SURPRISED HIM.
Doctors Test of Fooa.

A doctor in Kansas experimental
with his boy in a test of food and
gives the particulars. He says:
Il naturally watch the effect of diff
ferent foods on patients. My own lit
tie son, a lad of four had been i'll
with pneumonia and during his con-
valescence did not seem to care for
any kind of food.
Il knew something OF Grape-Nuts
and its rather fascinating favour and
particularly of it's nourishing and
nervebuilding powers, so | started the
boy on Grape-Nuts and found from the
first dish that he liked it.
His mother gave it to him steadily
and he began to improve 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, rs 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 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 a
little pinch Of sugar He exclaimed
when | 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 to stick
to 1t for two or three weeks, then he
began to branch out little with rice
or an egg or two. He got entirely
we'll in spite of his almost hopeless
condition. He gained % pounds in
two months, which at his age Is re
markable.

Grape-Nuts has worked wonders"

Destruction of Bird Life in Catering to

The National Association of the Au-

wild heron. In April and May last the
customs officers at New York seized
$1,000 worth of aigrettes from the wild
heron, and in the ordinary course Of
events the aigrettes would have been Of

protested and asked for their destruction
Collector Loeb submitted the protest to
the solicitor Of the treasury, who stated
that while the tariff laws cannot be af-
fected or controlled by the protest of the
Audubon society, or by the statutes of a
state. the act of Congress allows the con
struction that plumage in question has
the same status as if the herons had
been taken and produced in New York.
Under this construction, the collector will
destroy the aigrettes.

It's a matter of general interest just
now how ones physical condition can
be got into shape to best receive the

cally is this true of the children. They
have become run down by winter of
unnatural manner of living because of
ill-considered food and much time

sunshine, it's fresh vegetables and all
else invigorating, but the children are

Many parents call in the family
physician. Many other parents take
advantage of what the physician told
them when he was first called in con
sultation. All good family physicians
say: Give the children Castoria.'
Healthy parents know this remedy OF
old, for they took 1t themselves as
children. 1t was more than thirty
years ago that Castora made place
for itself in the household. 1t bore

to clean the screen of a strainer Is

If the ground is cultivated often
enough no weeds can grow, and If the
ground for crop Is carefully pre-
pared before putting in the seed, by
deep blowing and frequent narrowing,
the cultivation required after the
plants are up need not be more than

MEASURING NAIL GROWTH.
Fastest Up to 80, Diminishing as Old
Age Approaches.

Among psychologists, as in the public
at large. there are current a number of
errors relative to the growth of the nails.
For example, it is generally thought that
the seasons influence the growth.
This subject has been studied very
closely of late. and it can be definitely
stated, says ILLUSTRATION, that the
growth of nails depends upon age. The
growth is greatest from 5 to 30 years
old then it diminishes.
This applies to the nails on the hand
But it's very different with the nail of
the big toe. The growth of this nail in
the young is only half or third of
that of the finger nails. But in old peo-
pie it is equal.
This would seem to show that the low
or limbs retain more of their vigor than
the arms.
