St. Josepit, Mien., Sept., 1901. Last
winter I caught a tnitidencolil which ('
veloped into an -unpleasant catarrh
of the bead and throat, depriving me of my
appetite and usual good Bpirits. A friend
who had been cured by reruns advised me
to try it and 1 sent tor a bottle at once,

the phlegm had loosened, and I felt better,

WANTED TO KNOW
Tho Truth About Grape-Nuts Food.
It doesn't matter so much what
you hear about a thing, it's what you
know that counts. And correct
knowledge is most likely to come
from personal experience.
"About a year ago," writes a N. Y.
man, "I was bothered by Indigestion,
especially during the forenoon. I
tried several remedies without any
permanent Improvement.
"My breakfast usually consisted of
oatmeal, steak or chops, bread, coffee
and some frnit.
"Hearing so much about Grape
Nuts, I concluded to give it a trial
and find out If all I had heard of it
was true.
"So I began with Grape-Nuts and
cream, two soft boiled eggs, toast, a
cup of Postum and some fruit. Be
fore the end of the first week I was
rid of the acidity of the stomach and
felt much relieved. ,
"By the end of the second week ail
traces of Indigestion had disappeared
and I was In first rate health once
more. Before beginning this course
of diet I never had any appetite for
lunch, but now I can enjoy a hearty
meal at noon time." "There's a Rea

KEEPING THE GUESTS
Feed Them Salt Beef, Salt Fish, and Herdtack, and They Won't Come
Again. It't Cruet, But Effective Eat Good Food Yourself
On the Sly and Let Them Sleep on the Bare Ground.
New Yorkers who spend their vaca
tion under canvas In une of Ihe many
tent settlements within a fhort ride
of the city have had many complica
tions to overcome. The chief of these
Is trying to entertain friends who in
sist upon visiting the campers. No
sooner is the camper installed In his
tent by seashore or river than his
city friends begin to hint that they
would enjoy a week-end out of doors.
The way the city friends figure it
out is this: "Llving'in a tent is cheap.
We should certainly be no extra ex
pense to tho camper and he should
bo glad to see his friends and .put
them up for the night. We don't mind
roughing it a bit, and he knows It."
If the first hint fails to bring nn
Invitation there are more hints and
then some more. Finally tho camper
comes up with the invitation. He
knows that it will disrupt the daily
routine of tent life, the quiet life he
has chosen to recuperate from tho
grind oJ business, but there is no
way out of it, he thinks.
But there is one way out of it and
that way has been discovered and
put into practice by one of the camp
ers now in tho city of tents on Long
Island not far from the Rockaway
Park Station. John Engler is one of
the campers there. He loves the tent
life and has been a camper every
summer for many years.
"It is an expensive luxury, this liv
ing In a tent," said Mr. Engler, the
other day. "It costs more to live down
here than it does in the city. One's
friends who have never camped out
do not know this. They think it Is a
cheap way to spend the summer, and
they do not think they are asking
much to be put up in the tent over
Saturday and Sunday. Well, it's all
right, this entertaining business, once
in a while. But when you have a lot
of friends the bills run up to large
figures. Food is high down here. Then,
too, one does not care to have a lot
of visitors taking up all the room in
the tent. When we come down here
we expect to rest. You can't do that
and keep open tent to your friends.
"I put up with it for several sum
mers. This season I decided to put a
stop, to Nie visiting. And I have done
it. We ate living in peace for one
summer. And the only reason I am
going to tell how the visits were stop
pod Is to Set other campera who have
experienced the same thing know how
I did it. I know that my frind3 will
bo angry when they see this. But I
am making myself a martyr in a good
cause, so here goes:
"We had been here less than a week
this year when we got the first bid to
entertain a week-end party of three
friends who considered that we ought
to put them up Saturday and Sunday.
' 'Come along,' I told them when tho
subject came up. 'We shall be glad to
have you. But you will have to put up
with hard fare and hard bods. We are
living next to nature out here, and we
haven't any of the luxuries that city
life gives.'
" 'Oh! we don't mind that a bit,' re
plied the enthusiastic friends. 'If you
can stand It ail summer we can stand
it for a couple of days, and will be
glad to.
"So the three friends were booked
to arrive the next Saturday morning.
My wife and I hustled around to the
supply store and laid in a stock of
salt fish. We also got some saltpeter
and gave the fish an extra salting
down. Then we got some corned beef
and gave that an extra salting. We al
so bought some hardtack.
"Our friends arrived according to
schedule. We had a breakfast prepared
salt fish and salt beef and hardtack.
The three visitors ate with a show
of relish. Then they went out for a
dip in tho ocean. My wife apd I got
cut some real breakfast and ate it.
Then we Joined our friends on the
beach. ,
"For dinner we had salt fish, salt
beef, and hardtack. The guests did not
cat so heartily. After dinner they went
out and my wife and I got some real
food on tho sly. For supper the guests
were also served with salt fish, salt
beef, and hardtack. My wife and I
made excuses for the scant fare and
told the guests that wo had adopted
that diet on our physician's order, as
we were not very well. The guest3
ate scarcely any of the salt food at
supper, and afterward they went out,
and I suspect they made straight for
a hotel and had a square meal.
"When bedtime came we showed
the three guests to their sleeping
places. We had rigged up an annex in
the rear and had scooped out. three
hollows in the sand, with a little pile
of sand at the end of each.
" 'Here are your beds,' I told the
visitors. 'You will find It all right here
on the sand. We haven't enough mat
tresses to spare. You will sleep all
right, for you don't mind roughing it,
I know.'
"We left them there. I don't imagine
they slept much. Next morning for
breakfast we served salt meat, salt
fish, and hardtack. The three guests
loked at each other askance. Just be
fore dinner they came In from tho
beach and told me they had decided
to go back to town. They were not
feeling very well, they Bald, and did
not want to fall 111 down here away
from a doctor.
"Of course my lfe and I expressed
our disappointment at this, and Inquir
ed if the food had anything to do with
it
" 'Oh, no. not at all,' the guests has
tened to say.
"They left on the next train and

