A New York millionaire is reported to have gone to his boyhood home in Indiana, bought the old barn door on which in youth he had carved his ini­ tials, and moved it to New York, to be get up somewhere in his city house. His reminiscences must be of an un­ usually cheerful kind. To most men the old barn door of their youth was the drop-curtain to scenes which they do not care to recall. The gunuboat Wolverine, which is said to be the firstiron ship ever con­ structed, was present at Put-in-Bay, on Lake Erie, when the monument to Commodore Peary was dedicated there on August 5. Since that ship was built, iron has been used for bridges and buildings, displacing stone and wood to such an extent that iron Snaking has become a far greater in­ dustry than lumbering ever was.

Waterloo, la.--Twelve persons were killed and 12 others injured jn the wreck of an express train on^the Rock ! Island railroad at Norris, la., Friday. | The express train, which was north- ! bound, jumped the track while going at full speed and collided with a freight train standing on the siding. The dead: P. B. Cliver, Waterloo, la.; Will Goodman, Waterloo, la.; John N. Watson. Waterloo, la.; C. L. Landphere, Sh<tfl Rock, la. ; W. ; Ray Dike, Ial; B. R.

The injured were brought to Wa­ terloo and placed in the Presbyterian hospital. Victims in Smoker. Nearly all of the dead and injured were in the smoking car, which was Immediately behind the baggage and mail cars. The smoking car was completely demolished. The northbound express was ten minutes late at Norris siding, which is a small station three miles north of Cedar Falls. Ia., and there a south­ bound freight train was awaiting the express, which came thundering along at a terrific speed in an effort to make up time. Crashed Into Freight Train. Just as the engine of the express was about to pass the freight engine the trucks of the express jumped the track and the engine crashed with terrible foree into the engine of the freight, wrecking both engines and telescoping the baggage and mail cars and demolishing the smoking car. The passengers in the two day coaches following the smoker escaped with only a violent shaking up. Rescuers were immediately at hand to care for the injured and to take the dead from among the wreckage. Qr- Keefe's Heroism. Sitting in the midst of the wreckage was Dr. Charles J. Keefe, who, al­ though badly injured, little realized how seriously he was hurt. With heroic fortitude, while suffering in­ tense pain, he waved the rescuers aside and directed them to the assist­ ance of those whom he thought were in a more serious condition than him­ self, for in front of him and behind him on all sides were men writhing and groaning in the agony of their sufferings. Physicians and hospital attendants were hastily taken to Norris on a spe­ cial train made up in this city and, pending their arrival, such medical re­ lief as the little station afforded was given the injured. FARMERS SHOULD BUY COAlt BIO STOCKS HAVE BEEN SHIPPED INTO NORTH DAKOTA. Commissioner Lane Finds Railways Are Doing Their Part to Avert Another Fuel Famine. 'St. Paul. -- Franklin H. Lane of the interstate commerce commis­ sion, is in St. Paul conferring with representatives of western railroad lines in respect to the coal and grain transportation situation and the pos­ sible repetition of the shortage and car congestion of a year ago. The com­ missioner desires to acquaint himself in advance with the probable short­ ages in coal or cars. Commissioner Lane Thursday held a conference with President Louis W. Hill, W. H. Begg and W. W. Brough- ton, of the Great Northern railway, from statements made by the railway men, the situation in respect to the coal supply in North Dakota Beemed to be that an extra large- amount of -cokl has been transported over the Great Northern road to the retail coal dealers of North (Dakota towns and cities, but this large supply has not been purchased by the farmers. As to about 90 per cent, of the re­ tail coal dealers, it appears that they have enlarged their shed capacity and have stocked up to the limit and will not at present handle any more coal. In Montana, Idaho and eastern Washington the situation is less hope­ ful. There Is an-indication of heavy ship­ ments of coal direct from Duluth to the west. From the testimony