will be nervous and irritable. If she

her impure blood will cause pimples,

best medicine in the world to regulate

TITS A COMMON MISTAKE
To Over-Eat Grape-Nuts.

Letters are coming from all over the
country saying that the writer's have
been led to eat double or more than
double the allowance of Grape-Nuts
because of the fascinating flavor.
TIE result of overeating this food
is the same as in overeating candy,
or any other delcacy, the system gets
more than it requires, and there fol-
lows a spleeuing against it for time.
Contine your allowance of Grape
Nuts TO three heaping teaspoons for
the cereal part of your meal, and the
food will be a daily delight to you.
If YOU have been overeating. try
Grape-Nuts in the proper quantity,
and, our word for it, YOU will stick to
them. and obtain day by day the val
liable clements or particles which ma
ture uses To rebuild and nourish the
brain and nervous centers all over
the body. A definite feeling of
strength and reserve power comes
with the use Of this food. Have the
cook dry it in pan in the oven if it
has been exposed to, and gathered
moisture from, the air. Grape-Nuts
should be crisp and brittle.

ADDRESS PLoW SHOP MEN.
Large Meeting Conducted by EvanEelists
AT the Church.

| Large Meeting Conducted by EvanEelists
At the Church.
The evangelists who are holding the
| services at the Methodist church had
busy and profitable day yesterday.
| From the fact they held three meet
| ings, one ut the plow shop in the
| lower end Of the CITY, besides the af-
ternOon and evening meetings, dem
| onstrates clearly that they are really
out to do good TO their fellow men.
| Invitation came early in the week to
| hol d service for the benefit of the 600
employees at the shops and yesterday
| it took definite form. As soon as the
men began to return from their homes
from dinner the evaugelists, occupy
ing a raised platform in the great
blacksmith shop, began sing ''rh8t
Wonderful City" Rev. Kerr then
gave the men a talk full of the gospel
of repentance, conversion and sympa-
thy. At the close Of the address they
sang again, the selection being My
Mother is Praying for Me" No more
attentive or appreciative audience has
listened to the songs and sermons of
the evangelists since they came to our
city than the hundreds arranged pro-
miscuously around them yesterday.
In the evening the largest congre-
CATION yet present since the Sabbath
assembled to heal mighty sermon
from the lips of Rev. Kerr. The SER
mon was from the words of the psalm
list, For Thou, Lord, hast made me
glad through Thy work; l will tri-
umph in the works of Thy hands"
The works of God in creation are
wonderful, too high for the descrip-
tive powers of man. Much more is
this true in His works in atonement,
regeneration and cleansing the soul
of man. He gave a specimen of Gods
power to reform souls that are
down. He was a drunkard of Stand
ish, Mich. He went to religious SER
vices, got pierced by the telling
truths, and went away from the
meeting to get drunk. He went back
To the church in state of intoxica-
ton. But when the invitation was
given be presented himself as a can
didate for prayer.

PATIENTS.
Better Safeguards Should Be
Provided at Watertown
Asylum.
TOO MANY HAVE ESCAPED

Creating a Feeling of Unrest Not Only
Among the People in Vicinity of Hos
pItaI, But ThroughOut the County-Cur-
iosity Seekers Should BE Denied Admit
tsnce to the Institution.
The escape of Tom Coggius from
the Watertown asylum and the sub
sequent development that his feet
were frozen during his rambling, COM
ing so close upon the reported escape
from that institution of other patients,
has created feeling of unrest here, q
feeling that naturally prevails in a
keener degree in the immediate yicin-
ity of the hospital and suggests not
only the ACCESSIBILITY but the necessity
of the enforcement of stricter safe
guards to restrain those confined.
AS is known, not long since a pa
tient escaped and was killed by rail-
road train. 1t is due not only TO the
patients to preserve them from hard
ship and cruelty. but to the people at
large that those who are 50 detained
because of misfortune that has
rendered them irresponsible should
be properly restrained.
In this connection the suggestion
might be made, too, that rule should
be made to apply not only at Water
| town, but to all similar Institutions in
Illinois, to place limitations on the
| extent to which those who are apt to
visit such institutions out of mere
curiosity, are permitted to crafty
their morbid natures.
Should Be Sacred.
An asylum ought to be sacred, and
while, like other institutions, main
ined by the state, it may be visit
ed by those having proper interest in
it, vet its doors should not be thrown
open to those who are prompted sole
ly by idle curiosity.
In a word, an asylum is an institu-
ton for the benefit of those who are
assigned to it, and for the application
of any treatment that may relieve
them of their deplorable condition.
They should be protected not only
from themselves. but from the public.
