When thru the main part Of

negro who followed her from the
depot. and In the struggle her
clothing was badly torn and she
was frightened very badly

vented her giving the alarm and
bluffing the black brute. who
took TO his heels and ran back

Several suspects were arrested

average today. In 1888, for
Pittsburg, he led alright felders,

such men as "Silent Mike" Tier

WENT BACK ON THE SHELVES

Perhaps the titterest moment in the
life of lover of books is when he
finds that his treasures are valued by
no one but himself The late Prof.
Churton Collins once tried to weed
out his books, after he had become
convinced that either the surplus or
their owner would have to move out
Of the library.
The wedding was a painful process,
but at last the secondhand book-deal
er was invited to name his price for
the uprooted weeds" They're no
good to me-" was the disconcerting re,
ply.
What, none of them?"
mo, not one"
Some one suggested that as the
books had to go, the dealer had bet
ter have them for nothing. 1t was a
bitter moment for Mr.. Collins, but
finally he assented. The man then re-
marked:
"Thatll be half dollar"
What do you mean? What for?'
exclaimed the victim in restrained
tone of voice.

That was too much for Mr.. Collins
The dealer was driven forth with OBJ

DOCTORS SHIFT.
Now Gets Along Without Il.

A physician says: Until last fall
used to eat meat for my breakfast and
suffered with indigestion until the
meat had passed from the stomach.
Last fall began the use of Grape
Nuts for breakfast and very soon
found l could do without meat, for my
body got all the, nourishment neces.
sary from the Grape-Nuts and since
then have not had any indigestion
and am feeling better and have in
creased in weight.
"Since finding the benefit derived
from Grape-Nuts l have prescribed the
food for all my patients suffering from
indigestion or over-feeding and also
for those recovering from disease
where I want food easy to take and
certain to digest and which will not
overtax the stomach.
Il always find the results look for
when l prescribe Grape-Nuts. For
ethical reasons please omit my name"
Name given by mail by Postum Co.,
Battle Creek, Mich.
The reason for the wonderful
amount Of nutriment, and the easy
digestion Of Grape-Nuts 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 it 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
easily noticed after one has eaten
Grape'Nuts each day for week or
ten days