offered by the Great Northern railway men and from conclusions reached by Commissioner Lane, it would seem that the situation would be relieved greatly if the farm­ ers would stock up with coal now, rather than wait until later in the season. The commissioner expects to remain here about three days and on Friday will hear representatives of the North­ ern Pacific. FURNISHING. BACKBONE TO MOROCCO. FIVE YEARS FOR LOUIS GLASS. San Francisco Telephone Man Is Sen­ tenced for Bribery. San Francisco. -- Five years for Louis Glass, was the news mes- sage that sped with incredible rapid­ ity to all parts of the city Wednesday morning from the Temple Sherith Israel at California and Webster streets, where was imposed the sen­ tence that brought to a dramatic close the second trial of the vice president and former general manager of the Pacific Telephone and Telegraph com­ pany, convicted last week of the crime of bribery, a crime whose ex­ treme punishment under the law of this state is 14 years. Only a small crowd, made up for the most part of lawyers and newspaper men, witness­ ed the imposition of sentence. After his attorney had applied for and been granted a 30 day arrest of judgment, within whose expiration they will apply for bail and begin the prosecution of an appeal, Mr. Glass was removed by the sheriff to the county jail. The crime for which Louis Glass was sentenced to San Quentln and of which he maintains his innocence, was the bribing of Supervisor Thomas F. Lonergan in the sum of $5,000 to vote against the application of the Home Telephone company tor a franchise in this city. Cooperation is invited by the mayor of Lichfield, England, in repairing the house of Michael Johnson, where the son. Samuel--the great Dr. Johnson- was born. In the house was the book­ shop where proud young Samuel re­ fused to stand behind the counter. Years later, after his father's death, Johnson made a pilgrimage of re­ pentance to Litchfield*, and with head uncovered, stood for an hour in the rain before t£e shop. President Buchanan had the mis­ fortune to be in a position which re­ quired qualities which he did not pos­ sess, yet he had some fine traits. It has recently been disclosed that in 1859 a railroad company, sent him a pass over its lines. He returned it with the statement that it had been the practice of his life to pay his fare because he was opposed to the whole system of granting priv­ ileges to persons not connected with the railroads. It has taken more than 4 years for this feeling to be- .come strong enough to induce con­ gress to prohibit the issuing of passes on interstate railroads. TEN DEAD IN HOTEL FIRE. "About this time," as the almanacs used to say, there is always a fren­ zied cry for help from the harvest- fields of the west. This year the same cry has been echoed from the east. Even in some parts of thickly settled New England, offers of $2.75 a day have failed to procure enough men to harvest the J;ay crop. Fa­ thers whose sons feel that they are in need of new tennis rackets, golf clubs or "home gymnasium" appar­ atus, says Youth's Companion, ffhmild paste this bit of information in the sons' hats. Serious Loss of Life in Disaster at Shelton, Wash. Tacoma, Wash.--Ten persons are known to have lost their lives in the burning of the Webb hotel at Shelton, 20 miles from here, early Thursday morning. Another person is dying and yet others may be found in the ruins. The fire was discovered about 1:40 in the morning. It had started in the hotel annex, probably from a lighted cigar dropped in the sample room. The hotel was a three-story structure The top floor was occupied by lodgers, but the exact number is not known. Within a few minutes of the time the fire was discovered the hotel was a mass of flames. Screams and cries for help were coming from almost every window and dozens of people risked their own lives to help bring out the unfortunates. Those in the upper stories were cut off from the stairway and seven or eight jumped from the windows before help could reach them from the outside. New Yellow Fever Cases in Cuba. Washington. -- Two new cases of yellow fever in Cuba were re­ ported to the war department Thurs day by Chief Surgeon Taylor, one at Cienfuegos and one at Campo Flor ides. Doctor Accused of Manslaughter Laporte, Ind.--Walter W.

