BURNING OUT VERA CRUZ SNIPERS During the taking of Vera Crus the Americans were harassed by the fire of Mexican snipers, who were perched on housetops and in other places, and in some cases the bluejackets found it necessary to burn the buildings where these sharpshooters were concealed.

Funston's brigade trooped down from their transports an army fit for action. Those who never had seen any troops bat the diminutive barefooted, ragged Indians of the federal govern ment regarded the American troopers as a lot of giant soldiers. The appear ance, the equipments, the whole mili tary effect of the landing forces was a surprise. No native believed the . I'nited States “bad troops like that" The gallant deeds of the bluejackets 5n the Btreet fighting probably never will all be recorded. Heroism was too common to be noted those day a On the roof of the Terminal hotel, near the water front. Ensign Edward O. McDonnell of the battleship Florida w'as stationed with a machine gun sputtering its leaden hail through the streets, while the jackies came up j from the landing under the fire. One by one the snipers picked off McDonnell's men and they went dow-n. until more than three-fourtlis of his crew and force was gone. He would have been justified in abandoning bis position as untenable after losing half 'is force, but he stuck to the gun with the able men remaining. "That's what only a boy Just out of the naval academy did." said Capt Harry McL.. P. Huse, Rear Admiral . i«-i.v»ie*'s chief of staff, in relating he story "The Jackies are only boys; the average age is twenty-one. 1 am told that some of the Mexicans said: *If this Is the way these boys shoot w hat will happen when the men come downf and were not hopeful.” The walls about the fighting zone attest to the steady aim of the Ameri can marksmen. Federal bullets cracked the electric light globes 20 feet up, shot out second-story win dows. chipped the quaint old cornices, but looking on the walls breast high. ! head high, stomach high, one finds the smooth, round perforations from the steel jacketed bullets of the American rifles.

Luks, the profound humor of whose painting has given him a high place in the world of art, was visiting a “futurist’’ exhibition in New York. Mr. Luks paused before a picture which resembled an earthquake, though it was entiGed “Portrait of a Sleeping Babe,” and, with a smile and a shake of the head, he said: “How I wish sometimes I was a suffragette!” CAUSE AND EFFECT Good Digestion Follows Right Food. Indigestion and the attendant dis comforts of mind and body are cer tain to follow continued use of im proper food. Those who are still young and ro bust are likely to overlook the fact that, as dropping water will wear a stone away at last, so will the use of heavy, greasy, rich food, finally cause loss of appetite and indigestion. Fortunately many are thoughtful enough to study themselves and note the principle of cause and effect in their dally food. A N. Y. young wom an writes her experience thus: "Sometime ago I had a lot of trou ble from indigestion, caused by too rich food. I got so I was unable to digest scarcely anything, and medi cines seemed useless. “A friend advised me to try Grape Nuts food, praising it highly and as a last resort, I tried it. I am thankful to say that Grape-Nuts not only re lieved me of my trouble, but built me tip and strengthened my digestive or gans so that I can now eat anything I desire. But I stick to Grape-NutB."
