 for MilIions-Honorable Alexandra
 ST. PETERSBURG, Jan, II. -. Russians are becoming outspoken in their dissatisfaction at the busi- nesslike persistence with which the members of the late Count Tolstoy's s family are making capital out of his name.
 The youngest daughter. Alexandra. is an honorable exception. She and Count Vladimir Tchertkoff are striv- ing to preserve the dead mans mem- ory in harmony with his life, but her brother, Count Ilya, acting for him. self and his brother, has formerly petitioned the government to pur- chase the estate at Yasnaya Polyana and make it national property.
 They ask a million rubles, or about $500,0O0, for their share and their mother wants a million more for hers. There is little likehood that they will get anything from the government. The launching of ma tional subscription will doubtless bs the next move.

 Start in the Court Room.

Start in the Court Room.
 SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 21-John Thode, a grocer, at Noe and 23rd streets, who was arrested by De tectives Burner and Cornelius for selling liquor to minor, told the detectives that he was very busy man and he didn't think he would have time to go to court. They convinced him that his presence there was quite necessary and ad- an attorney.
 "Pooh!" Thode is alleged to have calculated. "I don't need any at torney. I'll try my case myself. You watch me. I'll convince the judge in short order that I'm inno- cent of this charge
 The case was called before Police Judge Shortall and the young boy to whom Thode was alleged to have sold the liquor was placed on the witness stand.
 Where is your attorney?" asked Judge Shortall of Thode.
 T haven't any" answered Thode. T will defend myself. l don't need an attorney"
 Proceed" said Judge Shortall to Prosecutor Becsey.
 Before the latter had time to frame his first question Thode in terrupted, saying, Say. hold on; that ain't the boy l sold the liquor to. This boy isn't as large as that boy"
 "Oh, ho!" said Judge Shortall. II find you guilty. You are sentenced to pay a fine of s25. If you are here before me again on similar charge the fine will be vastly heavier"
 Well, that's funny" muttered Thode in a daZed sort of way as he paid his fine.

REASONED 1T OUT
And Found Change In Food Put
Him Right.

A man does not count as wasted the
time he spends in thinking over his
business, but he seems 10th to give
the same sort of careful attention to
himself and to his health. And yet
his business would be worth little
without good health to care for 1t. A
business man tells how he did him
self good by carefully thinking over
his physical condition, investigating to
find out what was needed. and then
changing to the right food.
For some years l had been bother
ed a great deal after meals. My food
seemed to lay like lead in my stomach,
producing heaviness and dullness and
sometimes positive pain. OF course
this rendered me more or less unfit
for business. and I made up my mind
that something would have to be done.
Reflection led me to the conclusion
that over-eating. filling the stomach
with indigestible food, was responsible
for many Of the ills that human flesh
endures, and that was Furnishing
myself In that way-that was what
was making mo SO dull. heavy and un-
comfortable, and unfit for business
after meals. 1 concluded to try Grape
Nuts food to see what 1t could do for
me.
T have been using 1t for some
months now, and am glad to say that
do not suffer any longer after meals;
my food seems to assimilate easily
and perfectly. and to do the work for
which It was intended.

It, and my mind Is clearer and more