my wife and I hugged each other. The
visitors went bnck to town and spread
the news that my wife and I were
starving ourselves to death on a salt
meat diet. So I think most of the old
time visitors of other years must have
heard it, for since that visit we have
had no more bids for week-end en
tertainments and we are heartily glad
of it. For the first summer wo havo
been here we are really enjoying our
selves without foar of interruption."

TREASURE WAITING FOR OWN
ERS. Cellars That Rival Aladdin's Cave
, London Banks That Hold Un
claimed Wealth.
If all the gold, silver and jewelry
now lying dormant in the storerooms
of the, great banks of this country
were to be arrayed in a Btage scene,
a spectacle of glittering magnificence
would bo presented beside which the
splendor of Aladdin's cave would pale
to insignificance, says London "Tit
bits." There would be heavy gold plate,
solid silver heirloms and Jewels sur
passing in beauty the headgear of a
Maharajah.
For instance, who knows how much
plate nnd jewelry was sent over to
England just prior to the French
Revolution? That its value Is untold
many people know. Some of the own
ers perished during the Commune
troubles; others died before they
were able to reveal the secret of their
hidden treasure. Consequently, there
are doubtless In France to-day many
people blissfully ignorant of the
wealth here In England, to which they
are entitled. And ignorant they will
remain.
What becomes of all this wealth?
Also, what becomes of the hundreds
of unclaimed bank balances? It is
said of a certain bank, famous for Its
architeotural magnificence and sur
rounding beauty, that the whole strut
ture was raised out of these unclainv
ed balances and dividends.
Mr. Bottomley, M. P., Is doing his
utmost to push through the House of
Commons a bill, the object'of which
Is to bring Into the possession and
control of the state this dormant
wealth now lying in the vaults of our
great banking institutions. Mr. Bot
tomley, who is unusually well in
formed, declares that the banks them
selves could not know what was lying
in their vaults on which dividends
havo not been claimed; that there la
over 1,00(1,000 to-day In the shape
of unpaid dividends in tho possession
of the joint stock companies in this
country.
There is ono joint stock bank In
the city of London which, until a few
years ago, had as a customer an ec
centric old lady who had 28,0l)(,
standing to her credit. Once at least
every year she would drive up to the
bank, ask for tho manager, and draw
a cheque for the entire sum. Having
counted the notes and checked the in
terest, she was well satisfied as to the
security of her money, and then dlsap
peared. For the last seven years the
hank has seen nothing of that old
lady. Tho 2S,000 is lying in the Joint
stock bank.
But what about the lady? Has she
any relatives? Are they aware of her
wealth, or is she, in fact, living?
It might be comical in one aspect,
but what about the dependents of that
poor old lady? Again, a wealthy man
was in the habit of having all his
money on deposit in various banks. A
few years age he was in a railway
accident and was killed. At this mo
ment, though ho was known to have
been a wealthy man, his family are
living in absolute want, and almost
penury, because they aro utterly un
ablo to ascertain where his money is
at present lodged. Inquiries have been
made, but the banks always reply
that they give no information on such
subjects. A third case Is that of an
officer who lost his life in the South
African war. Within a week of his
death he wrote saying that if anything
befell him he had 6,000 in the bank
for the assistance of his family. That
family to-day cannot find out where
any portion of that money is.
Regarding jewelry and plato, one
well known West End bank alone has
admittedly two millions' worth of se
curities waiting for lawful claimants
to come along and be put in possession
of them.
