ing the glass of the fire alarm and
sounding a call.
She did so in a few moments
fire engines came from several direc-
lions, all laden with flremen, of course.
but alas! her iance was not among
them, and more than that all the fire.
men were angry, and before she knew
what had happened she was taken to
a magistrate, who proceeded to make
the course of true love Il unsmooA.h
by sending her to prison for a month
in spite Of her tears and protests that
she thought 1t would be a simple wav
of bringing her fiance to her side.

Two Very Old Ladies'.

We have heard a great deal lately
about long-lived people, but 1t 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.
1884.
She is still a 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
ne%ighborhood 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.

the delegates moved that, in conse-

which they all regretted, another gen

appointed to fill his place as one OF
the representatives Of Wiltshire on

and In good health. and would be
pleased to continue in the office if the

That Suit for Libel

A disagreement about advertising arose
with a weekly Journal.
Following it. an attack on 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 too
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 q comfort to
those who fear q surgeons knife as they fear
death?
The weekly" writer said that was a 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 investi-
gated to find out IL the testimonial letters to
our Co. were genuine.
A famous surgeon testified that when an
operation was required Grape-Nuts would not
obviate II. True.
We never claimed that when an operation
was required Grape-Nuts would prevent it.
The surgeon testified bacteria (germs1 help
ed to bring on an attack and bacteria was
grown by undlgested 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 1t was helpful
to use q predigested food which did not over
tax the weakened organs Of digestion.
