The young men played a fast game,
large scores being made on both sides.
The home team showed better training
and had the ball in its possession the
greater part of the time. At the end
of the first half the score stood 10 to

FOOD AND WISDOM.
B-aIu workers Learn the Secret.

Ambitious students who study hard
and try their best to gain an educa-
ton frequently give down under the
pressure and are greatly disappointed
when they find they cannot carry out
the cherished desire of their life.
This result is nearly always caused
by the lack of the right kind of food
to make up the waste caused by excess
sive brain work.
The average student does not know
how to select the right kind of food.
but food expert has been at work
and has produced foo especially in
tended to nourish AMI rebuild the
brain and nerve centers throughout
the body. This food is known as
Grape-Nuts.
4 student, Rosa Scott, of Kenoma,
Mo-, says: Il was very ambitious to
succeed at school, and started under
| favorable circumstances with good
health and used what is generally
supposed to be good, substantial arti-
Giles of food, such as meat. vegetabl s.
| etc.
Il worked harl and soon became
| trou bled with distress in my stomach.
/ noticed a confu.ion of thought and
| inability to memDrize. l found it al
most impossible study in the con-
dition was in. sud resorted 10 medi-
| cine, but that did not relieve me of
my suffering, ard l seemed to grow
worse. l was in despair until one
day friend win, had passed through
a similar experience told me to stop
using medicine, and in place of ordi-
nary food use Grape-Nuts food. He
said it CONTAINED certain elements
| necessary to rebuild the wornout It's
sues of both body and brain, and pos
itively assured me that if | would use
the food l would get well and be able
to 60 on with my work.
1T seemed too good to be true, and
l a. once began the use of Grape-Nuts
Food, with an egg for breakfast. For
TIE midday meal used four heaping
teaspoOnfuls with some cream or milk
and nothing else. Then for the even
lug meal l used Grape-Nuts and fruit.
Right from the beginning, my suffer
ings were not so great, and gradually
my strength returned, and l could see
that my brain was regaining its for
mer activity.
These favorable symptoms con-
tinued until l was entirely relieved
from my trouble, and am now
ronger than l ever was before. Can
study 10 or ~ hours day with re-
suits that feel are credit to my
If.
Il would like to have students all
over the world know of the powerful
properties contained in Grape-Nuts
Food as compared with any ordinary
Diet
This sort of experience teaches
plainly the fact that there is every
thing in the selection of food if one
desires to work hard and make a sue
cess in this world. There is probably
no food known that is as perfect for
the rebuilding of the body and brain
as Grape-Nuts.

FEW ARE lLLITERATE.
Germans Have Better Educational
System than Any Other
People.

BERLIN Oct. 14.-(William E.
Curtis in Chicago Record-Herald) -
No country does so much for the ed
ucation of it's people as Germany.
The common schools are not only in
reach of the poorest, but the tuition
is free and attendance is compulsory
in childhood. Hence ignorance is a
crime, and illiterates are no more uu-
merous than criminals. Having
passed through the common schools,
the Young men and women of the
country have an opportunity to quail
lily themselves by special training fol
any one of the ninety and nine occ';-
IatiOns. In the university every
branch of science is taught and every
path of learning may be followed as
far as the ambition of the student
prompts him to go. For those who
prefer or whose circumstances may
require them to engage in CONNER
cial, mechanical or agricultural pur-
suits there are schools for training
the hands as well as the minds for
any department of human activity.
There are schools for farmers, gar
deners, florists, fruit growers, forest
ers, blacksmiths, carpenters, machin-
lists cabinet makers, bookkeepers,
tailors shoemakers, druggists; there
are cooking schools, institutes for the
training OF servant girls, BARRIERS and
ctiropodists. You can find school
| IL! Germany for teaching anything
you want to know; and it is usuall1
supported by the government and free

inal tuition is charged There is no
reason why any person in this great

| ties pertaining to the position he is
| / eq,lired to occupy.
| 1t is complained, however, that the
| Germans are more technical than
practical that they are spending too
much time in developing theories
without putting them into practice;
that the learned doctors are discov-
cring all sorts of new diseases with
out finding remedies for them; that
the electricians are spending thous-
ands of dollars in developing motors
that will run so miles an hour, when
nobody wants to travel at that speed,
and neglecting the ordinary tramway
systems which are required for the
convenience of the public. 1t is un-
doubtedly true that more discoveries
In the different fields of science are
made in Germany than In any other

ASPIRING POLITICIANS
AND NEWSPAPERS.

The report comes from Salt Lake
that Perry Heath has bought the
Salt Lake Tribune as stepping
stone TO the United States senate.
Among thoughtless and unobserving
people there is a general notion that
to be owner or part owner of a news
paper is a great help in the advance
ment of political ambitions. There
are even some foolish aspirants for
Office who are filed with that belief.
Such persons are the merest novices
in politics or they would readily un.
derstand the fallacy OF such theories,
but there are continually persons who
wish to own a newspaper" so as to
have AN organ to advance their in
terests," and there are those among
the spectators who really believe that
the ownership of a newspaper some
how or another does actually help
the owner or owners in political pref
erment.
The most casual observation sc
completely contradicts such theory
that It is strange any person woult
