The production in 1913 was the larg-

underlying cause of this prosperity
is no doubt the Improvement in the

course lies through rapids, and for
the first time in his life his pleasures
were giving precedence to business
Horton was the most-hated and most
admired man in New York, but the
men who hated and snubbed him were

Powerful enemies had ceased to laugh

be silenced. Society had not cast
him OUT, but society had shown him
in many subtle ways that he was nc
longer her favorite. He had taken a
plebeian stand with the masses. Mean
while, from various sources, Horton
had received warnings of actual per
sonal danger. But at these he had
laughed, and no hint of them had
reached Adrienne's ears.
One evening, when business had
forged the postponement of a dinner
engagement with Miss Lescott, he
begged her over The telephone to ride

Reducing IIliteraeY.

Only fifteen out of every one thou
sand children from ten to fourteen
years of age in the United States are
unable to read and write.
These figures Just announced by the
federal bureau of education show a
striking decrease in child illiteracy
during the last fourteen years. In 1900
the number of illiterate children be-
tween the ages Of ten and fourteen
was forty-two in every thousand. In
1910 this number was reduced to TWEEN
ty-two. Four years have further low
cred it more than 33 1-3 per cent.
Assuming only the latter rate of de-
crease. twenty years more may see
youthful illiteracy in this country al
most cease to exist save among newly
arrived immigrant families. Nor can
the present rate of Improvement fail
to produce In the same period a
marked change in the percentage OF
illiteracy in the entire population Of
ten years and over-which In 1910 was

for these youngsters have been fed on
Grape Nuts since infancy. and often

a neighbor whose 3-year-old child was

and cream greedily and the mother
continued the good work. and 1t was
not long before a truly wonderful
change manifested itself In the child's
face and body. The results we're re-
markable, even for Grape-Nuts.
"Both husband and use Grape Nuts
every day and keep strong and well
and have three of the finest, healthiest
boys you can find in a days march"
Many mothers instead Of destroying
the children's stomachs with candy

Almost everyone knows that Sage

ago the only way to get this mixture
was to make it at home, which is

can possibly tell that you darkened
your hair, as it does it so naturally
and evenly. You dampen sponge or
