fishing a naval station there, the Navy De-

BONA-FIDE CIRCULATION.


A reference to the statement be-
low will show that the circulation
sworn to is bona-fide one.
1t is easily possible for a news
paper with an elastic conscience to
swell its legitimate circulation enor-
mously. in order to deceive adyer-
tisers, by sending out thousands of
papers to newsstands which are re-
turnable, and which are in fact, re-
turned. but nevertheless are in
cluded in what purports to be an
honest statement IF circulation.
Intelligent advertisers, however,
judge by results. and bogus circula-
tons don't give them.
The family CIRCULATION Of The Star
is many thousands in excess of any
other Washington paper.

income from these small quantities of his
products. And the figures are the actual
prices that were paid in the two years. On
the other hand what is there that the
farmer is buying for which he pays more
money? Sugar and coffee are cheaper
now than they used to be. There has been
no advance in the price of clothing or in
farm materials. and these are the principal
articles that farmers have to buy.

II had been troubled with it for years
until last year my doctor recommended
Grape-Nuts food to be used every morn.

am entirely we'll.
"Ths whole family like Grape-Nuts.
We use four packages week. You are
welcome to use this testimonial as you
see fit. | am willing to give any inform
alton to anyone who desires to see or
write me regarding Grape-Nuts." Re
spectfully, Mrs c. FL. Lowe, 6Sl Parker
street, Roxbury Mass.
The reason Mrs. Lowe was helped by
the use of Grape-Nuts food, is that the
food is predigested by natural processes
and therefore does not tax the stomach as
the food she had been using; it also con-
tains the elements required for building
up the nervous system. If that part of
the human body is in perfect working
order, there can be no dyspepsia, for ner-
vous energy represents the steam that
drives the engine
When the nervous system is run down,
the machinery of the body works badly

children as well as adults. 1t is perfect

the ordinance when it first came up IN
the council, spoke against it again in q
very strong manner. He said it inter-
fered with the right of laboring men.
Mr.. Fox said he believed in the ordi-
nance It didn't menace the liberty Of
honest men, but merely aimed at loaf
ers. He believed the laboring men have
no occasion to dread the enforcement of
the ordinance.
Mr.. Comedian said there was a danger
that the officers would carry out the law
to the letter and not in the spirit of the
law.
Mr.. Woodside said he would propose
he amendment of the order to exclude
watchmen and constables and only place
this power in the hands Of the policemen.
Z Mr.. Hunt said he hoped Mr.. Woodside' s
amendment would not be adopted as he
thought the watchmen should be given
the power to protect private property
which they are employed to protect.
Mr.. Thomas said he favored it and
hoped it would pass as it was reported.
Mr.. Griffin also favored the passage of
the ordinance. He said he had seen
crowds of loafers in good Ward l who
made remarks as people passed by.
Mr.. Comedian said he wished to pro-
test against the insinuations made by
the gentleman from Ward 1 against the
young men of Ward 1 who do not line up
along the sidewalk and insult ladies.
Mr.. Griffin said he had no intention of
rejecting upon the young men of Ward 1.

She protested against being dragged
into police court and said that such
notoriety would seriously injure her in
her work. The detective insisted, and
had the charge against the shoplifter
not been withdrawn before the case
reached the court the singer would
have been one of the witnesses. She
denounced the detective and the store
which employed him for imposing on
Its patrons in that fashion, and she is
going to make it her business hereafter
to keep outfof the way of store detect
ives. Had the singer been forced to go
to court her punishment in the conse-
quent notoriety would have been al
most as hard as that inflicted on the
shoplifter.-New York Sun.
