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 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 unit
for business, and 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 me SO dull, heavy and un-
comfortable, and unfit for business
after meals. concluded to try Grape
Nuts food to see what it could do for
me.
81 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.
81 have regained my normal weight
and find that business Is a pleasure
once more-can take more interest IN
1t, and my mind is clearer and more

1t is mans nature to fight. 1t is his

not achieved by hiring lawyer. A
man who is not willing to fight to the

not as good or complete a man as one
who is is willing. But opinions about
this are not 30 important as the fact

HORACE'S VILLA

 The frigidarium of Egyptian form and the calidarium have been discovered, to- gether with some fine. mosaics. The gen. eral appearance of the villa little suggest the simple life, the beauty of which the Venusian poet sang so enduringly, unless 1t be the farm which adjoined the villa

LOVE OF ASPARAGUS
 CAUSED D0WNF ALL

Milan, September 16.-(Special. )-Strange indeed are the links which make up the fatal chain of circumstance in the story of Giuspoppi Coglisti, who died recently a raving maniac in the lunatic asylum of Mombelli. Probably the most penetrating psychologist would find it impossible, un- less he were provided with the guiding tween an inordnate taste for asparagus and death in a padded cell, but it was rn- doubtedly Coglistis penchant for the suc- culent vegetable which in the first place Induced him to steal a few heads fr pm neighboring plantation, and his anxiety to conceal this comparatively trifling mis- lemeanor caused him to endure the un- sold suffering which eventually upset his mental equilibrium and drove reason from her throne to his fear tortured brain
 The theft, which was the first act in this pathetic tragedy, was committed two years ago. Coglisti, am inhabitant of Montegrino, was enjoying a stroll in the country, when he perceived fine bed of asparagus belonging to one of his fellow .itizens. His mouth began to water and -extracting a knife he set about collecting
 l few heads, on which he proposed mak- ing an enjoyable feast. Suddenly a gun was fired and the guttenous thief was struck in the right shoulder by a number of pellets from sporting cartridge. With cry of terror he took to his heels, bur had barely gone a half dozen steps before another discharge took him full in the back, and he stumbled to the ground Struggling to his feet again he perceived the owner of the asparagus bed prepar- ing to reload his gun. The wretched man made,a supreme effort to escape and man aged to reach the house of friend whom he swore to secrecy. He was unwilling to denounce the person who had wounded him, as he did not want his attempted robbery to become known. For the same reason he would not consult doctor, who would have been obliged to make report of the matter to the local authorities So after his friend had done his best for hin, he accompanied Cogllsti to his home and left him in the care of His wife.
 Coglist bore his suffering in silence for four or five months. His condition grew worse and worse, and at last he was taken to hospital in Milan. Still he would say nothing about the cause of his serious condition.
 His sufferings and the separation from his family added to the constant fear Of his enemy, the proprietor of the aspara- gus, whom he supposed to be lying in wait ready to shoot at him again, finally turned his brain, and at last he was sent to lunatic asylum, when his condition degenerated from melancholia into hom- icidal mania, until at last death put merciful end to his sufferings.
 This occurred last month. Until a few days ago his widow jealousy guarded the secret of her unfortunate husband Then she went to the authorities and told them all the facts. The matter is now The subject of a judicial ino,liry ss~

One hears so much of the progress of antimilitarism that 1t is quite refreshing to mark thei singular unanmity of the Conseils Generaux in invoking the patri- otic sentiment of the French people. or course, everyone hoped that peace would not be broken with Germany, still there was the chance that the situation might lead to war.
