FEEDING FOR HEALTH.
Directions By a Food Expert.


A complete change in food makes a
complete change in body. Therefore
II you are ailing in anyway, the surest
road back to health is to change your
diet Try the following breakfast for
ten days and mark the result:
Two soft boiled eggs. Of you have
weak stomach, boil the eggs as fol-
lows: Put two eggs into a pint tin
cup of boiling water, cover, and set off
the stove. Take out in nine minutes:
the whites will be the consistency of
cream and partly digested. Don't
change the directions in any particu-
iarJ Some fruit, cooked or raw, cook
cd preferred, slice of toast. a little
butter, four heaping teaspoons of
Grape-Nuts with some cream. a cup of
properly boiled Postum Food Coffee.
The Grape-Nuts breakfast food is
fully and scientifically cooked at the
factory, and both that and the Postum
Gomez have the diastase (that which
digest the starchy part) developed in
the manufacture. Both the food and the
coffee. therefore. are predigested and
assist, in natural way. to digest the
balance of the food. Lunch at noon
the same.
For dinner in the evening use meat
ana one or two vegetables. Leave out
Lne fancy desserts. Never over-eat.
Better little less than too much.
4 you can use health as q means to
gain success in business or in a pro-
fession, Il Is we'll worth the time and
atteption required to arrange your diet

Said to be Much Improved Since the
British Success at Bethlehem.
PRETORIA, July 10.-The British
success at Bethlehem has considerably
improved the prospects for peace, it is
said. The whole of the government of
President Steyn of the Orange Free
State has surrendered except President
Steyn himself. Those. officials who are
prisoners have been allowed to COM
municate with President Steyn for the
purpose of attempting to prove to him
the uselessness of continuance of the
struggle
The need of more civil administra-
tors is urgent, and the necessity for
their appointment is becoming daily
more apparent. Intelligent administra-
tors with a knowledge of the people
could undoubtedly greatly aid in the
future settlement of difficulties mas
much as frank feeling in favor of

LONDON, July 12.-The Shanghai
correspondent of the Express gives the
text of a long edict of Prince Tuan,
dated June 10Th and addressed to the
Chinese ambassadors, which the Ex-
press declares is Identical with the mes
sage from Emperor Kwang Hsu and
the Chinese edict published in Wash
ington. The Express considers that
the edict proves that Prince Tuan's
party is making no attempt to disguise
the fact that the worst that could be an
ticipated has happened.
The edict contains the following par
agraphs:
1.-THE anger of our people knew no
bounds. They could not be restrained.
The task of guarding legations, which
before was difficult was made impossi-
BILE
Elsewhere referring to the desire to
protect the legations still LnharmeG,
it says:
IF it is impossible for us 20 continue
this protection let II be represented to
the powers that we must be held
hlameless for the anger of our people
with the rising of each sun that sees
more and yet more foreigners and
soldiers coming to overrun and lay
waste our country and slay our peo-
pie
The correspondent says the edict IS
lifting of the veil over the recent bis
tory of Pekin.
