"It la impossible for n woman to llvo In comfort iti Now York on $3,000 year." This Is the claim of Mrs. Junnlto LoHar, who hast potltloned tho orpliana' court In Scranton, Pa., to nllow her an mldl tionnl $1,000 bo Bho can send her eleven-year-old son to a military acad emy. "During my husband's life," her petition cites, "our Incouio was $0,- 000 n year, nnd the estnto Is now yielding $8,000, bo I don't see what law thcro can bo that refuses a wom an half of her income" Mrs. LaBar lives In a comfortable, but modest apartment, drosses well and IIvub on tho best tho market will afford, but sho claims nho is not extravagant for. oho doesn't owo a cent. "I can't got along on $3,000 a year," eaya Mrs. LnDar. "And I am not ex travngant. My apartment Is modest, but comfortablo. It is absolutely Im possible for us to llvo at a hotel on accouut of tho expense, and we have to take an apartment. I lmvo to keep one servant, becauso, In tho first place, 1 am not strong enough to do tho work, and in tho second place there on $3,000 a Year is no reason why I should put In mj tlino In tho kitchen.

Few pooplo who know mtntlotoo only an a deslrablo foaturo of Christ nina decorations understand that tho plant Is a parasite dangerous to the llfo of trees in tho regions in which It grows. It Is only a question of time, after mistletoe onco begins to grow upon n tree before tho troo It self will be kilted. Tho pnraslta saps tho llfo of the infected branches. For tunatcly, it Is of slow growth, taking yeara to develop to large proportions, but when neglected, It Invariably rulus all trees It reaches. City Heated by Natural Hot Water BOISE, Idaho. Thlo Is the only city In tho country hoatod by natural hot water, taken from springs near tho town, and which is employed, not alone for heating purposes, but for cooking and oven In sprinkling tho BtreotB of tho city In summer, thero is such an abundanco of tho water flowing from throo wells. Tho water remains at about 175 degrees in tem perature nnd tho flow averages about J.500,000 gallons a dny. Ono hundred and ton homes in BoIbo aro supplied with tho water, which Is employed for all household purposes, except washing of silver waro, which tarnishes in tho wnter, charged as it is with sulphur and mineral. Tho water is pumped from thrco largo wolln, about six miles cast of Bolso, in tho foothills of the Owyhoes. Interest was first tnken in tho wa ter in 1890. Provious, to that time there had been a great black mud holo where the wells havo alnco been sunk. Tho water was stagnant and tho spot was known simply as a place where hundreds 'of rnngo cattle had dropped out of sight In tho old days into what appeared to bo a bottom less well. Tho cost of tho water a year to the nverago family is $135. Tho water company which now has contiol of tho wells does not employ the meter system in measuring tho Bupply, but tho water How Is gaugpd by tho size of tho pipes running into tho indi vidual homes. Tho cost of supplying a houso for all purposes with tho natural hot wa ter is somewhat heavier than with tho ordinary lurnaco system, but thero aro advantages. Thcro are no furnaces in tho homes using the nat ural hot water, tho danger of flro is greatly reduced, and thoro is nono of tho dirt and Inconvenience connected with tho handling of coal and wood for flro purposes. So curative wero tho waters con sidered that they wero carried by them back to their camps, where they were rubbed on tho limbs of in valids to heal rheumatic and kindred complaints.

An Institution which is doing great good In Clovoland, Ohio, la tho Brotherhood Home, dovoloped from tho Idea of ono man, an ex-prlsonor who wanted to help somcono else. In November, 1905, Jamoa Shaw was paroled from tho Clovoland houso of correction. Whllo thoro ho had been a teacher In tho night school, and had beccmo Interested in tho Blblo class. Ho was a inau of moro intolllgenco than tho nverago work houso prisoner nnd soon after his re looso on parolo obtained employment with a shipbuilding company. When ho drow his first wngoa ho went to tho director of charities and correc tions with tho proposal that ho tako in another prisoner who was about to bo paroled. "I think Frod wants to behavo and llvo decently," ho told tho dlroctor. "I can give him a bed, stuko him to n meal ticket and got him n job, too." "Fred" did want to llvo hotter nnd went to work with n will. In a. week they routed nnothcr room, and went again to tho director with tho request for tho parolo of two other members of tho workhouso night school class.

