After using laxative and cathartic
medicines from childhood a case of
chronic and apparently incurable con-
stipation yielded to the scientific food,
Grape-Nuts, in few days.
From early childhood I suffered
with such terrible constipation that
had to use laxatives continuously "a.

$1,000 ABOARD BATTLESHIP
Big Fighting Machine Was Sunday
Attraction in New Orleans.

New Orleans.-It was demonstrated
Sunday that the big battleship Missis-
sippi can accommodate five thousand Wis.
itoIs at once and not be overcrowded
The jackie who stood at the gang plank
all Sunday with an automatic recording
machine in his hand, registering every
soul who came on boaId, swears that
there were that many on board at once
several times during the day. When
night fell and there came a lull in tbs
huge stream of gaily dressed and sn;l.
ingly perspiring people, the register had
clicked over fifteen thousand times.
1t was a patriotic and happy throng,
too. Every man, woman and child in it
seemed to feel not only pride in the
grim machine of death and destruction,
but sense of part ownership in the
craft as well. All the gun decks and
even the turrets were open to the callers,
the only parts of the ship not available
to visitors being the state rooms and
quarters below.

Morris scheme, for the execution of which he has purchased d complete outfit of machinery, is based upon he dredger principle. He will use ahles running from anchor buoys out in the surf, about 200 yards from the waters edge to carry the sand hoisted from the seabottom ashore, where it cap be sluiced.

 One of the busiest spots in the coun- try this coming summer will bein the vicinity of 25 below, Bonanza, the point where the big ditch of the Yukon Gold company, which has been under con- struction for three years, will cross to the left limit of the creek. That locality will be to Bonanza something like Bear creek to the Klondike. After crossing the Klondike the big ditch proceeds in the most direct course possible to the head of Lovett gulch, from which lat- erals run to the hills and benches ad- iacent to the gulch. Turning up the creek, the main ditch follows the right limit of Bonanza to 25 below, where the crossing is made by means of an in- verted siphon forty inches in diameter. The siphon is carried on trestle 65 feet high, both the wagon road and the Klondike Mines railway passing be- heath it. Immense timbe from which the trestle is to be constructed are al. ready on the ground and the work of it's erection will be begun as soon as the weather has become little more settled. The siphon will be mile and a half long. On the left limit of Bo- nanza the ditch will be continued up the creek as far as Gold hill, crossing Adams creek by means of siphon and supplying all the intervening hills by means of Iaterals. A branch of the ditch will run down the creek from p as far as Boulder creek in order to cover the rich ground on King Solomon hill.
