The statistics appcar to show that the people of the little county of Yuma are especial devotees to Hymen. IL is not exactly that way. The marriage statistics are raised through an influx of Calfornians, seeking to evad. the stringency of the California re-mar- riage relations. Apache countyS apparent felicity in the marriage re- lation needs d little explanation, There was no district court in that county during 1900. Two divorce eases remain on the docket untried. In Yavapai it will be observed that about one couple out of three have found marriage a failure. The general average lacks d little of Ia per cent. of divorces to the number welded.

sRApsTREET's REVIEW.

New York June 2.-Bradstreet's will say tomorrow:
 The situation is one of surtained strength in. some lines and of further im- provement in others. The crop situation, of course, remains the main subject of in terest and this, on the whole, is good one. although too much rain in the South Atlantic states and too little in Texas, with the lack of warm weather for corn in the northwest have been exceptions.
 Cotton goods, notably print cloths. bleached goods and number ofsstandard products have been advanced this week and an increase in the price of the raw material Is as much due to the better trade advices at home and abroad as 10 crop damage reports from the South.
 Hides and leather, long threatening an advance have at last succeeded in this re- spect and in addition corn and oats, among the cereals, lard among hog pro ducts cheese among dairy products ana coffee and tin are all higher on the week, the only important reduction being n wheat due mainly to liquidation of the Julv option as much as to good crop adyices European advices favor the idea that the continent of Europe will be a heavy buyer the coming cereal year.
 Iron and steel lose nothing in strength as the turn of the year approaches. Re- ports of activity in pig iron at the close of last week are confirmed, and Pittsburg advices are of sales of fully 75, GOO tons of Bessemer pig and of considerable quan- titles of other iron. Foundry pig is re- ported in better call at some markets. Nominal demand for finished material, and is quiet as a whole, but mill pro- ducts likewise show a seasonable shrink age and manufacturers are still eight weeks behind in their orders. Chicago reports some good orders for steel rails in the market with 80 demanded, where

CHANGE FOOD And Lose That Uneasy Feeling.

A man who has always been 'skin- ny chap" although hardly ever Ill, tells of the way he put on flesh and reduced his irritability and nervous condition;
 By chance he had taste of Grape Nuts Food at the table of friend and enjoyed the flavor so much that he began to have 1t every meal. He says, Tn a short time I found myself another per son, the old feeling of discontent and uneasiness left me entirely, it became a pleasure to go about my work, whereas, before for years I had always had the feeling of being a little weary. now I seem to have a surplus of energy for everything; my weight has increased Il pounds in weeks, and am still gaining.
 I have never been very sick and am sat isfed if my present improvement in health continues, I shall not be.
 The change that this food has made in my life has been remarkable and so satisfactory that am glad of the oppor- tunity to tell you. Please do not pub fish my name" Name can be given by the Postum Cereal Co. Ltd, Battle Creek, Mich.
