Facts gathered show that Bovine

A Good Head.

When Farragut ran the gantlet of
Forts Jackson and st. Philip below
New Orleans, the little gunboat Ca
yuga went in the lead, and was every
where in the thick of the fighting. A
colored boy of the crew was passing
powder when a spent grapeshot struck
a casting near him, shattered and flew
in many directions. One piece hit him
on the thickest part of his forehead,
says the author of "a Sailor of For
tune" and dropped to the deck He
picked it up nonchalantly, put it in his
pocket and kept at work. When the
fighting was over and the members of
the crew were Dragging, this boy, who
was not over IA, stepped up to some
of them and pulled the grape-shot
from his pocket. you hush!" he said

CHANGE IN FOOD
Works Wonders In Health.

1t is worth knowing that change
in food can cure dyspepsia. 81 deem
1t my duty to let you know how Grape
Nuts food has cured me of indigestion.
Il had been troubled with it for
years, until last year my doctor rec
commended Grape-Nuts food to be used
every. morning. l followed instruc-
tions and now am entirely we'll
"The whole family like GrapeNuts,
we use four packages a week. You
are welcome to use this testimonial as
you see fit"
The reason this lady was helped by
the use of Grape-Nuts food, is that 1t
is predigested by natural processes
and therefore does not tax the stomach
as the food she had been using; it also
contains the elements required for
building up the nervous system. If
that part of the human body is in per-
feet working order, there can be no
dyspepsia, for nervous energy repre-
sents the steam that drives the en-
gine.
When the nervous system is run
down, the machinery of the body
works badly. Grape-Nuts food can be
used by small children as we'll as
adults. It is perfectly cooked and
ready for instant use.

"sALLlE": A DOG OF WAR.
Was always in the Thick Of the Fight
With Her Regiment.

The heroism and tragedy of war are
not confined to it's human participants.
"Sallie" was nothing more than a lit.
tie dog but she showed a spirit which
gave her warm place in the hearts
of the soldiers of Pennsylvania whose
Martial Deeds" are chronicled by Mr..
Samuel Bates. Sallie was brought
to the captains quarters when she
was puppy, and soon became regi.
mental institution.
AS soon as the drum beat for re-
veille she was at hand, and she never
missed roll-call. No soldier was
more regular at drill, and on dress pa
rade she always accompanied the col
or-sergeant.
Port Royal, Shenandoah, Waterloo,
Rapidan Cedar Mountain and Bull
Run, and in all these battles stuck
close to the colors. Through cities,
towns and wearisome marches she
managed to thread her way.
AT Antietam she went into the corn
field with the skirmishers, who tried
in vain to drive her back. A ball
touched her side, but only marked her
hair. At Fredericksburg Sallie was in
the thick of the fight. When the
ranks thinned and broke, she, for the
first time in her life, became demor:
allied. Missing accustomed faces, she
sought the rear, and was seen to ap-
proach it at a rapid pace. This was
the only time she showed fear. Stead
lily sharing toll, privation and danger,
she never struggled or deserted.
During the first days fight at Get
tysburg she became separated from
her regiment. Returning to the battle
field she sought out her friends among
the dead and wounded. There, for
three days and nights, she kept a
faithful vigil, without food Finally
the provost of her company found her
and carried her back to her own.
Sallie received her first wound at
the Battle of the Wilderness, where
a mimic ball hit her in the neck. She
was sent to the hospital and carefully
treated, but she soon returned to the
field, where her first act was to tear
the trousers of a conscript from an
other regiment who, scared at the
firing, had broken ranks and was re-
treating.
Sallie was killed at Hatcher's Run,
as the regiment was making its first
advance. She was buried in the face
