DOCTORS FOOD TALK.
Selection of Food One of the Most
Important Acts in Life.

Old DR. Hanaford of Reading. Mass,
says in the Messenger: Our health
and physical and mental happiness are
so largely under our personal control
that the proper selection OF food should
be, and is, one Of the most important
acts in life
.On this subject, I may say that I
know of no food equal in digestibility
and more powerful in point of nutriment
than the modern Grape-NutS four heap
ing teaspoons of which is sufficient for
the cereal part of a meal, and exper-
fence demonstrates that the usersis per-
fectly nourished from one meal to an
other.
Il am convinced that the extensive
and general use of high class foods of
this character would increase the term
of human life add to the sum total of
happiness and very considerably inn
prove society in general. / am free to
mention the food, for personally know
of it's value
Grape-Nuts food can be used by babes
in arms, or adults. 1t is ready cooked
can be served instantly, either cold with
cream. or with hot water or hot milk
poured over All sorts of buildings and
fancy dishes can be made with Grape
Nuts. The food is concentrated and
very economical, for four heaping tea
spoons are sufficient, for the cereal part

THROUGH A WHIRLPOOL.
and Thrilling Experience
of q Chicago Man.

Chicago, July 26.-Drawn into the
maelStrom of the great Windage basin of
the drainage canal at Lockport, carried
20 feet beneath the surface in the whirI-
pool; rising again, only to be caught by
the current that was pouring hundreds
of thousands of cubic feet of water into
the valley below and hurled through the
great sluice gate opening and carried 200
feet through the foaming rapids of the
open channel, to be finally rescued alive
and IN a fair way to recover, was the
experience of Peter Smith of Joliet.
Michael Ryan. who is experimenting
the work at the controlling works and
his assistant, John Herman, escaped
the same perilous journey by the mar
roweSt margin.
The whirlpool in the windage basin
had been caused by the raising of the
beartrap dam and the opening of the
sluice gates, through which it was orig
1nalIy intended that the greater portion
or the $4,000 cubic feet of water should
now every minute. The beartrap has
been raised above the surface of the
basin in order that the big force of men
working on the false work of the pro-
posed suspension bridge could proceed
with the operations without endanger-
ing their lives.
Smith, Ryan and Herman were in a
boat crossing over the basin and had
their backs to the whirlpool. Suddenly
the boat was sucked into the maeI-
Strom.
Herman and Ryan sprang into the
water and swan to shore, but Smith
was thrown by the force of the whirl-
ing boat into the whirlpool, disappear
ing from sight instantly.
Down through twenty feet of water
he shot With tremendous force he was
caught by the current and hurled
through the gate. Luckily the knee was
the only part of his body to come in
contact with any of the masonry, other
wise he certainly would have been
crushed to death.
Below the gate he was caught in the
rapids and carried 200 feet through the
swirling, turbulent waters, tossed about
like a rubber ball.
Finally Smiths feet struck the rocks
in the shadows and he managed to
hold on until rescuers reached him.

balance to our credit. which upon my
motion before the executive committee
was placed on deposit with the Indiana
Trust company.
''That money is there today, subject to
our order, and if we can not return 1t
to the individuals who subscribed 1t, L
move that as it came from the Demo-
Gratis of New York, that it be restored
to them in their state organization and
that the treasurer, Mr.. Frensel, be in
structed to pay this sum of money now
in our treasury, to that splendid Demo-
crat, the able leaders of the Democrats
of the east, David B. Hill, to use as his
judgment may Direct
The withdrawal of Mr.. Haldeman
from the meeting was understood as
withdrawal from the committee and all
further connection with the Gold Demo
cratic party.
When the vote on the question of
fusion and nomination of the third
ticket was taken, Gordon Woodbury. of
New Hampshire proved to be the only
committeeman present who favored a
third party ticket. The vote was by
ballot and stood 26 to l against the pro-
position. Mr.. Woodbury. at once moved
that the vote be made unanimous and
this was done.
A committee of three was then ap-
pointed to draft a manifesto setting out
the position of the national Democracy
regarding the issues now before the peo-
pie and the committee adjourned until
D. m. to receive the sub committees
report.

