Stealing elephants in Siam.

The stealing of elephants seems to
be proceeding in Siam on scale
which the owners of the elephants do
not appear to find at all humorous.
The industry in which the elephants
that are stolen are SO largely used is
the teak timber trade, and it has
been reported by the British Consul
that the thefts are interfering with
the profits of the work. The extent
of the trouble may be gagged by the
simple figures conveyed by the facts
that in space of little more than
year one firm had twenty-six ele-
plants stolen, of which fourteen were
recovered, and another twenty-five
stolen and thirteen recovered. The
GROWING insult appears to have been
the stealing of one of the Consuls
own transport elephants belonging
to the British Government, which has
now been missing for nearly year

An Educational Defect.

Manufacturers complain, not with
out reason, that the young man who
emerges from Oxford or Cambridge
with fine scholastic record is very
often useless for practical purposes.
We have a magnificent teaching-ma-
chine for those who can afford to en-
joy it, but it is not an instrument
that develops that faculty of self
reliance. 1t is very easy in these days
to get youth capable Of carrying out
instructions in any department fer
which he has been trained, but take
him away from routine and leave him
to his own resources, and the chances
are that he will be failure. -Coun-

WHAT is PE-RU-NA2
Is it a catarrh Remedy, or a
Tonic. or is it Both?

Some people cali Peruna a great
tonic. Others refer to Peruna as a
great catarrh remedy.
Which Of these people are right?
lis it more proper to call Peruna ca
tarrh remedy than to call it a tcnic2
Our reply is, that Peruna is both a
tonic and a catarrh remedy. Indeed,
there can be no effectual catarTh rem
edy that is not also tonic.
In order to thoroughly relieve any
case Of Catarrh, q remedy must not
only have specific action on the mu-
cous membranes affected by the ca
tarrh, but it must have a general tonic
action on the nervous system.

otherwise strong, is a weakened con-

EASY FOOD
Ready For Instant Use Without Cook
ing.

Almost everyone likes cereal food
of some kind at breakfast and supper,
but the ordinary way of cooking
cereals results in 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 trouble follows.
Everyone knows that good food
properly digested keeps the body
well, while poor food, or even food of
good quality that is poorly prepared
and not digested, is sure to bring on
some kind of disease.
The easiest food to digest in this
line is Grape-Nuts, made from wheat
! and barley, and cooked thoroughly at
kthe factory, some IL to 16 hours be-
ling consumed in the different pro-
cesses of preparation. The food,
therefore, is ready for instant SER
vice and the starch has been changed
TO form of Sugar, SO that it is pre-
digested and ready for almost imme-
date absorption.
A Chicago young lady writes that
she suffered for years from indiges-
tion and dyspepsia from the use of
food that was not suitable to her
powers of digestion. She says;
began using Grape-Nuts, and
confess to having had prejudice at
hrst. and was repeatedly urged before
finally decided to try the food, but /
have not known what indigestion is
since using it, and have never been
stronger or In better health. / have

A Remarkable RniIding.
