toppled into the sea from time TO time
with reverberations like thunder.
Water splashed fifty feet high at each
fall and the sight was fascinating.
To-day the glacier assumes differ
emit aspect. Erosion has worked out
a new bay, which WILSON be charted,
and the glacier itself seems to have
two parts, the live part, from which
icebergs break and fall with tremen-
dous noise, and dead arm, with land
forming between 1t and the sea.
This change is due to hill which
projected through the top of the ice
when Professor Muir was-there. Now
that hilltop is large mountain d.
viding the ice fields. The ice has also
receded four miles in the nine years.
The captain of the first steamboat
piloted in front of this glacier in re-
cent years was presented with sill
yer service marked in large letters
Muir Glacier" This is without
doubt the most remarkable known
glacier on this continent. It has 354
square miles of ice.

Decline Of Track Gambling.

Only few years since race track
gambling was widely prevalent. Chi
cago was among the communities
which took the lead in suppressing
this evil. Somewhat over year ago
Governor Hughes inaugurated
movement against race track gam
bling in New York State. Success
attended his efforts to secure the
passage of law which has dealt a
blow to this practice. Since that
time Louisiana, Texas, California and
Washington have enacted laws hav-
ing the same purpose in view. Last
week the Florida Legislature passed
bill designed to prohibit gambling at
race tracks. The success of the move
ment against this particularly harm
full method of spreading the gam
bling fever is gratifying sign of the
Nations moral development.-Chi-

ORIGIN
OF a Famous Human Food.

The story of great discoveries or
inventions is always of interest.
An active brain worker who found
himself hampered by lack of bodily
strength and vigor and could not
carry out the plans and enterprises
he knew how to conduct, was led to
study various foods and their effects
upon the human system. In other
words, before he could carry out his
plans he had to find a food that would
carry him along and renew his physi-
cal and mental strength.
He knew that a food which was a
brain and nerve builder (rather than
mere fat maker) was universally
needed. He knew that meat with
the average man does not accomplish
the desired results He knew that
the soft gray substance in brain and
nerve centres is made from Albumen
and Phosphate of Potash obtained
from food. The he started to solve
the problem.
Careful and extensive experiments
evolved Grape-Nuts, the now famous
1000. III contains the Drain anu nerve
building food elements in condition
for easy digestion.
The result of eating Grape-Nuts
daily is easily seen in marked stur-
diness and activity of the brain and
nervous system, making it pleasure
for one to carry on the daily duties
without fatigue or exhaustion.
Grape-Nuts food is in no sense a
stamulant. but is simply food which
renews and replaces the daily waste
of brain and nerves.
It's favour is charming, and being
fully and thoroughly cooked at the
factory it is served instantly with
cream.
The signature of the brain worker
spoken of, G. w. Post, is to be seer
on each genuine package of Grape
Nuts.
Look in pkgs. for the famous lit
tie book, THE Road to Wellville.'

MUIR GLACIER FREE OF BERcs.
Strange Changes Wrought by Earthquake
in the Famous Alaska River.

Victoria, B. ca recent remark
able phenomenon in Alaska is the
drifting away of icebergs from the
front Of Muir Glacier in Glacier Bay
SO that for the first time in nine years
this famous river of ice, the most
noted on this continent, has been Wis
tied. In 1889 a subterranean earth
quake occurred at Yakutat and ever
since the approach of this glacier has
been SO choked with ice that boats
have turned away with their passen-
gers disappointed. Now through some
peculiar drifting Of theice steamboats,

Ancient and Modern.

The difference between ancient

literature asked, "What is the mean

"Go-to?" and member Of the class

phrases, while apparently opposite,
do, in fact, substantially mean the
same thing.

board and mark the centre, then
about an inch or so from this centre
draw eccentric circles at convenient
distances apart to edge of board.
Mark as many points on each circle as
you wish to hold spools and from the

sharp points on top. Paste piece of
felt on bottom to prevent scratching

then be bored first to prevent nails
from splitting the board. A piece of

put on top If one wishes to make it
more fancy. Thus you have neat
