Man-Eater Pulled in From Deck
of Ocean Liner.
Young Tourist In Casting Lines In
Water for Amusement When She
Gets a Real Bite and Makes
Record Catch.

New York.-Shark fishing has long
since assumed the proportions of a
gentle art down Costa Rlca way, ao-
cording to the stock tales of return
Ing tourists, but 1t remained for a win
some Brooklyn girl-Miss Cecilo des
Place-to startle the natives with a
catch that set angler tongues wag-
ging all up and down the wild coast,
With fifteen minutes fishing to her
credit, Miss Des Place landed a 800
pound man-eating shark that set the
populace OF Port Limon by the ears
and caused her name to be displayed
In scarehead type in the Costa Rican
dailies. Her coup was set down as
an epoch marker in a country where
men haul up the monsters OF the deep
for living and make big catches ev-
cry day OF the week.
Miss Des Place arrived home aboard
the neutrality-suspicious. liner Prinz
August Wilhelm. and In her travelling
bag were several long teeth pulled
from the head of her big sensational
catch as souvenirs. She intends to
have them appropriately mounted and
set up as an ornament In her parlor
OF the Des Place home in Brooklyn.
The pretty shark catcher manifested
considerable difldence In discussing
her coup over at the pier the other

Another feature that every woman
likes is the large linen closet. Where

other things that you want to refer

The roof of this house is different
from ordinary houses. which fact
alone is something to recommend it,
because every house should have a
distinct individuality as different as
possible from the ordinary. You get
tired OF seeing a great many houses
in the neighborhood all topped with
the same style of roof. A roof means
a good deal. both in appearance and
comfort. A steep roof like this will

NO MEDICINE
But Change Of Food Gave Final Relief.

Most diseases start in the alimen-
tary canal-stomach and bowels.
A great deal of our stomach and
bowel troubles come from eating too
much starchy and greasy food.
The stomach does not digest any
OF the starchy food we eat-white
bread, pastry, potatoes, oats, etc.
these things are digested in the small
intestines, and II we eat too much, az
most of us do. the organs that should
digest this kind OF food are overcome
by excess of work, so that fermenta.
ton. indigestion, and long train OF
ails result.
Too much fat also is hard to digest
and this is changed into acids. sour
stomach, belching gas, and a bloated,
heavy feeling.
In these conditions a change from
indigestible foods to Grape-Nuts will
work wonders In not only relieving
the distress but In building up q
strong digestion, clear brain and
steady nerves. A Wash. woman
