COMB DEFLEcTs BULLET.
Chicago Girl Survives Tragedy In
Which Two Were Killed.

Chicago, Ill.--That pretty Sal
vina Awald is alive today as the only
witness to tragedy in which she VAS
shot and two others we're killed Is due
only to heavy comb which she wore
in the back of her hair.
One of the two bullets fred by Mich
ael DeTrain, after he had instantly
killed Salyina Buttman, who rejected
his offer of marriage, hit the comb,
glanced off and tore the young won
ans scalp. She will recover. Il the
course of the bullet had not bee1
changed she would now be dead, ply
sicians say.
The shooting occurred on a street
corner in Melrose Park, a suburb. De
termined to kill Miss Buttman and
then to commit suicide, DeTrain met
the young woman by appointment She
was accompanied by her cousin, Sal
yina Awald. When the latter saw the
revolver she tried to grasp 1t. De
Train jerlled It from her and fired one
shot at Miss Buttman. She dropped
dead. Then he fired the shot that
nearly cost the life of Miss Awald. A
moment later he killed himself.

The work OF raising funds in several
counties OF the State to be used in
erecting monuments to the Confederate
dead is making steady progress The
board OF supervisors OF Kinds county
appropriated $4,000 for a monument to
be erected at Raymond.
AT Yazoo City the Daughters OF the
Confederacy have selected very orig
inal and attractive design. The monu-
ment will bear two figures in bronze, q

A Body Balance

People hesitate at the statement tnat
the famous food, GrapeNuts, yields as
much nourishment from one pound as
can be absorbed by tho 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-
tion. People in all parts of the world
testify to the value of Grape-Nuts.
A Mo. man says: Il have gained ten
pounds on Grape.Nuts food. can
truly recommend 1t 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 its use will reduce
the weight OF corpulent person with
unhealthy flesh. and will add to the
weight of thin person not properly
uouriehed. There is abundance OF
evidence to prove this.
Grape-Nuts balances the body In q
condition of true health. Scientific Sc.
lection OF food elements makes Grape
Nuts good and valuable. Its delicious
flavor and powerful nouris ains prop
critics have made friends that In
turn have made Grape-Nui ! famous.

Good Reason for Capt. Bascomb's In
termittent Hearing.

When Capt. Bascomb had left his
old friend, Capt Somers, and the new
school teacher sitting on the south
porch, and had disappeared down the
road, the young woman spoke Of him
with some curiosity.
II understand from Mrs. Bascomb
that her husband was very deaf, al
most stone-deaf, she told me, I'm
sure" said the school teacher But
he seemed to hear all we said with
perfect ease"
Capt. Somers leaned toward her
and spoke in a low, cautious tone, al
though there was no eavesdropper to
hear him.
Don't let Mis- Bascomb know It,"
he said, hurriedly. He does seem
to hear pretty well when she amt
round, but none Of us folks ever let
on to her She's a good woman as
ever lived, but most tremendous

We all think that Gersh Bascomb be-

Timber Wasting Away.

According to prominent lumber man
ufacturers who own lands in and ada
cent to the path Of the equinoctial storm
of last September, not more than 20 per
cent OF the timber felled during the
storm has been saved, and the re-
mainder is now being eaten up by the
worms. This means a loss OF large
proportions, 1t being estimated that
fully S4,000000 worth OF timber was
telled by the winds. The lumbermen
who could possibly do SO had the fallen
trees transported to mill ponds, but
they were unable to get sufficient labor
to complete the task along the entire
course OF the storm, and destruction has
been the consequence. The worms
have been busily engaged throughout
the summer, and the loss is practically
complete.
