 Write plain, sensible letters. giving de- tailed facts of ill health caused from im- proper food and explain the improve ment, the gain in strength. in weight. or in brain power after using Grape-Nuts food.

 A change to perfectly cooked, predi- gested food like Grape-Nuts, scientific ally made and containing exactly the ele- ments nature requires for building the delicate and wonderful cells of brain and body, will quickly change a half sick person to a we'll person.

A request however. to omit name will be respected Try for one of the 33o prizes. Every one has an equal show. Don't write poetry but just honest and interesting facts about the good you have obtained from the pure food Grape-Nuts.

IA Poor Relation"

The advance sale of seats for "A Poor Relation" Sol Smith Russells famous play, which will be presented at the Jeff ferson Theatre tomorrow matinee and night, promises to be large, but this Is generally the case wherever the play Is seen. A strong cast has been secured by Manager Fred G. Berger; in fact. with the exception of Frederick Summerfield, who among all the actors in America was chosen to succeed to MT. Russells parts, it is the same company that supported the eminent comedian himself until his necessary retirement for a needed rest, and the play will be mounted with the same scenery and stage settings used by MT. Russell. There Is a touch of human kindliness in "A Poor Relation" It ap- peals to the simplest and best emotions. Its dialogue is always good, crisp and fresh. It overfiows with humor and pathos that act as shadows, bringing out in high light the comedy that permeates the whole play.

4 GREAT MINING
 BOOM IN WALKER Corona CompanySpending Vast
 Sum in Improvements PATTON'S GREAT GROWTH
New Mines Being Opened, Hundreds of Housues in Course of Construc- tlon-Large Additions to Popu-
 latlon-Mlners in Demand.

Never was industrial life in the coal haps as it is now.
 When the Pittsburg syndicate pur- chased the properties of the Corona Coal and Coke Company, the Virginia and Alabama Coal Company and the South ern Coal Company and consolidated them under the title of the Corona Coal and Iron Company 1t was suspected at the time that the purpose of the new owners was simply to eliminate com petition. But there seems to be every indication now that they bought the properties as an investment. Their announced policy of permanent development is being full filled.
 It Is said that the Pittsburg owners are highly pleased with their Walker county venture. They are spending a vast sum of money in mining Improvements and are building extensively. At Corona they are doubling the former capacity of the mines
 Patton Is beginning to look like a city. Over 100 houses are going up there and hustle is the rule everywhere around.
 
 bank cars are being built. The rope sys- tenn has been introduced in one of the new openings. New miners and other wage workers are arriving daily at Pat ton and everybody finds employment. The superintendent of the Patton proper ty reports that he will need by the 18th of October a hundred more miners than he sees In sight.
 Between seven and eight hundred tons of coal are shipped from Patton every day, and before the last of the month the company expects to dig one thousand tons per day.
 At it's Coal Valley place the company has erected large and handsome store and of1ce-the largest store building in Walker county, 1t is said. Nearly 0 hun dred dwellings are in course of construc- ton there New openings are being made new cars are being built, new ma chinery is being installed and the rush and hustle are almost, if not quite, as marked at Coal Valley as at Patton. The superintendent says that soon two hun dred additional men can find employment there at good wages. The work will be steady and the men will lose no time. But the superintendent says he will en- ploy only f1rst-class miners.
 The Corona Coal and Iron Company Is expending altogether on mine develop ment $10O,0OO, and the management is de- termined, it is said. to make its property the best producer in Walker county.
