a Professional WOMAN.
Experiments MAD. WIN FOOD.

a certain professional woman in New
York, connected with one OF the large
institutions there. has had curious
experience with an experiment IN US
ing certain kind of food. 1t seems
that in October last she had serious
Illness and was at the point of death,
the brain and body in the last stages
OF exhaustion. Her remarkable expe-
rience with the food was brought to the
attention Of the makers by some OF her
friends, and i'll reply to a letter she
wrote as follows:
81 have no objection to the public
knowing Of the wonderful transforma-
ton my system has undergone by the
use OF Grape-Nuts since November,
1899. l began using the food when con-
ralescing and when in an exceedingly
low condition. And used small guam
stity and became so fascinated with the
nearly all other food, including tea and
coffee.
up to now have consumed about
$50 packages and have gained twenty
pounds In flesh. Am a marvel to all
my friends who are aware OF my for
mer state Of health. There are about
fifty families who have adopted the use
OF Grape-Nuts because of my expert
ence. You can give my name and home
address, but do not mention my profess
sional connection" Mrs. e. N. Wood.

ABRAMS WAS THIRSTY.
Former NIarshalltown Preacher, Is
said to Have Wanted Hop Ale Ut

Ts
said to Have Wanted Hop Ale at
state Center.
The State Center Independent OF Fri
day states that Rev. II. H. Abrams
formerly of this city hut now president
5of the State Anti-Saloon League, in
trying to trap a restaurant keeper at
that place in c0nvicting himself in SELL
Ing spirituous liquors asked for hop ale
and was refused. The Independent
says:
Abrams. of Anti-saloon League
fame, devoted considerable of his valu-
ableitime in State Center last week.
Now, Abrams was not invited. neither
was the hope expressed that he would
stay away. The people we're entirely
indifferent on the subject. IL there are
any open violations OF the law in State
Center. then 1t would appear that Mr..
Abrams methods are not quite up to
tIdate.
THE president OF the Anti-Saloon
League came from Marshalltown Thurs
day morning and ii is presumed that
either the temperance crusade has re-
suited in closing the Marshalltown sa-
looms or perhaps he left too early to.
l.partake: at any rate Mr.. Abrams was
l.appeared to think that beer was quite
| free in State Center and he stopped at
1.-The j. H. Williams eating house and
l5calied for n bottle of hop ale. The watt
Ter informed him very politely that no
| hop ale of any description was sold In
that restaurant, and Mr.. Abrams re-
marked that he guessed he would have
TO get along without it-nnd he did.
And, by the way, Abrams states
THAT he. will close both the drug stores
lin State Center for 500. What becomes
of the money collected and donated from
all parts Of the state for this purpose :?
How much salary does the president re-
|ceive? Where is there an itemized re-
port Of the expenditures OF this assoca-
I.tion? Will some member OF the Anti
4 Saloon League furnish us with the nee
sI.essary information? Meantime the drug

Bradstrect,s Kevicw.

New York, May 12.-Bradstreet's to-
day says:
The trade situation this week may be
summed up in the phrase: Inactive de-
nand and weaker prices
While in many poets the Industrial
situation is easier than it Vas, tie un-
settlement in the building trade contn-
sues marked, the reflex action being ex-
hibited in unsettled demand for build
ing material and weaker prices for
lumber and for many products used in
the building industry.
Iron and steel buyers are still holding
off. most of the business done being for
small lots for Immediate consumption.
In speculative markets dizziness has
been the feature. wheat. after consid-
cradle steadiness. weakening on the
favorable government crop report,
which is taken to indicate a yield of
winter wheat 100,OOO0O0 bushels larger
than a year ago. Notwithstanding im-
mense damage from winter-killing in
the central western states. apparently
Offset. however, by high conditions in
states west of the Mississippi Corn
has been weaker than wheat. rejecting
the less active export demand and sym
ions, the latter due to the heavier hog
receipts Of and lessened demand for
pork and lard.
Relatively good reports come from
the retail trade at most centers. not
withstanding the backward spring. but
as yet the volume of recorder business
from wholesalers and jobbers has
proved disappointing. Coffee is rather
weaker, owing to lower quotations in
European markets and sugar is also
shaded. owing to receipts exceeding re-
quirements.
Wheat including flour shipments, for
the week aggregate 3,4S0,574 bushels,
against 3.2s4.1S2 bushels in the CORE
spending week Of 1899. Since July this
season the exports OF wheat aggregate
1853 506 ,006 bushels, against 203,058,7sA
bushels last year.
Corn exports for the week aggregate
4,63S,140 bushels, against 2,76s,694 bush
els in this week year ago. Since July
this season corn exports aggregate
177,751,215 bushels. against 1925, s07
bushels last year.

THE CUBA ELECTIONS
To be Held September I5th-The Con-
stitution Adopted to be Censored by
Our Government.

Washington, July 20.-It Is under
stood hat the president n General
Wood have agreed upon September
18th as the time for holding the cleo
ton in Cuba, for delegates to the con-
stitutional convention that is to be held
for the purpose OF formulating a con
stitution for an independent govern
ment for Cuba.
On the return of General Wood to
Cuba he will confer with the leaders
of the Cuban people as TO the details
Of the election, and as to what r~estric-
lions, if any, should be placed upon
universal suffrage in the island. II is
now hoped hat the constitutional con-
vention will be held before the end OF
the e and IL possible as early as
October 18th.
There is no doubt that any constitu-
ton which may be formulated will be
scrutinized with the greatest care by
the president and possibly by congress
before it is allowed to &c into opera
ton, for it Is the settled conviction OF
the officials that Cuba should not be
permitted to make treaties with for
eign nations except through the United
States nor should the people be allow
ed to involve the island in debt unless
authorized to do 50 by this govern
ment.

NO MORE TROOPS FOR CHINA.
washington, July 2o.-Secretary Root
this evening made the positive state
ment that no more troops had been
ordered for Chinese service. He said:
The chief effort Of our government
just now must be directed in aiding
the friendly Chinese officials. 1t is evil
dent from the dispatch that the i'm
perial government has been acting in
good faith and on the 18th was still
using its efforts to protect the lega-
tons. We must do everything we can
to SECOND their efforts. 1t is hard TO
say just now whether increased mill
tary activity on the part of the powers
would have good or evil effect. That
must be judged by the officers on the
other side. We have not the informa-
ton here that would enable US to fair
ly judge"
Secretary Root said that the military
movement already outlined, that is to
say, the dispatch of the expeditionary
force under General Chaffee was being
pushed with the utmost expedition.
