OTHERS KNOW US TOO WELL
Easy to Deceive Ourselves, but the
Rest Of the World 10 Generally
Too Wise.

Senator Pomerene has a happy
knack OF driving home a statement
with an epigram
At luncheon Senator Pomerene
described would-be litterateur.
Thanks to whisky and strong
cigars" he said. the poor fellow has
failed to make good. He earns a pre-
carious living by newspaper work.
but, though he is so now, none Of the
wondrous novels and thrilling stories
that he used to prate about have ap-
peared
And yet, in his shabby apartment,
over a bottle of cheap liquor and a
box Of cheap cigars. he Will boast by
the hour-poor. gray, wrinkled duffer
OF his unfinished MSS. Oh. they
will appear yet, Yes. he will yet H.
lumine the world with the light OF his
genius"
Senator Pomerene sighed and con-
cluded
"Ah. II we could deceive others as
easily as We deceive ourselves. what
regulations we'd all have to be sure!"

Frank H. Hitchcock. the postmaster
general Of the United States, takes the

details OF the postal service. One eve

Washington. when he decided to go
into one of the railway mail-service
into one of the railway mail-service
cars to see how the mail matter was
being handled. Being a tall man and
very athletic, he easily swung himself
from the platform into the car, but he
did not find 1t an easy matter to stay
put. A burly postal clerk grabbed
him by the shoulders, propelled him
toward the side door, and practi-
cally elected him to the platform be-
low.
What do you mean by that?" ask
ed Hitchcock Indignantly.
Il mean to keep you out Of this
car" replied the clerk roughly. That
fellow Hitchcock has given us strict
orders to keep all strangers out OF
these cars."-Popular Magazine.

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, as
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 q change from
indigestible foods to Grape-Nuts will
work wonders in not only relieving
the distress but in building up
strong digestion, clear brain and
steady nerves. A Wash. woman
writes:
