A DETERMINED WOMAN
Finally Found Food That Cured
Her.

Finally Found Food That Cured
when l first read of the remark
able effects of Grape-Nuts food, l de-
termined to secure some," says a
woman of Salisbury, Mo. AT that
time there was none kept in this town,
but my husband ordered some from
a Chicago traveller.
II had been greatly afflicted with
sudden attacks of cramps, nausea, and
vomiting. Tried all sorts of remedies
and physicians, but obtained only tenn
porary relief. As soon as l began to
use the new food the cramps disap-
peared and have never returned.
My old attacks of sick stomach
were a little slower to yield, but by
continuing the food, that trouble has
disappeared entirely. I am to-day per-
fectly well, can eat anything and ev-
erything l wish, without paying the
penalty that 1 used to. We would not
keep house without Grape-Nuts.
My husband was so delighted with
the benefits I received that he has
been recommending Grape-Nuts to his
customers and has built up very
large trade on the food. He sells
them by the case to many of the lead
ing physicians of the county, who rec
ommend Grape-Nuts very generally.
There is some satisfaction in using a
really scientifically prepared food"

A FAMOUS GOOSE.
Peter, The Pet of the English Cold
stream Guards.

stream Guards.
Possibly the most remarkable crea-
ture ever attached TO a regiment was
Peter, the ever famous goose of the
Coldstream guards. This curious pet
was presented to the Coldstreamers
when they were in Canada by the late
Hon. Adolphus Graves, and soon it
acquired a fame which eclipsed that
of all rivals in the way Of pets in the
army.
When the guard was mounted Of
morning Peter always marched off
with them. It is recorded that one
night the goose saved a sentry's life
by flying in the face of a rebel who
was just going to fire at the soldier.
Peters timely aid disconnected the
rebel, who fired at random. The SEN
try Immediately responded by shoot
ing the rebel dead.
When the guards came home and
were CHARTERED in LonSpn one of the
sights when the regiment marched
out was to see Peter strutting at the
head of the battalion till they passed
the barrack gate, when the goose re
turned Unhappily Peters fate was
unheroic His end was i'll in accord
with his martial career, for he was
run over and killed by a cab, and that
not even a taxicab. It was a poor
kind of an end for bird with such
a TecOTd.-LOndOn Telegraph.

Improving Americans,

Nothing is fixed but the certainty
of change" said Goethe, and we know
that the future American will repre-
sent change. He may be taller or
shorter or thinner or fatter than the
American of to-day, but there is moth
ing in the existing state of society
and we use society in it's broad sense
TO indicate that he will not be bet
ter in many ways. Confidence in this
is based largely on the evident de-
termination of the American of to-
day to leave our institutions and our
ideals better than he found them.
Every American, native or foreign
born, wants his children 10 have a
better education than it was posi-
BILE for him to secure. He wants to
have his children live in a community
of higher standards and ideals than
he has; he wants betterment in local,
state and national conditions, and the
result of the want will be an improve
ment and a demand by his children
for still greater improvements.

When they felt that they really had

friend did as requested, stepping out

He had been waiting only about

who was riding on a train and pre-
tended to become i'll after eating
sandwich. The man opened his grip
and took out hot water bag. "He
got a sympathetic porter" the CONNER

opened up his lunch basket, took out
a piece of fried steak and warmed it
up on The water bag. You talk about

he had warmed the steak he cut it all
up with a pair of scissors and fed it
to himself with a pair of sugar tongs,

Immediately after his arrival in Italy

his desire to pay his respects to the
pope had been conveyed to the Vatican

that as an Independent American citi-

Mr. and Mrs. Roosevelt and Kermit
were received by the king and queen of

Need of Japanese Laborers,

The California commissioner Of labor
has made a report to the governor,
showing that the State needs Japanese
labor to develop her resources, as
white unskilled labor can not be en-
gagged for any reasonable wage" But
the report says that more japanese
are now leaving the State than are
coming in, and that Hindoo immi-
grants are on the increase. Already
the japanese perform over so per cent
of the field and vineyard labor. But
the japanese are ambitious to become
land owners, and according to this re-
port quoted the moment this ambition
possesses him he ceases to be the ideal
laborer. The number OF Japanese OBJ
tainable for this years harvest is far
short of the number needed. During
the fifteen months prior to January l,
S33 japanese entered at San Francisco
and 4,1S2 departed.

Old English Laws About Buttons

unrepcaled. An act of George l. in
ficts penalty of 40 shillings on any
person using or selling buttons made
Of cloth, serge, drugget, frieze or cam
let"
This law, says the London Daily
Mail, was a source of intense annoy
ance to foreign visitors, and the au-
thor of lie Parisien a Londres,"
guide written in 1889, is careful to
explain its provisions at considerable
length. He adds, however, that for

summoned on the understanding that
they change their buttons within
