LOST $500
Buying Medicine when Right Food
was Needed.

Money spent for ''tonics" and
"bracers" to relieve indigestion,
while the poor old stomach is loaded
with pastry and pork, is worse than
losing pocketbook containing the
money.
If the money only is lost It's bad
enough, but with lost health from
wrong eating, 1t is hard to make the
money back.
A Michigan young lady lost money
on drugs but is thankful she found
a way to get back her health by prop
err food. She writes:
II had been victim of nervous
dyspepsia for six years and spent
three hundred dollars for treatment
in the attempt to get we'll. None of
1t did me any good.
Finally l tried Grape-Nuts food,
and the results were such that, IL it
cost dollar package, would not
be without it. My trouble had been
caused by eating rich food such as
pastry and pork.
1.-THE most wonderful thing that
ever happened to me, am sure, was
the change In my condition after
began to eat Grape-Nuts. l began
to improve at once and the frs week
gained four pounds.

self in terms that are worthy of the

CONCRETE 1000 YEARS OLD.
Pantheon at Rome Constructed OF
That Material by Asrlppa.

That Material by Asrlppa.
The Pantheon at Rome was con.
structed from cement by Agrippa'
twenty-seven years b. c., nearly two
thousand years ago, says the National
Farmer and Stock Grower. This great
structure was built in a circular shape
the walls being about twenty feet In
thickness, and the roof is a heml-
spherical or dome shape, and was al
so constructed of cement concrete,
1t has q thirty-foot opening in the top,
and spanning over all is 142 feet 6
inches across. This ancient edihce
proves to the world to-day In a re-
markable way the strength, durabil-
ity and permanence of concrete
structure. It has withstood the storms
and destructive elements of nineteen
centuries, and does not show a single
sign of decay or break Of any des-
cription.
1t has lately been suggested, and is
perhaps true, that those huge stones
found In the pyramids, once thought
to be quarried from the ground by the
Egyptians, which seemed to be- impos'
sible, are moulded cement concrete.
1t appears that cement and its use
is one of the recovered arts, and that
we are just entering into an age OF
its usefulness.
The cement used by the ancients
was combination of slaked lime, vol
canic dust, sand and broken stone.
Although this formation of concrete
is not so good as the concrete made
to-day from Portland cement, it is a
fact that cannot be denied that the
work constructed by the Romans cen
turtles ago from crude concrete is to-
day in perfect state of preservation

nRalnn in MovInq Pictures.

Moving picture films are practically
epoiled long before their life of useful
ness should end because Of the rain"
which blots out the clearness. This
injury comes from the continuous
winding and rewinding Of the film
through the machine at the rate of a
foot second, forming static electricity.
The electricity attracts all the particles
of dust and dirt floating in the atmos-
phere to the films, and in pulling the
film up tight these particles scratch,
hence the rain. Popular Mechanics.

an intention on the part of the entry. man when he makes his entry to re. claim.
 with reference to this argument, it is sufficient to say that the statute in question is not of doubtful meaning, but is plain and unequivocal Hence there is no room for it's construction. The rule on this subject has been clearly stated by the Circuit Court of Appeal, when it says: This portion of our labors. however, has been fruit less chiefly for the reason that the language of the act of 1898 appears LOO plain for exegesis or interpreta- t.ion. Attempted judicial construction of the uneQuivocal law of a statute or of a contract serves only to create doubt and confuse the judgment. There is no safer or better canon of interpretation than that when Ian guage is clear it must be held to mean what it plainly expresses and no room is left for construction
 Continuing his opinion, Judge We'll born adds: "The question, therefore, whether or not entries are assignable before reclamation, is immaterial in this hearing. It is impossible, in the face of the provisions of the Desert Land Act, which positively prescribes as the first step in the proceeding, the declaration of the entryman that he intends to reclaim, to hold that if a person knowingly makes such declara- tion with intent to assign that he is not guilty of fraud
