A Boston woman who IS a fond
mother writes an amusing article
about her experience feeding her
boys.
Among other things she says:
Three chubby, rosy-cheeked boys,
Bob, Jack and Dick, aged 6, and
years respectively, are three of our
reasons for using and recommending
the food, Grape-Nuts, for these
Youngsters have been fed on Grape
Nuts since Infancy, and often be-
tween meals when other children
would have been given candy.
Il gave package Of Grape-Nuts to
a neighbor whose 3year-old child
was a weakened little thing, i'll half
the time. The little tot ate the
Grape-Nuts and cream greedily, and
the mother continued the good work,
and it was not long before a truly
wonderful change manifested itself
in the child's face and body. The re-
sults were remarkable, even for
Grape-Nuts.

Many mothers instead of Destroy
ing the children's stomachs with can
DIV and cake give the youngsters
handful of Grape-Nuts when they are
begging for something in the way OF
sweets. The result is soon shown in
greatly increased health, strength
and mental activity.

NO MEMOIRS OF EUGENE.

General regret is felt in France at
the announcement by her secretary
that the ex-Empress Eugene has not
written her memoirs, and does not in
tend to do so. She passed through
Paris recently, spending day in Wis
iting the Chateau Malmaison and ex-
aiming the collection of objects asso-
ciated with the Empress Josephine.
Eugenie's memoirs would be doubly
interesting in connection with Emile
Olivier's "reminiscences Of the causes
and history of the war Of 1870, with
which the ex-empress is credited with
having so much to do.-Argonaut.

She Never Came Back.

Recently a middle-aged woman,
apparently from the country, went
into a grocer's shop in Berlin. On
her back she carried a large basket,
in which was pot, with lid. She
lifted her basket from her shoulders,
made numerous purchases, had hei
bill made out, and then put all her
parcels carefully into the big pot, on
which she replaced the lid. She then
asked if she might leave her things
in the shop and call back fer them,
rs she had another shop, some dis
tance eff, to go IL, This request was
willingly acceded 20, and, lifting the
pot out of the basket, she carried it
carefully to corner, where i would
be out of the way, set it down, and,
slipping her basket over her shout
ders, again left the shop. Hears
went by, but the woman never re-
turned. At last, when closing time
came, a shop assistant went to move
the pot, and discovered that it had
no bottom in it.-Weekly Telegram.

OPENING For DENTISTS.

The council of the Royal College,
of Surgeons of England has taken up
the question of admitting women to
examinations as health officers. The
majority of the council favors this
concession, and it is expected it will
be made. In addition the council has
decided that women should be ad-
to examinations for licenses to prac-
tice dental surgery. There are i'm
portant restrictions upon women in
this connection, but as a result of the
councils vote they probably will be
removed. Women are gaining head

directions for successfully dyeing
feathers. He says: First wash the
feathers thoroughly, then prepare a
strong solution of dye and keep dip

Torticollis is the name given to our

persons who believe that the one es-
sential to human happiness is sport,
which includes speed. Despite its
formidable name, torticollis is no
more alarming than the ping pong
arm and the "diabolo neck" Torti-
coils means nothing more serious
than wry-neck. Many sucn necks are
seen just now, and doctors are being
kept busy in treating patients. The
aiiment chiefly is caused by riding in
open automobiles, the wind catch

rushes along. 1t has been suggested
that travellers in taxicabs may avoid
torticollis by sitting up rigidly and
watching the meter pile up the cost.

Drown sugar is still used by many
people. Those who do use it know
how difficult a thing it is to keep it
from Jumping, which it will invari-
ably do if the sugar is kept in very

keep brown sugar is in glass pre-
