Place cards were water colors of
Alaskan scenery. Abalone shells held

he took a $40 yellowback from his

could tell whose portrait 1t bore. No

r,uo usrv Old Ladies'.

We have heard a great deal lately
about long lived people, but it is prob
able that the Oldest two people in the
world today are Frau Dutkievitz and
another old lady named Babavaslika.
The former lives at Posem, in Prus-
sian Poland, and was born on Febru-
airy 81, 1885. She is therefore one
hundred and twenty-five years old.
The latter, however, is nine months
her senior, having been born In May,
1874.
She is still fairly hale old woman,
and for nearly one hundred years
worked in the fields. Her descendants
number close on 100, and these now
make her a joint allowance, She lives
at the village of Bavelsko, whose
neighborhood she has never quilted
during the whole of her long life. She
remembers events which happened at
the beginning Of last century much
more clearly than those of the last
40 years.-Dundee Advertiser.

It is sufficient that If only onehaIf of the
food is 'predigested," 1t is easier on weakened

England, has had the peculiar expe-

conference at Exeter when one of
the delegates moved that In conse-

which they all regretted, another gen

appointed to fill his place as one of

Following It. an attack on us appeared in

We replied through the regular papers and

hard and thereupon sued for libel.

continuing indigestible food. washing out the
bowels and taking a predigested food Grape

those who fear surgeons knife as they fear
death?

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 investi-
gated to find out IT. the testimonial letters to
our Co. were genuine.
A famous surgeon testified that when an
operation was required GrapeNuts would not
obviate It. True.
We never claimed that when an operation
was required Grape-Nuts would prevent It,
The surgeon testified bacteria Tgerms1 help

grown by undigested food frequently.
We claimed and proved by other famous
experts that undigested food was largely
responsible for appendicitis.
We showed by expert testimony that many
cases are healed without a knife, but by stop
ping the use of food which did not digest, and
when food was required again It was helpful
to use a predigested food which did not over
tax the weakened organs OF digestion.
