Giants and Dwarfs.

The town of Ligonier, Noble county,
Ind, claims the unique distinction of
having for citizens the largest and
smallest men, physically considered, in
the west. George Washington Walker
is without question the heaviest man in
Indiana, If not in the United States.
He weighs 500 pounds, is now 46 years
old and is adding steadily to his weight
at the rate of twenty-five pounds each
year of his life. His waist measure
ment is seventy-six inches, chest under
arms sixty-eight inches and arm TWEEN
ty-five inches. He is in excellent health
but finds locomotion rather difficult, al
though he travels about in a specially
constructed conveyance. He is the
father of two bright children and lives
retired life, attempting to avoid much
notoriety. In the heated season he
lives altogether in the cellar of his
residence. Walkers physical antique
is Jesse Walker, his neighbor. The
latter is 10 yearssof age and possesses
body of fair size. His legs, however,
are twelve inches in length. He Is
three feet three inches tall and weighs
but fifty pounds. Jesse Is promising
youth, mentally well equipped and as
ayerse to notoriety as George Washing
ton Walker. The two men have re-
ceiyed fattering offers from museum
proprietors, but at present have no de-
sire for that kind Of fame. st. Louis

MANIA FOR DANCING.
Whole Family Had Irresistible Desire
to Walk on Hands.


to Walk on Hands.
A strange scene was witnessed the
other day in the Office of a Paris pc.
lice superintendent.
A woman of middle age named
Nine Brerotti entered his bureau to
'odge a complaint on the subject of
her house. She could not, she said,
enter her apartment without an ire
istihle temptation to walk on her
.tards.
Concluding that he had to deal with
a lunatic the officer sent for the wo-
mans son, whom he told to have his
mother placed under care.
But she is sane" said the young
man. What she says about walking
on her hands is quite true, and feel
it myself, as does an uncle who lives
with u.s.
The uncle, man of so, was sum-
moned, and he had not been talking
to the officers many minutes before he
declared the temptation was master
ing him. Without more ado he began
careening about on his hands, mother
and son followed suit, and the superin-
tendent watched all three move easily
about on their hands with their heels
In the air.
Seeing that it was case of family
lunatics, he hastily promised to ''have
the house disinfected," and drew up Q

People hesitate at the statement that
the famous food, Grape-Nuts, yields az
much nourishment from one pound as
can be absorbed by the system from
ten pounds of meat, bread, Wheat or
oats. Ten pounds Of meat might con-
tain more nourishment than one pound
of Grape-Nuts, but not in shape that
the system will absorb as large q pro-
portion of, as the body can take up
from one pound of Grape-Nuts.
This food contains the selected parts
of wheat and barley which are pre-

Heavyweight Kitchen Folks.

Heavyweight Kitchen Folks.
1T will do you more good to smell
food that Is being cooked than it will
to eat it after it is cooked" was the
astounding statement made by a res
taurant man.
THAT is the reason why so many
professional cooks are heavyweights.
You never saw any one who became a
chef and stayed at it any length of
time but became fleshy. Cooks never
eat to any great extent, except to taste
the food at times while it is being
cooked in order to see If it is done. 1t
is the otfor of the food in the kitchen
that makes them fat.
The same will apply in the case OF
the housewife. Continuous work in the
kitchen makes feshy women and
healthy women. Cooking is the
healthiest occupation in the world"

may truthfully be said that it is dis

DOES ADVERTISING PAY?

In this issue considerable space is
taken up by a sermon on advertising.
The readers of the article will not
hesitate in saying that advertising
pays, abundantly, that is the right
class of advertising. As local ex-
ample we might mention the fact
of a case of recent local advertising.
The Morris Hoffman company decided
to have a special sale of Buster Brown
shoes and Best Ever suits, and in the
upto-date manner characteristic of
the firm proceeded to use extensive
newspaper space to tell their patrons
about the sale. The results fully sat
isfed the Morris Holman company,
and so successful was the sale of
these suits that they have decided to
continue it for one week Advertis-
