thanks or not.

ALL DAV SUNDAY
She Thought About Food That
Would A gree With Her.


An unnatural appetite for rich and
improper food is really kept alive by
the use of such foods, whereas a change
to healthful, nourishing, and scientific
ally made food will correct the unnat-
ural appetite. A little woman up at
Peekskill, N. Y, Margaret Smith, P.
o. Box 1893, says:
II was such q sufferer from dyspep-
STA that life was burden. I could
hardly keep from eating all sorts Of
pastry cakes, and other rich foods, all
though they did not agree with me, nor
in fact did any sort of food. ] became
low spirited and discouraged was too
weak to work, and very seriously trou-
bled with palpitation of the heart.
Drugs seemed to make me worse
rather than better. A friend said one
day: I believe Grape-Nut food would
cure you, explaining that that food
was made with great care and intended
for the prevention and relief of diseases
that were brought about by improper
food
THAT was Saturday night, and all
day Sunday l kept thinking about
Grape Nuts, and the first thing Monday
morning L sent for package had 1t
in nv mind that the food would look
like nuts, and was disappointed when
I found it had to be eaten with a
spoon However, l followed the direc-
lions and made a meal OF Irape-Nuts
and milk, which found to be delicious,
and for the first time in months [ suf-
fered no distress after eating.
''I at once began to feel hopeful that
I might be cured at last. Since that
day 1 have used Grape-Nuts constantly
morning and night, and have steadily
improved in health, until now am as
well as 1 ever was in my life; weigh 10
rounds more than I did year ago,
have no palpitation of the heart, and
can work all day long.
AT supper 1 have Grape-Nuts mixed
with soft boiled eggs. I make my
dinner on any kind of food 1 desire.
One of the best things about this cure
by proper food is that l no longer have
any desire for the rich, indigestible
rubbish of which 1 used to be so fond"

cal Year Than i'm the Previous Year
Increased Expenditures In Some Lines
Through Permanent improvements.
Comptroller Grant and his clerks
have compiled the expenditures OF the
state for the fiscal year ending Septem-
Der 80 and the table is published here
with. The total amount expended by
the state on orders drawn by the comp
troller on the civil list funds Is $3.50
48179, as against $2,442, 1864 in the pre-
yious fiscal year, reduction of $96 Co.,
Is. The previous year was the year OF
the session of the general assembly,
and the expense of that body Sl4' ,36o'Uo'
does not appear in this years disburse-
ments This would indicate that the
state has spent on regular account Sbl,-
500 SO more than in the fiscal year 1898
90, but such is not exactly the fact
The increased expenditures have been
In special lines, mainly permanent I'M
provements authorized by the general
assembly. The judicial expenses in
clude the salaries of the clerks of the
superior court, a new feature, and the
fees paid into the state treasury, which
formerly went to the clerks, do not ap-
pear on the comptroller's books. They
will be shown in the treasurer's account
of receipts. The increase in the item OF
capitol and grounds is accounted for by
the expense of removing the restaurant
and fitting up g. new one in the top OF
the building with new committee rooms,
etc, and the building and equtpplrg
a new elevator in the east wing of the
building. The increase in the item OF
humane institutions is accounted for by
the large expenditures authorized Tor
improvements at the Connecticut hos
pitaI for the insane at Middletown, $70,-
900, and for money paid to hospitals
which were formerly not on the list OF
those supported by the state. The ex-
penditures on account of sick and
wounded soldiers include $4,000 for
new buildings at the Soldiers home at
Noroton Other items Of increased ex-
penditure include the state prison,
where considerable money has been
spent on new buildings fish and game
commission, special commissions au-
thorized by the general assembly, the
building and loan commissioner, etc
During the year the state has paid off
100000 in bonds, thus reducing the la
bilities or debt of the state by that
amount, and the net result of the f1nan-
cial management Of the state during
the fiscal year ending September 30,
1900, has been large gain, showing
good management Of public funds and
care in expenditures and supervision.

penditures for the fiscal year just end

Many people in LEWISTON are OF
the same opinion as Colonel Lane.
They wonder what will he the next
move Of the opposition that SEEKS
to defeat municipal ownership
The concessions made Monday
night were made not so much
because of the illegality Of the
movement begun as ID cut from
beneath the opposition all ground
they stood upon and see whether
or not their actions were induced
by good faith, or whether back OF
il all there was an organized effort
having for its purpose the defeat OF
the entire project. The plant will
now be exported and its value de-
termined, and a new proposal will
be made on the basis of the experts
report. If The purchase is not
effected then a bond issue ior the
construction Of new plant will
probably be voted upon. Those
favoring the scheme of municipal
ownership will move forward with
singleness of purpose. If the oppo
sition pushes the fight we shall see
what we shall see.

Verify, he belongs to the discon-

have been unsuccessful, aud who
view with suspicion all those whose

of those who preach the gospel oil
discomfort and whose lives are a
