CHANGE THE VIBRATION
It Makes for Health.
A man tried leaving off meat , pota
toes , coffee , and etc. , and adopted a
breakfast of fruit , Grape-Nuts with
cream , some crisp toast and a cup of
Postum.
His health began to Improve at once
for the reason that a meat eater will
reach a place once In a while where
his oystem seems to bpcomo clogged
and the machinery doesn't work
smoothly.
A change of this kind puts aside food
of low nutritive value and takes up
food and drink of the highest value ,
already partly digested and capable
of being quickly changed into good ,
rich blood and strong tissue.
A most valuable feature of Grape-
Nuts is the natural phosphate of pot
ash grown In the grains from which it
Is made. This Is the element which
transforms albumen in the body into
the soft gray substance which fills
brain and nerve centers.
A few days' use of Grape-Nuts will
give ono a degree of nervous strength
well worth the trial.

"I thluk the most profitable slngl"
customer I ever struck was a man
that rode with mo once when I was
running on a parlor car between Now
York , and the first thing ho says to
me was :
" 'Simeon' that's what ho called
me , Simeon 'Simeon , ' ho says to mo ,
'I haven't had any sleep for a week ,
and I'm liable to go to sleep the min
ute I sit down In this car. and when I
sleep I alw&ys snore , and when 1
snore 1 do snore , and if I should snore
hero I'd bo liable to blow the roof off
the car and I'd be sure to disturb all
the other passengers. What I want.
Simeon , Is for you to look out for mo
and see that 1 don't snore. '
" 'Simeon , ' he says , 'keep an eye
on me , and for every time you keep
me from snoring I pay you CO cents.
You keep the score and I settle with
you when we get to Buffalo. But un
derstand , ' he says , 'for every tlmo ou
let me snore wo deduct $2 from the
total. '

Drinks and Love Mixed by Frenchman
'
OS ANGELES. CAL. Peter Slvers.
Lt a French sheep herder , living on
Aliso street , accumulated a Jag re
cently and became amorous to such
an extent that his arrest and deten
tion on an insanity charge were
deemed necessary.
Slvers in turn made love to n
horse , a wagon and a hitching post ,
and when locked up In the city Jail
bestowed the most distracting ca
resses and salutations of love upon the
cold and unresponsive bars of his cell.
The sheep herder Is the living ex
ample of the little mustached type
who so often forms the chief fun
maker in French film moving picture
shows.
He Is short and slight , with a curlIng -
Ing mustache and all the ravings and
elaborate figures of speech used by
his countrymen. Early one afternoon
Slvers began to gather about him
strange-looking bottles. He drank from
each In turn , without fear or favor.
Any other man would have thought
a while before taking such chances ,
1 had to stir him up every five 01 *
( en or fifteen minutes , and 1 had to bo
quick about It. Once ho got away
from mo.
"I'd gene clean down to the other
end of the car , after we'd boon outj
about live hours , with n glass of water
for a lady , and Just as I was handing
It to her I heard n terrible noise down
at the other end of the car , and I
know what was the matter ; but the
other folks In the car didn't at first !
and half of 'cm Jumped up. The lady
I was handing the water to did , and
pretty near upset the tray , and everybody - ,
body was scared at first , and there
Ihoy wore standing up or looking
around from their chairs all over the
car , the whole lot of 'cm , all scowling
at my pnssengor.
"I made that run from Now York
to Buffalo many and many a time , but'
II Imd never seemed so long to mo be
fore. We got there finally , but when
ho stood up for mo to assist him off
1 was so tired and weak 1 could hardly
waggle the broom.
" 'Simmy , ' ho says , 'I think you did
well. What do you xmako the tally ? '
" 1 told him that he'd been asleep
71 times.
" 'Well , ' he says , 'Simmy , that would
make ? 3G.50 If It had been a perfect
Fcoro , but wo deduct two dollars for
the time you let me snore ; that brings
it down to $33.50. I suppose wo could
fairly enough knock off another dollar ,
half price for that half snore ; but wo
didn't make any special contract , ' ho
says , 'about half snores , and so wo
won't say anything about that. Just
let It go. '
"Then ho handed mo over $33.00 ;
and 1 got from the other passengers
$2.70 , making the grand total revenue
fo the trip $30.20.
but with Slvers it was do or die , and
he plunged in boldly.
After all the bottles had been emp
tied and wore lying upon the floor In
disconsolate attitudes , the Frenchman
arose and went forth In search of ad-
veuturcs. He thought he owned the
earth. He tossed his hat in the air in
an abandoned manner , and cried his
delight. He approached a horse at
tached to a baker's cart on Aliso
street.
"Ah , zo gran' horse , zo big one , I
lof you , I lof you , " screamed the en
raptured Peter , with frantic attempts
to embrace the animal. The horse ,
being of common parentage and hav
ing no ambition to speak of , backed
away from the approaches of the little
man. Peter followed , hat in hand , mak-i
Ing the most elaborate bows In the
direction of the equine , and at the
same time casting the most beseech-1
Ing glances toward It.
The horse made a few attempts to
climb a telegraph pole , and Peter
transferred his affairs of love to a
picture of a fat damsel , painted on the
side panel of the wagon. Ho was try
ing to encircle the wagon with his
arms In his effort to embrace this
wooden affinity , when the driver came
forth from a nearby store , pried Peter
off with the too of his shoe , and , using
the same system of transmission de
livered him into hc gutter.
