INFANT MORTALITY is something frightful. We oan hardly realize that of
all the children horn in civilized countries, twontytwo per cent,, or nearly
one-quarter, die "before they reach one year; thirtyseven 'per cent., or more
than one-third, before they are five, and one -half before they are fifteen!
We do not hesitate to say that a timely use of Oastoria would save a ma
jority of these precious lives, Neither do we hesitate to say that many of those
infantile deaths are occasioned by the use of narcotic preparations, Drops, tinctures
and soothing syrups sold for children's complaints contain more or less opium, or
morphine. They are, in considerable quantities, deadly poisons. In any quantity
they stupefy, retard circulation and lead to congestions, sickness, death. Oastoria
operates exactly the reverse, but you must see that it bears the signature of
Ohas. H. Fletcher. Oastoria causes the blood to4 ciroubte properly, opens the
pores of the skin and allays fever.

HONEST CONFESSION.

Tliero are no taircr set oi men on

Qnd they have been in error they arc

confession of the fact.
A case in point is that of an eml.
nent practitioner, one of the good old
school, who lives In Texas. His plain,
unvarnished tale needs no dressing up
, "I had always hiid an Intense proju
dice, which 1 can now see was unwar
rantahle and unreasonable, against all
muchly advertised foods. Hence, I
never lead a line of the many 'ads.' of
Grape-Nuts, nor tested the food till
last winter.
"While in Corpus unristi ror my
nealth, and visiting my youngest son,
who has four of tlie ruddiest, health!,
est little hoys I ever saw, I ate my
first dish of Grape-Nuts food for sup
per with my little grandsons. 1 be-
same exceedingly fond of It and have
eaten a package of it every week since,
and llnd It a delicious, refreshing and
strengthening food, leaving no ill ef
fects whatever, causing no eruetatlous
(with which I was formerly much trou-
bled), no sense of fullness, nausea, nor
fllstresB of stomach in any way.
"Thero is no other food that agrees"
with me so well, or sits as HghUy or
pleasantly upon ray stomach as this
does. I am stronger and more active
since I began the use of Grape-Nuts
than 1 have been for ten years, and am

A Norwegian engineer has recently
Invented a new apparatus for sea
sounding by which It Is not necessary
to touch bottom. This Is accomplished
by an acoustic method. Tho depths
arc nlso registered graphically upon a
revolving drum. The operation of tho
device depends upon the time which
sound takes to travel to tho bottom
and return, and the measurement of
the time thus gives tho depth to which
tlie exploring apparatus Is lowered.
A safety device for the protection ol
persons from tlie electric current upon
the rupture of a trolley wire has been
invented recently. Hy tho employment
of this arrangement the current Is cut
off and tlie wire rendered harmless.
The device is II tied to each section of
tho wire and consists of au ordinary
connecting ear held In Its proper po
Bltion by the strain on tho trolley svlro.
Aa soon as this tension Is released,
as by tho breaking of the trolley
wire, the current Is Immediately cut
off at the broken section without any
"shorting" sparks whatever.