After hearing two witnesses in the
case of M. Mitchell against Mary E.
Mitchell for divorce, Judge Hazen an
nounced that if the rest of the testimony
was like that which had been given he

dismissed. Inconpatibility was the the
ory advanced in the hearing.
Mr.. Mitchell told a tale how he had
been abused and mistreated; that his
home was home no longer, so he left. He
said his wife swore at him and used aw
full language. The Mitchells live at Ber-
ryton and have a farm which has never
been encountered The house was dam
aged some time ago by a cyclone.
Mitchell also testified that he left home
and went to work on a farm because his
wife made it warm for him and charged
that he paid attention to other women.

Mitchell.

EHRICHs BACK TO BRYAN.

Mr.. Lewis E. Ehrichs of Colorado, who
since 1896 has been prominent and ac-
tive in the Gold Democratic movement,
said:
This action of the national commit
tee of the Gold Democracy is outrage
The whole thing is simply a Mckinley
endorsement and have no doubt that
those Immediately interested in issuing
the call intended it as such. i have
done with the committee and present
organization of the party and shall ten
der my resignation"
Later on Mr.. Ehrichs wrote his letter
of resignation, and withdrawal, which
was accepted by the committee.

FREIGHT ON GRAIN
To European Ports Made Higher b.
Withdrawal of Transports.

New York, July 26.-It is said in ship
ping circles that the withdrawal of var
ious German steamships to be used by
the German government for transport
service to China has already had
stimulating effect on ocean freights and
especially on berth freight rates to
Continental ports.
This frmness in rates has also spreod
to steamers to carry full cargoeS of
grain. Four shillings per quarter was
paid for the British steamship Sir Gar
net Wellesley to carry grain, August
shipment from Baltimore to Cork for
orders. The same rate was bid for two
other steamers.
The rate, it is said, represents an adj
vance of from one and half to three
pence per quarter over rates recently
current for full cargoes of grain

ROSTERS. l can't say that l ever met one
who'd talk about the weather or the crops
for five minutes. Their dee is to strut
about and show off before the hens and
chickens, and because they can crow and
fight they try TO put on airs over the
geese and ducks. They know what think
of them, however. I've given many of
them good drubbing, and they quit strut
ting around me years ago.
1t was about three years ago we had a
rooster here who was beauty. He was
black as night, and his feathers shone
like silk, and If il hadn't been for his fool
ish ways the whole farm would have been
proud of him. Because he was big and
handsome he thought himself the smart
est rooster in the whole state. The other
roosters ran from him, and the hens all
bowed down, and the chickens held their
breath as he passed by. One day / heard
this rooster boasting to the hens that he
had heard of fox being in the nighbor-
hood, and that he was going to hunt him
up and drive him away. This was dread
fully foolish talk, and / called the rooster
aside after awhile and said:
my friend you should not talk such
nonsense TO the hens. No rooster ever
Matched Is match for a fox
DO you mean that / cannot make the
fox run for his life?" he asked.
"Of course you can't. A fox would kill
you In a minute. Even the biggest gander
is afraid of a fox"
That's because you are geese and can't
crow. My dear old gander don't worry
about me. / cannot only take care of my
self but OF all the ducks, geese and hens
beside Just waddle back to your pond
and mind your own business"
had no more to say. l knew what

Growing as loud he could for ten min
utes and strutting up and down in his
pride, the rooster set off for the back field

wings and clucked to encourage him. and
some of the geese and ducks said he was
brave fowl and ought TO wear silver
spurs.

rooster who sets our TO hunt a fox may
be very brave or very much OF an idiot.
If he ever comes back he'll know a fox
from hollyhock all the rest of his days"
They said / was Jealous old gander
and ought TO be ashamed OF myself, but
/ went swimming over TO the other side
of the pond and let them talk. When
shutdown came and we went 20 roost and
the rooster had not come back the hens
began to look very sober. His crow did
not sound at daybreak next morning as
usual, and soon after breakfast the far
mer started out to hunt for MIN. II was
almost noon when he returned and in his
hand he had three or four black tall
feathers belonging TO our missing friend
As the wife came out the husband showed
her the feathers and said:
Mary here's all that's left OF our big
black rooster
What has happened TO him?" she
asked.
why, he went off 10 the back field
by himself yesterday, and fox must
have got hold of him and eaten him up.
He was fine-ooking fowl. but he didn't

from Periclear plantation. on Port Royal
Island was here this morning display
ing string of twelve rattles which he
had cut from huge rattlesnake, which
he killed. The old fellow says there is a
den of the reptiles near his log cabin,

coop. An entire brood of fourteen little
chickens had in some unaccountable man
ner disappeared, one or two each night.
and their owner was at a loss to know
what became of them. Thursday night he
heard great commoticn among his pouI-
