REPTILES BATTLE IN BOAT
Held the Crew at Bay, but Finally
Are Crushed 20 Death by
Engine.

Radby. Pa-Henry Williamson and
George Marker, owners OF a 16-foot
launch. had a thrilling experience on
Darby creek at the moment a thun-
der storm broke in all its fury. when
two four-fOot water snakes crawled
into the craft over the prov and be
gan a battle royal within few inches
OF the motor The contest OF the
snakes was 30 fierce that Williamson
and Marker were compelled 10 crowd
back as far in the stern OF the boat
as possible To make matters worse
they were not able 10 reach the motor
TO check it's sp~sd. but were com
PEELED TO remain in the stern, steering
their craft during the storm. There
vas no boat hook aft by which they
could give battle to the two fighting
reptiles and for over FIVE minutes they
were compelled 10 watch the furious
vrithing and lashing Of the reptiles.
Finally they got too near the motor
and the next moment both reptiles
we're crushed in the rapidly revolving
wheel.
II Is supposed that one OF the rep
tiles was in pursuit. Of the other and
/ that the one pursued sought refuge
in the launch, where IL was immedi.
stely followed by the other one.

SURPRISED HIM
Doctors Test - Food.

Il naturally watch the effect Of diff.
ferent foods on patients. My own lit.
tie son, lad Of four, had been i'll
with pneumonia and during his conva.
lescence did not seem to care for any
kind Of food.
Il knew something OF Grape-Nuts
and its rather fascinating flavor. and
particularly OF its nourishing and
nerve-building powers, so l started the
boy on Grape-Nuts and found from
the first dish that he liked IT,
His mother gave il 10 him steadily
and he began TO impr )ve at once. In
less than a month he had gained
about eight pounds and soon became
so we'll and strong We had no further
anxiety about him
AN old patient OF mine, 70 years
old, came down with serious stomach
trouble and before / was called had
got so weak he could eat almost moth.
ing, and was in a serious condition.
He had tried almost every kind OF
food for the sick without avail
Il Immediately put him on Grape,
Nuts with good, rich milk and just q
little pinch of sugar. He exclaimed
when I came next day Why doctor !
never ate anything so good or that
made me feel so much stronger
Il am pleased TO say that he got
well on Grape-Nuts. but he had tc
stick to IL for two or three weeks
then he began to branch out a little
with rice or an egg or two. He got
entirely well in spite OF his almost
hopeless condition. He gained 9:
pounds in two months which at hi.
age is remarkable.
