Gained 20 lbs. ON Grape-Nuts.
There's a wonderful difference be-
tween food which merely tastes good
and one which builds up strength and
good healthy flesh
1t makes no difference how much we
eat unless we can digest 1t. 1t is not
really food to the system until 1t is
absorbed. A Yorkstate woman says:
Il had been a sufferer for ten years
with stomach and liver trouble. and
had got so bad that the least bit OF
food such as then knew, would give
me untold misery for hours after eat

Il lost flesh until was almost a
shadow OF my original self and my
friends were quite alarmed about me.

Postum, then began to use Grape-Nuts,

me any good.

alone.
"My breakfast is simply Grape Nuts
with cream and a cup Of Postum. with
sometimes an egg and a piece OF toast,

1t is sometimes desirable to bud or

done in late August, September and

trees is very much the same as that

The work of budding can be done by

follow by selecting a place where the
branch is from 3s to y inch in diane

Getting a start Win sheep.

When the farmers In the corn and
grass states reach the point where they
have their fields all fenced hog tight.
they should not delay for any consider
able length of time getting a start in
sheep, says Wallace's Farmer. 1t is
not necessary to have a large flock. 1t
Is good deal better not to have it for
two or three reasons One is that sheep
do not do we'll with hogs and cattle.
This is the reason why so few sheep are
kept in the hog and cattle country.
Another reason is that those who have
had no experience in sheep would do
well to advance slowly, and, If need be
retreat rapidly. twenty-five ewes and
3 good buck are as many as the mex
perienced farmer shoVi1 start with. IL

COIN COUNTING MACHINE.
Apparatus in Bank of England Sorts
Counts and Stacks Money.

NOuutS anu oldChS hlUuCyS
A remarkable machine has been in
stalled for experimental purposes in the
counting house of the Bank of England.
1t is the invention of Swedish en-
gineer. The apparatus counts and sorts
money into paper tubes or bags at the
rate of 1900 coins an hour. In the
Bank of England fourteen expert cash
iers, working all day long, are able to
count only $4,000 in small silver coins.
The new machine will do SO in a fifth of
the time.
The apparatus is worked by electricity,
and performs its task in an interesting
way. A great bag of mixed coins is
first poured into a receptacle at the rear
of the machine, and the operator takes
his stand in front of it. The movement
of lever brings up a heaping trayful of
several hundred coins, which are tipped
over by mechanical action. They fall
upon a polished metal plate. This is
tilted downward and broken up by raised
metal rules into exactly a hundred
squares, which may be so altered in size
that any desired coin, slipping into them.
is held firmly in its place.
As the coins fall upon the plate,
mechanism hidden beneath it causes it to
move rapidly to and fro with 81 sieve like
motion. The result is that, should it be
arranged to abstract sixpences from a
heap of larger coins all the bigger coins
which fall upon the moving plate are in
the space of few seconds "sfted" off
il and return to their original receptacle,
while in each of the hundred squares lies
a sixpenny piece. BY mechanism even
more ingenious the hundred coins which
have been caught on the plate travel
through metal channels into paper tubes
sud are stacked, without the chance of
error, in twenties. forties or sixties.

RETIRED MArApoR A sAr1oR.
Left Spain When He Lost Reputation
as Bullfghter.

One man who has killed more bulls
and probably seen more gore and death
IN the bull ring than any other man
who has ever visited the Pacific coast is
Senior GaNiae. Spanish matador OF dis
tlnction, now a common sailor on board
the big koSmOs liner Alexandria, which
arrived in port today.
Gayiao was signed at one of the South
American ports, where for some time
past he had been making his living as a
longshoreman. Not pleased with the
work, he quit to come north.
The man is past the prime of life, but
still has the whipped muscle of the atb-
lete and the quick. sure movement so
necessary to the man whose occupation
is to gamble daily with death.
There is said to be a romance about
his quitting the ring in the way of love
passion the man conceived for n high
born Spanish lady who rejected his adj
vanees, He is also reported to have
quit the ring and his native land on ac-
count of losing his nerve at critical
time when killing an infatuated bull, TAX
ing to his heels in a panic, thus losing
his prestige. Gaviao maintains a silence
over his exploits. Seattle Post-Intelli-

The pulse may be felt wherever a

And they are finding out rapidly Last year more men wanted to enlist than could be ac- cepted This year about 7500 men, aged IT to 35, are wanted with trades of all kinds, and as many more without trades to be taught the duties of seamen. As for the pay, money saved is what counts, and practically all the pay in the Navy can be saved. Find out all about pay. advancement, cruises, recre- ations, sports, etc. Ask for a booklet entitled ''The Making of a Mah-o'- Warsman''-not a government report, but an attractive booklet telling every thing you want to know about enlist ment.
