Man Dies After Fifty Years Silence

81 years ago two fishermen found him

Although he undoubtedly possessed

Comeau and the latter's sons and
daughters. During all of this time
"Gerome" had remained a mystery to

Of their adopted country after their ex.

KEEPING BABIES IN HEALTH
Success Of Tent Scheme Last Sum-
mer So Pronounced That u
Will Be Repeated.

Mothers of little babies that suffered
much from the intense heat in the
early part OF July last summer will be
interested In the success OF the baby
tent" scheme adopted In some of the
big cities.
The tents are placed on fiat roofs OF
tall buildings and in open lots. with
eight little cradles or cots In each
tent When all was ready mothers
OF babies under two years were invited
to leave them at the nearest available
tent over night, SO that the young
sters. In addition to enjoying the privi-
lege OF sleeping out OF doors. could
also receive the attention of trained
nurses and doctors free.
Some OF the tents have a perforated
Iron pipe extending along the ridge
pole and connected with the city water
supply. On very hot nights the water
was turned on and allowed TO stream
down over the canvas. BY evapora-
ton II greatly reduced the tempera-
ture inside the tents. Some Of the
tents were also kept cool by the use
OF large blocks OF Ice In tubs before
the entrance. Electric fans blew the
cold air from the Ice into the tents
sufficiently to keep the babies comfort
ably cool.
This is the way some OF the poor
babies are being cared for. but the
ideas could be utilized by any one who
had the welfare of the baby at heart.

Physicians from all parts OF the

that he might have spoken had he de-

Name given by mail by Postum Co..
Battle Creek. Mich.
The reason for the wonderful
amount Of nutriment. and the easy
digestion of GrapeNuts Is not hard to
find.
In the first place. the starchy part
OF the wheat and barley goes through
various processes OF cooking, to per-
fectly change the starch into dextrose
or grape-sugar. In which state II Is
ready to be easily absorbed by the
blood.
The parts in the wheat and barley
which Nature can make use OF for re.
building brain and nerve centers are
retained In this remarkable food, and
thus the human body is supplied with
the powerful strength producers. so
