MAKING SUNSHINE
Il Is Often Found in Pure Food.

The improper selection of food
drives many healthy person into the
depths of despairing illness. Indeed,
much sickness comes from wrong food
and just so surely as that is the case
right food will make the sun shine
once more.
An old veteran of Newburyport,
Mass, says: TN October, was taken
sick and went to bed, losing AZ pounds
in about 60 days. I had doctor after
doctor, food hurt me and I had to live
almost entirely on magnesia and soda.
All solid food distressed me SO that
water would run out of my mouth in
little streams.
'T had terrible night sweats, and my
doctor finally said had consumption
and must die. My good wife gave up
all hope. We were at Old Orchard,
Me-, at that time and my wife saw
Grape-Nuts in grocery there. She
bought some and persuaded me to
try it.
81 had no faith in it, but took 1t to
please her. To my surprise it did not
distress me as all other food had done
and before I had taken the fifth pack
age was well on the mend. The pains
left my head, my mind became clearer
and I gained weight rapidly.
II went back to my work again and
now after six weeks use of the food
I am better and stronger than ever be-
fore in my life. Grape-Nuts surely
saved my life and made me a strong
hearty man, Is pounds heavier than
before I was taken i'll.
Both my good wife and I are will
ing to make affidavit to the truth Of

Fatalities.

Presque Isle, Me-, June 8.-The ep.
tire northeasterly section of this vii
lage, comprising the district where
were situated the most pretentious
residences, was swept by fire last
night, a high wind carrying flames
and embers from street to street
until 100 dwelling houses and the
Congregational church, the Masonic
hall and several other structures had
been reduced to ashes. The Canadian
Pacific railroad station and two large
storehouses for potatoes were burned.
The total loss is estimated at $780,

Upwards of 1000 persons are home

A high wind which prevailed all
day is responsible largely for the ex-
tent of the disaster. 1t carried blaz-
ing embers distance of quarter of
a mile in many cases, and new fires
started after the first was well under
way.
Several persons were reported in
jured, but there were no fatalities.
The burned section covers an area
of half square mile, including North
Main street, Allan street, Third
street, Blake street and South street
to Main street.
The financial loss may exceed $780,

reasonable estimate. The insurance

HARD QUESTION TO ANSWER
Simple Interrogation That Put Aecus.
Ing Professor In Rather
Tight Place.

The following story which leaked
out of Yale faculty meeting is also
typical of Waterloo" Wheeler. The
case OF fast student was before the
faculty. Though the Yale principle is
to NEEDLE as little as possible with
the life and morals of the student, in
sisting merely on the rule, keep a
good scholarship stand and be regular
in attendance, still fragrant cases Of
misconduct are summarily disposed
of. The student in question had been
seen in the company of a woman of
rather poor reputation and there was
a question of dismissal. Lest he be
wrongfully sentenced the cautious
Prof. Ladd, the philosopher, had. in
quired, ''Was the young man positive
ly identified?" Oh, yes, the professor
knew the man well; there could be no
mistake about it. Then Prof. Wheeler
looked up quizzically, tapped his spec
tacles against the fingers of his left
hand, a characteristic gesture, and in
quired: And can the professor also
positively identify the other party ?"-

SKIN ROUGH AS BARK.
Baby Boy Had Intense itching Humor
Scratched Till Blood Ran.
Found a Cure In cuticura.

Our son, two years old, was afflicted
with rash. After he suffered with
the trouble several weeks took him
to the doctor but It got worse. The
rash ran together and made large
blisters. The little fellow didn't want
to do anything but scratch and we had
to wrap his hands up to keep him
from tearing the flesh open till the
blood would run. The itching was in
tense. The skin on his back became
hard and rough like the bark of a
tree. He suffered intensely for about
three months. But I found a remedy
in Cuticura Soap and Cuticura Oint-
ment. The result was almost mag
ical. That was more than two years
ago and there has not been the slight
est symptom of it since he was cured.

Farmers Want Drainage.

Thief River Falls.-A largely at
tended meeting of the settlers living
in what is known as the Mud and
Thief Lake basins in eastern Mar
shall and northwestern Beltrami
counties, was held at Grygla. Farm
ers, whose lands are at times more
or less injured by water overflow,
met to secure concerted action in
order to promote various drainage
projects. In this case the counties,
towns and even the state will CO.
operate to construct large bitches and
laterals on the plan outlined by the
United States Geological survey Of
this section, which was completed
one year ago. This will call for the
expenditure of some $250,00O, which
will be divided according to benefits.
It is the opinion of State Engineer
Ralph that these projected bitches
will drain all this great and rich Sec
ton. All the dirt removed from the
ditch will be thrown to one side and
graded for highway.

Predatory Instincts

The inherited predatory tendency OF
men to seize upon the fruits of other
peoples labor is still very strong, and
while we have nothing more to fear
from kings, we may yet have trouble
enough from commercial monopolies
and favored industries, marching to
the polls their hordes of bribed retain
ers. Well, indeed, has it been said
eternal vigilance is the price of liber-
ty. God never meant that in this fair
but treacherous world in which he has
placed us we should earn salvation
without steadfast labor.-John Fiske.
