BONEBRAKE IN HOUSTON.
Topeka Banker Says Nice Things
About Texas Town.


The following is from the Houston
Daily Post:
Mr. and Mrs. P. .Bonebrake of To-
peka, Kan, spent a few hours in Hous-
ton yesterday as the guests Of Mr.. Tom
Richardson, secretary of the Transmits
sissippi Commercial congress.
Mr. Bonebrake is not only a, pronf-
nent banker, but one of the most pro-
gressive public spirited citizens in
state which counts it's go-ahead men by
the thousands. For many years past he
has taken an active personal interest in
every movement which had for its OBJ
ject the development of gulf port out
lets and increased and improved trans
portation facilities from his state in
this direction. Mr.. BOnebrake has at
tended many sessions of the Transmits
sisSippi Commercial congress and says
he will be greatly disappointed if busi-
ness engagements keep him away from
Houston at the coming session. He was
a member of the executive committee OF
the most important deep water conven-
ton held in the west, and held q like
position in connection with the western
states conference, which was the fore
runner of the deep water utilization
committee.
Mr.. and Mrs. Bonebrake visited the
First Presbyterian church and both
pronounced it the finest church edifice
they had ever seen. They Also Visited
the South Texas National bank and de-
cided it as superior to their own, which
is one of the handsomest banks in Kan
sas.
Just before leaving the city, Mrs.
Bonebrake paid Houston the highest
tribute a lady can pay to any city-'I
would love to live here she said" d"

GRAPE NUTS :
FOOD. :
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

Il want to tell you about Grape-Nuts,
and my experience with them.
Il had for a year or two. felt a gen
eral debility creeping on me, and also
suffered from hatueney, piles, etc.
which I began to think was due to ad-
vancing age, now being 65 years old,
when, in the providence of God, as I
believe. the Grape-Nuts Food was
brought to my notice, and tried as an
experiment.
"I used it with milk, as mush. In a
week 1 found a decided improvement in
myself, and have kept improving ever
since, now about three months, and am
being congratulated on the bright
change in my appearance by all ac-
GuaintanceS. Not only so, but I feel
I have the reserve force so that I do
not feel wearied at night, although
have worked continuously this last
three months from 7:30 a. m. until D.
m. Need I say that recommend your
Grape-Nuts to my friends and acquain-
tances, and that all of my family use
the food, and that we use it at every
meal whatever else is omitted? I write
this being desirous of giving vent to
the grateful feeling I entertain for the
benefits received from the use of your
incompatible food. Although total
stranger to you, beg to subscribe my
self sincerely your friend and we'll
wisher, John C. Fletcher, New Ro-
chelle, N. Y
The particular element which pro-
duees the feeling of strength is the del
icate particles of phosphate of potash,
not the phosphate of the drug store,
but that which is prepared by Nature
and furnished in the grains. This del
icate element, not observed by the
taste, is used by Nature in connection
with the albumen of food, to repair and
rebuild the gray matter in the nerve
eenters throughout the body and brain
and solar plexus, so that one thus
nourished and rebuilt is very sure to
feel the effects of this rebuilding within
week or ten days, and this feeling
grows and becomes fixed as one be-
comes a steady. everyday user of
Grape-Nuts. The food is made by the
famous pure food manufacturers at

Co., Ltd.

G. I'll. EVANS AT .sTHE HOME''
Topeka Contractor Confined to the
Hospital With Rheumatism.

George H. Evans. the former well
known contractor of Topeka, is now in
the Soldiers home at Leavenworth, and
is kept in the home hospital on account
of his rheumatism. He gets around with
difficulty and does not try to leave the
hospital. He is in what is known as
the 'old mems ward,'' which is one of
the prettiest buildings at the home, and
in which live the old veterans, who
through old age or some other cause
are unable to wait on themselves to ad-
vantage.
Mr.. Evans began the building of the
state house 35 years ago. and he built
the greater part of it, making a fortune
off of the work, but in late years he has
lost it all through unfortunate specula-
ton and bad contracts in Texas.

DIR. MINERS CALL.

