GOOD NIGHTS SLEEP
No Medicine So Beneficial to Brain
and Nerves.

Lying awake nights makes it hard
to keep awake and do things in day
time. To take "tonics and stimulants"
under such circumstances is like set
ting the house on fire to see If you
can put 1t out.
The right kind OF food promotes re-
freshing sleep at night and a wide
awake individual during the day.
A lady changed from her old way Of
eating Grape-Nuts, and says:
For about three years l had beer

After trying several kinds of medicine,
the doctor would ask me to drop off
POTATOES, then meat, and SO on, but in
g few days that craving. gnawing feel
ing would start up, and l would vomit
everything I ate and drank.
when 1 started on Grape-Nuts, vom-
iting stopped, and the bloated feeling
which was so distressing disappeared
entirely.

with diarrhoea before commencing the
Grape-Nuts, because her stomach was

WILLING to Obliqe.

A story comes from a town where
firms advertise to sell fish direct to
small purchasers. The glowing ad
vertisements asked for the sending
of half a dollar with list of the va
rieties of fish preferred. One letter
read:
Il want two salmon, a dozeh -:hit

add a lobster.
The next day the lady received
letter, which ran:

Sinqinq and the Lungs.

It is we'll known that singing, like
whistling, is a fine exercise for the
lungs, and some doctors advise those
who fear consumption to go in for
singing for this reason.
At the same time they, of course,
do not advance the claim that singing
alone will save anyone from or cure
consumption. Acquire the habit OF
taking the big deep breath, which is a
primary requisite of any kind of sing
ing, bad or good, and the physical
Joy derived from it gill never allow
you to relapse into lazy breathing.

rious than anything else. The details
are not complete, because Mr.. Ladd is
rather reticent in regard to the inter
mission in their courtship. 1t Is
known, however, that he met a Miss
Mat MacCallum Of Albany, that they
became engaged, and that he gave her
the engagement ring.
Probably he became engaged to
Miss MacCallum while piqued over
losing Miss Carberry. At any rate,
Miss MacCallum wore the ring for
nearly month. Then it disappeared
as mysteriously as it had done before.
The girl either was deceitful or
rather frightened over the loss, and
instead Of confessing it she wrote
and broke the engagement and stated
that she never had cared enough for
him to marry him and that their en-.
gagement had been a mistake. She
did not mention the ring.
Ring Returns to Owner.
Three days after he received the
letter from Miss MacCallum he re-
ceived a nice little note from Miss
Carberry. She thanked him for send
ing the ring, showing her that in
spite of misunderstanding he still
trusted her. The ring, she said, was
left on her desk in the office where
she was employed, without message,
but she understood it to mean that he
was weary of their foolish quarrel.
Puzzled and upset over the affair,
Laid called upon her, and after be-
ing convinced that there was no
danger he confessed everything and
was forgiven. They agreed to be
married in three weeks and Laid
jokingly insisted that wedding ring
was necessary to hold that engage
ment ring on her finger.
Ring Found on Ladd's Desk.
Two nights afterward the ring dis.
appeared again, while she slept, Miss
Carberry insisted, and the following
day Laid found it circling twisted
Spite of paper on his desk. On the
paper were two words, "Ha! Hal"
written in large, bold hand, and
those two words furnish the only
clew to the mystery.
Instead of writing Laid went direct
to the home of his fancee and de-
manded to know whether she were
triling with him. The result was
another quarrel and separation,
more tears, and they parted, Miss
Carberry declaring she never wanted
to see his face again. He stood it
month, then wrote, begging forgive
ness. After proper time he was per-
mitted to call to explain"
Laid proved resourceful that time.
He brought new engagement ring,
and he pledged himself to throw the
other away if she would accept him
again. She agreed that if the new
ring would remain on her finger for
two months she would marry him and
they would know that the other ring
was hoodooed.
For two months the new ring
sparkled on the third finger of her
left hand. Then the date was set
and a short time ago they ran down
to Atlantic City for a little outing and
threw away the hoodooed ring that
had caused them SO much trouble

1t was not on the floor, on the table,

Maybe you slipped it off for fear
Joe would see you were engaged"
suggested Ladd hopefully and tact
fully.
Miss Carberry Indignantly denied
this, and called his attention to the
fact that she had been proud when
he introduced her as his fiancee. They
parted with increased GOODNESS. Ladd
said he was glad the ring was lost, but
he did not say it as if he meant it,
Another misunderstanding that lasted
for weeks resulted, and then there
was a quarrel, and the engagement
was broken again.

engagement the ring made it's reap

That time Miss Carberry wore the
ring exactly seven days, and was so

finger. On the seventh day, a Sunday,

of Sousa and his band seems unabat-

pieces they play are of an inspiring,

are given with marvellous precision
and an execution well nigh perfect.
Many of the bands distinctive fea,

in such points as unanimous phrasing
and majesty of tone, combined with
huge volume, and an absence OF any
rough and strident quality, the band
might serve as model to many IA
