A Nebraska woman has outlined the
prize food in few words, and that
from personal experience. She writes:
after our long experience with
Grape-Nuts, l cannot say enough in its
favor. We have used this food al
most continually for seven years.
1--WE sometimes tried other adver-
tised breakfast foods, but We invaria-
bly, returned to GrapeNuts as the most
palatable, economical and nourishing
of all.

gan to use Postum and Grape-Nuts,
was a nervous wreck. / was SO irrita-
BILE l could not sleep nights, had no
interest in life.
After using Grape-Nuts for short
time l began to improve and all these
ailments have disappeared and now l
am well woman. My two children
have been almost raised on Grape-Nuts,
which they eat three times a day.
They are pictures of health and
have never had the least symptom of
stomach trouble, even through the
most severe siege of whooping cough
they could retain Grape-Nuts when all
else failed.
"Grape-Nuts food has saved doctor
bills, and has been, therefore, most
economical! food for us

would have called him back to life had
that been possible, for he had died Of
old age and consequent fnfirmities.
The toll and tribulations of seventy
FIVE years had battered him down, and
for a long time before his death he
merely went through the motions Of
living.
'He was an old. old man," said the
mourners. as they turned away from
the grave when the clods had been
heaped upon the coffin lid.
Ills age wasn't hurting him any,"
responded a querulous voice. 1t came
from a white haired man who stood
by the newly made grave leaning upon
a stick. The speaker was the dead

Savage Crabs.

The most savage specimen Of the
crab species is found in Japan, SEEM
ing to dream Of nothing but fighting,
to delight in nothing half so much
The minute he spies another of his
kind he scrapes his claws together in
rage, challenging him to the combat.
Not moment is wasted in prelimi-
naries, but at it they go hammer ind
tongs. 1t sounds like two rocks grind
ing against one another as their claws
rattle against the hardg shells. The
sand flies as the warriors push each
other hither and thither until at last
one of them stretches himself out in
the sun tired to death. But he does
not beg for mercy or attempt to run
away. only feebly rubbing his claws
together in defiance Of the foe. That
foe comes closer, and with his claws
trembling with joy at his victory the
conquerer catches hold Of one claw of
the vanQuished crab. twists it until It
comes off and bears away the pa!pi-
tating limb as a trophy of his prowess
Such is battle between warrior crabs

burg April &c, 1S47. He was at one
time commander in chief of the Rus

on Jan. 90. 1905. otherwise known as
''bloody Sunday" the strikers Of St.
Petersburg undertook to present to the
car petition for the redress Of their
wrongs, instead of meeting the car,
they had to deal with Grand Duke
Vladimir. The dispatches from st. Pc
tersburg at that time intimated that
he was responsible for the shooting
down Of 500 or more of the rioters.
Grand Duke Vladimir lived in almost
constant fear of assassination. and
since the events of BLOODY Sunday"
various plots against him have been
discovered
If all reports out of st. Petersburg
are not false. Vladimir never hesitated
to tell the car he lacked the backbone
necessary to a Romanoff. Indeed. II

the car favored increasing the pay Of
mail and telegraph employees who had
struck Vladimir few into frenzy of

Selling the car by the shoulder, his

eign with such violence that the czal
