A FOOD STORY
Makes a Woman of ozone In 10000"

The widow of one of Ohio's most
distinguished newspaper editors and
a famous leader in politics in his day,
says she is 20 years old and "stron-
ger woman than you will find In ten
thousand" and she credits her fine
physical condition to the use Of Grape
Nuts:
MANY years ago I had a terrible
fall which permanently injured my
stomach. For years l lived on a
preparation of corn starch and milk,
but 1t grew so repugnant to me that
had to give it up. Then I tried, one
after another, dozen different kinds
OF cereals, but the process of diges-
ton gave me great pain.
at was not until l began to use
Grape-Nuts food three years ago that
found relief. It has proved, with the
dear Lords blessing. great boon to
me. 1t brought me health and vigor
such as never expected to again en-

are few people who realize the intricacy
of the science of writing a laugh'-that
is, a line capable of producing laugh
from audience.
"a man may write one of the funniest
lines ever given to the American stage,
and see it ignored by an audience be-
cause of some act on the part of the
producing company or one member of
that company. | have seen the wittiest of
remarks wasted because of the move of
a hand or of the head of the comedian or
actor who enunciated it. Then, again,
the laugh is taken out of line by the
moving of some person in the stage
setting or by the moving OF some
part of the setting itself. 1t is funny
/ how the slightest move on the part of
an actor, after reeiting certain lines
absolutely eliminates the wit from
what he has just spoken. 50 far as
the audience is concerned. This is
so Of American audiences, but not so
of the English theatergoing public.
They will not laugh unless the With
cism is finished by a nod of the head
or a certain movement OF the body.
1t is on this account that certain
comedies, great successes in this coun-
try, are absolute failures in Great
Britain. Something must be done
when laugh line is spoken on the
English stage to give the audience
an inkling that the witticism has been
completed. Then YOU get your laugh.
Not So on the contrary. with
Americans. l remember of hearing of
an incident involving one of Olga
Nethersoles first appearances in this
country. Several times during the
performance the celebrated actress
walked to the sides and exclaimed to
the stage manager: What's the mat
| ter? Are they going to hiss me of:
/ Why, they applaud before they hear
the end of the lines In each in
stance she was told that the audience
was quicker than the audience to
which she had been accustomed TO
playing She was told the Americans
graspcd the meaning and the wit or
her lines when she had spoken only
half of them. The actress, although
she received all kinds of applause
during the performance, seemed dis
heartened." - Washington Post.

FIRST PULLMAN CONDUCTOR.
How First Sleeping Cars Were Made

1t isn't generally known. but it is q
fact, nevertheless. that Colonel j. L.

sas division of the Santa Fe. was the
first Pullman conductor in the world.

the first Pullman conductor

notice in the papers, that Mr.. Pullman
was going to put sleeping cars on the

to him for a position as conductor.
In September. 1858, ne took me ia
Bloomington TO bring out the first car
that he had ready for use. This car.

and had been used for long time as
a passenger coach 1t had rods run
ming up and down at the end of each
berth. The upper berth was pulled up
on the rear side by a rope and pulley
aud tine front of the berth slid up ON
these rods and was fastened with an
iron catch. The lower berth was
made out of the two seats turned to-
gether.

a night and made up my reports in
Mr.. Pullnans office at the end of each
round trip. deducting s. from my col

one trip, that the man who ran oppo-
site me was short 50 cents of enough
money to pay his own wages.
II remember well looking at one of
the cars that was then used ON the
Lake Shore This car was called
Woodruff Patent but was very an
popular on account Of the two upper
shelves. as they were actually only
shelves for people to sleep on. Mr.
