CONGENlAL WORK
And Strength to Perform 1t.

A person in good health is likely
to have a genial disposition, ambition,
and enjoy work.
On the other hand, if the digestive
organs have been upset by wrong
food, work becomes drudgery.
Until recently" writes Washing
ton girl, Il was a railroad stenog-
rapher, which means full work every
day.
Like many other girls alone in a
large city, lived at a boarding house.
For breakfast it was mush, greasy
meat, soggy cakes, black coffee, etc.
after a few months of this diet |
used to feel sleepy and heavy in the
mornings. My work seemed a ter
rible effort, and thought the work was
to blame-too arduous.
cat home l had heard my father
speak of a young fellow who went
long distances in the cold on Grape
Nuts and cream and nothing more for
breakfast.
Il concluded if it would tide him
over mornings heavy work, it might
help me, so on my way home one
night I bought a package and next
morning I had Grape-Nuts and milk
for breakfast.
II stuck to Grape-Nuts, and in less
than two weeks I noticed improve
ment. / can't just tell how well I
felt, but I remember I used to walk
the II blocks to business and knew
how good it was simply to live.
Gas to my work-well, did you ever
feel the delight of having congenial
work and the strength to perform it?
That's how l felt. I truly believe
there's life and vigor in every grain of
Grape-Nuts.'

BABY HORRIBLY BURNED
BY Boiling Grease-skin All Came OFF
One Side of Face and Head
Thought Her Disfigured for Life.
Used Cuticura: No Scar Left.

"My baby was sitting beside the
fender and we were preparing the
breakfast when the frying-pan full OF
boiling grease was upset and it went all
over one side of her face and head.
Some one wiped the scald with a
towel, pulling the entire skin off. We
took her to a doctor. He tended her
a week and gave me some stuff to put
on. But it all festered and thought
the baby was disfgured for life. I
used about three boxes of Cuticura
Ointment and it was wonderful how
1t healed. In about five weeks it was
better and there wasn't mark to tell
where the scald had been. Her skin
is just like velvet. Mrs. Hare, 1,

An Economical Beacon.

On a sunken reef $50 feet distant
from Stornoway lighthouse is a re-
markable beacon which warns marin
ers with the help of a light which is
only apparent.
The beacon is a cone of cast iron
plates surmounted with a lantern
containing a glass prism. The prism
derives its light from refracting the
rays emitted from the lighthouse, and
the optical delusion is marvellous.
Mariners naturally suppose that
there is lighted lamp on the beacon
itself, and many of them will not be-
lieve otherwise. But the object of
the beacon is attained when the navi-
gator sees the reflected light, which
indicates the perilous rock below.
This beacon has been in use more
than half a century and since it was
fixed in position others have been
placed in other neighborhoods to
make clear points of danger.

Bad Eggs in Philadelphia.

1t would not seem that a law
against the sale of rotten eggs would
be necessary in these days, but Penn
sylvania seems to think one expedi-
ent. 1t appears that in Philadelphia
there is a large trade in "rots' and
"spots" spoiled, cracked and dirty
eggs-and a bill has been offered in
the Pennsylvania legislature to make
their sale and use a crime. RIOTS"
and spots are bought by whole
salers, who sell them to bakers at
about 6 cents a dozen. With this fact
known the housewife who gets pound
cake for 10 and II cents a pound
may understand how the baker can
make it so much more cheaply than
she can.

Wisconsin is to be one of the first
states to have a town named after
William H. Taft. the president-elect.
Sawyer county takes the lead. A bill

and creates the new town of Taft. was
favorably acted upon by the assembly
committee on towns and counties, OF

The town of Roosevelt is, of course, of
recent creation, it having come into
existence during the first enthusiasm
over the president when he took the
chair vacated through the death of

both feet and one hand had been crush
