cripple RIdes Bicycle.

George Anstey. aged IL, cripple,
Of Leicester, England. is one Of the
most remarkable cyclists in the coun-
try. Both his legs are withered and
useless, but the Leicester Cripples'
Guild has provided him with two
wheeled pedalless machine, with a
padded tube covering the axle bar.
Across this he lies face foremost, and
with wooden clogs strapped to his
hands he propels himself along the
streets and roads in a marvelously
rapid manner. He has complete con-
troll of the machine, his hands acting
as pedals, steering gear, and brake
combined.

Iarnesf Of Whales.

The largest whale of its type OF
which there is scientific record was
captured recently of Port Arthur,
Tex. He measured sixty-three feet
In length, and was estimated to be
about three hundred years old. Cap
tain Cob Plummer, mate Of a United
States pilot boat, sighted the monster
in the shoals OF the jetties, and the
crew of his vessel captured the man.
NAL The huge body was towed ashore,
exhibited and much photographed be-

Plain common sense shows the better way
is to stop food that evidently has not been
digested.
Then, when food is required. use easily
digested food Grape-Nuts or any other 1t
you know it to be predigested (partly digested
before taking).
We brought to Court analytical chemists
from New York, Chicago and Mishawaka, Ind,
who swore to the analysis of GrapeNuts and
that part of the starchy part Of the wheat and
barley had been transformed into sugar, the
kind of sugar produced in the human body by
digesting starch (the large part of food).
Some of the State chemists brought on by
the weekly" said Grape-Nuts could not be
called a "predigested" food because not all of
it was digested outside the body.
The other chemists said any food which had
been partly or half digested outside the body
was commonly known as "predigested."
Splitting hairs about the meaning of word.
1t is sufficient that If only one-half Of the
food is "predigested," 1t is easier on weakened
stomach and bowels than food in which no
part Is predigested.
To show the facts we introduce DR.. Thos.
Darlington. former chief of the N. Y. Board
of Health. DR.. Ralph w. Webster. chief Of the
Chicago Laboratories, and DR.. B. Sachs, N. Y.
II we were little severe in our denuncia-
ton of a writer, self-confessed ignorant about

public will excuse us, in view Of the fact that
our head, Mr.. c. w. Post. has made lifetime
study Of food, food digestion and effects, and
the conclusions are Endorsed by many Of the
best medical authorities Of the day.

Rat Bounty ExcItes Merriment.
Seattle, fearing the Introduction Of
bubonic plague by rats. has offered a
bounty of ten cents a rat. This moves
Tacoma, safe from infection from the
sea, to raucous laughter, and the Led
ger says that the bounty. though not
intended for rodents of Tacoma,
Everett, Bellingham and other popu-
lous and busy centers, has been flnd-
ing its way into the pockets Of non
residents of Seattle for nonresident
rats. But the joke would be on us If

A disagreement about advertising arose
with weekly" Journal.
Following it, an attack on us appeared In
their editorial columns; sneering at the claims
we made particularly regarding Appendicitis.
We replied through the regular papers and
the weekly" thought we hit back rather too
hard and thereupon sued for libel.
The advertisement the weekly" attacked
us about claimed that in many cases of appen-
dicitis an operation could be avoided by dis
continuing indigestible food, washing out the
bowels and taking predigested food Grape
Nuts.
Observe we said MANY cases not all.
Wouldn't that knowledge be a comfort to
those who fear q surgeons knife as they fear
death?
The weekly" writer said that was lie.
We replied that he was ignorant of the facts.
He was put on the stand and compelled to
admit he was not DR.. and had no medical
knowledge of appendicitis and never investi-
gated to find out If the testimonial letters to
our Co. were genuine.
A famous surgeon testified that when an
operation was required Grape-Nuts would not
obviate it. True.
We never claimed that when an operation
was required Grape-Nuts would prevent 1t.
The surgeon testified bacteria [germs1 help
ed to bring on an attack and bacteria was
grown by undigested food frequently.
We claimed and proved by other famous
experts that undigested food was largely
responsible for appendicitis.
We showed by expert testimony that many
cases are healed without knife. but by stop
ping the use of food which did not digest and
when food was required again 1t was helpful
to use q predigested food which did not over
tax the weakened organs of digestion.

one Of the settees. His face was up
turned to the sun. His hat, which he
had evidently placed over his eyes to
protect them from the glare, had fallen
on and rolled away in the dust. Now
and then a passer looked at him, some
curiously, some with amusement,
some with scorn, some with indiffer-
ence. Let him Sleep" they seemed

Some seats distant sat another man
OF the same stamp. His own ragged
feet were stuck out In front of him,
and he contemplated them steadily, as
II he wondered little at the wreck
OF his own life to which they had con-
Quoted him. His hands were deep
IN his pockets. and his battered hat
inclined well over his nose to pro-
tect his eyes from the sunshine. Pres
emily he grew weary of sitting, and
rose unsteadily, as If wondering where
to sit next. Then he advanced along
the path toward the sleeper.
The hat lying in the dust caught
his attention. He stopped and looked
at it, and touched 1t SYSTEMATICALLY

sleeper.
He seemed neither amused, nor
.scornful, nor curious. He picked UP
the battered hat carefully and busted
1t with the sleeve Of his coat Then he

PENSION RAISE
rs EXPECTED
New Bill Before Congress Will Likely
Pass at This Session, Says
Congressman Kennedy.

w. H. VanFleet is in receipt of a
letter from Congressman Charles a.
Kennedy, enclosing a copy of the
new bill for old soldiers under the
age act. which Mr.. Kennedy says has
been favorably reported by the COM
mittee on pensions and he expects it
to become a law at the present session
of congress.
The bill provides for an increase in
the pensions of old soldiers who have
reached the age OF So years, to Si5
per month from the present rate of
S12 and other increases as follows:
Age SIS years from s12 to $40.
Age 10 years from SIS to s25.
Age Is years, from $40 to s36.
If the bill passes and becomes a
law, 1t will be good Christmas news
to the pensioners. Those who are 70
years of age and who are now receiv-
ing SIS per month, will then receive
s25, and others will receive increases
according to their age as shown in
the table above.

The experts are now dealing in an
incredulous spirit with the signatures
supposed to be Shakespeare's. Sir E..
Durning-Lawrence disputes the gen.
uineness of all FIVE. What he has to
say on the occurrences of the name
in the will is curious. He finds the
three very dissimilar The "W's" are
all three differently shaped; the ''Ss"

also; the III" in one case begins at the
top and in the other at the bottom,
which is also the case with the fol-

name to his last testament to play
tricks with the first letter of his
Christian name And his contention
is that the clerk who drafted the will
wrote the names and varied the forms
of the letters to indicate they were
not autographs. The argument seems
not unreasonable, for it more likely
that a clerk writing another mans
name should vary In the writing of it
than one should who was writing his

MEAN TRICK ON OPPONENT
How Western Lawyer Won Case

hours later, pronounced, sternly:
