WHITE BREAD
Makes Trouble for People with Weak
Intestinal Digestion.

A lady in Wis. town employed a
physician who instructed her not to
eat white bread for two years. She
tells the details of her sickness and
she certainly was a sick woman.
I'm the year 1887 1 gave out from
overwork, and until 1901 I remained
an invalid in bed great part of the
time. Had different doctors but moth
ing seemed to help. suffered from
cerebro-spinal congestion, female trou-
BILE and serious stomach and bowel
trouble. My husband called a new
doctor and after having gone without
any food for 10 days the doctor Or
dered Grape-Nuts for me. I could eat
the new food from the very first
mouthful. The doctor kept me on
Grape-Nuts and the only medicine
was little glycerine to heal the
alimentary canal.
when l was up again doctor told
me to eat Grape-Nuts twice day and
no white bread for two years. / got

strength SO l can do my own work

and I know that the Grape-Nuts food

BALM OF SCRIPTURE
HEALING PROPERTIES OF PINE
KNOWN TO ANcIENTs.
OIL of the White Pine Tree Used Sue
cessfully by Physicians in Treat
ing Consumptive Patients.

The Oil of the Pine Tree is sup
posed to be the balm of Scripture 1t
contains great medicinal properties
and was regarded with the utmost
esteem by the ancients. and to the
present day is peculiarly priced by
the people of the East.
A noted authority on diseases of the
throat and lungs, who established a
camp for consumptives In the Pine
Woods of Maine, says that his entire
treatment consisted of fresh air,
nourishing food and the Pure Virgin
Oil of the White Pine Trees, mixed
with Whisky and Glycerine in the fol-
lowing proportions:
Virgin Oil of Pine (Pure) .hoz.
Glycerine 2"
Good Whisky ...........-...
Used in teaspoonful doses every four
hours.
1t is claimed the above mixture will
heal and strengthen the lungs, break
up a cold in twenty-four hours, and
cure any cough that is durable.
The ingredients can be secured
from any good prescription druggist
at small cost, and can be easily mixed
in your own home.
Virgin Oil of Pine (Pure) is put up
only in half-ounce walls for dispensing.
Each vial is securely sealed in a
round wooden case with engraved
wrapper with the name-Virgin Oil
of Pine (Pure), prepared only by
Leach Chemical Co., Cincinnati, o.
plainly printed thereon. There are
many rank limitations of Virgin Oil
of Pine (Pure), which are put out
under various names, such as Con-
centrated Oil of Pine, Pine Bal
sam, etc. Never accept these as a
substitute for the Pure Virgin Oil of
Pine, as they will invariably produce
nausea and never effect the desired
result.

Berth Was Reserved.

Franklin K. Lane, interstate COM
merce commissioner, went west last
week. He wanted to reserve a berth
from Chicago to Minneapolis. He
wired the request and this reply came
back: Cant do it. Interstate com
merce commission will not allow it."
He fired wire back reading: by
what authority do you say interstate
commerce commission will not allow
you to reserve berth in a sleeping
carr" The Pullman agent answered:
by the authority of recent ruling"
Mr.. Lane was interested by this time
and he telegraphed: Il am a member
of the interstate commerce commits
sion and am not familiar with the rul-
ing. Give me. a reference" And a
short time afterward he received this
telegram: Berth reserved"

DeveIoplna the Sudan.

There is talk in England of the pro-
posed development of the natural re-
sources of the Sudan through scien-
tific exploration. Immense forests
line the banks of the Blue Nile along
Its upper reaches, extending to the
Abyssinian frontier. The ebony tree
Is met with along that river and also
near the Sobat. Along the White Nile
the india rubber creeper,- valuable
source of rubber, abounds. There are
large forests in the Bahr-el-Ghazal
province and gold has been mined in
some of the mountains. Search will
be made for fuel.

Rajah's Unique Conveyance.

While amphibious vehicles are not
in themselves a novelty, it is safe to
declare the combination conveyance
just built in England for an Indian
maharajah as absolutely unique. The
body, shaped like a boat and painted
in rainbow hues in accordance with
eastern ideas of col0r, is hung upon
four-wheelod SIX .leton carriage.
While intended by it's owner as state
carriage, it may be used on occasions
as state boat, as the body can be
unslung and converted into an electric
launch. The skeleton carriage is
about Is feet long and is provided
with four rubber-tired wheels. There
is seat for a driver and room for
four in the boat-shaped coach. The
total weight of the outfit is less than
one ton.

Life Without Mind.

The possibility of life without mind,
while not subject to positive proof, is
theory that has gained considerable
strength recently through it's advocacy
by DR.. L. Laloy, librarian of the
Academy of Sciences, Paris. He be-
lieves that many of the smaller living
organisms, such as insects, are mere
moving machines, having no Y2ore in
telligence than may be ascribed to
plants. He refers to the well known
fact that insects are attracted by light,
often to their own destruction, and as
cribes it to the same cause that in.
clines the plant to grow toward the
light.