Following It, nn attack on ua appeared In their editorial columns; sneering attheclalraa wo mado particularly regarding Appendicitis. Wo replied through tho regulnr papers and tho "weekly" thought we hit back rather too hard and thereupon sued for libel. Tho advertisement tho "weekly" attacked us about claimed that In many cases of appen dicitis an operation could bo avoided by dis continuing iudlgestlblo food, washing out tho bowola and taking a predlgestcd food Grapo Nuta. Obsorvo wo anld MANY caeca not nil. Wouldn't that knowiedro bo a comfort to those who fear a surgeon's knlfo as they fear death? Tho "weekly" writer Bald that was a lie Wo replied that ho waa Ignorant of tho facts. Ho waa put on tho stand nnd compelled to admit ho was not n Dr. and had no medical knowledgo of appendicitis and never Investi gated to find out If tho tostimoual letters to our Co. woro gcnulno. A famous surgeon testified that when an oorutlon waa required Grnpo-Nuta would not obviate it. True. Wo never clnimed that when nn operation was required Grape-Nuts would prevent it. Tho surgeon testified bacteria gonna help cd to bring on an attack and bacteria was grown by undigested food frequently. Wo claimed and proved by othor famous experts that undigested food wan largely reaponslblo for nppendlcltls. Wo showed by expert testimony that many cases aro healed without a knlfo, but by stop ping tho use of food which did not dlgoat, and when food was required again It was helpful to uso a prcdlgested food which did not over tax tho weakened organs of digestion. When a puln In tho right sido nppenrs It Is not always necessary to bo rushed off to a hospital and at tho risk of death bo cut. Plain common scnBo bIiows tho better way 13 to stop food that evidently has not boon digested. Thon, when food Is required, uso an easily digested food. Grape-Nuts or any other If you know It to bo prcdlgested (partly digested boforo taking). Wo brought to Court nnalytlcnl chemists from Now York, Chicago and Mlshawaka, Intl., who sworo to tho nnalysla of Grapo-Nuta and that part of tho starchy part of tho wheat and barley had boon transformed Into sugnr, tho kind of BUgar produced In tho human body by digesting Btarch (tho lnrgo part of food). Somo of tho Stnto chemists brought on by tho "weekly" anld Grape-Nuts could not bo called n "prcdlgested" food becauso not all of It was digested outsldo tho body. Tho othor chemists said any food which had been partly or half digested outMdo tho body was commonly known aa "prcdlgested." Splitting hnlra about tho meaning of a word. It la sufficient thnt if only one-half of tho food 1b "prodlgcated," it Is easier on weakoncd stomach and bowels than food in which no part is prcdlgested. To show tho facts wo lntroduco Dr. Thos. Darlington, former chief of tho N. Y. Board of Health, Dr. Italph W. Webster, chief of tho Chicago Laboratories, and Dr. B. Sacli3, N. Y. If wo wero a little severe In our denuncia tion of n writer, solf-confessed Ignorant nbout nppendlcltls and Its cause, it la possible tho public will excuso ua, In vlow of tho fact that our head, Mr. C. W. Post, haa mado a lifetime study of food, food dtcestlon and effects, und tho conclusions nro Indorsed by many of tho best medical authorities of the day. Is It posBlblo that wo nro at fault for suggesting, na a Fnthcr and Mother might, to ono of tho family who announced n pain In tho Bide: "Stop using tho food, greasy meats, gravies, ralnco pie, chcoBo, too much starchy food, etc., etc., which has not boon digested, then when again ready for food uso Grape Nuta becauso It la easy of digestion?" Or should tho child bo at once carlod off to n hospital and cut? Wo havo known of many cases wherein th npproachlng Blgns of appondlcltis hnvo dis appeared by tho suggestion being followed. No ono bettor appreciates tho vnlue of a skilful physician whon a person is in tho awful throes of acuto nppendlcltls, but "an ounce of provenlion 13 worth a pound of cure" JiiRt plain old common senso i3 helpful evert nowadays. This trial demonstrated Grape-Nuts food Is puro beyond qucst'lorT " It Is partly prodlgested. Appendicitis generally" haa rlso from unfll gested food!
