Ii Means Health
For the Child

The careful mother. who watches close
ly the physical peculiarities of her chill
dren, will soon discover that the most
important thing in connection with
child's constant good health Is to keep
the bowels regularly open. Sluggish
bowels will be followed by loss of appe-
tite, restlessness during sleep, irrita-
bility and a dozen and one similar evil
dences of physical disorder.

the child a teaspoonful OF DR.. Caldwelrs

mantle of snow could not hide. Be-
meath him, in every direction, were
the cabins OF men. But not many
men were visible. A blanket Of smoke
filed the valleys and turned the gray
day to melancholy twilight. Smoke
arose from a thousand holes in the
snow, where, deep down on bedrock,
in the frozen muck and gravel. men
Crept and scratched and dug, and ever
built more fires to break the grip OF
the frost.
Organization was what was needed,
he decided; and his quick imagination
sketched Eldorado Creek, from mouth
to source, and from mountain top to
mountain top, in the hands OF one ca
pable management. Even steam-thaw-
ing, as yet untried, but bound to come,
he saw would be a makeshift. What
should be done was to hydraulic the
valley sides and benches, and then, on
the creek bottom, to use gold-dredges.
There was the very chance for another
big killing. He had wondered Just
what was precisely the reason for the
Guggenhammers and the big English
concerns sending in their high-salaried
experts. That was their scheme. That
was why they had approached him for
the sale of worked-out claims and tall
ings. They were content to let the
small mine-owners gopher out what
they could, for there would be mil
lions in the leavings.
And, gazing down on the smoky in
ferno of crude effort, Daylight outlined
the new game he would play. a game
in which the Guggenhammers and the
rest would have to reckon with him.
But along with the delight in the new
conception came WEAKNESS. He was
tired of the long Arctic years, and he
was curious about the Outside-the

THE LITTLE WIDOW
A Mighty Good Sort Of Nelshbor to
Have.

"a little widow, neighbor of mine,
persuaded me to try Grape-N,uts when
my stomach was so weak that 1t
would not retain food Of any other
kind" writes grateful woman, from
San Bernardino Co., Cal.
81 had been i'll and confined to my
bed with fever and nervous prostra-
ton for three long months after the
birth of my second boy. We were in
despair until the little widows advice
brought relief.
81 liked Grape-Nuts food from the
beginning, and in an incredibly short
time it gave me such strength that
was able to leave my bed and enjoy
my three good meals a day. In 2
months my weight increased from 90
to 113 pounds, my nerves had steadied
down and l felt ready for anything.
My neighbors were amazed to see me
gain so rapidly, and still more so
when they heard that Grape-Nuts
alone had brought the change.
my 4-year-old boy had eczema very
bad last spring and lost his appetite
entirely, which made him cross and
peevish. put him on diet of Grape
Nuts, which he relished at once. He
improved from the beginning, the &c.
zema disappeared and now he is fat
and rosy, with delightfully."- soft, clear
skin. The Grape-Nuts diet did 1t. l will

he remember that last night he had
seen her. He had thought nothing OF
1t at the time; but, looking back, he
was haunted by every little thing that
had happened. In the light OF the
tragic event, he could understand
everything-her quietness, that calm
gertrude as If all vexing questions OF
living had been smoothed out and
were gone. and that certain ethereal
sweetness about all that she had said
and done that had been almost mater
nal. He remembered the way she had
looked at him, how she had laughed
when he narrated Mickey Dolan's mis-
take in stalking the fraction on Shook
um Gulch. Her laughter had been
lightly joyous, while at the same time
1t had lacked its old-time robustness.
Not that she had been grave or sub.
dued. On the contrary, she had beef,
so patiently content, so filled with
peace. She had fooled him, fool that
he was. He had even thought that
night that her feeling for him had
passed, and he had taken delight in
the thought, and caught visions Of the
satisfying future friendship that would
be theirs with this perturbing love
out of the way.
And then, when he stood at the
door, cap in hand, and said good night.
1t had struck him at the time as a
funny and embarrassing thing, her
bending over his hand and kissing 1t.
He had felt like fool, but he shivered

now when he looked back on 1t and
felt again the touch OF her lips on his
hand. She was saying good-by, an
eternal good-by. and he had never
guessed. At that very moment, and
for all the moments of the evening,
coolly and deliberately, as he well
knew her way, she had been resolved
to die. If he had only known 1t! I'm
touched by the contagious malady
himself nevertheless he would have
married her II he had had the slight
est inkling of what she contemplated.
And yet he knew, furthermore, that
hers was a certain stiff-kneed pride
that would not have permitted her to
accept marriage as an act OF philan-
thropy. There had really been no saw
ing her, after ALL The love-disease
had fastened upon her, and she had
been doomed from the first to perish
of it.

the richest part of Eldorado Creek,

other men talk and of which he was
as ignorant as a child. There were
games out there to play. 1t was a
larger table, and there was no reason
why he with his millions should not

that afternoon on Skookum Hill, that
he resolved to play this last best Klon-