ROBBERS DYNAMITE A BANK TAKE $8,000 FROM INSTITUTION IN FRANKFORT, 8. D. Citizens Held at Bay by Armed Men- Bandits Make Escape on a Handcar. Frankfort, S. D.--The James River bank, at this place, was dynamited between two and four o'clock Friday morning and the robbers escaped with $8,000 in cash and valuable papers. Seven charges of dynamite were used in blowing up the vault and the safe. Persons<aroused by the explo­ sion were prevented from interfering by guards who were stationed at the front and rear of the bank. Frank Fitzpatrick, a hotel guest, who sought to break through the line of guards, was shot. His wound is not danger­ ous. Many shots were fired to hold on­ lookers at bay. After looting the bank the robbers broke into a section house on the Chi­ cago & Northwestern railway and se­ cured a handcar on which they made their escape. A posse has been organized and is seeking the robbers. RECEIVER FOR IRON COMPANY. New York.--The failure of Watson & Co.; members of the New York Stock and Produce exchanges, and of the Chicago Board of Trade, was an- nounced in those exchanges Thursday. No cause was assigned for the failure nor was any estimate of the liabilities and assets made public. The firm has had extensive connec­ tions in the west, maintaining offices in Duluth, Minneapolis, Fargo and Winnipeg. It is said to have carried on one of the biggest grain broker­ age businesses in the country besides trading actively in railroad stocks, particularly those of the Great North­ ern and Northern Pacific railroads. The members of the firm are Louis T. WTatsOn, Henry P. Watson, Charles E. Anderson and Herschell V. Jones. Louis T. Watson is the only member of the firm residing in this city, the others being residents of Minneapolis. One of Bank Wrecker Harper's Con­ cerns in Trouble. Bristol, Va.--Judge A. M. Skeen of the United States court here Wednesday appointed Col. L. O. Pettit of Big Stone Gap receiver of the Union Iron and Steel corporation of New York, owning furnaces in Virginia, Ohio, Michigan and New Jersey. The Union Iron and Steel corpora­ tion is an offshoot of the Union Steel and Chain corporation--the latter a $60,000,000 concern--organized sever­ al years ago by Edward L. Harper, for­ merly of Cincinnati. It is reported that the receivership is a plan of the creditors of E. L. Har­ per to uncover his assets. Obligations aggregating several million dollars are held by Cincinnati and Chicago bank­ ers against Harper, as a result of the failure of the Fidelity bank of Cin­ cinnati about 20 years ago. Harper, it was alleged, wrecked this institu­ tion in an attempt to corner the wheat market. For this he was sentenced to eight years in the Ohio peniten­ tiary. OIL TRUST INDICTED AGAIN. True Bills Returned Against It and Two Railroads. Jamestown, N. Y. -- An investiga­ tion which was begun before the federal grand jury in this city early in July was concluded Friday and the jury discharged by Judge Hazel, of the western district of New York. Before adjournment the jury found four indictments, one each against the Standard Oil company, the New York Central Railroad company, the Pennsylvania Railway company, and one against the two railroads jointly. The indictment against the Stand­ ard Oil company and those against the railway companies separately con­ tained 54 counts, all of them charg­ ing a violation of the interstate com­ merce law, either in accepting or granting rebates on oil shipments from Olean to points in Vermont. The law provides a penalty of $20,000 for each provision violated or each count; therefore, if convictions are made ac­ cording to the indictments returned, the three companies will be subject to a total fine of $876,000.

Failure Follows Trolley Wreck. Mattoon, 111. -- Following the wreck last Friday that resulted in the loss of 17 lives, the Mattoon City Rail­ way company and the Central Illinois Traction company, owned by Chicago stockholders, including Judge Peter S. Grosscup of the United States circuit court, Thursday went into the hands of a receiver. The bill filed says that the companies are unable to meet their debts. Warship Coming to St. Louis. Washington--Acting Secretary New­ berry has ordered the tug Lebanon to tow the converted yacht Huntress from League Island, Pa., to Pensacola, Fla. There the Huntress will be form­ ally turned over to the naval militia of Missouri, a crew from which will take the vessel to St. Louis. This will be the first time that a warship has been permanently stationed as far up the Mississippi river as St. Louis. Re­ ports to the navy department from the recruiting parties in the middle west show the development of a re­ markable interest in naval affairs in that section. It is the young men of the navy who are the expert marksmen. The average age of the crews that man­ ned the 12-inch guns in the recent tar- jet practice of the Atlantic fleet was years, and the six-inch gun crews averaged six months younger. An insane patient, who escaped from • New York asylum furnished a clew to his whereabouts by sending back •ouvenir postal cards. The officials knew as soon as they began to re eeive the cards that the :nan was stin iBfftne. May Burn Frisco Hospital. San Francisco.--The board of health Friday recommended to the board of supervisors that the city and county hospital, which has sheltered a num­ ber of plague cases, be burned. Snow Avalanche Buries Fifty. Santiago, Chili.--Fifty persons are said to have been buried alive by a vast avalanche of snow that obliter­ ated the Chilian custom house at Jun- cal.

