a broad, fiat nearly oval head and body and a
tail something like that possessed by the ma
Jority of wellknown fishes. Its mouth Is on
the under side and 1t can only feel the way to
1t when feeding. But the real curiosity about
this fish is the fact that 1t carries Its own stor
age battery with II on all its wanderngs and
that 1t has the power of recharging the thou
sands Of little cells when they become exhaust
ed, using Its power over and over again. There
are really two batteries. They located
where one would naturally expect to find the
breathing apparatus of the fish, to the right
and the left of the beady black eyes and back.
They are kidney shaped occupying perhaps
one-third of the upper part of the body
When at peace with itself and the rest OF
the world the torpedo fish swims around at
leisure or rests In shallow water, burrowing
in the sand at ease but If attacked the battery
Is discharged and the enemy is glad to call it

prey by using its batteries to supply the neces-
sary current to kill. but It must first complete

and have caught them in nets, but on handling
them have been very glad to let them go and

1t is evident that common sense re-
quires everybody everywhere to have
on hand, ready for immediate use, the
one standard remedy for all skin trou-
bles. 1t is Resinol Ointment, put up
in screw-top opal containers and sell
ing at fifty cents or a dollar, according
to size. This ointment should occupy
a prominent place in every bathroom,
on every medicine shelf and in every
travelling bag, that it may be ready
for immediate use. Resinol Ointment
does not contain a particle of lead or
mercury or other poison. 1t is abso-
lutely non-irritant, and cannot injure
the most delicate skin. It is highly
recommended by physicians and
nurses. For years Resinol Ointment
has remained the standard remedy,
noted for it's effectiveness and COM
plete harmlessness. 1t is sold BY
druggists everywhere.

STRONGER THAN MEAT
A Judges Opinion Of Grape-Nuts.

A gentleman who has acquired ju-
iicial turn Of mind from experience
On the bench out in the Sunfower
State writes a carefully considered
opinion as to the value Of Grape-Nuts
as food. He says:
For the past years Grape-Nuts
has been a prominent feature in our
bill Of fare.
The crisp food with the delicious,
nutty favor has become an indis-
pensable necessity in my family's
everyday life.
1T has proved to be most healthful
and beneficial, and has enabled US to
practically abolish pastry and pies
hom our table, for the children prefer
Grape.Nuts, and do not crave rich and
unwholesome food.
"Grape-Nuts keeps US all in perfect
physical condition-as a preventive Of
disease it is beyond value l have been
particularly impressed by the benef-
cial effects Of Grape-Nuts when used
by ladies' who are troubled with face
blemishes, skin eruptions, etc. 1t
clears up the complexion wonderfully.
"As to its nutritive qualities, my ex-
perience is that one small dish Of
Grape-Nuts Is superior TO a pound Of
meat for breakfast, which is an impor-
tant consideration for anyone. 1t sat
isfes the appetite and strengthens the
power of resisting fatigue, while its
use involves none of the disagreeable
consequences that sometimes follow

There does not seem TO be a very clear rec
ord OF just when the American export trade in
apples had Its beginnings, but probably it be
gan on a small scale almost as soon as the low
ars of the good things of earth discovered what
precious boon is the mealy sphere with it's
refreshing, thirst-Quenching propensties. The
lands over seas have acquired their enthusiasm
for American apples partly because they have
already had the best grade of the fruit served
TO them. There are two explanations of this.
On the one hand there is the consideration that
only good grade of apple of certain varieties
has the keeping quality to permit Of its ex-
portation,-a transfer that means that weeks
and more likely months must intervene be-

Most members of the royal family have had
from time to time many interesting and anus
Ing adventures when going about in disguise.
They are able to escape for a little while from
the rigid etiquette and ceremony that normally
surround them, and to enjoy degree Of free
dom very welcome to them.
King George as prince of Wales had many
adventures in different parts Of London in
various DISCUSSES. which enabled his majesty
to obtain close insight into the different
phases of life among many of his subjects.
Pearson's Weekly says.
One of the most interesting adventures King
George has had in disguise was visit his
majesty paid to big railway goods yard some
years ago on an occasion when there was an
enormous pressure of heavy goods traffic The
king then duke of York, went to the yard at
II D. m, accompanied by member Of the royal
household. Both were dressed in the garb of
working men who were waiting in the yard
until midnight on the chance of being taken
on for the night shift If the work was specially
heavy.
Only few of the railway officials were aware
that the heir to the throne was standing among
the squad of hungry men eagerly and anxiously
waiting the arrival of the foreman, who might
pick out some of the most robust among them
to aid in shifting the mountain of goods from
the trucks to the clearing sheds during the
night.
For nearly an hour the prince watched the
work proceeding in the big yard under the
white glare of the arc lamps with immense in
terest, and chatted to the men about him, en-
tering thoroughly into the spirit of their rough
but good humored chaff few minutes before
midnight one of tko t~way officials who was
aware of the presente of the prince came up to
his royal highness and stood by him. minute
later the foreman arrived and after casting
searching glance over the squad before him.

pay for such delicacies The poorest classes
in Europe eat the yields of our wheat and corn
fields and if We could not sell our wheat and
corn at reasonable prices, they would be
obliged to pass them by and eat rice or some
other food staple that could be obtained at
prices within their means. With apples, how
ever, the situation is very different. The fancy
varieties that find way to alien shores each
apple neatly wrapped in its individual piece Of
paper must perforce demand good prices
and consequently thus far the only sale is
