War Ships On Water and In Air. In
EnglaNd, Lord Beresford insists that
Great Britian must maintain ships of
war enough to rule the world. In Germany,
they are perfecting an airship to
carry cannon. It is 435 feet long, has a
speed of thirty-five miles .an hour, and
carries a gun weighing 160 pounds, which
can throw sixty shells, each nearly two ,
inches in diameter, per minute. It can i
sail a mile above the earth, and its shots
will fall upon the deck of a vessel with ,
the penetrating power due to such a tail,
and with explosives of terrific force. ,

The Strike at Pittsburg is reported to
be approaching an end. The impression

to receive.
Mr. E. H. Harriman, over whose illness

Pellagra is the despair of the physicians.
For months tney have told the
world that the disease comes as a result
of eating corn that is in ijnproper condition.

woman who suffered and died from it
avowed emphatically that she Had never

A Deficit Is Reported in the Post Office
Department this year of about twenty million
dollars. Efforts are on foot to reduce
tbe deficit. And yet if the deficit con
tinues, the country is gaining such benefit
for the postal service that a shortage
of twenty millions is a very small matter.
Only about a dollar a family. Let us
have a good postal service.

SENSE ABOUT FOOD
Facts About Food Worth Knowing.
It is a serious question sometimes to
know just what to eat when a person's
stomach is out of order and most foods
cause trouble.
Grape-Nuts food can be taken at any
time with the certainty that it will di
gest. Actual experience of people is
valuable to anyone interested in foods.
A Terre Haute woman writes: "I had
suffered with indigestion for about four
years, ever since an attack of typhoid
fever, and at times could eat nothing
but the very lightest food, and then
suffer such agony with my stomach I
would wish I never had to eat anything.
"I was urged to try Grape-Nuts and
since using it I do not have to starve
myself any more, but 1 can eat it at any
time and feel nourished and satisfied,
dyspepsia is a thing of the past, and I
am now strong and well.
"My husband also had an experience
with Grape-Nuts. He was very weak
and sickly in the spring. Could not attend
to his work. He was put under
the doctor's care but medicine did not
seem to do him any good until he began
to leave off ordinary food and use
urape-Nuts. it was positively surprising
to see the change in him. He grew better
right off, and naturally he has none
but words of praise for urape-Nuts.
"Our boy thinks he cannot eat a meal
without Grape-Nuts, and he learns so
fast at school that his teacher and other
scholars comment on it. I am satisfied
that it is because of the great nourishing
elements in Grape-Nuts."
"There's a Reason."
It contains the phosphate of potash
from wheat and barley which combines
with albumen to make the gray matter
to daily refill the brain and nerve centres.
It is a pity that people do not know
what to ieed their children. There^ are
many mothers who give their youngsters
almost any kind or food and when they
become sick begin to pouring the medicine
down them. The real way is to
stick to proper food and be healthy and
get along without medicine and expense.
Ever read the above letter? A new
one appears from time to time. They
are genuine, true, and full of human
interest.
