is incredible. The baby's teeth come

A Physician on Food.

A physician of Portland, Oregon,
has views about food. He says:
Il have always believed that the
duty of the physician does not
cease with treating the sick, but
that we owe it to humanity to teach
them how to protect their health
especially by hygienic and dietetic
laws.
with such a feeling as to my
duty I take great pleasure in say
ing to the public that in my own
experience and also from personal
observation 1 have found no food
TO equal Grape-Nuts and that
find there is almost no limit to the
great benefit this food will bring
when used in all cases of sickness
and convalescence.
''It is my experience that no
physical condition forbids the use
of Grape-Nuts To persons in
health there is nothing so nourish-
ing and acceptable to the stom-
ach especially at breakfast to start
the machinery of the human system
on the days work. In cases of in
digestion I know that a complete
breakfast can be made of Grape
Nuts and cream and 1 think it is
necessary not to overload the stom-
ach at the morning meal. 1 also
know the great value of Grape-Nuts
when the stomach is too weak to
digest other food.

eQce of more than 20 years treat

diseases, and the letter is written

Albany, N. Y, Aug. 1S.-The Demo

vate use and swearing to a false state
ment of campaign receipts were halted
for hours by the realization of the
leaders that they lacked votes enough

the card bore an attack on Senator
F'rawley.
Members of the Frawley investigat-

ter. !
Govarnor SulZer sat behind the clos
ed doors of the executive chamber, in
terrupting his conference with friends
and counsel occasionally to send for
independent Democrats, Republican
and Progressive assemblymen and to
ascertain their views.
One Of these visitors, Assemblyman
Schaap, Progressive leader, told the
governor that he was convinced 'the
organization would crack the whip"
and get the votes to impeach him.
Governor Suffers champions are
chiefly Progressives and Republicans.
On the senate side, where will be tried
the articles of impeachment, every
Republican member met in informal
fashion at hotel and discussed the
situation. They decided to lay aside
their political affiliations should the
governor be impeached, and try the
case solely on it's merits. Their votes,
they said, would be cast, not as Re-
forgotten, in the gravity of the situa-|
ton, that they belonged to any politi-
cal party or organization.
The gathering in the governors Of
fee was swollen by the arrival Of Re-
publican and Progressive members
and number of Democrats who voted
against the organization. 80

A Stowaway !
i Deserter |

BY ALBERT T. KENYON
By ALBERT T. KE

The second, officer of the shipA Alba
tross runningl between New York and
Havana Ole morning walkedI aft
where the captain was standing talk
ing with Il passenger. The matetwas
conducting Il stowaway who had Just
been found concealed in, the hold. The
latter was Il man about twenty tyears
old and appeared to be healthy and
strong He was partlyl dressed in the
uniform of a United States soldier.
On his face was bitter, rebellious
look
"Who are you?" asked the captain
sternly.
"a deserter."
"You don't seem ashamed oft being
one"
1'Nor should l, seeing that 1 had a
tyrant for Il captain"
''Well, you'll have to work yourWay."
The deserter-stowaway was put
down among the coal heawers, where,
stripped to the waist he shoveled coal
into the furnace. The ship was off
Cape Hatteras when her rudGer post
broke and left her at the mercy Of
wind and waves, the former blowing
directly on shore. To put in new
post at sea in rough weather was not
to be thought Of Some expedient
must be made for gaining steerage
way temporarily; then the ship must
captain planned to fix chain to each
side of the rudder, bring an end Of
each chain up on to the deck, attach
both to a capstan and thus steer the
ship.
There was heavy iron ring on each
! side -of the rudder, and the intention
was to pass rope through the-xtng
chain to the ring by means Of the rope.
But how get the rope through the
rings? When the ships keel was on
a level the rings were five feet under
water. When the ship plunged down
a wave the stern was lifted and the
rings exposed. The problem was to
get the ropes through the rings when
they were thus raised above the sur
face. The only way was for a man to
be lowered On to the rudder, 60 down
with it and up again, putting the ropes
through the rings when they were at
the highest point. To suspend man
for the purpose would not avail. He
would likely be dashed against the
stern. To do his work he must cling
to the rudder.
The captain ordered the ships crew
lined up on deck and called for volun-
teers to do the work. Only one man
could work Mt time. The reason for
calling for a number was that 1t was
supposed several would be disabled be-
fore one succeeded
And so it proved. The first man was
lost by losing his grip. The second
was hauled up unconscious. The third
became benumbed, and the fourth was
killed by being dashed against the
ship's stern. That ended the volun-

teering, so lar as the crew was con-
cerned, and the work had not been
done
Then the stowaway, who bad come
on deck to see what was going ons
stepped forward and offered himself
for the next victim. The vessel was
approaching the coast, and death was
staring all on board in the face. The
offer was accepted as last hope. The
man had on only trousers and woolen
shirt, and his strength was apparent.
A rope was loOped under his shoul-
ders, the one to be attached was given.
him, and when the ship was about to
plunge he was quickly lowered.
Clinging to the rings, knowing that
he would not have time to do his work
before the stern would go down, he
waited to be submerged and rise again.
As he disappeared those leaning over
the stern to watch him wondered II
when the rudder came up he would be
there. Few expected that he would.
It was good minute before the rise
came but the stowaway came with 1t.
While the rudder was exposed he ran
the end ,of the rope through one ring.
Down again he went, was gone an
other minute, came up and this time
passed+the rope through the other ring.
A third stime he sank and rose, and be-
fore thetstern went down again he had
the rope% iooped around him. He was
pulled upland laid unconscious ON the
deck.
The one rope passed through the two
rings enabled the crew to get the
chains through and thus secure con-
troll of the rudder not ten minutes be-
fore the ship would have been bump
ing on the sands. The lives Of all be-
ing in danger, no one paid any atten-
ton to the stowaway till the rudder
was pulled by hand to port and the
ship, making a curve, stood out to
sea. Then the captain hurried to the
side of the man who had saved him,
