"I had always had an intense preâ€" judice, which I can now see was unâ€" wmrantnble and unreasonahle, against. all mucth advertised foods. Hence, I never read a line of the manv ‘nds.’ of Grape-Nuts, nor testâ€" ed thc food till last winter. "While in Corpus Christi for my health, and visiting my youngest son. who has four oi the ruddiest, healthiest little boys I ever saw, I ate my first dish of Grapeâ€"Nuts food for supper with my little grandsons. I became exceedingly fond of it, and have eaten' a package of it every week since, and find it a deliciOus, refreshing and strengthening foonl, leaving no ill effects whatever, caus- ing no eructations (with which I was formerly much troubled), no sense of fullness. nausea, nor disâ€" tress of stomach in anv way.

I am strong-r am] more active since I began the use of GrapeNuts that I have been for 10 Lyears, and am no longer troubled with nausea and indigestion.” Name given by Postlun.Co., Battle Creek, Mich. There’s a reason. Look in each. pnfkage for the fam- ons little book, "The Road to Wellâ€" ville." There are no fairer set. of men on earth than the doctors, and wh-m they find they have been in error they are usually apt to make honest and manlu confession of the fact. A case in point is that of an emâ€" inent practitioner, one of the good old school, who lives in. Texas. His plain, unvm‘nished tale needs no dressing up: “For instance, many bookmakers have two or three of my men always attached to them. Often, too, my lads are employed in law cases when witnesses have bevn intimidatod. I have supplied them both to plaintilf and defendant branches of th( more expensive “All that my man requires is to be shown the man he has to deal with. He brushes against him in a bar or in the street; there is trouble â€"â€"and there you are. “For this sort of job our‘ prices are very low, ranging from 55. to £1, but, of course, there are some branches of the business which come "Again, young gentlemen of the nobility, who have got into awkward positions and are likely to be black- mailed, seek my aid. If the man to be feared is a big man, I send a big man; if he is a little man, I send a, little man; so that when it Comes to the fighting there is no question of bullying. “You would be surprised," he said impressively, "to know how many members of. Parliament come to me for 'protcction’ during election time. They simply inform me, through their agents, how many men they need to secure their safety at meet/- ings. and so forth, and I send dOWn suitable men by train. When the general election comes We shall have our hands full, and not a man to snare. Armed, however, with satisfactory credentials, a representative of the Express called on the proprietor of the businessâ€"a. gentleman of extreme- ]y pugilistic appearance. At first the purveyor of “bruisers” was inclmod to be I‘cticient, but presently he took the representative of the Express in- to his confidence. Naturally, this emporium for the supply of "bruisers” is not openly advertised, and those who Wish to secure the services of a pugilist have to proceed by devious paths.

There now exists in Bethnal Green an establishment where professional fighting men may be hired by timorâ€" 0115 souls who desire "protection," Says the London Express. “I suffered Ior thirtyâ€"el'rht months with a, pain in my back.

It is, nevertlulsos, a, fact that great literary men of the past have shown strong; desires for particular dishes. Alexander Pope would always suc- cumb to stewed lampreys, and Dr. JohniSon ha-zl keen relish for a leg of mutton and vealâ€"pie. Steak-pudding was his greatest treat, however, Dryâ€" den, declining an invitation from a, lady to an attrartive supper, .wrote: "11‘ beggars might be choosers, a chine of honest bacon would please my appetite more than all the marâ€" toWâ€"puddings, for I li e them better plain, having a vulgar stomach.” Dr. l‘arr, the great Greek scholar, re- lished "hot boiled lobster, with a profusion of shrimpâ€"sauce,” and Byron was inordinatey fond of bacon on] eggs, which he freely indulged in, in spite of what he knew would he the inevitable resultâ€"an attack of inlligvstion. Leigh Hunt’s late sup- pers or indigestible foods produced "tfzingq that had nearly killed him,"1 and Beethoven cared for little else but soup. The reader may well ask how the natives can use both dogs and reinâ€" deer, if the sight of a deer has such a maddening ejl’ect on the dogs. The explanation is simple. The two never go together. There is the dog coun- try and the deer country, but they do not overlap. Confusion is often unavoidably caused by travelling with dogs through a deer country, but the natives do not take it in ill part, knowing that if they them- selves have to travel with deer through a. dog country they will cause quite as much inconVenience. I sat up in the snow-bank and laughed. The other drivers had fol- lowed our example, and the strugâ€" gling tangle of sledges, harness, dogs and men formed a. scene that to the novice at least was highly ludicrous The drivers and the village people were belaboring the dogs, and the entire herd of reindeer belonging to the village was escaping in all direc- tions up the hills. For a. short time the deer held their own, and in fact gained on us; ‘but before the ym‘ta (village) Came ‘in sight we were gaining rapidly. ‘While we were still at some distance the people of the village, warned by the cries of the dogs, comprehended what was the matter, and arming themselves with sticks and spears, Came running toward us. ‘As they camc- on they spread out in a fan- like formation across the trail. When the terrified (leer reached the line, the men spread out and and let the team through. and instantly closed again to dispute the passage of our dogs. Our driver was nowise minded to let the natives club his dogs, and perhaps injure the valuable animals, so he resorted to the' last expedient. GiVing a shout of warning to me, he suddenly, by a (left motion, turned our sledge completely over, landing me in a snow-drift on my head. In this position the sledge was all brake, and the dogs were forced to stop. They Were leaping in their har- ness and yelling like fiends incarnate. A team of reindeer were running for their lives. 'l‘heir 'l‘ungus driver was lashing them with the whip, mm] was urging them with all his might, for he knew as Well as we that if our dogs overtook them before the camp was reached, we seven men would be utterly powerless to prevent the dogs from tearing the deer to pieces. Our driver put on the brake with all his might, but it had not the least. ef- fect. The fourteen dogs had becmne wolves in the turn of a hand, and no brake could stop them. There were many Humps and other obstructions along our way, and my driver had great difficulty in prevently a smash- up. At four o‘clock in the afternoon the dogs suddenly broke into :1 Swift run, and we knew they had scented something that, interested them. We soon perceived that we had struck a. deer train, and that we were nearing an encmnpment. We turned a bend in the road, and there, a, hundred yards ahead of us, we saw the cause of the dogs’ excitement.
