FEED YOU MONEY.
Feed Your Brain and It Will Feed
You Money and Fame.

Ever since boyhood I have been es-
pecially fond of meats, and / am con-
WINGED I ate too rapidly. and failed to
masticate my food properly.
The result was that I found my
self. a few years ago. afflicted with
ailments of the stomach and kidneys,
which interfered seriously with my
business.
AT last I took the advice OF friends
and began to eat Grape-Nuts instead
OF the heavy meats. etc. that had
constituted my former diet.
Il found that I was at once bene-
fitted by the change. that I was soon
relieved from the, heartburn and the
indigestion that used to follow my
meals. that the pains in my back had
ceased entirely.
My nerves which used to be I'M
steady. and my brain, which was slow
and lethargic from heavy diet Of
meats and greasy foods, had gradual
ly, but none the less surely, been re-
stored to normal efficiency.
Now every nerve is steady and my
brain and thinking faculties are
quicker and more acute than for years
past
After my old style breakfasts
used to suffer during the forenoon
from a feeling OF weakness which
hindered me seriously in my work.
but since have begun to use Grape

a Reason"

MELVILLE" in pkgs.
Ever read the above letter? A new
one appears from time to time. They
are genuine, true, and full Of human
interest.

FASHIONS

One of the fancies of the new season
will be all-over soutache net for yokes
and sleeves, and this will be used in
the color of the costume preferably. al
though the white yoke and sleeves will
be in good order.
A variation of the style is the new
vermicelli net which has black or COL
ored ground traced in a braid pattern
with fine white silk. Lace and pat
termed net is just now liked better than
the plain net, which has had such long
and strenuous use.
The newest and smartest gowns are
not using as many tucked net yokes as
formerly. but the tucks may have a
revival when things settle down for
spring.
Hand work is not positively necessa-
ry as a means of introducing color in a
blouse, although little hand work of
this sort is very desirable.
Very fine and dainty embroideries
of batiste. with embroidered vines or
dot patterns in color, are to be had and
can be introduced as trimming in COM
bination with a little valenciennes or
c.uny lace III blouse OF sheer white
fabric.

At this, the closing week OF the
Lepten season, many are showing a
belated spirit Of devotion that was
not SO much in evidence earlier. OF
course during Holy Week there is al
ways more rigorous attention to
matters spiritual. 1t would seem as
peculiarly appropriate that when folks
do emerge from the month or so OF
retirement, they will have the privi-
lege OF delightful feast OF song. with
the appearance of Madame Nordica,
in this city Monday evening, April 10
in the coliseum. Her name alone is
a sufficient guarantee Of the quality
of this recital. No doubt the affair
will be largely attended. A number
OF musicians from neighboring towns
and cities are expected to be in at
tendance.

joyable surprise companies of the
early spring season was given Satur-
day afternoon for Mrs. J. r. Milliken

the affair. The program which has

ably consist of nine numbers, includ-
ing violin numbers. cornet solos, piano

tractive feature will be the large
chorus which has been practicing for

The women who are busy with

night. A very pretty novelty seen at
a local shop was large hen on a flat

GTRL,s BODY FOUND.

New orleans, La, April 21.--While hunting for strayed cattle in the Red River swamps of Rapides Parish today. Charles w Atwood. planter. diseov- cred the skeleton of a young white ,wo- man.
 The clothes covering the sekeieton were blood stained and knotted rope lying near the spot was also dyed red with blood. A towel sosarranged as to show that 1t was used as a gag, was near the skull. Although the condl- .tion of the skeleton indicated that the murder was committed a month or more ago, there are still evidences of Q etruggle around the spot. Small bushes had been broken down or crushed. and the ground had been torn up, aprar- ently by the heels of shoes.
 The point where the skeleton was found is only about 100 yards from the track of e railroad which passes through the swamp, and is three miles from Alexandria. the seat of Rapides Partkh.
 An examina4ion by the coroner led to the belief that the aiksietOn is that 0f 8 white girl, about 16 or IT years old.
 No one has been reported missing in Rapides Parish who would answer the description. The matter is now in the hands of the sheriff.

