0LD-FASHI0NED BOY PASSED
Youngster Of oIden Days Has PerIshed
In Track Of Modern LlVine-SmaII
Flats Driven Him Away.

What has become Of the old-fash-
loned boy who always had his pockets
full of the treasured loot of youth?
What has become of the lad who car
ried barlow knife. couple Of hun.
dred feet Of kite string and fish line, a
dozen marbles, a piece Of chalk and a
few washers and spike nails around
secreted in his voluminous pockets?
No one ever sees him any more He
1oes not inhabit the streets or the va
cant lots. He doesn't go to school, and
II. he did the modern wiseacres would
hold him up at the entrance and re-
lieve him of his treasures. What then
has become of him? Where has he
gone?
Boy lovers say that the small fiat
has driven him out and he has evolved
into something not nearly so whole
some or else he has become extinct.
They claim that the passing of the real
homes has caused the normal boy to
become a tough little reprobate, who
oftentimes finds his way into the re-
form school or the home for Juvenile
delinquents, all because he has no
chance any more to do the things that
the young male human wants to do.
The crampcd-up fats have no room in
them for the modern boy. There is
hardly enough room for sleeping and
eating and other absolutely necessary
things. Even the woodshed, the par
ticular province of the small boy, has
vanished now that steam heat has be-
come the recognized method for keep
ing warm.

There's no fun motoring alone, you
know. senorita Rodriguez was with
me. Charming girl, what?"
A little while later Mr.. Grimm saun-
tered out into the drawing-room and
made his way toward Miss Thorne
and the French ambassador. Mon
sieur Boissegur rose, and offered his
hand cordially.
Il hope, Monsieur" said Mr. Grimm,

reply. Il have Just thanked Miss

The ambassador bowed ceremoni-

dropped into the seat he had Just left.
You've left the legation, haven't

Rifle for Under Water Use.

When he is working in water infest-
ed by sharks and other sea monsters
likely to do him harm, the diver has
at present to rely for his safety on the
use of the knife or, failing that, on a
quick return to the surface. Now
comes the invention OF Captain Grobl,
German diving instructor, who has
constructed a rife which can be fired
under water, and is designed for the
better arming Of the diver The most
remarkable thing about this is that it
fires, not bullets, but water, which is
propelled with such farce that it has
an extraordinary power of penetration.
Indeed, the inventor himself has
pierced armor plate of medium thick
ness with the water jet from his
weapon. The rife has a stout barrel
and is loaded with a cartridge cased
in India rubber.

FALSE HUNGER
A Symptom Of Stomach Trouble Cor
rected by Good Food.

There is, with some forms of stom-
ach trouble, an abnormal craving for
food which is frequently mistaken for
good appetite" A lady teacher
writes from Carthage, Mo-, to ex-
plain how with good food she dealt
with this sort of hurtful hunger.
Il have taught school for fifteen
years, and up to nine years ago had
good, average health. Nine years ago,
however, my health began to fail,
and continued to grow worse steadily,
in spite of doctors prescriptions, and
everything could do. During all this
time my appetite continued good, only
the more I ate the more wanted to
eat-I was always hungry.
THE first symptoms Of my break
down were a distressing nervousness
and a loss Of flesh. The nervousness
grew so bad that finally it amounted to
actual prostration. Then came stom-
ach troubles, which we're very painful,
constipation which brought on piles,
dyspepsia and severe nervous head
aches
"The doctors seemed powerless to
help me, said l was overworked, and
at last urged me to give up teach
ing, If l wished to save my life.
But this could not do. kept on
at it as well as could, each day grow
ing more wretched, my willpower
alone keeping me up, till at last
good angel suggested that try diet
of Grape-Nuts food, and from that
day to this have found it delicious
always appetizing and satisfying.
Il owe my restoration to health to
Grape-Nuts. My weight has returned
and for more than two years l have
been free from the nervousness, con-
stipation, piles, headaches, and all the
ailments that used to punish me SO,
and have been able to work freely and
easily" Name given by Postum Co.,

Whoever presides in that most i'm
portant section Of the realm Of home
is chiefly responsible for the love,
happiness and health of its commu-
nifty. Cleanliness is it's most impor-
tant obligation; clean, shining dishes,
glass and silverware, serving dainty
viands on snowy linen, give relish
which stimulates a wholesome appe-
tite, and causes that blessing-good
health.
Nothing is so effective in producing
these results as pure, white, Hewitt's

half the labor and same cost as the
many cheap, strong soaps on the mar
ket. Then, too, it costs but five cents.
