CHANGE THE VIBRATION.
1t Makes for Health,

A man tried leaving off meat, pota-
toes, coffee, and etc, and adopted a
breakfast of fruit, GTape-Nuts with
cream, some crisp toast and a cup of
Postum.
His health began to improve at once
for the reason that meat eater will
reach a place once in a while where
his system seems to become clogged
and the machinery doesn't work
smoothly.
A change of this kind puts aside
food of low nutritive value and takes
up food and drink of the highest value,
already partly digested and capable of
being quickly changed into good, rich
blood and strong tissue
A most valuable feature of Grape
Nuts is the natural phosphate of pot
ash grown in the grains from which
it is made. This is the element which
transforms albumen in the body into
the soft gray substance which fills
brain and nerve centres.
A few days use Of Grape-Nuts will
give one a degree of nervous strength
well worth the trial
Look in pkgs. for the little book,
The Road to Wellville'' There's a
Reason"

Soldiers RraNery Proved.

The story of a soldiers daring
comes from Hardin. The usual non
descript crowd was on the railway
station platform. A nonstop Man
churian express was swiftly approach
ing, when, to the horror of the spec
tators, a child was seen to crawl to
the metals in front of the on-coming
train. The child's fate appeared
to be inevitable. At the same instant
soldier darted across the lines. As
both the soldier and the infant mo-
mentari1y disappeared from view, it
was believed that they had been man
gled to death. The courier passed in
a flash, and, to the vociferous joy Of
the spectators, the soldier was seen
standing on the opposite side of the
metals with the child in his arms
and one-half of his long gray over
coat torn and carried away by the
locomotive. The crowd Immediately
subscribed a reward of 20 roubles for
the brave rescuer.

A Little Too HaStV.

In the scramble that followed a pre-
mature discharge of dynamite in a
building-lot, says writer in the New
York Sun, a stout man lost a scarf-pin.
After he began to search for it he no
ticed another man poking round in the
dust and debris. He Immediately grew
suspicious, and at last spoke.
Il do not wish to give offense," he
said, but I must ask you to refrain
from assisting me in this search. l ap-
preciate your willingness to help, but
as a means of self-protection [ long
ago made it a rule never to allow
strangers to assist me in search for a
lost article"
"Oh, very WELL" said the stranger
You have no objection to my looking
on, I SUPPOSE"
He sat down on the curbstone and
watched the stout man sift dust and
overturn stones. After twenty minutes
of painful STOPPING the stout man
found a scarf-pin.
But it is not my PIN he said, de-
jectedly.
mo, it's NINE" said the other man.
Il heard it strike somewhere herea-
bouts. That was what | set out to
look for, but when I saw how anxious
you were for the job I let you go
ahead Your own scarf-pin, if you
want to know, is sticking to the flap
of your left coat pocket"

The Induence of Color.

The influence Of color upon the com
plexion and general tone of the toilet
is very striking. Blondes should avoid
the lighter shades of blue, which are
apt TO give an ashy hue to the ccm-
pleXion. The darker shades of blue
may be worn more recklessly by
blondes than the lighter shades, be
cause throwing out the complexion in
high relief on an accommodating back
ground, and the darker and more vel
vety the shades the finer the effect.
Brunettes cannot wear blue becoming
ly, because this shade, when Swallowed
by yellow skin, enters into a COM
position of green, and the tawniness
of the complexion is increased. The
horid brunette can risk the wearing
Of blue. Green is a dangerous color
for brunettes, but adapted to the fair.
A pale brunette can effectively wear
red-it heightens the effect of a bru-
nette beauty. 1t is stated by a reli-
able authority that crimson should be
charity INDUCED in by the brunette,
but crimson may be worn with safety
by the blonde. Yellow is highly becom-
ing to the pale brunette, and especially
by gas light" Yellow grows paler and
softer in an artificial than in a natural
light; it enters into the olive shade of
the bruno skin with a softening effect,
giving it rich, creamy tint that be-
comes beautiful in contrast with brill
liant dark eyes and rich dark hair.
The artists long ago. discovered what
milliners are slow to perceive, and that
is that yellow clears everything

Two EGreen', Reporters.

