other day after 1 had taken my seat

to the depot and hollered at me till l

me to fetch back half dozen small
china nest eggs for the use Of his
hens and half dozen big china eggs
for his geese. He had forgotten to
bring samples with him, but held up
his hands as the train started and
yelled to me that the little ones were
about this long-spreading the thumb
and forefnger of his left hand apart
and the big ones this size-spread-
ing the same two fingers on his righ'
hand-and shouted that if I'd hold my
hands that way until got the eggs

He can handle himself on the bars

its lures for AL Sharpe, the same as
other men who have made athletics

colleges of the east looked upon his
work with wistful eyes. Cornell finally
drew the prize. His success with

say that he was the greatest basket

brilliant football player, especially in
the drop-kicking department, and in
baseball he was a wonder. He had
numerous offers from the Athletics to
play ball in past seasons. He could
pitch and play first base and was an
ambidextrous thrower.
Look at him once and you will
see the reason for his success. He
is six feet one inch tall and weighs

PUZZLED
Hard, Sometimes, to Raise Children

Children's taste is ofttimes more
accurate, in selecting the right kind of
food to fit the body, than that of adults.
Nature works more accurately through
the children.
A Brooklyn lady says: Our little boy
had long been troubled with weak
digestion. We could never persuade
him to take more than one taste Of
any kind of cereal food. He was a
weak little chap and we were puzzled
to know what to feed him on.
Zone lucky day we tried Grape-Nuts.
Well, you never saw a child eat with
such a relish, and it did me good to
see him. From that day on it seemed
as though we could almost see him
grow. He would eat Grape-Nuts for
breakfast and supper, and l think he
would have liked the food for dinner.
"The difference in his appearance
is something wonderful.
MY husband had never fancied
cereal foods of any kind but he be-
came very fond of Grape-Nuts and has
been much improved in health since
using it.
I'VE are now a healthy family and
naturally believe in Grape-Nuts.
"a friend has two children who were
formerly afflicted with ricketts,. / was
satisfied that the disease was caused
by lack of proper nourishment. The
children showed it. So I urged her
to use Grape-Nuts as an experiment
and the result was almost magical.
They continued the food and to-
day both children are as well and
strong as any children in this city,
and, of course, my friend is firm be-
lever in Grape-Nuts, for she has the
evidence before her eyes every day."
