HUNG BY TOES 15o FEET IN AIR. c. Weisgraber, Formerly of Norwich, Won $1o Bet by PeriIous Stunt at Portland, Me.

A former Norwich man writes to The Bulletin the following account of the activities of another young man who formerly lived in this city, whom he met recently in Maine:
 C. Weisgraber, a former Norwich young man, startled a number of Port land, Me, people last month with a great display of nerve and cool headed ness while painting one of the Lewis railway company'S high tension towers on the banks of the Kennebec river The young man. who is now a steeple- jack, in company with H. c. Parker, known as Steeple Hal, has on several occasions showed a nerve of steel On this particular occasion he was up 150 feet. singing and painting, when he was suddenly noticed to clib to the peak of the tower and hang by his toes till his partner said it was O. K reporter of the Kennebec Journal an interview to find out what the dis play was for. He saw the young dare devil on the street that evening and learned that it was done on a $1O bet. When asked if he was scared any, Mir. Weisgraber said that was the easiest S10 he ever earned and hopes he can earn some more just as easy. The young man had quite a writeup in the Portland papers and also when they did work in Taunton, Mass. They had to inspect the 205 tfoot spire on the Baptist church in Taunton and of course the usual crowd gathered.
 People in Norwich who are acquaint- ed with MT. Weisgraber will be pleased to hear that in spite of the slack times in the United States, there is one Norwich man who is making good.

constantinopIe Cement PIan...

Two factories furnish the greater part Of the cement available fin the consular district of ConstantinopIe. Their combined yearly output is 45O. o0o to 5o0.0Oo sacks, all of which is at present being taken by the military authorities The quality of this product varies, but Is always poor. there being no uniformity as to either hardness or color. Student -Interpre- ter Charles E. Allen. Constanttnople. says the point. with reference to ce- ment, that should be of particular tn- terest to the American exporter is that, with the close of war, building construction is certain to be begun on a large scale in this part of the world. It needs no engineer or business man to detect the trend in this direction.
 Two opportunities are offered the American cement manufactures. He may enter the market and sell his share of the cement that is going to be bought abroad In that case he will De at a disadvantage in compet- ing with his European rivals because or freight rates. which. in the case of heavy articles like cement, have been found to be in the past practically equal to the cost of the goods de- liyered on the docks at New York The matter is. nevertheless, worth in- vestgation by firms in a position to charter ships and send cement here in large quantities.
 On the other hand, there is an op- portunity for the investment of American capital in the construction of a cement factory. am assured that all the materials that 20 into the manufacture of cement are available and there is necessary only a modern factory. properly managed. to turn out cement equal to any that is manufact- ured elsewhere

DAINTY FOOD Turns Pale Cheeks to Pink.

Our best physicians of the present day seek to cure patients by the use of food and right living, rather than heavy drugs, and this is the true method, for only from food can the body be rebuilt
 Many people, after living on poorly selected or badly cooked food for a long time, and when their ailments become chronic, expect the doctor, with some magic potency to instantly rebuild them.
 This is not possible. The only true method is to turn as quickly as can be. from poor food to good. A young lady in Ohio says:
 'T was variously treated for my nerves, stomach, lungs, etc, but none of the treatments gave me relief.
 About year ago when my appe- tite failed completely and I began to have sinking spells similar to fainting, took all manner of tonics and stim- ulants, but they were of no effec.- ] had been brought to quit drinking cof- fee and taking Postum in its place and grdaually began to get little better.
 Someone suggested that if found Postum 30 beneficial I had better use the children of one brain com menced on Grape-Nuts food for break fast, having Postum with it. I found the food so dainty, delicious and ap- petizing that always looked forward to breakfast with pleasure. Shortly after commencing this diei | the wretched pain in my side wal | greatly relieved, and now, a'year later 1t has gone entirely, also the sinking spells; in fact. my pale cheeks havs I changed to pink, have gained bacl emore than the twenty pounds I lost and am thoroughly well in every way.

Notes of a Bloody Encounter.

-Ahearn, 47. were arrested by Officers McFadden and Carroll Sunday evening at SEQ while they were engaged in a light near the Central Vermont station. The argument was in favor of the older man, for he didn't bear a scratch, while Ahearn had a face that was cov- cred with blood. It was an argument, too, for temperance, for the vanquished was clearly unsteady from alcoholic intoxication, while Troland's elation came chiefly from the sense of victory, disappearing largely with the coming Of the police.
