OIL AND GOLD MINES. Visitors Sp eak of tn G Food Used.

Major Desborough, writing from Fresno, Calif., says: T found Grape Nuts food 45 miles in the mountains in an old oil camp, where the whole crowd, ten men, eat it for breakfast every day and every Sunday have it in a pudding for dinner"
 General E. c. Machen, an old Confed- crate soldier has just returned from an extended trip through the South west and along the Mexican border, in vestigating mining properties, He says; No matter where I travelled, I always found it possible to get Grape Nuts and Postum Food Coffee, of which am very fond"
 The Grape-Nuts breakfast food is especially valued by campers and from tier people, as 1t is already cooked and ready for instant service, and, being concentrated furnishes unusual strength and nourishment, in small quantity. It is believed that a man can travel further and exercise more continuously on a few teaspoons of Grape-N than on like quantity of any other food known
 The reason for this is that there are selected elements in Grape Nuts that furnished direct to the brain and nerve centers the necessary particles to re- build the delicate gray matter contain ed in these parts; therefore. a man continuously fed on Grape-Nuts is ab- solutely certain of a good condition of the nervous system, which is really the controller Of the entire body.

 President Hadley formally accepted the gateway and said that no braver soldier died in the Spanish war than Miller. It was his privilege to pass daily through the gateway, and he was reminded of the loyal Yale spirit which prompted the young man. I am glad to see the class of '97 arrayed in the uni form of blue in his honor" he said, land may his memory live as long as the stones which compose the gateway in his honor" The speech was greeted with loud applause and the meeting ad journed.

A LIBERTY PARTY

A Neglected Charm.

Women of refinement and education
in other directions often speak in
harsh, nasal or indistinct cultural
tones showing an entire want of care
and cultivation of the beautiful art Of
familiar speaking. A musieal-speak-
ing voice, with clear enunciation, Is
one of the most restful and subtle
charms of personality, and unlike most
precious things 1t is within the reach
of almost any one who cares to have
it. Have you never, in some sudden
pause and silence, been startled by
the echoing ring of your own voice
as you speak. Involuntary you will
lower and soften 1t. Practice with your
sister or other girl associates each in
turn and each trying to improve her
own natural voice. DO not initiate
do not make unnatural or affected
changes, but having tried your usual
voice critically, decide where 1t needs
improvement, and hold yourself to the
reformation. If you are like nine out
of every ten American girls your voice
is pitched too high. Lower It, and
make a constant effort to keep It
down. Speak from the chest, not from
the throat or head. Practice the
modulation of your speaking voice as
patiently as a singer practices the
scales. 1t is worth while because 1t is
for the pleasure and good Of all around
you more than for your own. In the
effort to keep your voice low and gen
tie you will make the first practical
move toward calm outward demean-
Or. and success in this will impress
Immediately the person to whom you
nre speaking.-Ada G. Sweet, in the
Nomans Home Companion.