The inexperienced reporter is likely
to have an undeveloped news sense"
Every one will recall the story of the
journalist who was sent to report a
fashionable wedding He returned an
hour or SO later empty-handed. When
asked what happened, he said, Moth
ing at ALL the groom didn't come" A
writer in Lippincott's Magazine re-
counts an incident not dissimilar.
At a certain school of journalism a
part of the practical work is to do reg
ular reporting. One time a student
was sent in haste to cover" railroad
wreck at a town few miles away
1t grew to be almost time for the p,-
per to go to press, and still no word
from the young man on the assign
ment. In desperation, the dean of the
school telegraphed to ask why the
story was not forthcoming. The reply
was:
TOO much excitement. Wait till
things quiet down"

GENERAL STRIKE TIES
Up ALL PHILADELPHIA
General WaIkout in Sympathy with
Street Car Men Takes Effect
at Midnight.
MILITIA IS HELD IN READINESS
Labor Leaders Assert 100000 Union
Workers VIII Obey order-Im-
partial Estimate 10000.

A general strike of the unions in
sympathy with the striking street car
men went into effect in Philadelphia
at midnight the other night. Stimuli
taneously it became known. DESPITE
the denial of Gen. Clay, head of the
police force, that every national guard
regiment in the State of PENNSYLVANIA
has received orders to be ready to
entrain for Philadelphia at an hours
notice
The labor leaders are shouting ex-
ultantly that 100000 men have lined
up with the striking motormen and
conductors. Tho police canvassers
make the figure less than q, 1000. An
impartial estimate is 10000, a little
more or a little less.
While the labor leaders are receiv-
ing moral support from their fellow
worlumen in all parts of the country.
many associations of employers have
sent letters and kilograms to the off
Gals of the 3apid Transit Company
and the city officials commencing the
stand taken and urging them to re
main firm in their determination not
to submit to the strikers demand for
union recognition. The struggle of
the Philadelphia Rapid Transit Com
pany against the car mems union has
broadened into a fight between en-
ployers who insist on their right to
run open shops and labor unionism.
From now on the issue is the life or
death Of labor unionism in Philadel-
phia.
All policemen, firemen and specials
who have been on duty since the strike
began received orders to remain at
their posts. The emergency automo-
biles in the city hall courtyard were
increased in number and measures tax
en- to send a force of men to any sec
ton of the city at moments notice.
Many of these machines are driven by
their owners, wealthy men, who have
VOLUNTEERED for police duty and have
been sworn in.
The outlook is Ominous, even to the
most chereful observers. So much bit
terness has developed in the last few
days that the people of Philadelphia
are preparing for any kind of trouble.

Overcrowding is no modern innoya-
ton, says a writer in the San Fran
cisco Call, and he illustrates the point
with a story a man was complaining
to an old pilot about the fact that
there had been four in one stateroom
on a steamboat. -Four in a room ?"
replied the other. That's nothing.
You should have travelled in the days
of the gold rush to California.
Z remember one trip out of New
York we carried more than one thou
sand passengers, and if you put fifty
on that ship to-day there'd be a protest
that would reach Washington, and
make trouble for somebody. To show
you how crowded it was and what
crowded really means, three days out
from New York a chap walked up to
the old man, and said:
Captain, you really must find me
a place to sleep
Where have you been sleeping I'M
til now?' asked the old man.
WELL says the fellow, you see,
it's this way. I've been sleeping on
sick man; but he's getting better now,
and won't stand for it much longer. y

The Simple Car

The success of the Overland is mainly
due to it's amazing simplicity. A 10-year-
old child can master the car in five min
utes. Push a pedal forward to go ahead,
and backward to reverse. Push another
pedal for high speed. There is nothing
else to do but steer.
Any man with the simplest instructions,

There was never a car so easy to care
for-so easy to keep in order.
