 There is no sense in giving 1t pill or a remedy containing an opiate, nor is flushing of the bowels to be always recommended. Rather give it a small dose of a mild, gentle laxative tonic like Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin, which, by cleaning out the bowels and

oattleship Maine, which sank beneath
the waters of Havana harbor in Feb
ruary, 1898, as the result of an ex-
plosion, was blown up from the out
SIDE This was announced Saturday
BY the naval board which has been
examining the wreck. The finding
confirms the report of the original in
vestigators who made superficial
examination of the wreck shortly after
the disaster.
The statement given out by the
navy department is brief. Secretary
Meyer does not believe it necessary
70 issue any extended explanation of
The boards conclusions, except the flat
statement that an exterior explosion
was responsible.
The declaration that a Glow form of
explosive" was used in the outside
explosion indicates a belief that a
mine and not dirigible torpedo was
the instrument of destruction. This
only deepens the mystery. A mine
charged with sufficient gunpowder to
blow in the bottom of the ship must
have weighed several hundred pounds.
To plant such mine and lay the cleo
tric connections necessary for it's dis
charge would have required the serv-
Ices of a number of men.

THE LITTLE WIDOW
A Mighty Good Sort of Neighbor to
Have.

"A little widow, neighbor of mine,
persuaded me to try Grape-Nuts when
my stomach was SO weak that 1t
would not retain food of any other
kind" writes a grateful woman, from
San Bernardino Co., Cal.
81 had been ill and confined to my
bed with fever and nervous prostra-
tion for three long months after the
birth of my second boy. We were In
despair until the little widows advice
brought relief.
"I 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 day. In
months my weight increased from 95
to 113 pounds, my nerves had steadied
down and I 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. l 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 it. | will
