These were nearly all filled, at $1 and $2 cach, at the after- noon performance, and Manager W. J. ‘Hoggson counts on doing even better at the evening show. The proceeds are to be devoted to charity. It was a regular old-fashioned circus, with Its pink lemonade and Its pearmis and {ts barkers for side shows. The only difference was that the performers and attendants, the fakirs and the bark- ers, all were people prominent in so- clety. Great skill was shown by the éight equestrians, Mrs. E.

A Floating Box Changed a Man's Lite, Governors 0} Things drift into our Iives in a curious way. A man was visiting the seashore while an invalid and one day a little empty Grape-Nuts box floated to him. The food facts he learned changed his whole life—but let him tell his story. ‘The doctors said {t was acute in- digestion or gastritis. There was really nothing that I could eat and enjoy, and when one cannot enjoy his meals he may as well be dead. There was a time when I could eat and di- gest anything, but for two years pre- vious to last spring I was in a wretched state, I tried everything I heard of, took all kinds of medicine, almost enough to float a ship, but with mo lasting purpose. “Last Spring I had to give up work and went to Atlantic City. One day while stroHing along the beach I no- ticed a box being tossed about on the breakers and finally thrown up on the sand. I sat down on the sand and looked at it idly at first, but after reading a few words on the box I got interested. It told how Grape-Nuts food was prepared and all its good qualities, and I made up my mind) then and there that I would try it. “I have rot taken a drop of medi- cine from that day to this, but used about a half package of Grape-Nuts each day for two months, Then | gradually began eating meat and) vegetables and fruit, and now I can} eat anything I care to without it dis-/ tressing nie, but I still cling to Grape-| Nuts food, as am fond of it prepared! in various ways, and never a day} passes that I don’t have it in some| form. | “After the first two months of using Grape-Nuts I weighed myself every fifteen days, and found I gainod from three to five pounds each time. I) have been working every day since,| and can say I never felt detter.| Thanks to Grape-Nuts, I now have an| appetite like a billy goat and am no| |more troubled with a bad stomach, “I wish I could talk with everyone troubled as I was, I know a good many people say: ‘Oh, I've tried) everything. I am tired of trying,’ ete., but I say, ‘Don't give up until you try Grape-Nuts food and you will not regret it.” Name given by Pos- tum Co,, Battle Creek, Mich, “ALICE, WHERE ART ROBBED HIS WIFE THOU?"
