Circus Folks Most Moral.

Notwithstanding the absence of the
artificial safeguards that convention
al society has ordained. circus perform
ers are, as a class, the most moral folk
on the face of the earth An old circus
man expressed the fact in this way:
For 200 years there has not been a
domestic scandal nor divorce among
us when both husband and wife were
from recognized circus families. In ev-
cry case where there has been scan

1t is just the food have been looking
for ever so long; something that do
not have to stop to prepare and still is
Eourishing."
Grape-Nuts is the most scientifically
made food on the market. 1t Is per-
fectly and completely cooked at the fac
tory and can be served at an instant's
notice, either with rich cold cream. or
with hot milk if hot dish Is desired.
When milk or water is used, little
sugar should be added. but when cold
cream is used alone the natural grape
sugar. which can be seen glistening on
the granules, is sufficiently sweet TO
satisfy the palate This grape sugar
is not poured over the granules, as
some people think, but exudes from the
granules in the process of. manufacture
when the starch OF the grains is chang
ed from starch TO grape-sugar by the
process of manufacture. This, in effect,
is the first act of digestion; therefore,
Grape-Nuts food is pre-dgested and is

1IAN's FIGHT WITH A rlcosE.
Hunters Dogs and Companion Saved
Him from Death.


Him from Death.
Angus lie Sage, who has returned
from trip over his trapping trail at
the twenty-fourth milepost on the Gun
flint road. tells thrilling adventure
be had with moose in which he mar
rowly escaped being stamped to death
and was saved only by his dogs, says
the Grand Marals correspondent of the
st. Paul Pioneer Press.
lie Sage. who has been trapping in
that vicinity all winter, started last
week to pick up his traps and close
camp. On the trail in the vicinity of
Clearwater Lake the two dogs which
were accompanying the trapper and
which had gone on ahead were barking
furiously, and when their master
caught up with them he found that
they held monster moose at bay. lie
Sage. without thought of danger, at
! tempted to take a hand in the fun,
starting toward the animal and incit-
ing the dogs to renew the attack by
clapping his hands.
AS soon as the moose saw its human
enemy it charged fercely at him. and
the trapper in attempting to make a
sharp turn became entangled in his
snowshoes and fell heavily to the
ground. The animal was almost upon
him and had its hoofs raised to beat
his life cut when the dogs, seeing their
masters peril, attacked the moose
fiercely from behind. This caused e
diversion and the appraised hoof of the
animal descended on the mans leg in
stead of upon his head.
/ Meantime a companion of lie Sage,
who had been some distance in the
rear, came up and assisted the man to
his feet. Then the combined efforts of
the men and dogs put the Infatuated
moose to flight.
LIE Sage was not badly hurt. escaping
with confusion caused by the heavy
fall upon the frozen snow and with a
bad scrape along the muscles Of his
leg by the hoof of the moose.

HOW TO BE A CENTENARIAN.
Sir Lander Brunton's Advice to
Those Who wouId Reach 100

Those Who Would Reach 100.
Though three-score years and ten is
generally regarded as the normal span
of life, there are no insuperable rea-
sons, in the opinion of Sir Lauder Brun-
ton, why it should not be the rule rath-
er than the exception for men ard
women to retain their activity until
80 and even 100.
1.-The number of men living to 100
years per 100000 of the population
from 1891 to 1900 is only seven and
women twenty-four. as compared with
II. cen men and thirty women in 1888
to 1854" he says.
Dust Sir Lauder Brunton regards as
one of the greatest enemies of old age,
sine it is a frequent cause of colds
anC other respiratory diseases.
AT the time when 1 used my con-
sulting room as library" he says, Il
found very frequently that if l had
occasion TO consult q book from one of
the top shelves was apt to get cold
in my head.
This occurred with such regularity
that at last I took to sponging the top
of the book with a solution Of carbolic
acid before using it."
Chills and especially local chills are
to be guarded against.
Wind which comes fairly in ones
face Is little to be dreaded, but IL wind
catches one at the back of the neck.
behind the ear or even at the side of
the head it is much more dangerous.
Largely open windows are compar-
atively safe, but chink through which
the air blows with fcrce is to be care
fully avoided.
Zone reason of this probably is that
wind blowing through a chink causes a
more rapid current of air and thus
chills the part of the body against
which it impinges much more quickly
than air moving slowly and still more
than air which is not moving at ALL"
Improper mastication of food is also
fruitful cause Of organic diseases in
middle age.
The practice of gobbling" Sir Lau-
der Brunton says, may to a certain
extent at least, be responsible for the
larger proportion of cancer of the stom-
ach which occurs in men more than in
women at the age of 90 years, the num-
bers being 3,244 and 2,S67, while at Go
