CHANGE THE VIBRATION.
1t Makes for Health.

A man tried leaving off meat. pota-
toes, coffee, and etc, and adopted
breakfast Of fruit, Grape-Nuts with
cream, some crisp toast and a cup Of
Postum
His health began to improve at once
for the reason that a 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 a1bumen in the body into
the soft gray substance which fills
brain and nerve centres.
A few days use of Grape-Nuts VIII

A CITY OF MAGIC.
Damascus Seen from Jebel Kasyun Is
a Dream of the Orient.

'The view of Damascus from the
mountain where Mohammed made his
great Remuneration is one of the marvel

Hichen in The Century. again and
again in deserted mosques, the bazaars,
the marble baths, the courts of the foun-

which Abraham is said to have had the
unity of God revealed to him.
An Oriental city Of magic called up

lovely, exquisitely eastern, ephemeral to
be blown away by breath like tuft Of
thistledown; not white, but delicately
pale, with pallor holding the faintest
hint of seashen flush; city slender,
calm, almost mystic in it's fragile grace, set
in the heart of a great wonder of green,

yond which lie the desert spaces this

Damascus is a garden city touched by
the great desert. Under it's roses one
feels the sands. Beside its trembling wa

ORRIS ROOT.
How It Is Grown and Gathered on the
Hills Near Florence.

Most people know that orris root IS
one of the chief ingredients of violet
powder; many others are well acqualnt-
ed with the strangely shaped pieces OF
white root, that seems like dried ginger
which gives out the delicate and subtle
scent of the violet, and perhaps the priv
ileged few know that it IS made from the
roots of kind of iris.
Never have | seen the cultivation OF
the iris and the preparation of orrls
root to such perfection as this summer
in the Tuscan Apennines, where Val
lombrosa lifts its pine covered head,
says a writer in the Queen. 'On the
sunny side of the mountains lies the
whole district of the Val dArno and be-
tween Saltino and Plan di SEQ the en-
tire neighborhood is given up to the Guilt
walton of vines, olives and iris.
Indian corn, wheat and millet find q
place: but wine, oil and orris root are
the three commercial industries. Per-
golas of vines stretch along as far as the
eye can see; vines with clusters Of pur-
pie or white grapes, olives laden with
green berries, and under them and be-
tween them little plantations of iris dali
matiCa.
The iris, or giaggolo, as it is called in
Italy, is planted thinly and allowed to
grow for three years, when the roots are
dug up and tied in big bundles. These
are then prepared. Nearly the whole of
the tuberous root is cut off, leaving only
a tiny bit with fbers in order that the
plant may grow when replanted, as it
is at once for another three years Of
peace.
THE tubers are then thrown into big
basins of water. and the whole family of
the contadine, or peasant, sitting on the
doorstep of their house or under the per-
golas in the shade Of the vines begins
the business of peeling them previous to
their being dried in the sun for the
market. Everybody is busy with the
small sickle shaped knives trimming the
iris root. In its fresh condition it is
sold for about 90 confines the kilo, about
cents pound. But after few days
exposure to the brilliant Italian sunshine
on large wicker work trays it's loses two
thirds of its weight and is sold to the
wholesale merchants at 8 cents a pound ,"

" DIRK FOR LIVING.
Effect Of Prosperity and High Prices on
School Attendance.

The declaration Of Principal Larf6in Of
the Brooklyn Manual Training school,
that the lower grades were being desert

roborated by the report of the Mercantile
Bureau Of the Health department. The
statistics show that 29,843 boys and girls

1909. This is 5000 more than applied the
preceding yeaf, an increase of 80 per

cratic California Rivers.

The unfortunate situation of settlers in
the valleys of San Gabriel and Santa
Ana rivers in southern California calls
attention to the danger threatening that
region in any season Of unusual rainfall.
The beds of these rivers are as dry as
bone during the greater part of the
year, the water being diverted for pur-
poses of irrigation, but in time of food
they often become raging torrents. As
the river beds have mostly been choked
with deposited sand and silt the course
that flood may take is quite uncertain

Ing the night the hunter slept.
Long before rosy dawn began to drive black
robed night away, the rested hunter was hur-
rying to reach the cars domain TO resume the
duel begun the day before. AS he came to the
edge OF the swamp. just as the light of day
was breaking, Broadhorns gave fierce snort
of surprise and plunged recklessly in among
the thick growth OF cedars. The strange
creature who had weared him the day before
had come back. He had come very close, but
a gust OF wind betrayed him and gave the
car his chance to keep cover and fee Now
a royal crown was endangered. the glory of
unopposed rule to be preserved but not in
open fight, for the thing of vicious crack, that
sent whistling thing close and cut the bushes
about him, was in sight borne by the two
legged foe. SO Broadhorns swiftly sought one
of his vantage points and waited, and so the
untiring, silent, step by step pursuit began

the hunter how near he had come to the prize
only to lose 1t. The sunset of that day left
the hunter no further hope of taking q crown
and dethroning the naughty autocrat of the
swamp. Once more could Broadhorns move
among his kind, proud, unconquered and I'M
daunted ruler. He was weary and sought a
place to rest before going out to the hard wood
hills TO browse. Life was becoming strenuous
and for the first time he felt qualm OF fear.
Had he outwtted his pursuer?
That night after superb dinner from fine
saddle OF venison, the hunters of Deerfoot

unremitted pursuit 1t was the beginning OF
the end.
A few yards from the point at which the
cleaning flash was seen, there were sprays or
blood on the foliage. the boss picked up a
splinter Of bone with wisp Of hair, and the
slow, tedious tracing OF the wounded ruler be-
gan. When darkness came, two weary hunters
gave up the search and sought the cheer OF
Deerfoot, to rest and take up the chase afresh.
Next morning, the fourth day since Broad

1t was half past eight when the Judge, who
had been following the course Of the wounded
animal came to a point where the tracks

tangled brush That 1t was the last effort Of
the mighty force that had dominated the de-
throned monarch his skill and knowledge Of
the game and hunting plainly told him. Fol
