There Is. with some forms of stomach trouble, an abnormal craving for food which Is frequently mistaken for a "good appetite." A lady teacher writes from Carthage. Mo., to explain how with good food she dealt with this sort of hurtful hunger. "I have taught school for fifteen years, and up to nine years ago had good, average health. Nine years ago, however, my health began to fail, and continued to grow worse steadily. In spite of doctor's prescriptions, and everything I could do. During all this time my appetite continued good, only the more I ate the more 1 wanted to eat?1 was always hungry. "The first symptoms of my breakdown were a distressing nervousness and a loss of flesh. The nervousness grew so bad that finally it amounted to actual prostration. Then came stomach troubles, which were very painful, constipation which brought on piles, dyspepsia and severe nervous headaches. "The doctors seemed powerless to help me. said I was overworked, and at last urged me to give up teaching, if I wished to save my life. "But this I could not do. I kept on at it as well as 1 could, each day growing more wretched, my will-power alone keeping me up, till at last a < good angel suggested that I try a diet < of Grape-Nuts fQpd, and from that day to this I have found it delicious 1 always appetizing and satisfying. "1 owe my restoration to health to < Grape-Nuts. My weight has returned t and for more than two years I have j t been free from the nervousness, con- ! 1 Etlpation. piles, headaches, and all the f ailments that used to punish me so. j i and have been able to work freely and 1 easily."

PLAYING I By CLAUD] (Copyrifbt. igu. by Ass Miss Cleo Gates was visiting her lister, Mrs. George Marshall. Mr. Marshall was general manager of the department store of Moses^ Waicright. Therefore. Miss Cleo heard much shop talk. About the only thing that interested her, however, was the talk about shoplifters. The store was constantly troubled with them, and it was cnly at long intervals that one was caught, although a store detective was supposed to have her eyes everywhere. One night when the manager came home to say that goods worth $200 had been lifted that day from under the nose of the store watchdog, who was a young woman of 25, and that the would be discharged at the end of the week. Miss Cleo announced, in a very serious tone: "I i.m a natural born detective." A laugh greeted the words. "I have solved several difficult cases." More laughing. "A year ago when this diamond ring was suddenly missing, father and moth er said it was a case that would never be solved. After devoting one day to thought I walked Into the kitchen and told the cook she was the thief. She broke down at once." "That Is. she confessed?" said Mr. Marshall. "No, she did not confess. She turned red and white and burst Into tears, and within an hour she skipped out." "And the ring?' "I found it on the shelf over my lavatory. She. of course, had placed it there on finding that she was suspected. Father said the police couldn't have worked the case better." "Keenest, brightest thing I ever heard of!" replied the manager. "If pzj m latest<#^S> <ti I ^ ^ ^ j ^ I i s Picked Up One After Another. we only had you In the store we could Bll a po'lce station with shoplifters in sido of a week." The natural born detective felt hurt at the words and would say no more, although Invited to relate some of ber other cases. Her mind had in Btantly been made up to a certain thing, however, and next day she pro eeeded to carry her plan into execution. With no hint to her sister, who would oppose it, she made her way to the store of Moses &. Wainright. She wanted to get an eye on the afternoon shoppers. She had a feeling that she could tell a shoplifter on sight. The criminal might be a well dressed woman with diamonds In her ears, and she might pretend to be at es.se, but there would be a furtive look, a something in look or walk to give her away. Miss Cleo passed from counter to counter, looking for guilty parties. She spotted and followed two or three about, but they seemed to receive a mysterious warning and kept hands off. There was one old dame who might nave pocketed three yards o' lace if she hadn't looked up and caught the girl's eye on her. Miss Cleo finally retired from the store with the feeling that if she had caused 10 arrest she had at least frightened i number of shoppers into being hoo>st. At dinner that evening, she lidn't feel so self-satisfied, however. 1 dr. Marshall reported that never had he shoplifters been so busy. There tiad been no less than seven cases right under the noses of the brightest salesgirls. Should that report discourage a natural born detective? Not In the slight- 1 est. It should stimulate her to great- i er exertions. That's what it did In Miss Cleo Gate's case. She had been put on her mettle, and she would istonish her brother-in-law and oth?rs. Very few good looking young women who have set out to astoni h 'oiks have made a failure of it. It was back to the store the next afterloon for Miss Cleo. A bright thought ?track her as she crossed the threshed. From all she had read and heard [he shoplifting business was confined to her sex. The store detective h J her eye on the women.

