THE Man Higher Up" Henry Rus
sell Miller's story is described as that
OF a hero who Is of the crude ore
beginning but from whom fine steel
Is finally made as he fights his way
from tenement waif TO the governor
ship of q great state, holding many
intermediate positions, including that
of newsboy and mill-hand, ward boss,
mayor and so on. The book Is OF y
somewhat familiar type, but the reader
will follow the refining process or the
hero with a great deal OF interest.
Ehe romantic element Is that which
inspires the man after he has seen
enough of the world to make up his
mind that he can go to the top as well
as anybody else. The scenes and In
cidents of the story are handled with
much skill and the character OF the
leader in the story is carefully and
firmly Disseminated. A strong story,
one that is pertinent to the time.
clean, and on the whole inspiring Ia
motive and in its working out.

"a Cavalier OF Virginia" This is .
good, old-fashioned story o. adventure,
with a hero OF manly courage and or
superhuman endurance, loyal warriors
and true, a villain OF the deepest and
blacklist dye. and OF course lady
fair OF weak mind but undaunted
loyalty. There are some great scenes,
notably a naval battle in the frozen
waters of Labrador, between two
French Canadian ships under the
pirate Duval, and one small ship OF
the Hudson Bay company commanded
by the Cavalier, which is OF the heroic
quality, while in another the brutality
OF West Indian slavery reaches the
limit of cruelty, and gives the readers
endurance severe test. The story,
however, Is well told with much vigor
of style.

you may not. But unless you are will.

watch the social world pass by, you
must get your mallets and balls down

Our contemporary is in error, Ia

dictate the belief that Mr.. Morehead
has devoted some time and attention

State is aware that the attention OF

with a certain political enterprise In
augurated by Marion Butler that he
has found it impossible to devote any

loo Ardent a Lover.

Georgotto Fontano, an embroiderer
who lives in the Rue Sevres in Paris,
has found herself condemned to a
months Imprisonment for what seems
to her a harmless act.
She was going home from a concert
a few evenings ago when she decided
she would like to see her fiance. AS
he happens to be a fireman whose
station is in her own neighborhood it
occurred to her it would be very easy
to summon him to her side by break
ing the glass of the fire alarm and
sounding a call.
She did so anr in a few moments
fire engines came from several direc-
tons, all laden with firemen, of course,
but alas! her fiance was not among
them, and more than that all the fire
men we're angry, and before she knew
what had happened she was taken to
a magistrate, who proceeded to make
the course of true love run unsmoothly
by sending her to prison for month
in spite of her tears and protests that
she thought it would be a simple way
of bringing her fiance to her side.

DR.. Hiram G. Cortlandt, the we'll
known theologian of Des Moines, said
in a recent address:
Thomas A. Edison tells us that he
thinks the soul is not immortal; but,
after all, what does this great wizard
know about souls? His forte is cleo
tricity and machinery, and when he
talks of souls he reminds me irresist-
IDLY of the young lady who visited the
Baldwin locomotive works and then
told how locomotive is made.
"'You pour she said, "a lot of sand
into lot of boxes, and you throw old
stove lids and things into a furnace,
and they you empty the molten stream
into a hole in the sand, and everybody
yells and swears. Then you pour it
out and let it cool and pound it, and
then you put it in a thing that bores
holes in it. Then you screw it to-
gether, and paint it, and put steam in
it, and it goes splendidly; and they
take it to a drafting room and make
a bluep rint of it. But one thing 1 for
got-they have to make boiler. One
man gets inside and one gets outside,
and they pound frightfully; and then

Plain common sense shows the better way
is to stop food that evidently has not been
digested
Then, when food is required, use an easily
digested food. Grape-Nuts or any other II
you know it to be predigested Cpartly digested
before taking).
We brought to Court analytical chemists
from New York, Chicago and Mishawaka, Ind,
who swore to the analysis of Grape-Nuts 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
digestfng 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" it 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.
If we were little severe in our denuncia-
ton of writer, self-confessed ignorant about
appendicitis and it's cause, it is possible the
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

A disagreement about advertising arose
with a weekly" Journal.
Following it, an attack 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 a predigested food Grape
Nuts.
Observe we said MANY cases not all.
Wouldn't that knowledge be a comfort to
those who fear a surgeons knife as they fear
death?
The weekly writer said that was a lie.
We replied that he 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
required Grape-Nuts would prevent it.
The surgeon testified bacteria rgerms1 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 it was helpful
to use a predigested food which did not over
tax the weakened organs Of digestion.

the party, "as to the genuineness of
bills that little attention is paid to
them in handling, except as to de-

he took a SO yellowback from his

could tell whose portrait it bore. No

Cripple Rides Bicycle,

George Anstey, aged IL, a 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 a 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
