SPRINT WAS NOT ENJOYED.
Washingtonian Cot More Exercise
Than He Cared For.

A funny story is going the rounds
concerning a recent adventure of a
Washington merchant who tips the
scales at something over 800 pounds.
The> portly' party was in a hurry to
catch a train that was scheduled to
leave at certain hour, and finding
that he only had fifteen minutes in
which to reach the depot, he hastily
summoned an ancient nighttime coupe.
The vehicle was as rickety and un-
certain as the tabled Parsons One
Hoss Shay" and just before the fat
man entered the rig he notified the
driver to hasten to the station at top
speed
With this he scrambled into the
coupe and slammed the door. Hardly
had he done so when his great avoir-
dupois caused the floor of the vehicle
to go down and out like a fash The
big mans feet went down to the con-
creted roadway, but by grasping the
small seat in front of him he man
aged to keep himself from falling into
the running gear. The vehicle in the
meantime Was going at quarter-horse
speed, the driver heading for the de-
pot and flashing his bony steed into all
the run it had in it's not over MINI
BILE legs.
The fat man found himself COM
PEELED to work his chubby limbs with
great rapidity and fairly run in COM
pany with the old hack to the railroad
station, upon reaching which he sank
to the ground from exhaustion and of
course missed the train After the
stout Individual had partially recov-
cred from his enforced foot race
against time, the driver demanded his
fare and damages for the loss of the
floor of his coupe.
"You wait, you BANKED scoundrel,
until I get my wind and I'll pay you
with big club,' said the exasper-
ated merchant "You made me run
nearly fifteen blocks owing to the
rottenness of your rig, and now you

The day after the great fire follow

II advocates of the simple life wish

few days with one of the coyote hunt

team. he wanders over the prairies
and mountains, setting lis coyote and
wolf traps and generally reaping
substantial income from the annual
yield of skins. The bounties paid by
Western states for coyote hides will
repay skillful trapper for his trouble
and expense in catching the animals,
and then there is a good profit in sell

The coyote hunter is welcome

FOOD
FACTS
Grape-Nuts
FOOD
F O O ID
A Body Balance

People hesitate at the statement that
the famous food, Grape-Nuts, yields as
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 a 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-
pared and by natural means predi-
gested, transformed into a form of
sugar, ready for immediate assimila-
ton. People in all parts of the world
testify to the value of Grape-Nuts.
A Mo. man says: II have gained ten
pounds on Grape-Nuts food. I can
truly recommend it to thin people"
He had been eating meat, bread, etc.,
right along, but there was no ten
pounds of added flesh until Grape-Nuts
food was used.
One curious feature regarding true
health food is that it's use will reduce
the weight of a corpulent person with
unhealthy flesh, and will add to the
weight of a thin person not properly
nourished. There is abundance of
evidence to prove this. r.
Grape-Nuts balances the body in a
condition of true health. Scientific Sc
lection of food elements makes Grape
Nuts good and valuable. It's delicious
favor and powerful nourishing prop
critics have made friends that in
turn have made Grape-Nuts famous.

''That is the reason why so many
