Down at Hot Springs Ark, the visitors
have all sorts of complaints, but it is a sub.
ject of remark that the great majority of
them have some trouble with stomach and
bowels. This may be partly attributed to the
heavy medicines.
Naturally, under the conditions, the ques-
ton of food is very prominent.
young man states that he had suffered
for nine years from stomach and bowel trou-
ble had two operations which did not cure,
and was at last threatened with appendicitis.
He went to Hot Springs for rheumatism
and his stomach trouble got worse. One
day at breakfast the waiter, knowing his
condition, suggested he try Grape-Nuts and
cream, which he did, and found the food
agreed with him perfectly.
After the second day he began to sleep
peacefully at night, different than he had for
years The perfect digestion of the food qui-
eted his nervous system and made sleep
possible.
He says "The next morning was aston

had disappeared. ! could not believe it
true after suffering for SO many years; then
I took more interest in the food, read the lit

So Anna always made Jimmy Burns
take her by Maggies house every Sat
urday night so that her friend could
go to the dance with them.
The Give and Take Athletic associa-
tion lived up to its name. The hall
of the association in Orchard street
was fitted out with muscle making III
ventions. With the fibers thus build
ed up, the members were wont to en-
gage the police and rival social and
athletic organizations in joyous com
bat. Between these more serious Oc-
cupafions the Saturday night hops
with the paper box factory girls came
as n refining influence and as an ctIi-
cieHt screen, for sometimes the tip
went around, and if you were among
the elect that tiptocd up the dark back
stairway you might see as neat and
satisfying little welterweight affair
to finish as ever happened inside the
ropes. ,.
On Saturdays Rhinegold's paper box
factory closed at 3 D. IN. On one
such afternoon Anna and Maggie
walked homeward together. At Mag
gie's door Anna said, as usual, BE
ready ut sharp, Mag, and Jimmy

But what was this? Instead of
the customary humble and grateful
thanks from the noncscorted one there
were to be perceived high poised
