DOCTORS FOOD TALK

A Mass. doctor says: Our health

are so largely under our personal con-
troll that the proper selection of food
should be, and is one of the most inn
portant acts in life
"On this subject, may say that /

and more powerful in point of nutri-
ment, than the modern Grape-Nuts,

fcient for the cereal part of a meal.
and experience demonstrates that the
user is perfectly nourished from one
meal to another.
I am convinced that the extensive
and general use of high class foods Of
this character would increase the term
of human life, add to the sum total of
happiness and very considerably i'm
prove society in general. I am free to
mention the food, for personally
know of its value"
Grape-Nuts food can be used by

THOUGHT CHILD WOULD DIE.
Whole Body Covered with Cuban Itch
-Cuicura Remedies Cured at Cost
of SeventyFive Cents.

''My little boy, when only an infant
of three months, caught the Cuban
Itch. Sores broke out from his head
to the bottom of his feet. He would
itch and claw himself and cry all the
time. He could not sleep day or night,
and light dress is all he could wear.
I called one of our best doctors to
treat him, but he seemed to get worse.
He suffered so terribly that my hus-
band said he believed he would have
to die. / had almost given up hope
when a lady friend told me to try the
Cuticura Remedies. / used the Cuti-
cura Soap and applied the Cuticura
Ointment and he at once fell into a
sleep, and he slept with ease for the
first time since two months. After
three applications the sores began to
dry up, and in just two weeks from the
day commenced to use the Cuticura
Remedies my baby was entirely we'll.
The treatment only cost me 75c, and
would have gladly paid 800 if could
not have got it cheaper. feel safe in
saying that the Cuticura Remedies
saved his life. Heis now a boy of five

der, and on top of this are placed the
colored stars in the proper sequence
of color. On top of this comes a COM
position called fuse, which makes the
intervals between the discharge of the

ton.
Quick match, one of the important
features of fireworks manufacture, is
made from specially prepared wick
soaked in a solution of gunpowder. At
the proper time it is wound off on
frames and just before it is dried it is
sifted over with very fine powder in
order to make it extra quick ineaction.
1t is then cut in lengths of about six
feet and worked into what is known
as match paper, after which it is
placed in manila paper cases and
joined together. Fire at one end of
quick match leaps to the other and al
most as quickly as would electricity.
The quick match is fitted out on what
are known as lances, or rods of bam-
boo. For set pieces the design is
sketched by an artist and then scaled
so it can be enlarged to any size. The
regulation set piece frame is 10x5
feet and is divided into squares foot
large. The design is outlined in rat
tan, pegs are driven into the rattan
and on these pegs are fastened the

effects steel and iron filings are added.

Injury from Mosouitoea.

New Jersey has many places ideal
In situation and accessibility, and one
such place developed rapidly to a GER
tain point and there it stood, halted
by the mosquitoes that bred in the
surrounding marsh lands. Country
club, golf, tennis and other attrac-
lions ceased to attract when attention
was necessarily focused on the biting
or singing pests that intruded every
where, and the tendency was to sell
out. But the owners were not ready
to quit without a fight, and an. i'm
provement society was formed which
consulted with my Office and followed
my advice. In one year the bulk OF
the breeding area was drained, mos
quitoes have since been absent al
most entirely; one gentleman, not a
large owner, either, told me his prop
erty had increased $4,000 in value,
and new settlers began to come in.

areas of the olden day was used as

dences are planned for next year

Laundry work at home would be
much more satisfactory if the right
Starch were used. In order to get the
desired stiffness, it is usually neces-
sary to use SO much starch that the
beauty and fineness of the fabric is
hidden behind a paste of varying
thickness, which not only destroys the
appearance, but also affects the wear
ing quality of the goods. This trou-
BILE can be entirely overcome by using
Defiance Starch, as it can be applied
much more thinly because of its great
er strength than other makes.

boxing bout before the Washing.
ton Sporting club last night Fit
did not show a trace of his former

so.
The blow that put Fitz out was a
light right to the jaw. The old
man fell to the floor and as he at
tempted to rise the referee stopped
the bout. The spectators took com
passion on the former pugilist star
and refrained from Kissing. Referee

cause he had heard that Fitz had a
badly sprained arm. The manager
of the club then entered the ring and
watched the match. In the opening
round Johnson stopped Fitz when and
where he chose.
