A man does not count as wasted the
time he spends in thinking over his
business, but he seems 10th to give
the same sort of careful attention to
himself and to his health And yet
his business would be worth little
without good health to care for 1t. A
business man tells how he did him
self good by carefully thinking over
his physical condition, investigating to
find out what was needed, and then
changing to the right food.
For some years had been bother
ed a great deal after meals. My food
seemed to lay like lead in my stomach.
producing heaviness and dullness and
sometimes positive pain. OF course
this rendered me more or less unfit
for business, and made up my mind
that something would have to be done.
Reflection led me to the conclusion
that over-eating, filling the stomach
with indigestible food, was responsible
for many of the ills that human flesh
endures, and that was Furnishing
myself In that way-that was what
was making me so dull, heavy and I'M
comfortable, and unfit for business
after meals. concluded to try Grape
Nuts food to see what 1t could do for
me.
II have been using 1t for some
months now, and am glad to say that
do not suffer any longer after meals;
my food seems to assimilate easily
and perfectly, and to do the work for
which it was intended

termination to acquire both Texas ana

counters the baroness and assists her IN

States did not annex Texas within 80 days
she would lose both Texas and oregon.
Calhoun orders Trist to head party

1 ost Mustache While He Slept.

DR. Charles Auer Of Nyack was
very angry man when he arrived home
minus his black mustache, OF which
he was proud, says dispatch to the
New York Herald His loss was dis
covered when he awoke about six
o'clock at the camp conducted every
year by the boys Of Grace Episcopal
church. That Is, part of his loss was
discovered; this was that some Of the
boys had cut off one-half Of his mus
tache in the night.
DR.. Auer is employed at the Tar
rytown hospital He visited the camp
with the Rev. e. l.. Reed, curate OF
Grace church, and laughingly told the
campers of efforts to persuade him to
cut off his adornment.
Some of the boys after midnight
crept into the physicians bunk, and
armed with scissors, did the dark deed
while the physician slumbered,
When DR.. Auer discovered what
had happened he obtained rowboat
and went to Haverstraw, half mile
above the camp, where he sought a
barber and had the Job completed.

FOR DOCT0RING OF PLANTS
English Institution of instruction Is
Declared to Be Easily the Best
si the World.

London possesses the best institu-
ton for the instruction OF doctors of
plants" that exists anywhere. For
years botany suffered from a too
academic treatment, noE being
sufficiently in touch with the
practical needs of man, but the
labors of the London institution,
as we'll as those of similar
nature elsewhere, bid fair to be OF
much benefit to the world in general
The institution referred to is the
botanical department Of the Imperial
College of Science in South Kenslng-
ton, where vegetable physiology and
pathology are studied IN the most ap-
proved style. This department is
training a new race OF plant doctors
young men who will be as we'll ac'
quainted with plant disease as with
the character and constitution OF
plants.
The tendency now is more and more
to study advanced science from the

young men who are able to deal with
plant diseases and plant sanitation.
This demand is largely In connection
with big tropical and colonial indus
tries, such as rubber sugar, tobacco
cinchona and cotton growing, IL
should be borne in mind. when con-
sidering the scope Of the London In
stitution, that the sole value OF very
large area of the British colonial pos
sessions depends entirely on the value
of their vegetable products and that
millions are lost every year through
preventable causes. There is ample
scope for such work In every country
There is constant trouble with crops
