LIKE MAGIC"
New Food Makes Wonderful Changes.

When a man has suffered from dys'
pepsia so many years that he can't re-
member when he had a natural appe-
tite, and then hits on way out or
trouble he may be excused Cor saying
1T acts like magic
When it is a simple, wholesome
food instead of any one of a large num-
Der of so called remedies in the form
of drugs, he is more than ever likely
to feel as though sort of miracle has
been performed.
A Chicago man, in the delight of re-
stored digestion, puts it in this way:
Like magic, fittingly describes the
manner in which Grape-Nuts relieved
me of poor digestion, coated tongue
and loss of appetite, of many years
Standing.
Il tried about every medicine that
was recommended to me, without re-
lief. Then l tried Grape-Nuts on the
suggestion of a friend. BY the time
I had finished the fourth package, my
stomach was all right, and for the past
two months l have been eating with
a relish anything set before me. That
is something had been unable to DO
previously for years.
81 am stronger than ever and con-
slider the effects OF Grape-Nuts on a
weak stomach as something really
wonderful. 1t builds up the entire
body as well as the brain and nerves"

The Main Question.

81. Pierpont Morgan" said clergy
man, hated the dissension that some
times springs up between high church
and low. Apropos of all such reli-
gious dissension, he used to tell
story about a wise old colored man,
Calhoun Clay.
Cal a gentleman once inquired,
what denomination do you belong to?
1 thing l see you sometimes making
for the chapel, but don't you think
you'd do better TO come to us?'
Dress yo' heart, sonny chuckled

Profiting by Superstition.

After having sat on many juries the
observant man Is of the opinion that
the whole human race is still strongly
taTred with the brush of superstition.
81 am confirmed in that belief by
the amount of damages invariably
voted to plaintiffs, whose injuries
smack of superstitious origin" he
said. "If load of bricks should fall
from a fifth story window on to the
head OF a man who happened to be
walking under ladder he would get
twice as much damages as If the lad
der were not there. The element of
bad luck that attaches to ladder
would insensibly influence every
Juror, and the sum awarded would re-
aect their prejudices and sympathies."

Our plan of getting rid of quack

soil it will not do to turn up the raw

very desirable, and will make the

DISTRICT TO START
GASOLINE CRUSADE
Automobiles Are Cheated BY
Dealers in Fuel, Is Report of
Public Official.

A systematic crusade against deal
ers in gasolene and oils who sell "un-
der measure quantities to automo-
bilists was started by the District
Sealer Of Weights and Measures Of
flee today with the filing in the Po-
lice Court OF informations against
several dealers. More warrants will
be issued. it is said. within a few
days.
That many automobilists of the city
are being cheated by dealers in gaso-
lene is the declaration Of the District
authorities who have been investigat-
ing the matter. Many of the places
where gasolene is sold are fitted up
with devices by which gasolene is
pumped into machines in such a man
ner that the owner cannot tell in
how Sreat a degree he is being cheat
ed. II is Impossible for the inspectors
to keep these appliances in proper
order and consequently the automo-
bile owners suffer.
Another manner in which automo-
bilists do not get the amount Of gas
olene they bargain for is by the use
OF cans with indentations. A sys-
tematic means of dispensing this oil
is being considered by the authorities
and will very likely be put into ef-
feet as soon as the prosecutions Of Of
tenders take place.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa. July s.-The
University of Pennsylvania has just dis
covered that 1t owns what Is believed to
be the first picture of the plow invented
by Abraham centuries ago. The picture
has on II one of the seals which the
Egyptians impressed upon every import
ant document they desired to keep in
their archives.
Plows were undoubtedly used before
the time Of this invention. but the
Abraham plow is a combination seeder
and planter, and, according to the in
scription on the picture, three men were
necessary to operate It.
The picture was made upon a Babylon
ian brick, which was the custom in
those days, and DR.. Clay, the director
Of the museum, by pafnstaking work.
made an impression of the picture with
Its attached seal, and in a study Of the
implement. found that plows of the
same kind are used in Babylonia today
Just as they were 300 years ago.
The Washington times., 1913-07-09

As proof Of the assertion that Abra-
ham was the inventor OF the plows, DR..
Clay refers to the Book of Jubilees,
which was published in the second CEN
tury B. c. This tells how the native
Babylonians were punished when they
yielded to Satan.
The fowls of the air were sent to eat
the grain which they had sowed In their
fields, and. according to the authority
cited, which Is an Hebraic version Of
Genesis, Abraham devised this imple-
ment so that the people need no longer
fear the ravens.
The apparatus had an attachment
which reached through the ground as
tube and into wich the seeds were
poured. Then there was a vessel above
the ground facing the frame of the plow
which was used as a receptacle for the
seed, and then the ordinary harrow
which titled the land was attached to
the back Of the plow.
The Babylonians sowed and titled ac-
cording to Abraham's commands, and
with his invention they feared neither
the ravens nor any other birds.

When you wash your face do you