Then he walked up to the Jewelry show case and drummed on the glass. Then he went over to the perfumery counter and asked the price of a bottle of cologne. Thence he walked to the door and looked up and down, as If to see whether there was a policeman about or not. Being satisfied on this point, he walked back to the book counter, picked up one book after another, and finally walked off with one In his hand as bold as brass It was a valuable book. Miss Cleo should have stepped for- j ward at this moment and laid her : heavy hand on the shoplifter and made an arrest but her heart failed her. He would deny and resist. She would let hlra go and trail him and then report to her brother-in-law. She j hadn't far to trail. With a quick glance up and down the street, the ( yuuug man crusavu. ai uju cu?m>v? to a stairway he paused a moment to look back, and then climbed the stairs. The girl had the criminal run to earth. She re-entered the store, was taken up to the manager's office, and astonished him with announcing: "George, I have been doing detec- j tive work downstairs unbeknown to you or Sarah, and 1 have caught a shoplifter. He may be the head of tho gang!" "You don't tell me! Where is he?" "I didn't want to create excitement in the store, and so 1 trailed him to his lair." "Good girl! Where Is It?" "Right across the road and upstairs. He can be arrested in five minutes." "You'll have to come along and point him out." "Oh, I'll do that." At the store doors they picked up a detective. When the trio had crossed the street and the Btairway had been pointed out, Mr. Marshall Bald to the girl: "There are a dozen offices up there, and a studio or two, and we mustn't bungle this case. Sure you can iden- i tify your man again?" "In an Instant." "I can't believe that any of these people are shoplifters. We'll look in on Paul first and ask him what he thinks. Right In here." They entered a studio. At a desk sat a young man with an open book [ before him. There were paintings on easels und paintings on the walls. "Hello, George!" from tho young man to Mr. Marshall.

Observations made upon patients with cranial defects show that when we are dreaming the brain is greater in volume than in deep sleep, and less than when we are awake. Thus this inter- i mediate volume of blood would indicate that dreams are an intermediate stage between unconsciousness and wakefulness, and their incomplete and Irregular intelligence would indicate the same thing. This increased circulatlon is usually due to sensory stimulation afTecting the vasomotor center and causing a return of blood to the head, with resultant increased consciousness. Contrary to popular belief. dreams in themselves do not con tribute to light or broken sleep in which they are present. Such a condition is due to the ever-present stimuli which, according to their strength or the degree of irritability of the cells, maintain even in sleep a vary- ! lug degree of consciousness of which the dreams are merely a manifestation. Therefore the fatiguing effect often also attributed to dreams is not due to them, but to the lighter degree of sleep and less complete cell-restoration which they accompany, and which are due to some irritation.?Fred W. i Eastman, In the Atlantic.

