al had been greatly afflicted with
sudden attacks of cramps, nausea,
and vomiting. Tried all sorts of rem
edies and physicians, but obtained on
ly temporary relief. AS soon as I be-
gan to use the new food the cramps
disappeared 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 today per-
fectly well, can eat anything and
everything I wish without paying the
penalty that I used to. We would
not keep house without Grape-Nuts.
my husband was so delighted
with the benefits l 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 leading physicians of the coun-

At Yokohama the elsh Prince re-

as the largest ever captured along the
coast of Japan. The bones were packed
In seven crates and weighed 10 tons. The
skeleton was slowed in the hold with con-
siderable difficulty, because the Jaw alone
weighed 2l2 tons and filed crate that

Of the fire and seems no worse for the
experiences.
There is much mystery about the orr
gin of the fire. The prevalent theory
is that burglars entered the Fowler
store, blew off the door of the safe.
which contained no money, and in some
way ignited the building. Color is lent
to this theory by the fact that several
people in the street heard an explosion
just before the fire was discovered, and
further by the fact that after the fire
the door of the safe was found detached
and apparently blown off II is thought
10y some. however, that the fire was
too far advanced after the explosion to
have been caused by the explosion or
set later.
