FROM THE NORTH COUNTRY
Where the Winters Are Cold and the
Shows Deep.

Writing from the vicinity David
Harum made famous, a man says that
he was an habitual coffee drinker, and,
although he knew it was doing him
harm, was too obstinate to give it up,
till all at once he went to pieces with
nervousness and insomnia, loss of ap-
petite, weakness, and a generally
used-up feeling, which practically un-
fitted him for his arduous occupation,
and kept him on a couch at home
when his duty did not call him out.
While in this condition Grape
Nuts food was suggested to me, and
began to use it. Although it was in
the middle Of winter, and the Their
mometer was often below zero, almost
my entire living for about six weeks
of severe exposure was on Grape-Nuts
food with a little bread and butter and
a cup Of hot water, till I was wise
enough to make Postum my table bev-
erage.
After the first two weeks 1 began
to feel better and during the whole
winter I never lost a trip on my mail
route, frequently being on the road
or hours at a time.

how person could do the amount OF
work and endure the fatigue and hard
ship as I did, on so small an amount
OF food. But 1 found my new rations
SO perfectly satisfactory that I have
continued them-using both Postum
and Grape-Nuts at every meal, and
often they comprise my entire meal.
All my nervousness, irritabiIity and
insomnia have disappeared and healthy,
natural sleep has come back to me-.
But what has been perhaps the great
est surprise to me is the fact that
with the benefit to my general health
has come remarkable improvement
in my eye-sight.

good eye-sight, strong nerves and an
active brain are to be desired, / can

not the advance agent of some theater
company or he would have hung a

Eagle hotel the first thing Since
there were no show bills in evidence,
he must be a salesman even though
he carried no sample trunks. Outside
OF Col. Carr and his guests at the old
Carr homestead, the only well dressed

For two or three days Waterbury
idled about the town, driving occasion

about the hotel, the center of the
towns gossip. Then he furnished a
real sensation. He had taken title to
the west side of Bailey's pond.
He got it, sure enough" declared
Hawkins. I saw the papers. He's
got the old Bailey place and strip of
the Mehan farm and ten acres from
the old Coon farm. That gives him
about two-thirds of the pond Won't
the old colonel be mad, though, when
he finds out? I know he wanted to

CarFsville had been the home of the
Carr family for century and a quar-