BlACK HAWK STATUE [ Lorado raft's Monument to Vanishing Race. /led Man, Towering Over Valley Long Indians' Sole Property, Seems Leaving the Site Reluctantly ?Made of Concrete. Oregon, 111.?With impressive ceremonies the statue of the famous Indian chief Black Hawk was dedicated at Eagle Nest camp, the summer colony of Chicago artists and writers, near j here. The statue of the great chieftain Is the work of Lorado Taft and stands on a 200-foot bluff across the river from the town and just outside the limits of the camp. Among the 1 members of the party at the dedication were some of the best known of fhlcago's artists, sculptors and writers. Edgar A. Bancroft was the principal tpeaker and presented the statue to the people of illinois. Responses were made by Dr. Charles C. Eastman and Miss Laura M. Cornelius. The statue of Black Hawk occupies a position on the highest point In Rock river valley. It is mammoth in size?being 47 feet high?and represents the work of four years. It is built of concrete and is expected to be a permanent monument to the red men who once roamed this section. The facial lineaments are of Black Hawk, but the sculptor's Idea was to make the statue typical of the vanishing North American Indians. The figure of Black Hawk Is represented girt in a blanket, reluctantly leaving the valley which served his tribe as council grounds long before the white man came to this continent. This remarkable statue, which is made of re-enforced concrete by a new process, is itself imposing, and has been placed upon a rock 200 feet above the water, the highest point in the picturesque Rock river valley. The statue \ Jg\ Statue of Black Hawk. Is visible for many miles, and hundreds of people came from adjacent cities in Illinois to view and admire It. Should this work weather well and preserve its fine contour and lines, Mr. Taft thinks It Is probable it will mark an era in the erection of statuary In re-enforced concrete. On leaving the grove which bordered the roadway climbing the bluffs, the statue appeared In its majesty on the bank of the river. There was no unveiling, as Mr. Taft wished the first sight of the monument to be one of its entire majesty. Ilelow, midstream, lies Margaret Fuller's island, sacred to the memory of Madam de Ossoli, the poetess who once lived here. Two miles distant, beyond the oak groves, rise the spires of Oregon. Mr. Taft's other works, tho Indian "Paducah" in the city of that name in Kentucky and '"The Eternal Silence," the Graves monument in Graceland cemetery, Chicago, have a similar feeling of majesty to that of ills latest creation.

An amusing incident is related of a young service matron who had relinquished her husband for two years and who, having before his departure insisted on a good photograph, applied herself assiduouly to the upbringing of her two-year-old baby with a view to the child's familiarity with her dis tinguished father. Each day she would call the baby girl to her and, kneeling beside her, would hold up the photograph, pointing out each feature to the child. One day the officer came home, and the baby girl, then four years old, was summoned. "Come, dear," said the mother in glee, "pspa has come home at last!" The child surveyed' the officer in perplexity and finally 6hook her head. "What is the matter, dear?" asked her mother. "Well," replied the child, "he looks something like my papa, but my papa hasn't any legs!" DISFIGURED WITH CRUSTS "Some time ago I was taken with eczema from the top of my head to my waist. It began with scales on my body. I suffered untold itching and burning, and could not sleep. I was greatly disfigured with scales and crusts. My ears looked as if they had been most cut off with a razor, and my neck was perfectly raw. I suffered untold agony and pain. I tried two doctors who said I had eczema in its fullest stage, and that it could not be cured. I then tried other remedies to no avail. At last, I tried a set of the genuine Cuticura Remedies, which cured me of eczema when all else had failed, therefore I cannot praise them too highly. "I Buffered with eczema about ten month3, but am now entirely cured, and I believe Cuticura Remedies are the best skin cure there is." (Signed) Miss Mattle J. ShafTor, R. F.

With hundreds of millions of Bibles In existence and several millions moro printed every year. It Is somewhat difficult for us to imagine how knowledge of the written Bible, and of the exact tenor of Its teachings could be lost. Some facts will help us to understand. There were at that time very few copies of the sacred books In existence. They were very expensive. It was customary for these copies to be kept in the temple, while the copy which (according to the law) was made for the use of the king, would most certainly have perished under such kings as Manasseh and Amon. Very few of the people could read the law even If It had been within their roach A modem Illustration is the case of Europe before the reformation, where even in the monasteries the Bible was almost an unknown book. Lu- j ther was twenty years old before he ever saw a copy. It Is plain that the finding of this book "was not the discovery of something unknown before, but the rescuing of the temple copy of the law from the hiding place In which it had long lain." It must have been the ancient copy of the law, and not a book written, as some critics think, by unknown persons in the reign of Manasseh, never seen or used among the Jews before. That an unknown book with no authority behind it should produce the effect on Josiah and his people, which this book of the law produced, borders on the absurd. Moreover many of the laws must have been familiar to Josiah for they had been acted upon by his ancestors in every reform, and by himself In the reforms he began six years before, in the twelfth year of his reign. It would have been impossible to Impose upon the people, nnd make them believe that a new book, never before heard of, was the law of their kingdom from God. When they brought out from the old chests In tho temple the money contributed for repairs, which had been deposited In the safest hiding place, Hllklah the priest, who had charge of the money, in searching the chest found at the bottom a book of the law of the Lord, the law given by Moses. Hilklah delivered the book to Shaphnn Kine Josiah's secretary of stnte, sot out on a voyage of 6,000 miles, from Gosport to Buenos Ay res, the headquarters of her new owner.

