THE DOCTORS WIFE
Agrees with Him About Food.

A trained nurse says: I'm the
practice Of my profession l have
found so many points in favor Of
Grape-Nuts food that l unhesitatingly
recommend it to all my patients.
1T is delicate and pleasing to the
palate (an essential in food for the
sick), and can be adapted to all ages,
being softened with milk or cream
for babies or the aged when deficiency
of teeth renders mastication impos-
Bible. For fever patients or those on
liquid diet l find 'Grape-Nuts and albu-
men water very n%ourishing and re-
freshing.'
This recipe is my own idea ard is
made as follows: Soak a teaspoonful
of Grape-Nuts in a glass of water for
an hour, strain and serve with the
beaten white of an egg and a spoonful
of fruit juice for flavouring. This af-
fords a great deal of nourishment that
even the weakest stomach can assim-
late without any distress.
my husband is a physician and he
uses Grape-Nuts himself and orders it
many times for his patients.
Personally l regard a dish of Grape
Nuts with fresh or stewed fruit as the
ideal breakfast for anyone-well or
sick"
In any case of stomach trouble, nerv-
ous prostration or brain flag, a 10 day
trial of Grape-Nuts will work wonders
toward nourishing and rebuilding and
In this way ending the trouble.

FAIR HAVEN MAN KILLED.
Arthur Ward Run Over by Electric
Car and Instantly Killed,

OsF tno instsntiy NtiIeo.
Arthur Ward, 40 years old, resident
of Fair Haven, was run over and in
stantly killed by a car of the trolley line
running between Casteton and Fair
Haven at about eleven o'clock Wednes-
day night
AS the cars approach Fair Haven the
powerful headlight is turned tff to pre-
vent annoyance to citizens. The acct
dent happened directly after this had
been done, and the motorman did not
see the unfortunate man until after his
car had struck him.
1t was noted earlier in the evening
that Ward was in an intoxicated con-
dition and it is probable that he lay
unconscious on the track as the car
approached. Color is given to the theory
that the man was a suicide from the
fact that he gave what money he had
to small boy few hours before the
accident.
Ward was unmarried and his only
known near relative is a brother. He
was employed on the Lloyd farm short
distance out from Fair Haven.

The Beginning of Forestry in the
United States

When did the United States begin the
peactice of foyestry Few persons can
answer that question correctly. Most
people are of the opinion that the be-
ginning of forestry in this country was
of very recent origin, and that the first
step in that direction was taken among
the mountains of the far West. Neither
fact is correct.
While Washington was serving his
first term as President of the United
States, a accommodation came to him
that the government ought to buy live
oak islands on the coast of Georgia to
make sure of supply of ship timber
for war vessles. The idea appears to
have originated with Joshua Hum
phreys, whose official title was Con
structor of the United Suites Navy,
although about the only navy then eX-
listing was made up Of six ships on pa
per. and not one stick of timber to
build them had yet been cut. The yes
sles were designed to fight the north
African pirates
Five years after the recommendation
was made Congress appropriated money
to buy live oak land Grover and
Blackboard islands ON the coast of
Georgia ,era bought for SD, 800 They
contained 1850 acres.