Charles E. Hughes. Man and Girl Drowned Together. Muscatine, Ia.--Bodies of a young man and a girl clasped in each other's arms were found in the Mississippi river Thursday. There is nothing to *?tablish their identity. Failure Follows Trolley Wreck. Mattoon, 111.--Following the wreck that resulted in the loss of 17 lives, the Mattoon City Railway company and the Central Illinois Traction com­ pany, Thursday went Into the hands of a receiver. Falling Tree Kills Seven. Raleigh, N. C.--Details of the disas­ trous effect of a lightning stroke at Buckhorn Falls, in Chatham county, show that seven men were killed and ten injured: A heavy storm had forced 50 to 70 men to seek shelter in the cement house of the Buckhorn Falls' power plant. Lightning struck a large tree back of the house and the tree, splitting, fell over on the building, in­ stantly killing two white men and five negroes and injuring three whites and seven negroes, all of them residents of this vicinity. Col. Howze Lacks Authority in the* West Point Difficulty. Washington. -- If Col. Howze, commandant of cadets at West Point, threatened to dismiss a whole class because the members sent one of their number to "Coventry," he overrated his authority, according to the officials of the war department. The power of dismissal in such cases is not confided to any official of lower rank than the president. The extent of the commandant's power would be temporarily to suspend the offending cadets and to recommend dismissal, first to the superintendent of the academy, Col. Scott, and then to the secretary of war and the president. War department officials do not be­ lieve, however, that Col. Howze went to this length, and they feel confident that the matter is one that can be handled by the faculty and the super­ intendent of the academy without ref­ erence to the department. PICKPOCKETS FIGHT CONDUCTOR Lively Encounter with Thieves on a Rock Island Train. Omaha, Neb.--Three armed crooks, who had picked the pockets of a num­ ber of Rock Island passengers at the station in Lincoln, and attempted to continue their game on the train, en­ gaged in a desperate encounter with Conductor Henry Duval on the Rocky Mountain limited, near Alvo station, about one o'clock Friday morning. After standing off Conductor Duval with a knife, the men leaped from the moving train, about eight miles west of Alvo, and escaped in the darkness. The Rock Island special agents have been sent to the vicinity of their es­ cape with good descriptions of the Wilhelmina Bache Set Free. Madison, Wis.--With every pos­ sible indication* that she was not guilty of the crime of murder, for which she has already served 16 years of a life sentence in the state prison, Wil­ helmina Bache was released from Waupun prison Friday. Her life sen­ tence for the murder of Michael Sell, of Shawano county, was commuted by Gov. Davidson. She went to the peni­ tentiary when she was 17 years old. Famous Composer Dead. Bergen, Norway.--Edward Hagerup Grieg, the composer, died here Wed­ nesday. He intended sailing for Christiania Tuesday and bis baggage was already on board a steamer, when he was taken sick. Metz Tiger New Creek Chief. Washington.--The president Wed­ nesday authorized the secretary of the interior to appoint Sub-Chief Metz Tiger, of the Creek Indians, to suc­ ceed Gen. Pleasant Porter as chief of the tribe Good Work at Athletic Meet. Norfolk, Va.--The features Friday of the Jamestown exposition athletic meet were the breaking of the junior record for throwing the 56-pound weight by P. McDonald, of the Irifi(h- American club; the lowering of the half mile running record three sec­ onds by F. C. Shehan, of Boston, and the pole vaulting of E. T. Cook, Irish- American Athletic club, who cam# within four inches of the world's rec­ ord. The events were closely con­ tested, the Irish-American team win­ ning the day's honors on points. Strikers Become Fire Bugs. Antwerp.--The striking dock labor­ ers Wednesday night set fire to an­ other lumber yard, and stacks of lum­ ber covering 3,000 square yards were soon blazing furiously. An entire regi­ ment of troops was called out at ten o'clock to assist the firemen, but their efforts were futile. The loss was esti­ mated at $800,000. Shortly after mid­ night the rioters set fire to two ware­ houses. Officers of the militia declar­ ed the strikers were in a dangerous temper as free liquor was being dis­ tributed to them In saloons. Indictment Served on 8enator. Boise, Idaho. -- An indictment returned last April by the fed­ eral grand jury against Senator Wil­ liam E. Borah and other prominent men, charging conspiracy to defraud the United States government, was served on the defendants Wednesday. Cleveland, Or--The contest between l^yor Tom L: Johnson and Congress­ man Theodore E. Burton, as the Dem­ ocratic and Republican nominees, re­ spectively, for mayor *>f Cleveland, promises to be the most exciting politi­ cal event in the history of this city, not excepting campaigns some years ago in which the late Senator Hanna was the central