FOOD IN MEXICO.
American Food, Grape-Nuts, Replaces Native Food.

A gentleman from the City of Mexico, Paul T. Gadsden, writes that himself and some other members of his family could not live comfortably on the ordinary food in Mexico, and after using the native food for some months, finally got into a run down and exhausted condition.
 He says: An American feels mos, acutely the need in mind and body of some of the invigorating food he has been raised on in the States. Several months ago when I was particularly feeling the need of some change in food I noticed Grape-Nuts in the window of one of the large grocery stores here, and remembering how, in the States, some little nieces and nephews had grown fat and healthy on 1t, almost exclusively, I bought two packages, to see If it succeed ed as well with grown up people.
 From that day to this 1t has never been absent from our table. With us, the ex- haustion and enervation caused by this climate and the miserable diet, has entirely disappeared, and we are all in most excel lent health. vigor and spirits"

PRODUCE MARKET.
Eggs Declined to 13 Gents and House
 keepers Rejoice

The country produce market was some what quiet yesterday. Eggs declined to 1Sc.
 There is still brisk demand for hens, but yesterday afternoon the market was bare of them.
 Cheap eggs cause the economical house wife to rejoice. And the drop from 24c-at Christmas to recent quotations is reflected in the bills of fare at some of the restau- rants, which is appreciated by those who take their meals about town. A dish of scrambled eggs for which 15c was charged until recently is now priced at 10c.
 Cold storage eggs have not been in much demand this season. They are perfectly sound, but purchasers prefer the country article at higher price.

CANDL MAS.
One of the Oldest Church Festivals Is
 Being Celebrated.

Today is Candlemas, or the Feast of the Purification-forty days after the Feast of the Navity. It is one of the oldest fes- tivals of the church, having been observed, according to Catholic historians, since the year 542. in Justinian's time. This is the day on which the priests bless the candles, those for the sacramental use of the faith full in their homes as well as those used in the ceremonial of the church. The can- dles must be of pure wax. This candlemas observance is in commemoration of words of the aged Simeon when the infant Jesus was presented in the temple: "A light to tighten the Gentiles and the glory of thy people Israel"

CALF.FEEDIN0 TESTS.

station for the benefit Of
Westcrn Catticmen.

A report of the Kansas experiment
station says: Feeders find that the
average skim milk salt does not make
profitable gains in the feed lot and
will not buy him. Farmers find that
he difference in price between an or
binary skim milk calf and one that
has run with the COW is frequently
greater than the profits made from
milking. and they drop dairy work.
