She was formerly Helcne Rtchman ot De
troit. Two years ago sho divorced her
titled Viennese husband. Lately, hor
strength being challenged by her fiance,
sho offered to wrestle him beforo twenty
lntlmntu friends of both sexes. His victory
was stubbornly disputed. Tho tlist bout
lasted twenty minutes nnd tho second four
teen. Tho comtcsse was defeated twlco.
She wore a suit which was startilngly prac
tical. After tho necessary toilette, tho
wrestlers nnd tho crowd adjourned to a
supper tn n private room at the Cafo

toast, tno comtcsso was taunted upon her

A Vlcksburg. Miss., boy, J. II. Smith, cor
ner Grove and Third stree.ts, nays: "I havo
been studying very hard to try nnd beat my
room In examination. I hnvo been eating
oatmeal and cream for breakfast all my
life. Lately when the hard study began I
did not feel well enough to go to school,
and there was nn examination ahead ot mo
and an exhibition too.
"I was determined to go through this
examination, but felt so sick all the tlmo
that I didn't know how to accomplish It.
Well, mother saw tho Grape-Nuts food
advertised, so she bought somo and gave
It to mo for breakfast every morning, nnd
you Just ought to soo what this food did
for mo.
"I began to got well at onco and grow
heorty and fat, in spite of my hnrd'work.
Abovo nil that I did beat my room at ex
amination, making a general avcrago that
waB tho highest mark In the room. I am
also able to tuko part at tho military drill
tomorrow night at th'o exhibition nnd will
try for tho gold mcdnl for general oxcol
lenco. If you think thero Is any question
about this you can wrlto to Ilro. Gar
brlal, our principal, and ho will toil you
that It Is true."
It Is of the greatest Importance that
pnrcnlti feed iholr growing children, dur
ing study, on tho most nourishing food
possible to obtnlu, and thero Is no ques
tion on this score rtgardlng Grapo-Nutu,
for tho foci is compounded of tho oln
ments eolected from tho grains which go
to quickly make and rebuild tho brain
nnd nerve centers. Any parent can provo
this statement by fording tho children on
Grape-Nuts. Obtained from any flrst-cJass
