A RATIONAL FOOD CURE.

one Of the well-known grocers i'm Wash

Of many OF the brainy, representative
men of the country, says: Il nave be-
come an enthusiastic consumer OF Grape
Nuts. 1t has constituted solely my m0rp-
ing and evening meal for the past eight
months. Previous TO this, wOrnOut with
overwork broken down in health. dys-

had at the store for my supper "a
dish and half dish, and was impressed.
perhaps unfavorably, with Its richness.
perceiving at the same time how very
appropriately the new food was named.
Strange as it may appear its effect was
almost at once apparent Seated that
evening at my home, / remarked 10 the
family that il was the first time in a
whole year that l had felt like myself
/ was much eiated, and. naturally, at
tributed the change to Grape-Nuts. Ny
Improvement since then mas been con-
tinuous. my health is better than ever
before look ten years younger, and
am untirng in strength" CThe gentle
man does not care 10 have his name
quoted publicly, but his store can be
found at 726 Eighteenth street, Washing
ton, ID. c.
Now. for the reason. The man or
woman wornOut with OYerwOrk or ner-
vous prostration, will find an immediate
gain in strength by the use Of Grape
Nuts and cream, because of the fact that
the natural phosphate of potash obtained
from certain parts Of the grains, is one
of the strong elements in Grape-Nuts.
and this is presented TO the system In the
form demanded by nature; not as a drug
The system takes up the needed parti-
cles OF phosphate OF potash and II Is now
known that the soft, gray matter which
fills the delicate nerve centres through
ont the body. as well as the brain and the
solar plexus, can only be made and re-
newed from day to day by the action OF
phosphate of potash on albumen. Albu-
men is one OF the principal elements OF
all food. but unless albumen has with II
I'm The system a sufficient amount Of
phosphate of potash, IL cannot be trans
formed into brain matter without the ac-
ton of this particular element, for there
Is no known way 10 make gray matter
except by the combination Of albumen
and phosphate of potash.
Therefore. when one uses Grape-Nuts.
ne makes use of the best scientific know
ledge of the day In the selection Of food
for inyigorating and revitalizing the body.
This food has become famous through
out the world. and 1t is 10 be found In
every first-class grocery store. Grape
Nuts are made by the Postum Company
at their factories, In Battle Creek.

1t Is seldom that a parish In the mis-

ing two bishops al the same time, but
that has been the good fortune Of Boise,
in having the first Bishop of Idaho,
Bishop futile, and the new Bishop, with
i'm its borders IL is thirty-three years
since Bishop futile came 10 his vast Juris-
diction. and found the present structure
of ST. Michaers church. the only church
within the limits of Idaho, Utah, and
Montana. During his years Of hard labor
IN those pioneer days he built churches
and made churchmen, so that on ms
visit this year. he finds the children or
those whom he baptized years ago the
mainstay OF the Church in many OF the
missions Ii Is an interesting -act that
when Bishop futile was elected, he hod
not reached the canonical age FOR conse-
Grafton. but, after n hard years work
went to New York and was consecrated.
Large congregations greeted nm
wherever he went. people driving long
distances 10 see him again.
No less hearty Is the welcome gwen

II Is conducted by Mr.. G. a. Lockhart.
who IS the inventor and expositor OF IT,
and who gives daily explanation OF It,
A mil-end sale is a sale AT whlcn
everybody gets what they want-that Is.

the wife and the sweet girls who are
learning To be careful housewives are
the chief patrons and benehciaries OF

They sell their surplus stock, while the
purchasers get the goods OF every knd
M prices which are astonlshingly low

any other way
A mill-end sale Is not sale Of picked
over remnants. Ii is a sale OF piece
goods. clothes. and crosses OF all sorts OF
articles, which have not been offered for
sale heretofore in quantities to suit.
The customer does not have to take
dozen articles or a bolt Of cloth that II
not needed I'm order TO get what Is neeuec
at low price.
Mr.. Lockhart has invented plan by
which the miscalculating manufactures
can sell the surplus OF product that he
has not been able TO sell TO jobbers by
arranging with a lot OF merchants to sell
the articles separately 10 retail custo-
mers cheaper than they could be sold by
the ordinary means of distribution.
Tho mills sell all of their left-cvss
stock, which is as good as any stock they
have made at once to one man. OF
course they sell at low figures. The GUS
toners Of a store like Miller g. Rhoads
get the benefit Of those articles also at
low figures at retail.
1t is a novel method OF doing business.
II IS an honest, practicable, and tho
roughly commendable way OF having o
great sale in a short time.
