No man can be at his best
With a poor digestion.
If you have lost appetite
And can't digest what you eat,
Drop the usual heavy meats
And gravies, puddings and pies,
And live for a time
Principally on Grape-Nuts and
cream.
If you have never tried it,
There's treat in store for you.
Grape-Nuts can be easily di-
gested
BY the weakest stomach
And soon strengthens
The digestive organs,
So that variety of food
Can be eaten with comfort.
Be sensible.
Don't put off the test.

NO HEALTHY SKIN LEFT

My little son, boy of five, broke
out with an itching rash. Three doc
tors prescribed for him, but he kept
getting worse until we could not dress
him any more. They finally advised
me to try certain medical college,
but its treatment did no good. At
the time l was induced to try Cuti-
cura he was so bad that l had to cut
his hair off and put the Cuticura Oint-
ment on him on bandages, as it was
impossible to touch him with the bare
hand. There was not one square inch
Of skin on his whole body that was
not affected. He was one mass of
sores The bandages used to stick to
his skin and in removing them it used
to take the skin off with them, and
the screams from the poor child were
heartbreaking. 1 began to think that
he would never get we'll, but after the
second application of Cuticura Oint.
ment l began to see signs of improve
ment, and with the third and fourth
applications the sores commenced to
dry up. His skin peeled off twenty
times, but it finally yielded to the
treatment. Now 1 can say that he is
entirely cured, and a stronger and
healthier boy you never saw than he
is to-day, twelve years or more since
the cure was effected. Robert Wattam,

Twentyone days after he received his colonel's
commission his regiment. gathered from four from

How soon war changes the fortunes of men! In
December, 1898. just year and seven months after
our two adventurers took the Rough Riders to the

was the governor-elect Of the great state Of New

sailed for the Philippines in March. 1903, but
grave. observant man Of 43 years. His experience
in Cuba had taught him much, and above all
things, the extreme importance of careful prepara
tion In dealing with alien races.
Early in 1906 Gen. Wood took command Of the
entire Philippines division, which includes nearly
$4,000 troops. For more than two years he put his
tremendous energy to the task Of emphasizing the
training of soldiers for actual conditions Of war,
treating administrative methods. not as an object.
but as means. At the end Of his long and brilliant
service In the Philippines he returned to the United
States to assume his first military command on

In 1880. when Leonard was a stawar+ ,r,,,

oated whether he should enter Harvard univer-
sity. That was the very time when Theodore
Roosevelt was graduated from Harvard The iron.
muscled young Yankee. who was already a
notable cross-country runner. wanted to enter the
army or navy. The spirit of adventure was strong
IN hl But the wishes of his sober old father pre-

entered the Harvard Medical school.
In the third year after he entered the study Of
medicine he won In competitive examination

Is months In this position he had a row with the
hospital superintendent and resigned Then he
served in the North End dispensary of Boston.
In following the story of this singular man It
is interesting to know that, although he followed
his fathers wishes by entering a medical school
he there became the chum Of a son OF an army
captain, and. while studying medicine, he actually
began to prepare himself for military career by
reading military science. and in every way nos.
