Whenever on one of his rare holidays
Captain Colby went to the city he
took some young relative with him as
a special treat. On one such occasion
he told his seventeen-year-old grand
son. whom he had with him. that they
would dine at a real RESTRAINT and get
a taste of fancy cooking"
When they were at last seated in the
great dining room the grandson waited
impatiently while the captain read the
bill Of fare completely through with
out emitting q single article, whether
domestic or foreign in title. At last
he sighed and handed the card across
the table to the boy.
You choose what you like. sonny"
he said, with a sigh. "As for me, l

than any other man livin' I might as
well stow away a little more. It's

Sun or Heat as Maker of Badness.


The fact that savages almost always

the fact that they do not wear hats,
has led some people to believe that 60

article quoted by the Medical Record
points out that the action of the suns
rays upon the head Is injurious not
only to the hair. but to the whole sys-

Berlin.-The Prussian diet is now
giving its formal official consideration
to project for taxing bachelors. The
original bill has been amended so as
to make the tax effective only in the
case of unmarried men whose income
exceeds $3.50 a year.
Such men will be called upon in
case the bill passes to pay a tax of
from ten to twenty per cent higher
than married men with correspond
ing incomes
The bachelor tax will take the form
Of an income sur-tax. The idea of the
legislators who are backing the bill is
that men who have have to support
wives or children ought not, in jus
tice, be compelled to pay as much to-
ward the support of the state as men
who are leading the care-free. ire
sponsible lives of bachelors.
The project is fathered by the con-
servatives of the diet and has every
prospect of becoming a law

WANTED TO FINISH THE JOB

They were going along the public

miles per hour, when a decrepit hep

The front and hind wheels on the

Then louder, to her husband, she
said: George, remember that ap-

NEVER TIRES
Of the Food That Restored Her to
Health.

Something was making me i'll and
I didn't know the cause" writes a
Colo. young lady: For two years I
was thin and sickly, suffering from in
digestion and inflammatory rheuma-
tism.

and many of the remedies recommend
ed, but got no better
Finally, Mother suggested that
try Grape-Nuts, and 1 began at once,
eating it with a little cream or milk.
A change for the better began at once.
To-day l am well and am gaining
weight and strength all the time. I've
gained 10 lbs in the last five weeks
and do not suffer any more from in
digestion, and the rheumatism is all
gone.
Il know it is to Grape-Nuts alone
that I owe my restored health. 1 still
eat the food twice day and never
tire of it." Name given by Postum
Co., Battle Creek, Mich.
The favour of Grape-Nuts is peculiar
to itself. 1t is neutral, not too sweet
and has an agreeable, healthful quality
that never grows riresome.
One of the sources of rheumatism is
from overlooking the system with
acid material, the result of imperfect
digestion and assimilation.
AS soon as improper food is aban-
doned and Grape-Nuts is taken regu-
larly. digestion is made strong, the
organs do their work of building UP
good red blood cells and of carrying
away the excess Of disease-making
material from the system
