enough, but with lost health from
wrong eating, it is hard to make the
money back.
A Mich. young lady lost money on
drugs but is thankful she found
way to get back her health by proper
food. She writes:
Il had been a victim of nervous dys-
pepsia for six years and spent three
hundred dollars for treatment in the
attempt to get well. None of it did
me any good.
Finally l tried Grapefruit food,
and the results were such that, If it
cost dollar package, would not
be without it. My trouble had been
caused by eating rich food such az
pastry and pork.
THE most wonderful thing that
ever happened to me, am sure, was
the change in my condition after I
began to eat Grape-Nuts. began to
improve at once and the first week
gained four pounds.

little girl is well up in most Of her
studies. but she has an inveterate dis
like Of geography and 1t seems impos-
sible to teach the study to her. The
other day her teacher. made impatient
by her seeming unwillingness to learn
her geography lesson, sent to Rosie's
mother note requesting her to see
that the girl studied her lesson. The
next day showed no improvement,
however. and the teacher asked Rosie
whether she had delivered the note.
Yes. ma'am," was the reply.
And did your mother read The
note. Rosie" said the teacher.
Yes. MAN.

Transcontinentat Route.

Brmingham.-The official announce
ment by the Illinois Central that this
new Birmingham division will be
opened for traffic April 10Th, calls at
tention to the completion of the last
link in the great Hartman transcen-
tinental route, for by controlling the
Union Pacific. IllinoiE Central and Cen
tral of Georgia. this system will extend
from the Pacific to the Atlantic. In
addition to supplying the last link in
this chain, the opening of the Haley
vile branch will give the Illinois Cen
tral an inlet to the great coal and iron
fields of Alabama, with their immense
annual tonnage.
The Central of Georgia terminals
here connect with these of the Illinois
Central. thus giving direct connec-
ton from Illinois Central points with
the sea at Savannah over the Central
of Georgia. Connections of the 1lli-
nois Central with the Union Pacific
thus give complete system from one
ocean to the other.