figure. The' indorsement of Mr. Burton's candidacy by President Roosevelt and Secretary of War Taft, it is said, may be followed by speeches here by both later on in the campaign. The presi­ dent is to start from Cleveland on the coming trip of the inland wa­ terways commission on its tour of inspection and investigation on the Great -Lakes and down the Mississippi river, and Repub­ lican leaders believe that while here he may be induced to make a speech urging Burtons election. The Democratic executive commit­ tee has called the city convention, at which Mayor Johnson and the ticket with him is to be named for Septem­ ber 19. Mayor Johnson has declined to discuss the matter since the announce­ ment of Burton as candidate, but it is said he has assurances that W. J. Bryan and other leading Democrats from other parts of the country will come here to make speeches in his behalf. Cleveland is regarded as a normal­ ly Republican city by from 7,000 to 10,- 000 majority in national elections, and up to the advent of Mayor Johnson six years ago the Republicans had ruled the city and county for years with the exception of isolated cases, such as the election of Mayor Farley, follow­ ing the defeat of the McKisson ad­ ministration. In selecting Mr. Burton to oppose Mayor Johnson, the Democratic lead­ ers admit that the Republicans have put forward their strongest man, and while they claim Johnson will win they concede privately that it is any­ body's race. It was Burton who defeat­ ed Johnson after the latter had serv­ ed two terms in congress. Since that campaign Mr. Burton has continued to represent the district in congress. EAGLES' AERIE BURNED. Handsome Home of Order in, Philadol» phia Destroyed by Flames. Philadelphia.--Eaigle Temple the home of Philadelphia Aerie 42, fra­ ternal order of Eagles, on Spring Garden street near Broad, was de­ stroyed by' fire Sunday. Nothing but the walls of the building remain stand­ ing and the loss is given at $100,000, covered by insurance. The building was purchased by the Eagles six years ago for $55,000, and since last April $45,000 had been spent on it. Every floor had been rebuilt and handsomely furnished and masons were at work putting on an ornament­ al stone front. BULLETS ROUT SOLDIERS' MOB. MIKKELSEN PARTY IS SAFE. All HAIL PE-RU-NA. A Case of STOMACH CATARRH. HAUY QBrie H|*, ' Miss Mary O'Brien, 306 Myrlle Ave., Brooklyn, N. Y., writes: "Peruna cured me In five weeks of catarrh of the stomach, after suffering for four years and doctor­ ing without effect. In common with ot-hes: grateful ones who h§ve been benefited by your discovery, I say. AH halt to'Peruna." Mr, H. J. Henneman, Oakland, Neb., writes: "I waited before writing1 to you about my sickness, catarrh of the stom­ ach, which I had over a year ago. "There were people who told me it would not stay cured, but I am sure that I am cured, for I do not feel any more ill effects, have a good appetite and am getting fat. So I am, and will say to all, I am cured for good. "I thank you for your kindness. "Peruna will be our house medicine bereatter." Catarrh of the stomach is also known In common parlance as dyspepsia, gas­ tritis and indigestion. No medicine will be of any permanent benefit except it removes the catarrhal condition. Gained Strength and Flesh. Miss Julia Butler, R. R. 4, Appleton, Wis., writes she had catarrh of the stomach, causing loss of sleep and appe­ tite, with frequent severe pains after eating. Sh<3 took Pernua, her appetite returned, she gained sti-ength, flesh and perfect health. Why Advertising Pays. "You will be pressed for money oftener because you have no advertis­ ing bills to pay than because you have," observes the Buffalo News. "Big advertising bills and big bank balances grow, together, out of the same publicity campaigns." The mer­ chant who holds down his expense ac­ count by cutting out advertising saves money just the way the railroads would if they should stop buying coal for their locomotives. Without coal the wheels won't turn; without pub­ licity trade comes to a standstill. It pays to throw silver out of the window that gold may come in at the door. Fifty Who Seek to Release Jailed Comrade Are Dispersed. Junction City, Kan.--A mob of near­ ly 50 soldiers of the farriers' school at Fort Riley came here about one o'clock Sunday morning for the pur­ pose of releasing a comrade who "was confined in the county jail. The sheriff and city police force were notified of their coming and from positions in windows above the jail opened a fire that quickly dispersed the Mob as it sought to force an entrance. Members Escaped Over Ice After Their Vessel Went Down. Chicago.--Cable dispatches from, London stated that the Leffingwell- Mikkelsen expedition to the frozen north was safe. The* members of the party had crossed the ice to a place of safety after their ship the Duchess of Bedford, had sunk. Raisuli's "Ultimatum" Received1. Tangier.--The British legation here has received by courier Raisuli's "ulti­ mate" terms for the release of Caid Sir Henry MacLean.

