WARNED BY THE DENTIST.
Dire Results Of Biting Thread Worth
Taking to Heart.

"Tll never be able to do much for
you" said the dentist, till you quit
biting your thread"
Dear me-" said the woman, that re-
minds me of the days when grand
mother threatened me with a whip
ping if didn't quit biting my nails"
Zone habit is just as reprehensible
as the other" said the dentist You
ought to be able to see you own teeth,
then you would realize that you de-
serve a good scolding. The edges are
as uneven as a saw. Now, il you were
a professional dressmaker, or a fac
tory hand you would know better than
to bite your thread. They seldom do
it. They have learned the art of snip
ping it off with the scissors without
loss of time, and don't have to NAL
treat their teeth. 1t is you women who
do a good deal of sewing in a non
professional capacity who think the
quickest way to break a thread is to
bite It, That may be good for the
progress OF the work, but It is bad for
the teeth.
Fortunately, you can't bite with the
whole mouthful Of teeth at the same
time, so most of them escape. Those
that really do the work are the incis-
ors on either side. They are in ter
ribly bad fix. The enamel is worn of,
the ridges and corrugations are an
eighth of an inch deep, and"

SURPRISED HIM
Doctors Test of Food.

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 conva-
lescence did not seem to care for any
kind of food.
Il knew something of Grape-Nuts
and its rather fascinating flavor, and
particularly of its nourishing and
nerye.building powers, so l 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 well and strong we had no further
anxiety about him.
An old patient of mine, 70 years
old, came down with serious stomach
trouble and before l was called had
got so weak he could eat almost moth
ing. and was in a 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 q
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
we'll on Grape-Nuts, but he had to
stick to it for two or three weeks.
then he began to branch out a little
with rice or an egg or two. He got
entirely well in spite of his almost
hopeless condition. He gained %
pounds in two months which at his
age is remarkable.

sudden cardiac disturbance in Car

beauty certainly justified 1t. The
fresh color on her cheeks and lips, tho
shining black hair that arched white

the slender, rounded figure, the small
feet and shapely hands, all combined
to produce a picture of feminine love
Illness warranted to charm any mascu-

Cavenaugh's antecedents, II they
were so inclined, thought Darlington;
here was abundant evidence of what a
certain old poet called the splendid
corpuscle of aristocracy.
Her sister went by the sonorous
name of Norah. She was II, bit of
a tomboy, but of the same build and
elegant carriage that distinguished
Kate from ordinary mortals; only
Norah's eyes were hazel-tinted and
her hair was that warm brown of the
heart of a chestnut bur. She was of
merry temperament, quick to like or
to dislike, and, like her sister, loyal
to those she loved. Both girls pos
sessed that uncommon gift in women

such good fellows.

have remarked, good-natured and ami
able, inclined toward stoutness, anC
a willing listener to all that was goinl
on. She considered it her bounde1
duty to keep informed regarding thu
doings of her intimate friends, bu

COSTLY PRIZE oFFERED.
W. K. Kellogg Of Battle Greek, Mich,
Gives q $1,000 Trophy 20 Be Com
peted for by the Farmers.

BATTLE CREEK, Mich, July 2s-For
the purpose of stimulati1lg the interest of
the farmers of the country in the inn
provement of the grade of corn and in se-
curing a greater yield, w. X. Kellogg of
this city has offered a gold and silver
annual national corn exposition to be held
at Omaha, Neb., Dec. 0 to Is OF this year.
The trophy will be known as the w. k,
Kellogg National Corn Exposition trophy,
will cost 1900, and will become the per-
sonal property of any exhibitor winning It
twice. The trophy will be in the shape
of a massive vase, and will probably be
designed and built by either Gorham or
Tiffany.
Mr.. Kellogg has just returned from Chr
cago where he held a conference with Pro-
lessor p. G.. Holden of the Iowa State Ag-
ricultural College at Ames, and Stanley
Clague, head of large Chicago advertis-
ing agency. Professor Holden is known as
the foremost authority of the country on
corn growing, and Mr.. Kellogg, who Is a
large manufacturer of food products made
from corn, is keenly interested in all move
ments tending to improve the quality of
the cereal. This year he has donated
$1,000 to be divided in several prizes
among the corn growers of Iowa, and at
Professor Holden's suggestion, he decided
to offer the Kellogg trophy to be competed
for by the corn growers of the nation.
Corn is the greatest crop of the coun-
try" said Mr.. Kellogg today, land the big
ger the yield of corn the greater the coun-
try's prosperity. Seed selection and inn
proved methods of cultivation viii not only
greatly increase the yield per acre, but will
also increase the protein in the corn and
thus enhance. its nutritious qualities. If
the yield per acre, for instance, can be in
creased five bushels in the state of Ne
braska alone, it will add s25, 600 to the
wealth of the farmers of the state. The
National Corn Exposition is doing a great
work in educating the farmers, and am
| glad TO help the work along.N
