returns to the royal exchequer.
When the colonists came here they found
Il necessary to make good their titles either
by peaceful bargains with the Indians or by
force of arms. From the very first the spirit
OF independence was fostered, for hefs which
had to be maintained by constant vigilance
and negotiations and by show Of force did not
carry with them n deep sense Of obligation.
Indeed even at that early day, although for
the throne the colonists entertained Feelings
OF loyalty and devotion shrewd idea was
abroad that the king did not really own the
land which he had bestowed by his charter.

For years 1 could not safely eat any
brea kfast. 1 tried various kinds of
breakfast food, but they were all soft,
starchy and messes which gave me dis
tressing headaches. l drank strong
coffee, too, which appeared to benefit
me at the time. but added to the head
aches afterwards. Toast and coffee
were no better. for 1 found the toast
very constipating.
"A friend persuaded me to quit the
old coffee and the starchy breakfast
foods. and use Postum and Grape
Nuts instead. / shall never regret tax
ing his advice. 1 began using them
three months ago.
1.-The change they have worked in
me is wonderful. 1 now have no more

headaches. I have gained II pounds

THE OTHER WOMAN
With Blanche Walsh, to Appear at

From the time she made her debut in
Twelfth Night. a the age Of sixteen.
the progress OF Miss Blanche Walsh to-
ward the height Of real fame in the world
Of thetares has been steadily onward.
She has been the star in more than a
dozen productions. and never once has a
play with which she was identified had
its career cut short. It follows therefore
that her new play. THE Other Woman"
in which she will be seen here shortly.
has the prestige which her wonderful
career carries with it. The play was es-
peeially written to give her the opportun-
ity to display her great powers Of emot-
ional acting and lovers Of the drama may
well look forward to the presentation Of
it with keen anticipation. The role which
Miss Walsh has in this play is said to be
the strongest in which she has ever been
seen. This is saying a good deal. but
reports from cities where she has al
ready appeared this season show that
she has swayed audiences in her new
play as she has seldom influenced them
even in her won nderful successes Of pre-
