MEN OF AFFAIRS
Need Proper Food to Supply the Brain.

The Medical Sentinel comments
on the restless brain worker of our
large cities and refers to the fact that
he thinks he knows as much about the
needs of the brain, when he is tired
and shows brain flag. as a trained
practitioner.
He is inclined to spur up the tired
organs by some stimulant or perhaps
quiet its complaints with the narcotic
of tobacco. and this plan goes on until
suddenly he collapses, for brain flag is
a sure sign that the elements that
compose the brain are being more rap
idly used up than replaced by the food.
There is really a choice of but two
pathways for an active brain worker
man of affairs-When he shows
symptoms of breaking down. Either
he must quit work or he must have
food that will replace the structure of
brain and nerve centers as rapidly as
they are used up each day.
Chemical analysis of the particles
thrown out through the pores of the
body shows that after continued brain
work, a large portion of excreta con-
tains phosphate of potash. 1t is known
that when this element is furnished by
the food in proper quantities, the sys-
TEN unites it with albumen and from
that compound makes the gray matter
that fill the nerve centers and the
brain.
This is an especial feature of the
food known as Grape Nuts, a delicious,
ready-cooked and predigested break
fast food.
A definite and well understood gain
in brain power and physical strength
will set in after Grape Nuts have been
used eight or ten days. and sustained
and continued brain work can be
carried on if a reliance is placed upon
this food in connection with the ordi-
nary food of the day.
GrapeNuts Food is sold at all first
class groceries.

Army of the Republic The invited
guests made speeches, but the second
on the program, that of Gen. Shaw,
did not please Gen. Gordon, and for a

struggles had been blotted out in the

which the great chieftain, Lee. SOL

At the close of Gen. Shaw's speech,
Gen. Gordon came forward. He hal

again caused considerable of a surprise.
Gen. Gordon said he could not teach his
children that he fought for what was
wrong. He entered battle for what he be-

ued Gen. Gordon, land history will record
and Heaven judge, that both sides were
right in fighting for what they believed

that immaculate truth that both sides
were fighting for the constitution of their

Gen. Shaw responded gracefully to the
generals exceptions.

THE WHOLE WORLD RELIEVED.

Washington. July 20-Like flash
Of sunlight out of the dark came the
intelligence. at an early hour today
that United States Minister Conger
had sent q cipher cable dispatch from
P1kin TO the state department at Wash
ington. making known that two days
aSo he was alive and that the foreign
ers We're fighting for their safety. The
minister. Mr.. WI Ting-Fa received
the message.
Within an hour the welcome inteIlj-

was flashed through the country. and.
indeed. through the world, dispelling
the gloom which had everywhere pre-
vailed and bringing to officials and to
the public generally a sense Of pro-
found relief
The dispatch was in reply to Secre-
tary Hays cable inquiry to Minister
Congcr, July II. and as both messages
were in the American cipher code they
were regarded by the officials as above
the suspicion of having been tempered
with in the course of transmission
through the Chinese channels.
Mr.. WI promptly communicated the
dispatch to the state department.
where the translation was made from
the cipher figures. and soon all Wash
lngton was astir with the intelligence
1t was telegraphed by Secretary Hav
TO the President, who responded with
a wholesome expression Of gratifica-
ton. and word Of it was sent to the
various cabinet officers
They gathered in Secretary HAYS
office and an impromptu cabinet con-
terence was held in the diplomatic
chamber, mainly for the purpose of ex-
changing congratulations and of tax
ing survey of the situation to see
if it had been materially changed by
this important development.
First of all, from the standpoint of
the administration officials. the most
welcome feature Of the message was
its assurance that the American min
lister himself was alive. two days ago.
But with this cheering news came
the ominous statement of Minister
ConSer that the besieged foreigners
We're in the British legation under con-
tinued shot and shell from Chinese
troops, and that only quick relief could
avert a general massacre.

ficials most deeply. AS one Of them re- |
marked: There are the poor Great |

| London. July Ell \. M.-Thc CON
ger dispatch fails to carry conviction
/ to either the British press or public
Its genuineness is not disputed: for, as
! is pointed out here, the Chinese must
possess quite a sheaf of such messages,
which the ministers fruitlessly endeav-
| ored to get transmitted, from which
they could easily select a non-commit-
tai dispatch to serve the required pur-
! pose
! 1t is supposed that Mr.. Congcr omit
1 ted TO destroy the cipher code and that
this is now in the possession of the
Chinese in which event the selection or
connection of the dispatch would not
be difficult.
! 1t is argued that the dispatch, if it
We're a genuine reply to the inquiries
! of the American government would so
more into details. A slight ray of hope
is admitted in the fact that both Mr.
and Mrs. Conger are known to have
been on very friendly terms with the
Empress Dowager. but the universal
opinion here is that if the dispatch is
genuine, the date is falsified.
The bare possibility that the news
of the massacre was premature, how
ever. has had its effect, and the gov
eminent has issued a semi-official dis
clamer of responsibility for the pro-
posed memorial service in St. Paul's ca
thedral. while the newspapers are call
ing for the postponement Of the service
until all doubts are set at rest.
The Spectator says: 1T matters

patton of foreigners: and not one of
the viceroys will dare oppose the anti
foreign policy.
THE plot have covered the whole en-
pire. Men who have dared to order an
attack on a Russian city upon Russian
ground will dare anything. Within a
month the viceroys of the coast towns
will have thrown off the mask; and
the only safe place for Europeans will
be on shipboard.
Europe has a terrible task, in which
hurry is out Of place. Who would
have dreamed, six months ago, that
for 10000 regulars to take Tien Tsin
would Be a difiic ult and glorious task?''
