GET POWER.
The Supply Comes From Food.

If we get power from food why not
strive to get all the power we can
That is only possible by use Of skill
fully selected food hat exactly fits
the requirements Of the body.
Poor fuel makes a poor fire and q
poor fire is not a good steam producer.
From not knowing how to select
the right food to fit my needs, 1 suf-
fered grievously for a long time from
stomach troubles" writes a lady from
a little town in Missouri. z
"It seemed as If 1 would never BIZ
able to find out the sort of food that
was best for me hardly anything that
/ could eat would stay on my stomach.
Every attempt gave me heartburn and
filed my stomach with gas. I got
thinner and thinner until / literally
became a living skeleton, and in time
was compelled to keep to my bed.
A few months ago l was persuaded
to try Grape-Nuts food, and it had such
good effect from the very beginning
that l have kept up it's use ever since.
l was surprised at the ease with which
/ digested it. 1t proved to be just
what 1 needed.
"All my unpleasant symptoms, the
heartburn, the inflated feeling which
gave me so much pain disappeared.
My weight gradually increased from
SO to 116 pounds, my figure rounded
out, my strength came back, and I am
now able to do my homework and en-
Joy it. Grape-Nuts food did It," Name

stances were suspected, but their ac-
tuality had not been allowed to trans
pire. Haldane kept in constant touch
with Liffey the boss; but no one, save
the inner circle, suspected that the
two were hand in glove together.
Haldane did not often meet with
anyone but Liffey. In this instance,
however, he at least appreciated the
gravity of the situation, and had di-
rected Liffey to bring with him those
whose advice would naturally be
sought on such subjects as he desired
to discuss. He had also assembled two
of the directors of the Gotham Freight
Traction company, to wit, Van Slyke
and Mcdonald, men associated with
him upon whose judgment and ability
he could rely. In addition to them
came Liffey, grand chief of the Sa-
chem society and the acknowledged
and undisputed boss Of the party;
Cornell, the chief of police; Ruther-
ford, the district attorney; Habber-
ley, the street commissioner; and last
and also least, Hon. Peter D. Warren,
mayor Of the city.
Liffey, as leader of the Great
Sachem society, controlled the or
~ganization absolutely. The chief of
police welded the vast powers for
graft of that remarkable organization.
The district attorney, through whose
hands all criminal prosecutions must
pass, was the safety valve of both
the Sachem society and that portion of
the people to which it looked for sup

They were a pleasant party at the
country house, and it was only nat
ural that Harvey Hardup should
fall in love with CIarissa Coyne. the
heiress.
One afternoon they went for a row
On the river, but their boat struck a
floating tree and sank, leaving them
struggling in the water.
Mad with terror, she threw her
arms around his valiant neck, almost
strangling him. But he was deter
mined to save her, so raising his fist
he struck her twice, making her un-
conscious, and thus enabling him To
save her.
She was carried to her room, and
next day, when Harvey called, this
note was handed to him:
"Sir: 1 quite admit that 1t was
