CHICAGO, Sept, 1.-THE Standard

obtain a supersedeas staying execu-
ton on it's property to satisfy the judg-
ment of $29,24OOO recently imposed
by Judge Lands in the United States
district court must furnish bonds to
the amount of $GOOOOOO.
This was determined today by Judge
Grosscup in the United States circuit
court, much to the chagrin of the at
torneys on both sides. Counsel for the
oil company had contended strenuous
~ for a bond of not more than $1,000
900 while the attorneys for the gov
eminent had demanded that the bond
be as high as the judgment imposed
by Judge lands.

 Their flight from start to finish last ed 93 minutes, more than 15 minutes being spent in maneuvering for a landing. In a direct line the landing place was 60 miles from the starting point, but it is estimated they actually travelled about so miles, not counting straight upshoot into the air of a mile at the start and other ascents and descents during the journey.

 When we started we shot straight up for about a mile At this height one usually experiences an unpleas- ant buzzing in the ears, but today for the first time I did not have the sen- sation.

MT Warner extends standing invitation to any of them to come to his home and spend several days with him for the purpose of studying his case.
 He was born in New Marlboro, on the estate now owned by Dr. F. M Culver. of New York, within a few miles of the place which he now occu- pies. His father was Earle Warner, who gained quite a reputation as a local astronomer. The boy did not take to the profession followed by his father and preferred to study nature.
 He had one romance. It was in his early life. The date of the wedding had been set and all was in readiness for the marriage when one evening the girl left her home and since that time the lover never heard of her whereabouts. For years he lived in hopes that some day she would return to him. He said that for nights he used 10 sit at the window and watch for the return of his sweetheart He is still a bachelor

He was in the grove near his home when he was taken ill and was found lying on the ground some hours later in an uncon- scious condition. He was carried into the house and physicians summoned. For days he remained in an uncon. scious state. On the return of con sciousness the past seemed blank to him. From that time on MT Warner says that he has been unable to sleep

The latter of these growthS has thorns on it about the size of those on a thorn tree, sharp as needles and distributed over the plant about as numerously as hair on a cat. Occasionally we would come to an open stretch and would be able to crawl under the chaparral, which interlaced at varying heights and formed kind of canopy where the ground had failed to produce.

CHANGE IN FOOD
Works Wonders in Health.

It is worth knowing that changs in food can cure dyspepsia. 'I deem it my duty to let you know how Grape Nuts food has cured me of indigestion.
 q had been troubled with it for years, until last year my doctor rec commended Grape-Nuts food to be used every morning. I followed instruc- tions and now I am entirely well.
 "The whole family like Grape-Nuts, we use four packages a week. You are welcome to use this testimonial az you see fit"
 The reason this lady was helped by the use of GrapeNuts food, is that it is predigested by natural processes and therefore does not tax the stomach as the food she had been using; it also contains the elements required for building up the nervous system. If that part of the human body is in per feet working order, there can be no dyspepsia, for nervous energy repre- sents the steam that drives the en- zine.
 When the nervous system is run down, the machinery of the body works badly. Grape-Nuts food can be used by small children as well as adults. It is perfectly cooked and ready for instant use.
