A RATIONAL ROOD CURE.

One of the well known grocers in WASH
ineton. ID. c.. who SUI plies the food of
many of the brainy, representative men
of the country, says: 81 have become an
enthusiastic consumer of Grape Nuts.
1t has constituted solely my morning and
evening meal for the past eight months.
Previous to this, worn out with over
work, broken down In health, dyspepsia
having led to Bright's disease, heart
trouble and what not. / was given up tn

through one Of my customers. The name
suggested something in the dessert line

and when / put 1t in the store, a glance
at the label persuaded me to make a trial
personally.
/ had at the store for my supper, dish
and a half dish, and was impressed. per-
haps unfavorably, with Its richness, per-
oeiving at the same time how very appro-
priately the new food was named.
Strange as 1t may appear, its effect was
almost at once apparent, Seated that
evening at my home, ! remarked to the
family that 1t was the first time In a
whole year that had felt like myself.
was much elated and naturally at
tributed this change to Grape-Nuts My
improvement since then has been contin-
uous, my health is better than ever be-
fore, Took ten years younger and am un-
firing in strength" (Ths gentleman does
not care to have his name quoted public
ly, but his store can be found at 726
Eighteenth street, Washington, ID. O.
Now for the reason. The man or WON
an worn out with overwork or nervous
prostratiou will find an immediate gain
in strength by the use of Grape. Nuts and
cream, because of the fact that the natu-
raj phosphate OF potash obtained from
certain parts OF the grains. Is one Of the
strong elements in Grape-huts, and this Is
presented to the system In the form de :
manded by nature; not asa drug.
The system takes up the needed parti-
Giles OF phosphate of potash and it is
known that the soft gray matter which
fills the delicate nerve centers through
out thJ 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. AL
bumen Ia one of the principal elements of
all food but unless albumen has with it
in the system q sufficient amount of phos-
phate OF potashs-tt cannot be transformed
into brain matter without the action of
this particular element, for there Is no
known way to make gray matter except
by the com bination of albumen aud phos-
phate Of potash.
Therefore. when one uses Grape Nuts,
he makes use of the best scientific knowl-
edge of the day In the selection of food
for invigoratipg~ and re-vitalizing the
body. This food has become famous
throughout the world, ana it Is to be
found in every tirst-olass grocery store.
Grape Nuts are made by the Postum Co.
at their factories in Battle Greek.

Mckinley has decided not to avail
himself of the authority granted by
the compromising army bill to orga-

more than $4,000 men allowed for
the regular army until July |, 1901.
It is also his purpose to expedite
the withdrawal of volunteers from
Cuba and Philippines as rapidly as
possible, and muster themout of the
service. All the volunteers are tc
be brought home from Cuba without
delay, and those in the Philippines
will be brought home as soon as
enough regiments can be sent out

FOR KENTUCKY.
River and harbor Bill Gives Full
Recognition.

Washington, D. c., March o.
There has been very full recogni-
tion of Kentucky in the last two
river and harbor bills. Three
years age the Kentucky river, the
most important river in the State,
extendirg from the Cumberland
mountains to the Ohio river, was
placed under the contract system,
the United States government there
by pledging itself to the canalizing
of the river to the three forks at
Beattyville. This was the first
continuous contract ever given to
the State In the same bill Con-
gress placed under the contract
system the falls of the Ohio River at
Louisville, on the sum OF $500, 900,
which will be furnished during the
current year. In the same bill the
Rough River had an appropriation,
which was sufficient to complete the
only lock and dam on the river A
new lock and dam were authorized
in the same bill of 1895, beside sew
eral other less important mat
tiers with surveys .contemplat
ing future improvements.
The present river and harhor
bill gives Kentucky very full rec
ognition again. A half million dol
lars is appropriated to the construc-
tion OF the locks and dams between
the one completed at Louisa, under
the last bill, and the mouth of the
Sandy; $3.50 for the completion
Of the lock and dam on Green river,
and survey for the said stream
from Mammoth Cave to Greenburg.
