A Mighty Important Subject to Every.
One.

A Boston lady talks entertainingly
Of food and the changes that can be
made in health by some knowledge on
that line. She says:
An injury to my spine in early WON.
anhood left me subject to severe sick
headaches which would last three or
four days at time, and a violent
course Of drugging brought on consti.
patton with all the ills that follow.
My appetite was always light and
uncertain and many kinds of food dis.
tressed me.
Il began to eat Grape Nuts food two
or three years ago. because l liked the
taste of it. and kept on because l
soon found it was doing me good.
Il eat 1t regularly at breakfast, fire.
Quently at luncheon, and again before
going to bed-and have no trouble in
Sleeping on It, 1t has relieved my con-
stipation. my headaches have practi.
cally ceased. and am in better physi-
cal condition at the age Of 63 than I
was at 40.
Il give Grape-Nuts credit for restor.
Ing my health, II not saving my life,

strong for me to endorse" Name

the question. too? Incred-
ibls a. It may seem. scientists are
even now doing that very thing. In
the near future you and I should be
prepared to hear them announce most
learnedly and sententiously the 70
discovery Of the human soul
Here and there. in hospital labora-
tories widely scattered. men of sci
snce are cropping into the mystery.
Like the medieval scientists who
Lived In dread Of the ban Of Mother
Church. they are mostly working
Dscrstly and are not telling half they
know. For science, that marvellous
machine Of modern progress, has its
church, too, as 1t were; its orthodoxy
and its heterodoxy; its hierarchy Of
established rulers who excommunicate
and set autos-da-fe for expounders Of
heresies.
So far the evidence these bold in
vestigators have unearthed Is chiefly
negative. yet nevertheless highly sig
nifcant. In the first place. one Of
them found that physical death 10 ac-
companied by a sudden loss Of bodily
weight varying from ree-quarters Of
An ounce to nearly an ounce and .
quarter. Some curious experiments
of this kind were made by DR.. Dun
can MacDougall. OF Haverhill, Mass.
His first subject was a man dying
Of tuberculosis. He selected a pa
tent dying from this disease because
90 great an exhaustion characterizes
IT'S final stages that death occurs with
little or no muscular movement With
= patient quiet. the beam Of the scales
can be kept true and any loss occur
ring will be evidenced.
In this experiment the patient was
fySng on a bed arranged on a light
framework which was built on very
delicately balanced platform scales.
He was under observation three hours
and forty minutes before death. He
lost weight slowly at the rate Of an
ounce an hour. due to the evaporation
of breath moisture and perspiration
Keenly the physician watched the
fading hours and minutes Of the al
most spent life. And then-suddenly,
coincident with death-the beam end
of the scales dropped with an audi
BILE stroke. hitting against tho lower
bar and remaining there with no re-
bound! The scales registered an In
stant loss of three quarters OF an
ounce
What had gone? 1t could not have
been evaporation Of sweat, he decided.
for that had slowly left the body at
the rate Of a tiny fraction Of an ounce
q minute. whereas the sudden loss at
death had been many times as great
1t could not have been, further tests
satisfied the doctor. the air in the
lungs. DR.. MacDougall was startled at
the weird phenomenon. Something
immaterial. yet evidently forceful and
Of weight, had departed with the life
What in the world was It?
The physician repeated his expert
ments In the last hours of various 9TH
er tuberculosis patients Always at
the supreme moment the stroke of the
beam came down with an audible re-
port, and each time the scales told
the loss Of about an ounce. Could
this thing that SO suddenly departed
be possibly viewed in its upward
flight?
Seized with new hope. the expert
menter devised clear white light to
rest along the body of the subject in
the dying hour In other cases he
covered the bodies with the rainbow

FLORIDA FAVORS STATE BUILD.
INGS IN WASHINGTON

A special from Washington says it
that city may act upon a proposal
from the president of the Jackson
vile board of trade, Francis P. Conroy,
and invite commercial bodies through
out the United States to send delega-
ties to Washington next May to con-
slider the erection of permanent state
buildings there for exhibit purposes.
This feature forms a part of the Gel
ebration proposed by the chamber of
commerce and the board of trade to
open officially the Panama canal in
1915. This is embodied in the pro-
gram that was presented to congress.
Lindsey S. Perkins of Baltimore,
who has just returned from Florida,
says that the sentiment in parts of
that state is very strongly in favor
of the erection in Washington of per-
manent state buildings, in which the
resources and natural productions
may be arranged for display.
