leopard's cage. where after good
deal of fussing and beating about, and
full meal to pacify it, the captive cat

ers. that men kept IN confinement
could not be fed so that life and health
could be sustained under an expense
Of fifteen 10 eighteen cents per day.

diton as when he came in" said Mr.

by death. and both OF these died Of
diseases for which the seeds had been
Bown long before their entrance in a
Delaware prison.
All the sheriffs under whom i
served, agreed with me that our
prisoners would have 10 have meat
end vegetables daily.
Accordingly. we fed them some
fresh meat one day. soup containing
liberal shreds of meat. the next day,
and side meat the next. We fed cab
bage. either well cooked or cold. and
potatoes and turnips and often we
added tomatoes The soup always
contained tomatoes as we'll as pota.

] believe everybody will agree that
our prisoners left Jail in better phy.
steal condition than when they were
imprisoned. I know that some OF then
got better fare and more regularl,
served than they got at home. Blu
It was not done on i've or eight cent,

A conscientious, handwriting and

glad to bear testimony to the pleasure
and increased measure of efficiency
and health that have come to me from
adopting Grape-Nuts food as one OF
my articles of diet
"Fo4' several years l was much dis
tressed during the early part Of each
day by indigestion. My breakfast
seemed to turn sour and failed to d.
gest. After dinner the headache and
other symptoms following the break
fast would wear away, only to return,
however, next morning.
Having heard OF Grape-Nuts food,
finally concluded to give it a trial. l
made my breakfasts OF Grape-Nuts
with cream, toast and Postum. The re-
suit was surprising in improved health
and total absence of the distress that
had, for so long a time, followed the
morning meal.
my digestion became once more
satisfactory, the headaches ceased, and
the old feeling of energy returned.

whereas before began to use Grape
Nuts food was quite nervous and be-
came easily wearied in the work Of
preparing sermons and in study, q
marked improvement in this respect
resulted from the change in my diet.

food produced this result and helped

saccharine Ban PIeases Emery.

SaCCnarine ban HISaSSS Emery.
There is considerable citation in the
office of the state dairy and food com
missioner over the fact that the fed
eral department Of agriculture has de-
cided that chemical "saccharine" is
deleterious and Injurious to health
and its use in all food products shall
be prohibited after July /.
ri am glad to see that for once the
cry of uniformity has different ap-
plication, and this time it is the gov
eminent following the lead of Wis
consin," said Commissioner J. O..
Emery. "The use of saccharine in
foods is prohibited by the Wisconsin
law and this law has been enforced
to the extent that it is no longer
used as a cheap sweetener for soft
drinks, jellies, jams and other foods
manufactured in this state.
This is but another Illustration of
the lack of force In this plea for uni
formity' of the Wisconsin food laws
with those of the federal government.
Saccharine is a coal-tar product 5S4
times sweeter than cane sugar, It
possesses absolutely no food value
and is really deleterious; therefore it
should not be used for food This
fact was recognized in Wisconsin
long before the governments referee
board found that Doctor Remsen's
famous discovery was injurious. It
is interesting, not to say gratifying,
to note that it was Doctor Remsen
himself in conjunction with the board
of experts who made this second dis,
covery.