GEORGIA MAN FINED
 $500 FOR AN ASSAULT

Gadsden. Apfii 21.--(Special. )--Cleve- land Sluder of Social Circle, Ga, yes- terday pleaded guilty to assault upon Mrs. Ada walker, and was given Q stern lecture and $500 fine by Judge Disque. presiding in the City Court.
 The scene in the court room was mast affecting before the judge pronounced sentence. SIuder's mother and wife. with streaming eyes. begged the court not, to give the hoy a jail sentence. and told of how irreproachable his past life had been. A letter was read from Sluder's former pastor. pleading for mercy for him. and tie. attorneys on both sides asked for ieHieney,, But for these influences there is no doubt that sluder would have served 3 term of imprisonment.
 C The crime with which he was charg- ed was committed at Keener. this county. last August. Sluder was trav- cling for an AtIanta pump concern, and while at Keener became intoxicated. In this condition he made improper pro- posals to Mrs. Walker, wife of a we'll known citizen, and was almost lynched before he could be brought to Gadsden and placed in 1afl.
 Sluder declares that this, was the only time in his life that he was ever drunk and promises that 1t will be the last.

SHORT IN ACCOUNTS
SALESMAN ARRESTED ON EMBEz
 zLEMENT CHARGE.
Wanted Whfskey and Sale of Firn'a Goods for Discount Prices Seemed Only Way to Get
 Money.

: Tip Harrison, a young white man. was arrested and locked up in the C6unty jail yesterday upon the charge of embezzlement. The warrant for Harrison's arrest was sworn out by the Gilbert Supply Company, the paper showing that Harrison took $24.50 or the firms collections.
 Harrison. 1t is said, admits the en,- bezzlement of the money, giving as his excuse that he was drunk at the time. and had little Idea of what he was do- Ing He is said to have stated that he wanted a drink. and 6 sale of the goods nut in his charge was the only way he could secure the necessary cash.
 It is stated that Harrison applied to the Gilbert Supply Company for a job some weeks ago. and as he appeared to be fin want. was put out to sell pie lures. Later rugs and small articles were given him to sell
 Last week he did not report his sales to the offlce. and an employe or the firm was put on his track. Harrison, 1t is said, was found in his boarding house in a drunken condition. and when accused of spending the funds Of his firm, readily admitted the fact. Rugs that should bring $3.50 Harrison sold for s1.25 cash. Pictures were sold for cash at similar discounts.
 While Harrison is lodged in the county jail upon the charge, 1t Is the intention of the Gilbert Supply Com pany to give him an opportunity to make good his shortage. Ills prelim- mary hearing before a Justice of the Peace has therefore not been set.

Unkn0Wn Man Is Identified In
 Chicago. April 2i.--Mystery sur- Founding the ideFtity of a man who, when arrested two, months ago on a charge of forgery. gave his name as John Klein. was solved sin Judge oiif- ford's court today when It was learned that the prisoner was Edward H. Rentsch, formerly well-known and wealthy sportsman of Indianapolis.
 Rentsch several years ago suffered heavy financial loss In building an athletic arena in Indianapolis, in which he hoped to hold prize lights and athletic contests. His enterprise was stopped by the then Mayor and some time later Rentsch was committed to the Madison County asylum for the insane. his mind having broken under his money losses.
 Last February he escaped from the asylum and came to Chicago. He was arrested here charged with forging a mortgage on which he secured $i,000. Those who came in contact with him here never suspected that he was a victim of paresis, which is alleged to be his malady.
 The case was called in Judge Cliff lords court room today. but the charge against him was dismissed when Deputy Sherifr Nelson of Indianapolis appeared with evidence of the prison er's identity. He wtlf be returned to the asylum.
