 The Vudor Screen (for which we are agents) is by far the best screen made.
 It affords perfect protection from the sun, at the same time admitting the air, and it is so well made that it will last a lifetime. The colors are fast.

BLOOD KILLS GERMS. Good Blood Made by Good Food.

If one can surely turn food into good red blood 1t will combat any and every disease known and conquer completely more times than the disease will win.
 Any physician will tell you that good, rich blood, and plenty of 1t, is the best ger micide known, and surely and safely cures disease when medicines fail; the effort of the doctor Is to give food that digests and quickly makes blood.
 No food ever discovered will do this as certainly as Grape-Nuts, which is predigest- ed at the pure food factories where 1t is made.
 One of the many illustrations Is that of tuberculosis, which refuses to yield to medi- cine, but must give way to good blood. man from Phia writes:
 q have been fighting tuberculosis for some years, and, with a. weak stomach, was losing ground slowly every year.
 T had tried all kinds of food and finally got so far along with the disease that my stomach, liver kidneys. bowels and lungs were affected My stomach got to a point where it would retain no food bur peptonized milk, and was down to 90 lbs in weight
 The doctors said about two years ago that had but a month or two more to live. About that time I was put on Grape-Nuts and cream. It never showed the first sign of coming up, but agreed from the start, and in a few days began to feel increased strength, so I kept on, with the result that the healthy blood has driven the disease from every organ of my body except the lungs and is slowly driving 1t from them.
 T have gained greatly in vitality and strength and added 29 lbs to my weight. If ,an keep on as l have been, 1t seems clear tNat will get entirely well, thanks to old Dame Nature, whose work was made pos sible by Grape-Nuts food, which I could digest" There's Reason"

All around Chnotung lies abundance
Of silver. copper. coal AMI iron. but
the Chinese have very primitive ways
OF getting the minerals. They admit
foreigners are the best ut that kind of
thing because they have the power Of
seeing underground. Some years ago
two Japanese went to Chaotung explor
ing. for silver. The authorities wanted
to test their powers. They buried some
silver ingots on the parade ground.
Then they took the Japanese walk
that way. ''Is there any silver about
LereE' they asked. No" said the
Japanese. this is not the kind OF soil
In which silver IL found" Then the
buried metal was produced from un-
der their feet. amid the loud hilarity
Of all Celestial ofiicialdom. since which
time the ChaOtungese have had a pro-
digious contempt for foreigners.

All the other guests kept their seats
until the Ginning of the church bell
announced that the bridal party had
started. for as deeply rooted as was
the belief in the winners omen was
the belief that misfortune would surely
follow the bride In her married life
did any in the race pass her carriage
during the run.
At the first clang OF the bell there
was a general and hurried uprising.
Myer md Wilhelm were the FIRST out.
and as they stepped on the porch they
saw Myers seherse flying down the road
toward his hottie with broken hitch

frantic anger Myer jumped from the
porch and went yelling after the horse.

He jumped In the buggy and drove TO

horses when he caught sight OF VIII

January 31st, 1908, being the ami
versary of Comrade VIM. M. Broad.
ways 71st birthday, bis camp was sur
prised in the afternoon. The Comrade
happening near the outpost saw the
enemy advancing in close column at
half distance and like the good soldier
that he is, after giving the alarm, he
made inquiry as to providing ammu-
milton and was assured by his second
in command that it was provided in
plenty. Well the old soldiers had a
grand time. They we're invited out to
a table bOuntifully supplied with ice
cream, cakes, fruit, coffee and other
refreshments. and promptly and pleas
antly waited upon by Mrs. Broadway
and her lady assistants, Miss Mary
Broadway and Miss NJ. A. Murray.
1t was a very enjoyable affair and the
comrades, feeling very grateful to all
concerned in making the occasion so
pleasant, and wishing the comrade
many happy returns of the day, qui-
city took their leave.
