School Children Must Be Better Fed.
A young girl in Newport, Ind, Miss
Ethel Thornton, says no one has a better
right to speak of Grape-Nuts food than
she Il was in school, but in poor health.

weeks. and began to fail in health

without Grape-Nuts on the table"
1t is well for parents to know that
Grape-Nuts food contains selected ele-
znents from the grains, prepared ard
cooked in such a way as to present these
food elements SO that they can be quick
ly digeSted and assimilated: the phos-
phate Of potash obtained from the field
grains and contained in Grape Nuts
unites with the albumen Of food to
quickly rebuild the gray matter in the
nerve centres and brain.
It Is of the greatest Importance that
growing children and students be given
food that sustains both brain and nerves.

M'CRAY'S GRIEVANCE.
Says He Can't Get a Letter to
North Topeka.

The. Silver Republican state commit
tee is having trouble with mail sent
through the Topeka postofhce. d. O..
McCray, the secretary, who is in charge
of headquarters here, says he is unable
to get a letter across the Kansas river
to the North Topeka postofice. He
said today:
stamped and sealed a letter and deposit
ed same in a letter box on Kansas ave-
nue.. 1t was addressed to Hon. Thos.
M. James, North Topeka, Kansas. =
This letter simply contained an order
on Mr.. James as treasurer of our COM
mittee, signed by Webb McNaIl and
myself, as chairman and secretary, to
pay to me a sum of money for sta
tionery, postage, etc, for the commit
tee. Monday morning Mr.. James came
to headquarters and upon inquiry /
learned that he had not received the
letter. Two days later he reported that
the letter had not yet reached North
Topeka. I then addressed a letter to
John Guthrie, postmaster, requesting
that official to ascertain if this letter
had been mislaid in the postoff1ce. I
have heard nothing from Judge Guthrie.
The envelope contained my return
card Give days., bat a week has passed
and 1t has not shown up in my mail
THE envelope also contained a. pic
ture of the American flag, which / hope
has not been construed as violation of
the postal laws And in addition to the
Gag it bore this extract from a speech
made by President Mckinley in con-
gress:
n am for the largest use of silver
in the currency of the country. / would
not dishonor it; would give it equal
credit and honor with gold. I would
make no discrimination. I would utilize
both metals as money and discredit
neither. / want the double standard
-Ohcia1 report of speech made by Will
liam Mckinley in the house of represen-
tatives, June a. 1890, Congressional
Record, volume q, page 6447.
Surely a sentiment uttered by Presi-
dent Mckinley which was echoed and
re-echoed throughout Kansas by the
Republican party for fifteen years, and
which the party enunciated in every
state and congressional convention dur
ing that time, should not SO soon be re-
garded as a violation of the United
States postal laws. / will admit that
the above extract was printed in red
inlx-maybe that was offense also.
In any event this committee is going
to make an effort to get mail across
the river, and if other failures follow
this one we shall try to locate the re-

Before coming into the city the voters
there did not have to register, and
many of them will not think of the new

city or not. The registration books do
not close until 10 days before election.
The city engineer is preparing a map

voters in the annexed property that they
must register will be published and the

Adopted New Workers Who Cast Bal

NEW YORK, Oct 27.-Many persons
who maintain legal residence here but
live upstate will return to vote; but
many more, whose business is here and
legal residence upstate, will leave the
city for home on the night before election
day. at the Republican County Commit
tee it was thought that over 1000 would
come to New York to vote on November
g. This includes college students, theat-
rical people. travelling men, and business
men in nearby cities.
Tho class that will leave New York.
however, is made up almost entirely OF
business men who have come to New
York recently and who still maintain
their official residence in their old homes
In this class. also, there are large num-
Der of students mostly medical. Their
number cannot be estimated. since their
transportation is obtained by the chair
men of the upstate counties and by the
candidates for office who want their
votes. 1t is, however. generally believed
that the Republicans obtain more votes
this way than the Democrats. They as
sist their partisans by getting them
transportation home to register and TO
vote, thus assuring them two or three