Umiriah, Persian Armenia.--The council has telegraphed parliament that more Turkish troops are arriving and advancing daily. Harvester Combine Pays $35,(MX) Fine. Austin, Tex.--The International Harvester company, of Wisconsin, has pleaded guilty to a violation of the Texas anti-trust laws, and paid a fine of $35,000. Brick Concern in Trouble. Springfield, 111.--Creditors of the McNeil Pressed Brick company of Jerseyville, 111., with, a plant valued at about $50,000, filed a petition in the United States circuit court Thurs­ day alleging that the corporation is insolvent and asking that it be ad­ judged bankrupt. They allege that the company allowed an attachment to be issued in the circuit court of Jersey county In favor of certain creditors on Au*. 20, and permitted the sheriff of Jersey county to levy on all the stock on hand. Famous Cliff House Burned. San Francisco, Cal.--The Cliff house, San Francisco's first attraction for tourists, was burned to the ground. The fire started about 5 o'clock and an hour later a blackened heap of ruins was all that remained of the famous structure. The Cliff house had been closed for some time, as the new lessee, John Tait, was remodeling the interior. Workmen were about the place until noon and then departed fOi* the day. How the fire started is a mystery. This was the second Cliff bouee to be destroyed by fire. Count Kamarovsky Dies. Venice. -- Count Kamarovsky, a jolonel of the National guard and oouncillor of.state, who was shot at ,*ls residence here September 5 by Nicholas Naumoff, son of an ex-gpvern- or of Perm, died Sunday. Cornell's Quarterback Dies. Ithaca, N. Y.--Word has been re­ ceived here of the death Sunday at his home in Evanston. 111., of James Herbert Jamieson, quarterback on the Cornell football team. He had been ill with typhoid fever. Of Little Faith. At the Pine Grove camp ground in Canaan, Conn., a little girl was re­ moved by her mother for disobedience and being naughty to her playmates. The child was told that when she said her prayers at night she should seek forgiveness and ask the Lord to help her be a better girl. Here is the prayer which the youngster made un­ der protest: "Oh, Lord, I want you to help me to mind my mamma, to help me to be a better girl, to help me to be good to my playmates, to--but, pshaw, Lord, what's the use? I 'spect you don't believe half I'm saying." A Hopfttass Case. "Yes," said the business man, "I have given up trying to collect that lit­ tle bill from Bilkins. You see, he Is a big, muscular f<?llow, and he used to throw my collectors out." "Then why didn't you employ ft woman collector?" inquired a writer in Spare Moments. "He couldn't da that to i »/oman." "That's what I thought, so I got one and sent her round, but she never came back." "Why not?" "He married her." Statue Finally Completed. When Alfred Stevens designed the noble monument to the duke of Wel­ lington in St. Paul's cathedral, Lon­ don, he intended that his work should be crowned by an equestrian statue. But Stevens died before his design was carried out. Now, 32 years after his death, the equestrian statue has been completed and before long will be placed in position. FAMILY FOOD. Crisp, Toothsome and Requires No Cooking. A little boy down in N. C. asked his mother to write an account of how Grape-Nuts food had helped their fam­ ily. She says Grape-Nuts was first brought to her attention on a visit to Charlotte, where she visited the Mayor of that city who was using the food by the advice of his physician. She says: "They arrive so much good from It that tut.? never pass a day without using it. While I was there I used the Food regularly. I gained about 15 pounds and felt so well that when I re­ turned home I began using Grape-Nuta in our family regularly. "My little 18 months old baby short­ ly after being weaned was very ill with dyspepsia and teething. She was sick nine weeks and we tried every-- thing. She became so emaciated that it was painful to handle her and wo thohght we were going to lose her. One day a happy thought urged me to try Grape-Nuts soaked in a little warm milk. "Well, It worked like a charm and she began taking it regularly and im­ provement 6et in at once. She is now getting well and round and fat as fast as possible on Grape-Nuts. "Sometime ago several of the family were stricken with LaGrippe at the same time, and during the worst stages we could not relish anything in the shape of food hut Grape-Nuts arid oranges, everything else nauseated us.- "We all appreciate what your fa­ mous food has done for otir family."