Famous Kansas Divine to Preach In
Joliet.
The following is from the Joliet. Ill,
News:
"A call was extended last night by
the Central Presbyterian church to Rev.
Duncan c. Miner to accept the pastor
ate left vacant by the death of DR.. Jas.
Lewis. Nearly one hundred members of
the church were present. The vote was
by ballot and every vote cast was for
Mr.. Miner and no dissenting votes. If
any were opposed the fact was not
made known in the voting.
DIR. Miner is a graduate of Washing
ton and jefferson college at Washing
ton, Pa, the college of James G. Blaine
and many other noted men. He later
attended Union Theological seminary,
New York, where he became acquainted
with DR.. Lewis. He went west at the
same time as DR.. Lewis, with what was
known as the Kansas band in 1868.
His first appointment was at Osce-
ola, Mo. He did home missionary work
in southwestern Missouri for some time
and experienced the hardships incident
to frontier life. He was for three and
half years pastor of the Third Presby-
terian church in Kansas City, Mo, go
ing from there to Kansas where he had
past0rates at Ottawa, Atchison and
Manhattan. He was president of the
Ottawa Chautauqua assembly for II
years, was at one time president of the
state temperance union and was q
member of the state executive commit
tee during the amendment campaign.
DR.. Miner came to Chicago six years
ago and has been for five years at the
Armour mission. He was identified with
It from the beginning of the Armour
Institute which is an outgrowth of the
mission.
The army record of DR.. Miner is an
honorable one. He enlisted with the 98th
Ohio infantry and was appointed SER
geant major of the regiment. After the
battle of PerryyilIe, he was made first
lieutenant and adjutant of the regi-
ment. He was severely wounded in the
battle of Chickamauga, in consequence
of which his left arm was crippled.
When pastor in AtchisOn, DR.. Miner
was we'll acquainted with Ed Howe, ed
1tor of the Atchison Globe, the man who
is to fill Mr.. Sheldon's pulpit while the
latter is editing the Topeka Capital
" I sent a letter to Mr.. Howe said
DR.. Miner, 'congratulating him on his
offer to take Sheldon's place, and tell
ing him that one who had criticised
ministers so long must nave a good deal
of material and would perhaps have
more charity for the other fellow when

TOPEKA VICTORIOUS.
Basket Ball Team of Y. M. G. a.
Again Defeats z. U.

The basket ball game played between
the Y NJ c. a. team and the Kansas

an excellent exhibition of fast, clean
playing. The game was won by the
home team, the score being 19 to 10, in
favor of Y. NJ. c. A.
Fast and hard playing characterized
the game from the very beginning.
Both teams were in excellent condi-
ton, and while K. U. were determined
to retrieve their lost reputation, the
home team was equally determined.
The first goal made was thrown by
the home team on a foul made by their
opponents. This was quickly followed
by another goal in their favor, thrown
from the field. K. U. then took a brace
and by dint of hard playing made rapid
gains. and the first half closed with
the score. standing to in favor of
The last half opened with even faster
playing than the first. The Y M. c. A.
began to do better team work, and
speedily turned the score in their favor
Some of the goals thrown seemed to be
no less than marvellous. The back
passes of May and A. Griggs resulted
in a double score in less than three
minutes Shortly after this Yahn, the
quick little guard of K. U. had to re-
lame foot. The last part of the final
half was faster than any Of the play
The game was so close that each team
hoped to win until time was called.
When time was called the score stood
19 to Is in favor of the 7, NJ. c. A.

TOO Much Pork. Not Enough Fat.

Without doubt the fat in pork is
about as hard to digest as anything can
be. A person has to have d strong di-
gestion and must be engaged in hard
work in order to take care of this food,
although it is true a large number of
persons depend upon it especially
through the cold weather The fact is,
however, that as a rule fat is largely
deficient in our food; that is, a fat
which can be easily digested and
promptly assimiIated by the system.
Cod liver oil, as we find it in Scotts
Emulsion, is the most easily digested
of all fats; it is just the food the body
must have to give it nerve power, brain
power and digestive power.
