SENSE ABOUT FOOD Facts About Food Worth Knowing.

It is a serious question sometimes to know just what to eat when a per sons stomach is out of order and most foods cause trouble.
 Grape-Nuts food can be taken at any time with the certainty that it will digest. Actual experience of people is valuable to anyone interested in foods.
 A Terre Haute woman writes: q had suffered with indigestion for about four years, ever since an attack of ty- phoid fever, and at times could eat nothing but the very lightest food, and then suffer such agony with my stomach I would wish 1 never had to eat anything.
 T was urged to try Grape-Nuts and since using it I do not have to starve myself any more, but l can eat it at any time and feel nourished and satis- fled. dyspepsia is thing of the past, and 1 am now strong and well.
 My husband also had an experience with Grape-Nuts. He was very weak and sickly in the spring. Could not attend to his work. He was under the doctors care but medicine did not seem to do him any good until he be- gan to leave of ordinary food and use Grape Nuts. It was positively surpris- ing to see the change in him. He grew better right off, and naturally he had none but words of praise for Grape Nuts
 Our boy thinks he cannot eat a meal without Grape-Nuts, and he learns so fast at school that his teach. CT and other scholars comment on it. I am satisfied that 1t is because of the great nourishing. elements in Grape-Nuts."
 "There's a Reason"
 It contains the phosphate of potash from wheat and barley which combine with albumen to make the gray mat ter to daily refill the brain and nerve centers.
 It is pity that people do not know what to feed their children. There are many mothers who give their young sters almost any kind of food and when they become sick begin to pour the medicine down them. The real way is to stick to proper food and be healthy and get along without med. icine and expense.

EGIInn " -

The most interesting announce. ment ever made in connection with the automobile industry was un- doubtedly that made a month or two ago to the effect that the new models of the White Steam Cars could be run on kerosene, or coal oil, instead of gasoline. Everyone at once recog- nized that the use of the new fuel would add materially to the advan- tages which the White already pos sessed over other types of cars. There were some people, however, who were sceptieal as to whether or not the new fuel could be used with complete success. and. therefore. the makers of the White Car, the White Company, of Cleveland, Ohio. deter mined to make a public demenstra- ton of the new fuel in the 1909 Gild. den Tour.
 From the standpoint Of the public. no test more satisfactory could have been selected. First of all. the dis tanee covered on the Glidden Tour. from Detroit to Denver and thence to Kansas City. was 2650 miles. This was certainly more than sufficient to bring out any weaknesses. if such had existed Still more important was the fact that the ear was at all times while on the road under the supervi- sion of observers named by those who entered other contesting cars. Therefore, it would have been impos- sible for the driver of the White to have even frightened bolt without the fact being noted and a penalty in. ficted. At night the cars were guarded by Pinkerton detectives and could not be approached by any one

EnOuQh Till Eternity.

The biggest marble quarry in opera ton in the world lies almost within stones throw of the heart of West Rutland, Vt. Around its mouth is a stock of 12,000 pieces of finished mar ble. There is a great gap in the hill side. The marble crops out as bare of soil or vegetation as a billiard ball
 You can walk over that hill and never step on anything but marble, and aft CT two score years of blasting and drilling they don't know how deep hedeposit lies. ltseems there's enough marble in that one hill for an eternity.

The complete success of the new fuel while on the 2650mile public test and the advantages gained through it's use were well described in the following dispatch which the correspondent of the New York Sun sent to his paper at the conclusion of the tour
 "A feature of the tour which was watched with special interest was that the White Steamer used kero. sene, or coal oil as fuel instead of gasoline. The new fuel worked splendidly throughout the 2650.mile journey, and all claims made in it's behalf were fully proven. First of all, as regards eheapness. the White driver secured kerosene all along the route from 6 cents to 10 cents cheap CT per gallon than was paid for gaso- line. Secondly, the new fuel was handled without any precautions, and 1t was not unusual to see kerosene being poured into the fuel tank while the crew of the car and an interested crowd stood by with lighted cigars and cigarettes. At the finish of the tour, the White was the only car per, mitted by the authorities to enter Convention Hall. where the technical examination took place, without draining it's fuel tank. Thirdly, the new fuel proved to be absolutely without smoke or smell. Fourthly, kerosene could be purchased at what eyer part of the route was most con- venient, and not once during the trip through the ten States of the Middle West was there found grocery store where kerosene was not readily and cheaply obtainable Finally, the
The Forrest City times., 1909-09-10

amount Of fuel used on the trfn showed that kerosene is at least fifteen per cent. more efficient. gallon for gallon. than gasoline. The car in other respects made a most creditablo showing. and there was the usual riv. airy among the observers to be as- signed to the White so that they could ride with the maximum of com. fort. The only adjustments or TO. pairs charged against the car durinR the long trip were tightening a lubri. cator pipe and wiring a damaged mud guard. These penalties were not in. fiicted until more than 2000 miles had been completed with an absolute ly perfect score"
 particularly interesting feature of the new White Steamer is that either kerosene or gasoline may be used as fuel The necessary adjust ments so that the fuel may be changed From kerosene to gasoline, or vice versa, may be made in couple of minutes; but so completely successful has kerosene proved to be, that 1t Is not believed that any purchasers will care to use gasoline.
 The White Company report that the demand for their new steam cars both the $2000model and tho 00model-exceed their most san- guine expectations. It is evident that the combination of steam-the pow. CT which everyone understands and has confidence in with kerosene the fuel which everyone has on hand and can handle without any danger is thoroughly appreciated by np-todate purchasers of automo. piles.

And a re cent communication to the Comptes Rendus of the Biological society of Paris by M Bruyant, shows that many mosquitoes carry about mites in the larval stage. Those described belong to four different genera They prob ably feed on the integumentary structures of the mosquitoes.
