SAVED FROM RUIN
Undermining of Winchester Cath
edraI Stopped by Cement.
For Many Years the Historic Building
Has Been Cracking, Bullying and
Settling, Threatening to Col
lapse Completely.

London.-After a period of eight
centuries, Winchester cathedral now
rests on solid and immovable foun-
dalton, saved from threatened ruin.
Almost every day in the last few years
the movements of diver in regula-
ton dress have been watched with Gu
rious interest as he entered or emerg-
ed from the water beneath the fOunda-
lions of the cathedral. He was at
work helping to save from ruin one Of
England's noblest historic buildings,
and the successful issue of the under
taking has been celebrated by
thanksgiving service in the cathedral.
For several years the dean and chap
ter of Winchester had been watching
ominous signs, such as cracks, bulg-
ings and settlements, sure harbingers
of a collapse of the cathedral. From
the interior daylight could be seen
through the cracks; the latter grew
ever wider and wider. The walls on
the south side and the Norman tran
septs, unequaled for their majestic
simplicity, were riven in all directions.
The massive masonry of the Norman
builders had from the beginning
proved too ponderous for the watery,
compressible soil which forms the
foundation.
The first hole dug into the founda-
lions revealed the cause of the whole
trouble-water- and acting on expert
advice. holes were dug in sections
through the top soil and chalk and far
through the peat. Then it was the
work of the diver in his usual diving
dress to enter the hole, remove further
layers of peat SO as to allow the water
to rise into the cavity, and then to lay
q flooring of cement to prevent the wa
ter from sinking back into the gravel.
After the imprisoned water had been
removed by pumping the cavity was
filed up with brickwork in cement.
This extended from the floor laid by

That One Tnira Lacking.

Lady Augusta Gregory, the able and
ardent apostle of the modern Irish
movement, is fond Of telling the fol-
lowing real Irish story:
1T was the wedding day of Pat and
Bridget, and they. mere having a
church wedding. 1t was a grand af-
fair. Pat was dressed with patent
leather shoes, white vest and flaming
tie. Bridget shone attractively in
many colors. The ceremony was over,
and the happy pair walked down the
aisle, out into the street, where a
great crowd greeted them with delight
Once seated within the cab, Bridget
leaned over to Pat and said. in loud
whisper, Och, Pat. if we could only
have stood on the sidewalk and watch
ed ourselves pass, wouldn't it have
been hiviin'"

HOW MANY OF US

A Ky. lady, speaking about food,
says: II was accustomed to eating
all kinds of ordinary food until, for
some reason, indigestion and nervous
prostration set in.
after | had run down seriously
my attention was called to the neces-
sity of some change in my diet, and
| discontinued my ordinary breakfast
and began using Grape-Nuts with a
good quantity of rich cream.
In a few days my condition
changed in remarkable way, and /
began to have a strength that | had
never been possessed of before, a
vigor of body and poise of mind that
amazed me- 1t was entirely new in
my experience.
MY former attacks of indigestion
had been accompanied by heat flashes,
and many times my condition was dis
tressing WITH blind spells Of dizziness,
rush of blood to the head aud neural
gic pains in the chest.
Since using Grape-Nuts alone for
breakfast have been free from these
troubles, except at times when have
INDUCED in rich, greasy foods in guam
tity, then / would be warned by
pain under the left shoulder blade, and
unless needed the warning the old
trouble would come back, but when
finally got to know where these trou-
bles originated returned to my Grape
Nuts and cream and the pain and dis
tnrbance left very quickly.
Il am now in prime health as
result of my use of Grape-Nuts." Name

While the work underground was be-

Every crevice is now being repaired,
