ASTONISHED THE DOCTOR
Did Lady Got Well with Change of
Food.
A great scientist has said we can put
roff “old age” if we can only nourish the
body properly.
To do this the right kind of food, of
i course, is necessary. The body manu
factures poisons in the stomach and
intestines from certain kinds of food
ustuffs and unless sufficient of the right
kind is used, the injurious elements
•overcome the good.
“My grandmother, 71 years old,”
writes a N. Y. lady, “had been an in
valid for 18 years from -what was
called consumption of the stomach and
bowels. The doctor had given her up
to die.
“I saw so much about Grape-Nuts
that I persuaded Grandmother to try
it. She could not keep anything on her
stomach for more than a few minutes.
“She began Grape-Nuts with only a
teaspoonful. As that did not distress
her and as she could retain it, she took
a little more until she could take all of
4 teaspoonfuls at a meal.
“Then she began to gain and grow
.■strong and her trouble in the stomach
was gone entirely. She got to enjoy
good health for one so old and we
know Grape-Nuts saved her life.
“The doctor was astonished that in
stead of dying she got well, and with
out a drop of medicine after she began
the Grape-Nuts.” “There's a Reason.”

OEVOL HAS RECORD
NEW CHIEF QUARTERMASTER ON
PANAMA CANAL.
Is Known as Expert in Organization
and Supply Work by What He
Did in Philippines, San Fran
cisco and Elsewhere.
Washington.—Maj. C. A. Devol, who
succeeds Jackson Smith as chief quar
termaster for the canal commission on
the Panama canal, has made a record
furnishing supplies to the United
States army in the tropics equal to
that of Jackson Smith in providing
men and means to build railroads and
manufacturing concerns in Mexico and
South America.
Maj. Devol entered the army in 1879
as a second lieutenant of infantry.
Appointed a captain and quarter
master in August, 1896, he built the
posts of Fort Yellowstone, Wyo., and
Fort Hancock. He joined Gen. Otis
in May, 189fkand assisted in organiz
ing the exposition to the Philippines,
with which he left for Manila in Au
gust, 1S9S. On arrival the major im
mediately assumed charge of the
transport service and the Manila
Dagupan railroad. The military
necessities for which Maj. Devol was
called upon to provide, required an
expenditure of over $7,000,000 Mexican
currency, within 18 months. He had
about 50 transports in commission
supplying the 65,000 troops in the
field.
In July, 1900, he was ordered to the
United States and assigned as general
superintendent of the army transport
service between New York, Cuba and
Porto Rico. He remained in charge
until the service was discontinued in
1901. After he had taken charge of
and reorganized the largest armv
clothing depot in the United States,
Maj. Devol was ordered to San Fran
cisco, in entire charge of the trans
port service on the Pacific. His stoelf
of goods as quartermaster of the de
partment of San Francisco amounted
tt> about $2,500,000. At San Francisco
Maj. Devol purchased everything need
ed for the United States army of the
Pacific coast, of Alaska and in the
Philippines. To take these supplies
15 transports, some of which had
been Atlantic liners, were employed.
When San Francisco was shaken
by the earthquake and ravaged by the
great fire Maj. Devol took complete
charge of all the supplies donated by
the states to supply the wants of the
300,000 homeless, hungry people. He
organized and (distributed these sup
plies to all parts of the city.
For this work he was made a mem
ber of the army general staff, on which
he served until he was ordered to the
isthmus in June.
As chief quartermaster for the canal
commission Maj. Devol's work com
bines the departments of labor and
quarters, that of material and supplies,
and a portion of the work formerly
done by the sanitary department. The
value of the stock to be carried by the
chief quartermaster will be about
$3,000,000, and his work will be to
care for and repair the commission
quarters, to do police work, to secure
the labor necessary for the canal
work and to transport it to the
isthmus. The total expenditure of
Maj. Devol's department for the year
ending June. 1909, will probably be
about $3,000,000.

One day the Ilubbite was going over
with his wife a mass of useless papers
that had accumulated in the house
hold. They unearthed several large
boxes full of love letters. After a
hasty glance at them, the husband
said:
“No use keeping this junk, 1 sup
pose? Here it goes.”
The wife was hurt. “Oh, Clarence,”
exclaimed she, “how can you be so
brutal? Surely you don’t want to de
stroy your own love letters to me?”
“Well, keep ’em, if you want ’em,”
cheerfully assented the husband, “but

There Is more Catarrh in this section of the country
than all other diseases put together, and until the last
few years was supposed to be incurable. For a great
many years doctors pronounced it a local disease and
prescribed local remedies, and by constantly failing
to cure with local treatment, pronounced it incurable.
Science has proven Catarrh to be a constitutional dis
ease. and therefore requires constitutional treatment.
Hall’s Catarrh Cure, manufactured by F. J. Cheney
Co., Toledo, Ohio, is the only Constitutional cure on

Pour-year-old Clyde was a preco
cious youngster—very talkative and a
close observer. He and his father were
strolling through the meadows one
morning when Clyde observed, for the
first time, some tadpoles in a pond.
He waded in and cried out in delight:
, “Oh, father, What are they?”
‘Tadpoles, son,” the father replied.
“Please, father, let’s take them all
home with us, then come back and
, find the mamma and papa, and we'll
j have the whole family in our pond at
home.”
The father explained how impossi
ble this would be, and as he walked on
a few steps a large ugly frog hopped
across their path. Clyde's father said:
“Look, son, perhaps there is the papa.”
Clyde was very thoughtful. He
looked at the frog, then at his father,
then at himself and exclaimed:
“Well, father, was there ever so
much difference between me and
you?”
