The pauperization of the famine SUI
ferers as result of the charity o.
the India government, which is al
ways dreaded by the officials after such
a visitation as the country has Just
experienced, has, 10 a large extent,
been accomplished. An indication OF
this is found in the number of men and
women who are getting relief and who
are perfectly able to work the land
A Simla correspondent says that the
total number of persons row receiv-
ing relief is about 3,000.000 as against
6.5O0,0o0 two months ago. But this
great decrease is far less than was ex-
pected after the favorable rains.

a danger this season in observers reck-

able yield of December, 1898. The yield
per acre In Argentina in 1898 must
have been phenomenal indeed, for.
had not storms of wind and rain de-
stroyed 100000 tons after harvest, the
total available for expectation during
1899 would have been about II, 0OO. 900
quarters and the total crop about 49,
100000 quarters. which. being grown
on an area Of 100000 acres. indicat $
a yield of 20 bushels per acre. This
ngure may not be reached again for
years to come, and consequently. al
though the acreage is now In the
neighborhood Of 100000. 1t II quite

After spending about two years in
an effort to wind up the affairs of the
association, and INDUCING in some liti-
CATION which has now been dropped. 1t
is understood, the officials of the West
Virginia Savings and Building Associa-
ton announced yesterday that they will
make a final settlement with share
holders and other creditors ON next
Monday.
This building association, through
the business depression of few years
ago, and through some unwise invest
ments Of it's funds, lost considerable
money. Added to this fact, or possibly
resulting from the fact, there were dis
sensions among the prominent share
holders which resulted in the election
of new board of directors. Some time
ago there was litigation with the for
mer secretary, which it is now under
stood will be dismissed.
The creditors of the association will
be paid on Monday, and the funds in
possession Of the officers make it pos
sible to discharge the Indebtedness at
the rate of about sixty-one cents on the
dollar.

ATHLETES FAILURE.
Was Not Success Until He Was Put
On the Right Food.

Cecelius X. Hale. Of 1717 Barclay St.
Baltimore, Md, now quite a famous
runner, has had some interesting ex-
perience in regard to proper feeding.
His testimony is worth the atlention of
any thlete, or in fact. of any person
who cares for good sturdy, powerful
health.
Up to about Is months ago l had
been in many athletic contests, with
out much success. | about made up
my mind it was time to stop, but a
physical director of the Y. H.. c. A., OF
this city, advised me to use Grape-Nuts
food and Postum Cereal Ooffee as prin-
elpal factors in my diet.
| accepted the advice and to-day am
In possession of perfect health, and a
great many medals won in different
athletic events. l can now run a race
and finish in fine condition. whereas
before | started on the right diet, |
would find myself in faint at the end

Formerly I mad more or less nervous
trouble and severe headaches. | am
glad to say since using Grape-Nuts end
Postum Food Ooffee | have forgotten
what a headache feels like. My heart
Is In perfect condition, whereas while
was using ordinary coffee it would
not stand the heavy strain. This state
ment is absolutely true, and ! do not
OBJECT to your publishing it, for 1t may
bring back health and strength to some
poor being suffering from i'll health,
caused by the use o. improper food"
here is a reason for this; in the first
place, ordinary coffee will show it's ef-
fects somewhere in the nervous sys-
tem-frequently in weakening of the
heart or in stomach troubles. which
prevents one from obtaining the
strength and value of food. 1t is.
therefore, necessary to quit the use Of
this drug, and in it's place use Postum
cereal Food Coffee and Grape-Nuts
Food.
They were both invented by a food
expert and are made at the famous
pure food factories of the Postum Ger
cal Co.. Ltd, at Battle Creek. Mich.
This food and the food drink are both
made for definite purpose, and there
are thousands of users throughout the
world that can testify, from practical
experience, that the theory is borne out
by the facts.
