This contractor got results.

Some years ago a contractor build ing railroad in a warm climate was troubled a great deal by sickness among the laborers.
 He turned his attention at once to their food and found that they were getting full rations of meat and were drinking water from a stream near by.
 He issued orders to cut down the amount of meat and to increase great. ly the quantity of Quaker Scotch Oats fed to the men.
 He also boiled Quaker Scotch Oats and mixed the thin oatmeal water with their drinking water. Almost instantly all signs of stomach disorders passed and his men showed decided improve ment in strength and spirits This con tractor had experience that taught him the great value of good oatmeal

Must Have
 Hurt Dreadfully From the Letter Recently Received From Mrs. E. Fournier, of Lake Charles, La., Her
 Suffering Must Have
 Been Dreadful.

Lake Charles, La.-'T had no cour- age or patience left" writes Mrs. E. Fournier of this place, "as a result of my great suffering.
 'I had backache, headache. heart palpitation, chills, fainting spells, sick stomach, nervousness, dragging sensa. tions and thought every month l should die.
 No doctor could relieve me and the month before I began to take Cardui, could hardly walk. I could not wear my corset, and had pain in my right side
 Since taking Cardui, I have no more pain. I can walk as far as want and am feeling like a different woman.'
 If you suffer from any of the symp. toms described by Mrs. Fournier you are urged to take Cardui, for it should surely do as much for you, as it has done for her.
 If you are weak and ailing, suffer from lack of appetite, lack of blood, lack of nervous vitality, Cardui is probably just what you need to help you build up your physical and nervous constitution
 It builds, strengthens, restores and acts ln every way as a specific, tonic remedy, for womanly weakness.

KEEP HABITS OF THE SEA
Sailors Light Their Pifes oT L-aNt EX- actly as They Would on
 Shipboard.

In a New York barroom wEele many of the bluejackets with the fleet for the IIudson-Fulton celebration took their nightcaps before returning to their ships, a petty officer said to a landlubber acquaintance:
 See how the boys hold their pipes! "
 Almost every one of them had the bowl of his pipe covered with the arched finger of his hand
 "See?' said the petty officer. Now wait till one of them lights his pipe"
 In little while sailor filled his pipe, got out his match and faced the open door of the barroom. There was not breath of breeze coming through the door, but the sailor covered the lighted match and the pipe bowl with one hand while he was getting light, and after he had thrown the dead match away he continued to smoke with his fingers arched over the pipe bowl.
 Force of habit" said the petty of fca:. He doesn't intend that the pi- ping breeze shall blow the lighted to- bacco out of his pipe.

MISCHIEF MAKER A Surprise in Brooklyn.

An adults food that can save a baby proves itself to be nourishing an6 easily digested and good for big and little folks. A Brooklyn man says:
 When baby was about eleven months old he began to grow thin and pale. This was, at first, attributed tc the heat and the fact that his teeth were coming, but, in reality, the poor little thing was starving, his mothers milk not being sufficient nourishment.
 One day after he had cried bitterly for an hour, I suggested that my wife try him on Grape-Nuts. She soaked two teaspoonfuls in a saucer with a little sugar and warm milk. This baby ate so ravenously that she fixed sec ond which he likewise finished.
 Tt was not many days before he for got all about being nursed, and has since lived almost exclusively on Grape-Nuts. Today the boy is strong and robust, and as cute a mischief maker as a thirteen months old baby is expected to be.
 We have put before him other foods, but he will have none of them, evidently preferring to stick to that which did him so much good-his old friend Grape-Nuts.
 "Use this letter any way you wish, for my wife and I can never praise Grape-Nuts enough after the bright ness it has brought to our household"
 Grape-Nuts is not made for a baby food but experience with thousands of babies shows it to be among the best, if not entirely the best in use. Being a scientific preparation of Natures grains, it is equally effective as body and brain builder for grown-ups.

OPPORTUNITY TO DO GOOD
Comtined Efforts on National Tuber- cuioss Sunday Will Have
 Excellent Results.

New York city had more arrests for
 violation of the anti-spitting ordinance
 in 1909 than any other city in the
 United States, having had 2.513, with
 2,099 convictions. and $l l936.S0 col lected in fines Baltimore comes next with 214 arrests and an equal num- ber of convictions Pittsburg is third in rank. with St Louis in fourth place. St. Louis, however. would have been in second place, if the sanitary police who enforce the law in that city had been at work in 1909, In 52 cities out Of so the law was either not enforced at all or very poorly enforced. Of the remaining 2S cities, less than one half of them contributed more than three-fourths of the arrests for spit ting and of the fines collected. On ac- count of the fact that National Tuber- cuIosis Sunday will be observed on April 24, the National Association for the Study and Prevention of Tubercu- losis is calling the attention of clergy men in all parts of the country to the advisability of bringing before their congregations the necessity for better enforcement of the anti-SpittinS laws

and foot by foot the intrepid climber Is lowered till his cheery voice is lost amid the fiuttering sounds of the dis turbed birds. He swings from nest to nest, putting each egg carefully in a bag slung over his shoulder As soon as his bag is full he gives the hoist up" signal on the guide rope and the men haul him up
 Wilkinson makes several descents and at the end of the day shares the spoil with his assistants, who sell the eggs for eating purposes to the in habitants of the neighboring villages