"I had a chance to get it at a bar gain, and. you know, my husband goes in for the flying!" the Bible so poorly that people were not interested in it. listened carelessly. and liked It less than if It had been unread. Then the printing of the Revised Version is so solid as to be unattractive and difficult to use. By lessening its authority. It makes a vast difference in the power of the Bible, whether it is received as only the thoughts of men. or as a message from God. By neglecting all the light that is shining upon it from many sources. Find the Bible?Get acquainted with it. Read it. Study It. Know what la in it. One of the best things in the Sunday school, in the Epworth League and Christian Endeavor movement is their emphasis on the daily reading of the Bible. Practice its precepts. Only by doing God's will can one understand it. Use It as a guide book for dally life. Sometimes boys in school and college have lltle Interest in their studies because they do not see any practical use in them. But as soon as j they see how they guide to success, or are essentia; to their alroi, they ! otBt tall of t8thw!is? as the fitting person to ?how It to the king. When Shaphan reported the contributions and the work on the tempie, he brought the book with him, told how It had been found, and read It to the king. The king heard the book read, nnd he assembled the elders and priests, and the Ix?vltes. They made a public covenant and pledge. The king himself first made a public covenant before the 1 ^ord. to walk after the I^ord, and to keep his commandments, with nil his heart. This was very similar to the great meeting under Joshua on the slopes of Mount Ebal and Gerlzim eight centurleB before, on taking possession of the Promised Land. The same motives were presented, and the same covenant made. And the king might well have said to the people as Joshua did "Ye are witnesses against yourselves that ye have chosen you the Lord, to serve him." And they said, "We are witnesses." The covenant was made under the power of the strongest and best motives that could be brought to bear upon them, when their minds were uplifted Into clearest vision, above the smoke and clouds or eartn. mat was the right time to make a decision. God has given us feelings on purpose to move us to decide aright. Joslah restored the regular tempi* services under the priests and Levltes; and he celebrated a passover. ouch as had not been celebrated from the days of the judges that Judged Israel, nor In all the days of the kings of Israel, nor of the kings of Judah. ! From all parts of the land the people flocked up to tho renovated temple and Joined with every demonstration of gladness in the eight days' festivity prepared for them. Thirty thousand males of full age attended. During all these days the services of the temple choir were brought Into requlistion? the singers of the famous clan of Asaph chanting. In relays, the psalms for the season, appointed centuries before by David, Asaph and .loduthun. The Bible may be lost today by neglecttng it?neglecting to read If dally. Neglecting family reading and prayers. Neglecting to read its stories to little chlldreu. By disobeying It. Disobeying Its precepts dulls the conscience, and the whole moral nature, so that It may be said, "Eyos have they, but they see not, ears have they but they hear not." By being so absorbed in worldly things that while he henreth the word wl?h his ears, "the care of this world, and the dereftfulness of riches, choke the word, and he becometh unfruitful." By keeping the Word far from dally life, so that all Its blessed truths nr?- admired, but not geared on to right action. They are to be hearers "as a very lovely song of one that hath a pleasant voice and can play well on an Instrument; for they hear thy words, but they do them not." By making the Bible unattractive.
