SHORT STORY
Food That Changed His Life

Many level headed business men pay too little attention to what they eat until sickness attacks them.
 Sedentary occupation, improper food and daily resort to drugs, coffee or liquors to smother" the disease has put many a good man away.
 For many years my labors have been entirely indoors" writes a New York man.
 with nasty eating of lunch with more or less greasy food and pastry told on my digestion.
 For long period I tried scores of remedies without avail. and finally I was compelled to resign my position as secretary of an important business association. My weight had run down from 145 to 11S pounds. I was unable to sleep naturally. rose unfreshed and without ambition. simply dragged about, feeling more dead than alive,
 About year ago, at meeting of the Royal Arcanum of which I am Orator, was advised by a fellow mem- Der to try Grape-Nuts. But I had no faith in treating the matter with such a method, and said so.
 He finally won my promise to give it fair trial. I began the following day and, to make a long story short, in less than a year I have revolu- tionized my physical and mental con- dition. now weigh close to 15o pounds and can digest all my food, which is eaten with relish. This change is due to Grape-Nuts."

THREE TRAINS
 OF THE STEEL Big Order for the Bell Building. FOR DELIVERY IN DECEMBER Piers on Which Superstructure
 Will Rest Nearly All In. steeiwcrk on Gay-Teague Hotel Almost Completed and Brlekwork on
 Rear Wall Advanced to
 The sixth story.
oR DELIVERY IN DECEMBER

Work on Montgomery's two sky scrapers that are now in course of construction is progressing very rapid ". Both the Bell building, at Lee and Montgomery Streets, and the Gay Teasue Hotel building. at Bibb and Commerce Streets, revealing some- thing of the shape they will give when finally completed.
 An order has been filled for the con- tractors on the Bell building for no less than 1.200 tons of steel for the superstructure. As soon as it is re- ceived, the building will go up rapidly. This material, it has been promised, will reach Montgomery not later than December IS.
 The steel for the building 1t Is es- tfmated. will require three long trains for Its transportation to Montgomery. The 1900 tons. amounting to 2,400.0 .000 pounds, will require sixty cars, if each is loaded with 10000 pounds of the steel.
 The steel. of course, will not all be furnished in Montgomery at the same time, but the first installment will ar rive, if the promises made the contract OTIS be kept. not later than December 15. and other installments will reach the city 1 ntime for the contractors to prosecute their work without interrupt ion.
 The piers of masonry upon which the steel framework of tke superstruct- ure will rest have now nearly all been completed and everything will. be in readiness by the time the first install ment of steel arrives for it's immediate use Only two of the forty-three piers still remain to be put in.
 The steel work on the new Gay Teague Hotel is rapidly pushing sky ward, the framework being completed nearly to the top of the building. Work is being pushed on this detail of the construction, and 1t Is believed that 1t will be but short time until the en- tire framework is up and 1t will need only the enclosure and the Inside fin- ishings to make complete structure.
 The laying of the rear wall of the building has already commenced. The brick wall on the southwestern end, next to the carriage works. Is already advanced to the sixth story. and will be pushed rapidly.
 The purpose Is to get the building shortly in order that work on the in- terior may be prosecuted secure rom Interruption, no matter what weather may be experienced before spring.
