DR. TALKS OF FOOD Pres. of Board of Health.

What shall I eat?" is the daily in- quiry the physician is met with. I do not hesitate to say that in my judgment large percentage of dis ease is caused by poorly selected and improperly prepared food. My per sonal experience with the fully cooked food, known as Grape Nuts, enables me to speak freely of its merits.
 From overwork, I suffered several years with malnutrition, palpitation of the heart and loss of sleep. Last summer I was led to experiment personally with the new food, which I used in conjunction with good rich cows milk. In a short time after l commenced it's use, the disagreeable symptoms disappeared, my hearts ac- tion became steady and normal, the functions of the stomach were prop erly carried out and l again slept as soundly and as well as in my youth.
 q look upon Grape-Nuts as a per feet food, and no one can gainsay but that it has a most prominent place in q rational, scientific system of feed ing. Any one who uses this food will soon be convinced of the soundness of the principle upon which 1t Is manufactured and may thereby know the facts as to its true worth.'

SPOOKY RESEARCH .,l STIRS UP SALOME
The GobIins Grow too Familiar and
 They Will Hereafter Be Avoided.

Salome has been experimenting with "Spooks" and "Hants'' and other goblin geezers of the ghost regions, from which no traveller returns, but whence come tis said, mysterious and sundry knockings. spirit whispers and diverse kinds of scrawling ron slates. At least that is the tale borne to the city by Dick Hall who will vouch safe it's truth for he was one of the first Salome explorers in to the psychic world. Everybody in Salome has been reading Everybody's magazine and all became deeply in terested in the series of articles which have been appearing over the signatures of such well known au- thors as Ham Garland and Doc. Crooks the scientist and others re- garding their investigations into spiritualism and all the alliedisms, giving proofs purporting to be the personal and related experiences of many who are believers in spooks and their coterie of pals and sidekickers.
 The Salome people became very much wrought up over these tales and after giving thoughtful study to the questions, determined to try a few turns among themselves and "see if anything would happen" Sitting in the dark in a circle with clasped hands, bated breaths and pumping pulse for some hours at a stretch, put the party in the right frame of mind to receive the mes sages as they came, hot off the wire less. Dick was holding the hand of his brothers best girl on one side and the mitt of another fellows on the other side, when, believe it or not, in answer to a question propOunded, the most uncanny knocking was heard on the table before them. One knock was meant in the knock CTS sign language, yes, two knocks meant the spook did not savvy, and three was 9 stentorian No.
 Dick does not attempt to explain it, and neither will any one of the party but all swear on a stack of mining prospectuses, that they were holding hands, that they had no hand in do- ing the tapping that caused the gooseflesh to prick up till you could grate a lemon on Dicks back. The party being well scared the first night >ventured to repeat the seance Ia Garland, three or four times.
 One night the sense of the ridicu- luous broke in on the solemnity of the occasion. Just as the knocking was repeated in answer to some in quiry to the spirits, Dick reached over and. surreptitiously slapped a nearby young miss. whose visage was invisible in the gloom, on the head. The effect was stunning, but what happened later was more so. With the next round of knocking Dick wet his fingers so they would be cold and clammy, and touched the lady on the bare arm. That was the gob- lin which broke up the meeting. The spirits were getting too blamed fami- lar on short acquaintance and the young lady with a shriek went straight up toward the ceiling.
 But that did not end the interest of Salome people in the study of

pschycological research and another session was planned. Some of the party had gone so far along in the development stage. that they declared they could see thd lights floating round in the blackness before them, just as Everybodys had said they would. Dick declares that one day while he was talking to a friend in his room, he casually remarked, "I wonder if there will be anything happen tonight?" There was d spooky response, three raps on the wall just back of his head, and both looked at each other and blurt- ed out at the same instant, whats that, did you do it?' Events of this nature which happened too often, sort of dampened the ardOr of the re- searchers at Salome and at last they threw up the whole business, bidding the spirits depart in peace and to al low the inhabitants to pursue the even tenor of their ways after gold ore and 75 per cent copper. It was enough to have those spooks invad- ing their quiet night time social en- joyments without becoming so gar rulous and communicative at every jump in the road. The moral of this tale says Dick is that it is well for even spirits to exercise restraint lest they be cut off altogether from earthly conversation. Still Dick does not venture to explain their actions. Its mighty queer in someways, some people believe in them, some get rat ty about them and more let the species strictly alone.
