cripple Rides RioxcIe.

George Anstey, aged u, 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
paddt 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-

as pedals, steering gear, and brake

DIFFERENCE IN THE RACES
Mexicans in the Main Unjust In
Blaming Americans for Lack
of PoIiteness.

All the Mexican correspondents
who have written on the subject of
why Americans are not better liked
by Mexicans agree that it is largely a
question of a lack of politeness on
the part Of the foreigner here, and in
some cases an ill-concealed contempt.
The latter is inexcusable, and certain
ly must emanate only from inconsid-
crate or poorly educated persons, from
which no nation is free. Politeness,
however, is largely matter of form
and training. 1t is undeniable chat
the Anglo-Saxon salutations, methods
of expressing thanks and ap0recia-
ton, etc, are simpler and shorter
than the Latin forms. To many who
have all their lives been accustomed
to the briefer Saxon ways, an attempt
of the more elaborate Latin politeness
seems, for them, nothing short of af-
fectation, and they simply cannot do
it. There are exceptions among Amer
leans and Englishmen who readily
adopt the courteous phrases of the
Mexicans and use them naturally, but
they are the exceptions. And 1t is
difficult to see how this can readily
be changed. Our Mexican friends
should understand, on the other hand,
that If Anglo-Saxons do not, as rule.
go through as many social formalities
as the usages of the land prescribe,
they mean no offense thereby. They
are accustomed to taking a good
many things for granted that their
Latin cousins give verbal assurance
of. Naturally, It is the duty of the
outlander to conform as nearly as he
can to the ways of his adopted coun-
try. but human nature and settled
habits are pretty hard to make over,
particularly unless you catch them
while they're young Mexican Her

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 1t to be predigested (partly digested
before taking).
We brought to Court analytical chemists
from New York, Chicago and Mishawaka, Ind,
who swore to the analysis OF GrapeNuts ana
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
digesting starch (the large part of food.
Some of the State chemists brought On by
the weekly" said Grape-Nuts could not be
called ''predigested" food because not all OF
it was digested outside tns body.
The other chemists said am 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-hah Of the
food is "pre1fgested." it is easier on weakened
stomach and bowels than food in which no
part is predigested.

Hunters Tell of an Encounter With q
Bear In Mid-Lake-Animal Takes
Possession of Their Canoe.

Two men on hunting and fishing
trip in the Province of Ontario had
an adventure with a bear, which is
described by q writer in Recreation.
They were crossing a lake toward
,heir camp and steered toward what
they thought was the burned end of a
Sunken log. 1t proved. however. 10 he
a large bear. He was swimming SLOW
iy, evidently enjoying his cooling bait,
and in no hurry to go ashore. They
had no weapons, and made their plans
TO drive the hear toward their camp,
where their guide was at work, and
when within few hundred feet of his
y.de all would be right.
4 few quick strokes put our boat
between him and the edge Of the lake.
We naturally supposed he would turn
aside and let US drive him before US.
We were wrong in our superstition.

A disagreement about advertising arsse
with 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 100
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 surgeons knife as they fear
death?
The weekly" writer said that was lie.
We replied that he was ignorant OF the facts.
He was put on the stand and compelled to
admit he WAS not a Dr. and had no medical
knowledge of appendicitis and never inyesti-
gated to find out il the testimonial letters to
our Co. were genuine.
A famous surgeon testified that wheD an
operation was required Grape-Nuts would not
obviate it, True
We never claimed that when operation
was required GrapeNuts would prevent it.
The surgeon testified bacteria Igermsl help
ed to bring on an attack and bacteria was
grown by undigested food frequently.
We claimed and proved By other famous
experts that und;gested 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 1t was helpful
to use predigested food which did not over
tax the weakened organs of digestion
