal qualities go right to their work OF
relieving pain and restoring the natural
and healthy performance of the functions

Alleock's Plasters are the original and

Nome Means "Home."

1t is said that the name of Nome

He evidently intended to write the
word "home," but the makers Of the

name of Nome belongs to history and

authorities claim that the word Nome

A correspondent of the London
Times calls attention to the need of an
automatic recording speed-indicator
Tor railway trains. Both of the most
recent important fatal railway cas-
uaities in England were undoubtedly
caused by excessive speed at points
where the regulations required a slow
ing down. Engine-drivers become
reckless and disregard rules, safely
at first, but ultimately meet with dis
aster. If the record of speed during
each trip were to be submitted to in
spection, there would be less disobedi-
ence, and greater safety Possibly
the recording speed-indicator has been
invented, but it appears not to be in
use anywhere.
