David City, Neb., April 1. 1900.
Genesee Pure Food company, LIE Roy,
n. Y. Gentlemen: l must say in
regard to Grain-O that there is moth
ing better or healthier. We have
used it for years. My brother was a
great coffee drinker. He was taken
sick and the doctor said coffee was the
cause of it, and told US to use Grain
o. We got a package. but did not
like it at first, but now we would not
be without it. My brother has been
well ever since we started to use it..
Yours truly, LILLE SoCHoR.

The August issue of CoLkey's Home
Journal is magazine that will COM
mand favorable attention. A glance
at the table of coHtents is sufficient to
convince any one that this poPu'a ar jour
nal is the greatest of all family maya
zines. Among the most interesting
stories this month is one by Stephen
Crane, entitled West Pointer and Vol
unteer, story of the Spanish war.
The Holy Land, by Frank Z. Waska,
and The Petrified Forest. by Rev. j..
w. Hanson, are also very entertain
ing. The Old Jinrikisha. The Brides
of the Tiger and Christian. the Boy
of Leyden, are continued from last
month. Among the special depart
ments is the first of series OF articles
on Memory and Mental Training. by
Henry Dickson. of Chicago, that will
prove not only interesting but fasci-
hating, His method is clear and
simple, and will help to make good
thinkers, interesting takers and close
debaters.
The September New Lippincott
magazine publishes complete one of
the cleverest society novels OF the
year. 1t is called The Dissent lers. :"
The author. Thomas Cobb, is an Eng
lishman who is much appreciated
abroad, and his transatlantic success
is likely to be repeated in America.
So feelingly does be write about Pen
elope Darnley and her lovers that one
feels a suspicion that he may have
personated one of the lovers him
self but which one? The or
phan. Penelope, is relegated to
the tender mercies of rather fast
woman relative in London to
await the return of the orphans guar
dian from Calcutta. The reluctant
hostess, whose waning charms suffer
by contrast with those of her young
guest, makes things difficult for PEN
elope, who. with true fin de steele
spirit, takes matters into her own
hands and escapes in a way that is
disconcerting to her friends. An
amusing feature of the plot is "nom-
inal engagement" The guardian,
Sir Gordon Darnley, who seems bet
ter able to control political affairs
than to manage a woman, has his
hands full. and finally surrenders.
Besides the complete novel there are
short stories by Rev. Cyrus Townsend
Brady, Cy Warman and r. V. Risley,
and other attractive reading material.
