To Help Him Save.
H. H. Rogers plunged Into the poll
tics of Falrhaven last month In ordei
to secure prohibition for the beauH
ful Massachusetts town that Is hli
birthplace.
"Mr. Rogers is against drinking,"
said a Falrhaven man. "He thinks,
for one thing, that drinking brings on
extravagance and thrlftlcssness.
"Mr. Rogers stopped and shook
hands with me on the street the oth
er morning.
"'Glad to see you out again,' he
3ald. 'Hope you'll vote the right tick
et. You've been sick, haven't you?'
"'Yes,' said I. 'Stomach trouble. I
guess I won't get to the Easter blow
out. The doctor has ordered me to
give up champagne.
'"You haven't paid his bill, yet, eh?'
said Mr. Rogers, and he walked off
chuckling."

While work on a new building was

carrier suddenly Bllpped while near

long to the ground. Several passers-
by rushed over expecting to find a
man dead with a broken neck, as the
old fellow had struck squarely on the
top of his head. Finding tho old man
still alive some one emptied the con
tents of a whisky bottle down his
throat In a few moments the old
negro sat up and looked around.
"How do you feel now, uncle?"
asked a bystander kindly.
"Well, Bah," came the reply, "I wui
sorter cornfused when I fust started,
but now dat I's hit I's all right!"
NOT DRUGS
Food Did It
After using laxative and cathartic
medicines from childhood a case of
chronic and apparently Incurable con
stipation yielded to the scientific food,
Grape-Nuts, In a few days.
"From early childhood I suffered
with such terrible constipation that I
had to use laxatives continuously go
ing from one drug to another and suf
fering more or loss all the lime.
"A prominent physician whom I con
sulted told mo the muscles of tho di
gestive organs were pnrtially par
alyzed and could not perforin their
work without help of some kind, so I
have tried nt different times about
every laxntlvo and cathartic known,
but found no help that was at all per
manent. I had finally become discour
aged and had given my caso up as
hopeless when I began to use the pro
digested food, Grape-Nuts.
"Although I had not expected this
food to help my trouble, to my great
surprise Grape-Nuts digested Imme
diately from the first and In a few
days I was convinced that this was
Just what my system needed.
"The bowels performed their func
tions regularly and I am now com
pletely and permanently cured of this
iwful trouble.
"Truly the power of scientific food
must be unlimited." "There's a
Reason."

I was going to ratchogue," said a
woman at the Waldorf, "when I saw
sitting near by a little girl iwith her
mother, the mother evidently a for
eigner, the child born In this coun

the foreign way. The child was six.
The conductor came along and the

"'I want you to put us oft at Pat

'and help us with our bundles, please.
My mother's a greenhorn. Sho doesn t
know anything about traveling.'
"I watched her until tho two ar
rived at their destination, and I think
I have never seen a more polite little
girl or a more seemingly dutiful daugh
ter. It was quite evident to my mind
that she meant no disrespect to her
mother by calling her by what would
seem to us to be an opprobrious epi

Laundry work at home would be
much more satisfactory if the right
Starch were used. In order to get the
desired stiffness, it is usually neces
sary to use so much starch that tho
beauty and fineness of the fabric Is
hidden behind a paste of varying
thickness, which not only destroys the
appearance, but also affects the wear
ing quality of the goods. This trou
ble can be entirely overcome by using
Defiance Starch, as it can be applied
much more thinly because of its great
er strength than other makes.
The Great Necessity.

"It says here," she mused, "that
'man should resemble a river.' I won
