ALMOST A SHADOW.

Gained 20 lbs. on Grape-Nuts.
There's a wonderful difference be-
tween a 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 it. 1t is not
really food to the system until it is
absorbed. A Yorkstate woman says:
81 had been 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
ing.
II lost flesh until 1 was almost
shadow of my original self and my
friends were quite alarmed about me.
First l dropped coffee and used
Postum, then began to use Grape-Nuts,
although 1 had little faith it would do
me any good.
But l continued to use the food
and have gained twenty pounds in
weight and [ feel like another person
in every way. 1 feel as if life had
truly begun anew for me.
II can eat anything l like now in
moderation, suffer no i'll effects, be on
my feet from morning until night.
Whereas a year ago they had to send
me away from home for rest while 9TH
ers cleaned house for me, this spring
1 have been able to do it myself all
alone.
my breakfast is simply Grape-Nuts
with cream and a cup of Postum, with
sometimes an egg and piece of toast,
but generally only Grape-Nuts and
Postum. And I can work until noon
and not feel as tired as one hours
work would have made me year ago."

HANDY D1edEh who can easily shake
the digger after he has taken up e
quantity of the soil and vegetable.
In construction the digger resembles
miniature wheelbarrow, the recep-
tacle forming the body, being made Of
sheet metal containing innumerable
perforatio1s. At the front or small end
Of the receptacle is a swinging door,
beneath which is a small shovel. In
operation the digger is used as shovel
in lifting the vegetable and the sur
rounding soil. The digger is then
shaken, separating the vegetable from
the soil and allowing the latter to pass
out through the perforations.

CARNEGIE BREAKS into SONG

Intellect and Meets All
Corners.

New York. April 27.--It is related some
where in the Hear Absam. among the
thousand and one tales, that the fair
schezerzade told her ferocious husband,
Schahriah, that there once was a beauti-
ful bird, maybe it was a stork. which pos
sessed in its larynx only one song.
This bird sew to the full measure of
beautiful pl.mage, and all that sort of
thing without ever delivering itself Of
this one song until one time when it
knew. that in the relation Of the story
of its life, on the trembling lips Of Sche-
ZeTZade, this song was necessary TO round
out the dramatic climax; then this Ara
bian bird sang.
To-day Andrew Carnegie sang before
the assembled Sultans Of the Vagabond
Club, at their Monday luncheon. in the
grill Of the National Arts Club. at Gram
Grey Square.
Not that there was any relation be-
tween Mr.. Carnegie and the Arabian bird
of ancient legend; far be it from this 1t
was simply that for the first time in the
memory of the oldest inhabitant OF Pitts
burg. and points south and west. Mr..
Carnegie burst into song. He crooned a
negro lullaby; simply that and nothing
more.
Mr.. Carnegie weat to the Vagabond's
Monday luncheon as the guest Of his old
friend. Jewett Wheeler, one Of the edi-
tors of Current Literature. He had never
before been in the society of such cumu-
lative force of high-browed Intellect. DR..
Epiphanius Wilson, editor of the Literary
Digest, sat very near him; then there was
Henry James Formansky. who gets out
a large part of the North American Re
view; Or. Herman Rosenthal. Of the AS
tor Library, and other prominents.
Badinage flew about the table on the
wings of light and Mr. Carnegie caught
all of the darts Of wit in his naked palm
and hurled them back unscathed.
AT last, when the jumbo squad had
been picked and its skeleton sent back to
the kitchen for articulation. there was
a subdued and strictly proper clapping
Of hands. Mr. Carnegie, looking up shy
ly, saw that all eyes were directed toward
him.
He arose in his place. He told a story
Of a negro gentleman down in South
Carolina who-but really it is the song
accompanying the story that counts.
And this was the song he sang, said
Mr. Carnegie.

macy. at which place Dr. Pritchard's pre-
scription was filed, and also a bin Of in
dictment against Dr. Pritchard.
ALI Found Not Guilty.
The case was called before Judge

tertainment of his friends.
