not hesitate to say that in my judg-

perience with the fully-cooked food,
known as Grape-Nuts, enables me to
speak freely of it's merits.
From overwork, l suffered several
yea with malnutriton, palpitation OF
the heart, and loss of sleep. Last
summer I was led to experiment per-
sonally with the new food, which I
used in conjunction with good rich

commenced it's use, the disagreeable
symptoms disappeared, my hearts ac-
ton became steady and normal, the
functions of the stomach were proper

soundly and as well as in my youth.
Il look upon Grape-Nuts as a per-
feet food, and no one can gainsay but
that it has most prominent place in

THE NEW INSURANCE AGENT.
He Comes in With the New Law-Paul
Morton on His Opportunity.

The new insurance law of the State
of New York has opened up pronis-
ing field for both men and women
with brains and energy in the sale of
life insurance. The law now provides
standard forms of policies, each of
which practically bears the hall mark
Of the State of New York, and this new
order of things has established the
sale of life insurance on correct
basis.
The prohibition against rebating and
extravagant allowances to agents has
driven out of the business the old
type of insurance agent. who in many
cases virtually bought business, with
large rebates, instead of selling it.
His place is being taken by profess
sors, lawyers, school teachers of both
sexes. and others, who find that being
a life insurance agent under the new
system offers greater reward than
their previous vocations. The law has
reduced commissions but all of the
commission now goes to the agent.
Life insurance is something that
everyone needs and under the pres
ent system it's sale is being conducted
with becoming dignity and propriety.
Paul Morton, president of the Equita-
BILE Life Assurance Society, has taken
the lead in building up an agency or
ganization that is in keeping with the
demands of public sentiment, and the
standard he has set for his company.
He says: I'VE want new agents, both
men and women, but none except en-
ergetic, able and truthful people need
apply. For such there is a splendid
opportunity
Mr.. Morton's policy of injecting new
and vigorous blood into the agency
force of the Society is meeting with
success in all parts of the country.

Professional prize fighters first saw
the light of day in England. Writers
on boXiana and fistiana are not agreed
as to the date of its origin, but some
of the older scribes believe it was in
the seventeenth century. In one of
Hogarths pictures, ''Longworth Fair"
there is representation of a bully
offering to tackle anybody and howl
ing forth challenge to all strong men
of muscle to enter the lists with him.
That was during the reign of George
II. The fellow pictured by Hogarth
was man well known in London in
those days. He was called Fig, an ig-
norant, uneducated boor, but a fighter
all the same, and many writer's agree
that he was the original professional
prize fighter. He had fight once with
another of his class, Venetian Condo
lier known as Jawbreaker There was
much betting on the event, even at
that early date. Fig licked the Condo
lier, and held on to his prestige until
death. Another of the ancient English
pugilists who at one time enjoyed
considerable fame was Tom Pipes.
Tom crooked his elbow too frequently,
however, and was whipped by a SLOW
emily, unscientific person called Ham
mersmith Jack. That ended the fame
of Mr.. Pipes, for every man with
whom he fought afterwards got the
best of him. Among the other noted
pugilists of those days was a man
named Billy Willis, she fighting
Quaker, another saighty boxer named
Tom Smallwood, and still another
whose sobriquet sVas George the
Baker. All stood high in the fstic
amphitheaters of those days. They
all fought for "the diversion of gentle.
men," with, of course. a lot of money
