AMONG THE HEAVY EATERS
Remarkable Gastronomic Feats That Are Hardly ReIievabie, Though
 All Authe ntic ateo.

Champion Fried Egg Eater of the Berkshires was the title of Louis Morris of Housatanic, Mass, before he entered in a recent egg eating contest on a wager He had a record of twen- ty-two eggs and the wager was on his contention that he could easily in- crease this record to twenty-five.

He also has a record for fifty-four ears of green corn
 At the beefsteak dinners of many political clubs astounding records are made in the consumtion of viands Some of those who take part think nothing of eating ten and twelve pounds of meat at the sitting. At one clambake held at College Point re- centfy eight baskets of food were eat en by one diner. This basket includ- ed a leg and breast of chicken, LWCHtJ CldllS, IWO Sdio Ol NoAh and four potatoes This record is de- clared acurate and authentic and is posted up in an East side clubroom.

Early Wall Paintinus.

It is probable that the earliest wall paintings were those of the Egyp- tians. Those people employed dis temper containing dissolved gum and their principal pigments were white chalk, vegetable yellow ochre. Ethi- opian cihnabar, blue powdered glass stained with copper and charcoal black. The walls of Assyrian and Babylonian dwellings were treated in much the same way, and the prac- tice was certainly in vogue in Assyria It has been believed that the Greeks understood true frescoe work, appor- ently on the strength of phrase oc. curing in Plutarch, ito paint on a wet ground" Vitruvius also speaks of a wet ground and says that colors placed on a surface so prepared are teristic of true frescoe work.

Genesis of Men of strs-u.

MT. Engelbacil, al English author in a new volume on humors of the law, relates the following queer bit of history:
 Some years ago men used to walk about openly in Westminster hall with a piece of straw in their boot. By this sign attorneys knew that such persons were in want of employment as false witnesses, and would give any evi dence required for money. For in stance, if an advocate wanted an obliging witness he would go to one of these men and show him a fee which if not sufficient, the witness would not take any notice of. The fee was then increased until its weight recalled the power of memory to a sufficient extent. By this they derived their name, Men of Straw Harp er's Weekly

souroe of strennth.

We do not flatter ourselves that the intellect of our time, judged by the power of individuals, is exceptionally great No doubt, men of commanding genius are still with us, but they are not more numerous or more original than in former times. What then is the peculiarity that has produced such great results? In my opinion what has been accomplished is due in great part to the spread of higher education, which has evolved an army of compe- tent investigators possessing enthusi- asm for research which now, for the first time, is led into useful paths by the few great minds, whose powers thus receive a wider range and be come more productive. It is in this that our great strength lies.-Prof. Arthur Schuster in Science.

CUBS FOOD They Thrive on Grape-Nuts.

Healthy babies don't cry and the well-nourished baby that is fed on Grape-Nuts is never a crying baby. Many babies who cannot take any other food relish the perfect food, Grape-Nuts, and get well.
 My baby was given up by three doctors who said that the condensed milk on which l had fed her had ruined the child's stomach. One of the doctors told me that the only thing to do would be to try Grape Nuts, so got some and prepared it as follows: I soaked IF tablespoonfuls in one pint of cold water for half an hour, then strained off the liquid and mixed 12 teaspoonfuls of this strained Grape-Nuts juice with six teaspoonfuls of rich milk, put in pinch of salt and little sugar, warmed 1t and gave II to baby every two hours.
 Tn this simple, easy way saved baby'S life and have built her up to 8 strong, healthy child, rosy and laugh ing. The food must certainly be per feet to have such wonderful effect as this. I can truthfully say 1 think it is the best food in the world to raise delicate babies on and Is also a delicious healthful food for grown-ups as we have discovered ill our family.
 Grape-Nuts is equally valuable to the strong. healthy man or woman It stands for the true theory of health s.There's a reason" and it is explained in the little book, "The Road to We'll ville," in pkgs. ~
