they admired his photographs of home.
When he was summoned on deck he
left them there. Returning, he took
them to luncheon and. having to go on
duty in the afternoon, he excused him
self so as to get into uniform. Alas!
he found that every button on his best
coat had been cut off and then he re-
membered that one of his fair guests
has been rather importunate on the
souvenir question. He got her alone
after luncheon and accused her OF the
theft and after some prevarication shs
confessed that the buttons were in her

tenant led the culprit to his cabin.

that his coat was once more in excel

MEAT OR CEREALS.
A Question Of Interest to All Care.
full Persons.

Arguments on food are interesting.
Many persons adopt a vegetarian diet
on the ground that they do not like to
feel that life has been taken to feed
them. nor do they fancy the thought
of eating dead meat.
On the other hand, too great con-
sumption of partly cooked, starchy
oats and wheat or white bread, pastry,
ETC., produces serious bowel troubles,
because the bowel digestive organs
(where starch is digested), are over
taxed and the food ferments, produc.
ing gas, and microbes generate in the
decayed food, frequently bringing on
peritonitis and appendicitis.
Starchy food is absolutely essential
to the human body. Its best form is
shown in the food "Grape-Nuts," where
the starch Is changed into form Of
sugar during the process Of it's manu-.
facture. In this way. the required
food is presented to the system in a
pre-dlgested form and is Immediately
made into blood and tissue, without
taxing the digestive organs.
A remarkable result in nourlshment
is obtained; the person using Grape
Nuts gains quickly in physical and
mental strength. Why In mental?
Because the food contains delicate
particles OF Phosphate of Potash OBJ,
tanned from the grains. and this unites
with the albumen of all food and the
combination is what nature uses to re-
build worn out cells in the brain.
This Is a scientific fact that can be
easily proven by ten days use Of
Grape Nuts. There's Reason"

Which Way

The story Is told of a major who
was In command of troops who were
in pursuit of some outlaws. In the
chase he arrived at village to dis
cover that he was too late to intercept
them. and finally ordered the horses
unsaddled and fed.
Now the majors hostler was son
of Ireland. Ignorant OF everything per
tanning to the equestrian art. and,
coming In from the village in a state
bordering on intoxication, he put the
majors saddle on the horse facing to
the rear. When the horses wers
brought up for fresh start the major,
instantly discovering the mistake. de
manded the reason for It. ' ''''
An sure" said Pat, a little terri
fied--"an' shure, major, an I didn't
know which way you was going!"
An explosion followed-the major
was satisfied--and Pat escaped pun.

for his body when he dies, and from
present indications he expects to
shuttle off this mortal coil within a
short time.
The coffin was constructed by his
own hands, and this is the second box
he has built to be buried in. The first
box, which was in some respects sim
liar to the one just completed, was
given to a neighbor for the burial OF
a relative, as no coffin could be Sc
cured in time to bury the remains.
The second box is filled with equip

clothes, in which he wants to be
dressed, have been packed in the
box, with quantity of tobacco to
keep insects from destroying them.
All that is required to complete the
outfit is a white shirt. This is now

that herd of thirty aurochses were

LIFE INSURANCE ACTIVITY.
The New York Lies Business Nearly
Up to the Legal Limit.

The New York Life Insurance Com.
Hany announces that its new paid
business during the half year Just end
ed was over seventy million dollars.
As the new law allows NO life com.
pany to write over one hundred and
fifty millions per year, 1t would ap,
pear that this company Is working
nearly mp to the limit. The New
York Life gained such Roadway be-
fore the law was passed and suffered
so little, comparatively, from the Arm
strong investigation, that the question
with its management has been how to
keep business down to the limit, rath-
err than how TO reach it. No other
company is writing nearly as much
as the law allows. The New York
Life has evidently become pre-
ferred company.
The company's payments to policy
holders during the six months end
ing June 80 were $21,660,761. 1t Is
interesting to note that this amount
was almost equally divided between
payments under policies maturing by
death and payments made to living
policy holders. Thus, while death
claims were $11,180,626, the amount
paid for matured endowments, annu-
tiles, trust fund installments, for pur-
chased policies and for dividends was
$10,480,135. Modern life insurance, as
practiced by the best companies, en-
braces wide field, and covers many
contingencies. 1t is money saved for
the aged, as well as money provided
for the families of those who die pre-
maturely.
