THE DOCTORS WIFE
Aorees with Him About Food.

A trained nurse says: I'm the
practice of my profession l have
found so many points in favor of
Grape-Nuts food that unhesitatingly
recommend it to all my patients.
1T is delicate and pleasing to the
palate (an essential in food for the
sick), and can be adapted to all ages,
being softened with milk or cream
for babies or the aged when deficiency
of teeth renders mastication impos-
sible. For fever patients or those on
liuuid diet find 'Grape-Nuts and albu-
men water very nourishing and re-
freshing.'
This recipe is my own idea and is
made as follows: Soak teaspoonful
of Grape-Nuts in glass of water for
an hour, strain and serve with the
beaten white of an egg and spoonful
of fruit juice for tlavouring. This af-
fords a great deal of nourishment that
even the weakest stomach can assim-
ilate without any distress.
MY husband is physician and he
uses Grape-Nuts himself and orders 1t
many times for his patients.
PERSONALLY regard dish of Grape
Nuts with fresh or stewed fruit as the
ideal breakfast for anyone-well or
sick"
In any case of stomach trouble, nerv-
Gus prostration or brain fag, 10 day
trial of Grape-Nuts will work wonders
toward nourishing and rebuilding and
IN this way ending the trouble.
There's Reason" and trial proves.

A New One About NAPOLEON.

A new" story about Napoleon is
necessarily doubtful; the probability
Is that it is simply SO old that it has
been forgotten. However, here is one
that Arthur NJ. Chuquet prints in
L'Opinion as never before published
1t relatesto Napoleon and Blucher.
The emperor received the general
at the castle of Finkenstein, while he
was preparing for the siege of Danzig.
He drew him to window in an upper
story and paid him compliments on
his military gifts, and Blucher, going
away delighted, described the inter
view to his aide-de-camp. What a
chance you missed" exclaimed the
latter.

course of history

their dog tents in little hollow and started to

After Merritt's legion had thrashed and scat

savages was left in the valley. Lieut.. Weir OF the
Ordnance corps, son of the professor OF draw
ing at the Military academy, was on visit to the
west, and in the camp of the Fifth cavalry
tenderfoot named Paul Hume had wandered
out to the camp to look over the scene OF the
great fight. He knew Weir and he suggested
deer hunt.
The ordnance officer agreed to accompany him
and off they started after having received warn

eager for the chase, went farther than they
thought, and soon they changed from hunters to
hunted.

a party of three men with him and to make
reconnaissance, for 1t suddenly became the
thought of the commanding officer that there
might be savages lurking about. Hall and his
men struck into the foothills and crced the coun-

heard firing to the right and front. 1t was rap

Everybody carries bundles, and
everybody, according to West Side
philosopher who spends half his time
in deducing traits of character from
deeds performed and the manner OF
their performance, carries them in his
own way.
"a man of cautious disposition"
he said, carries a bundle clutched
tightly in his left hand. If it is too
large to be carried that way he doesn't
carry it at all, but has it sent home
in the delivery wagon. Such a man
is not only cautious, he is stubborn,
and painfully slow of speech and
thought; but he is home-abiding and
of unquestionable probity. The man
who carries bundle in his right hand
has all those qualities, but in a modi-
fed degree.
"A man who stumbles up the stairs
of the elevated station with a pack
age tucked under his arm inclining
backward and downward at a decided
angle Is good natured, but rather
pessimistic. and he might, il things
went against him too hard, take
refuge in drink. If the bundle tits
up he takes a more optimistic view
of life and likes to tell stories.

because he has the money to do IL
with.
The man who ties the bundle he
has to take home with a heavy string
and goes along swinging it by the
loop made for that purpose is the
most loyable chap of all. but he is
also the most unreliable, because he
is spendthrift. and is so prodigal OF
his affections that the many women
whom he is sure to make love to ars
apt to pass through some mighty I'M
comfortable days and nights before
they find out where they are at"

cording to variety. So rich is it in
starch that 1t yields nearly one-third
of its weight in flour, and its leaves
are prepared for the table after the
manner of spinach.
One reason why 1t is deemed desir-
able to introduce these plants is that
they flourish In land that is too wet
for ordinary crops. 1t has been as
certained that they will grow well in
this country as far north as the Caro-
linas. Not only are they useful by
reason of their edible qualities, but
their high yield OF starch affords a
prospect of great usefulness for them
as stock food or in the production of
alcohol.

nally native of the West Indies. 1t

those parts centuries before Columbus

raised on the islands of that archi-
pelago in great quantities, the produc-
ton often reaching ten tons to the

With a city. without taxes. AS others
Joined them, the settlement formed a
legal corporation-quite as the IN.
cient Romans in Britain did-for the
purpose of regulating domestic policy
and administering powers of govern
ment; and as a means of checking up
government by public opinion, the
initiative and referendum was insti-
tuted.
After fourteen years Fairhope Is

the corporation, which is the CON-
munity, and is leased to individuals
for ninety-nine years. When one has
paid into the communal treasury the

free without a Carnegie foundation;
telephone system with absolutely no
charges within the county.
All these were established out of the
surplus from ground rent, after pay

the cost of administration and I'M

You see, according to this, there
would be really nothing supernatural

seem to be that you must catch your
