ALMOST A SHADOW Gained 20 lbs. on Grape- Nuts.

There's wonderful difference be- tween food which merely tastes good and one which builds up strength and good healthy flesh.
 It makes no difference how much we eat unless we can digest It. It is not really food to the system until it Is absorbed, A Yorkstate woman says.
 T had been sufferer for ten years with stomach and liver trouble, and had got sd bad that the least bit of food such as, I then knew, would give me untold misery for hours after eat ing.
 T lost flesh until I was almost a 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 I had little faith it would do me any good.
 "But I continued to use the food and have gained twenty pounds in weight and feel like another person In every way I feel as if life had truly begun anew for me.
 T can eat anything l like now in moderation suffer no i'll effects, be on my feet from morning until night. Whereas year ago they had to send me away from home for rest while others cleaned house for me. this spring I have been able to do 1t my self alone.
 My breakfast is simply Grape-Nuts with cream and a cup of Postum, with sometimes an egg and a 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 a year ago"

GOV. WOODRUFF'S STATEMENT. Willing to Run Again If He Is

Governor Woodruff gave out a statement yesterday in response to the many requests for definition of his
 The statement follows
 "I shall do nothing to prevent any friends of mine who may be delegates to the state convention In September from voting for me If they so desire, and If enough delegates vote for me to place me in nomination for the gov ernorship I shall not decline that honor.
 "On the other hand, I am not an active candidate in the sense that I shall go out and seek delegates.
 "In my opinion 1t Is the duty 9f any citizen who is nominated for office to accept that call, unless there are very urgent personal reasons that prevent him from serving the people.

I know considerable about it's duties and It's cares, and believe doubly with regard to the office of RONeTHOT lIldl ully iliull NilO To NdiiSt upon to stand as a candidate of his party should do so. If he has held the office once and Is called upon by his i constituents to serve them again, should they consider him fitted for the office, 1t is manifestly according to my view of 1t his duty to take the nomination.

 he was taken at his own valuation His stunt was to board a railroad train just as 1t was about to pull out of the station and sitting down near some person who looked kind hearted and easy suddenly adopt a palned, worried expression and begin to feel of his pockets. Then would come the remark that he bad either lost his mileage book or had left 1t home. He had not sufficient money to buy a new one so he would, request his nelghbor the charitable looking man, to lend him the modest sum of $20 to buy new one, offering to give his watch and chain as security for the loan. Three times the game worked
 Each man that bit dug down for the 1 $20 and in the kindness of his heart refused to take the proffered security and each time the man left the train ostensbly to purchase a mileage book and always lost the train and was seen no more by his creditor.
 The game Is slick one Not until they reached New York did the three men who were stung report by tele- ! phone the trick that had been worked upon them here, and they could give no description of the man. Further more there Is no trace here of who he Is.

THE ANT EATER.
A Harmless Animal That Will Fight
Hard When at Bay.

A peculiar looking animal Is the
ant eater, which Is closely allied to
the sloth family. It's head Is drawn
out into a long, tubular muzzle, at the
end Of which Is a tiny mouth just big
enough 10 permit the exit or It's long,
wormlke tongue, which Is covered
with a sticky saliva.
This tongue is thrust among the
hosts OF ants with great rapidity, COM
Ing back laden with the tiny insects.
To obtain its prey the ant eater breaks
open the ant hills, when all the active
Inhabitants swarm TO the breach and
are instantaneously swept away by the
remorseless tongue.
The Jaws OF the ant eater are entire
ly without teeth, and the eyes and
ears are very small.
There are several species OF ant eat
er. the largest kind being about four
feet long and having a tail covered
with very long hair, forming n huge
brush. The claw on the third toe OF
each fore limb is Of great size and Is
used for breaking open ants and other
insects nests.
Generally speaking, the ant eater Is
n harmless animal, but at times when
ut bay 1t will fight with great cour'
age, sitting up on its hind legs and
hugging its foe with its powerful arms.

Little creatures may be very greedy
and yet not be able TO eat much be-
cause of their size, as was illustrated,
for instance. In the case of n batch of
about 10000 little Chinook salmon that
were hatched out at the aquarium.

inches long. would eat so much that
their little stomachs fairly stuck out,

daily only one pound Of liver and n

BIRDS TONGUES.
Why the Parrot Is Able to Initiate Hu-
man Speech.


One Of the government naturalists
at Washington has recently gathered
some fresh information concerning the
tongues Of birds.
Many people suppose that woodpeck-
ers use their sharp pointed tongues as
darts with which to trans6x their
prey. IL is true that the woodpecker,
like the humming bird, can dart out Its
tongue with astonishing rapidity and
that It's mouth Is furnished with an
elaborate mechanism for this purpose,
yet, according 10 the authority men,
toned, investigation shows that the
object OF this swift motion is only to
catch the prey, not to pierce It. For
the purpose Of holding the captured
victim the woodpecker's tongue Is fur
nlshed with a sticky secretion.
Considering It's powers Of initiating
speech, II is not surprising to learn
that the parrots tongue resembles that
of man more closely than any other
birds. 1t is not because the parrot Is
more intelligent than the other birds,
but because its tongue IL better suited
for articulation than theirs. that II Is
able TO amuse us with its mimicry.
The humming birds tongue Is In
come respects the most remarkable OF
all. 1t IL double nearly from end to
end. 80 that the little bird Is able to
grasp It's insect prey with its tongue
much as If its mouth was furnished
with n pair Of 6ngers.-Chlcago Rec
