MAKES CHILDREN BRAINY.
Proof About Feeding.

It has been proved times without number that properly selected food will build up the brain. The testimony of a school teacher on this subject is good, The letter is long and only the impor- tant facts will be given.
 While I was teaching school in 1S9S a little girl in the household where lived was very fond of Grape-Nuts and would eat all she was allowed I noticed that she was a remarkably bright pupil There were five other children, all of one family, that were so marked in their work They were really the bright est family I ever knew, so I questioned to find what they were using. They re- piled, Only Grape-NutS.' l learned upon further inquiry that this was their chief diet for breakfast and discovered that their luncheon consisted generally of Grape Nuts with cream and little fruit
 I had suffered from dyspssia, head aches and general debility greatly and, as knew, my diet was not well selected I took up Grape Nuts Breakfast Food and carried it to school for luncheon. I soon discovered change in my condi- tion and found that Grape-Nuts afford ed more nourishment than bread, meat eggs or anything that l could take in y77y- basket After lurcheon I would feal strong and bright for the afternoons work while before I had frequently been half ill.
 In the spring of 1900 I went to college rented room and boarded myself, sub ssting largely on Grape-Nuts, and I cannot speak too highly of the food as a brain nourisher. At the end of a years schooling I obtained position in one of the ward schools in this, a college town, and am well and happy.
 The wife of the college principal tells me that there is no food that agrees with her as well as Grape-Nuts and that testimony was repeated by a lady friend in my own home. Name given by Postum Co.,, Battle Creek. Mich.

That is the chinks get together in larger numbers, and there is all kinds of festivities, There is speech making and feastings, and for the time being the heather forgets that there is such thing as work and that at times he has to do it.

HEAD OF NEW OIL TRUST.
Untold wealth of John ID. Rockefei-
Ter and standard OF Company.

Untold wealth of John ID. Rockefei-
Ter and standard OF Company.
The Standard oil company. which is
at the head Of the new oil trust, is cap
italized at Sl100000G0 under the laws
OF the state of New Jersey, but is
worth at least billion and half be
cause of the appreciation of its stock,
says the New York Journal
This octopus. which has from its mod
est beginning brought about commu-
nifty OF interests In the oil business OF
the world, forcing the house Of the
Rothschilds to come to its terms, Is the
owner Of fleets buildings, towns, plants
that cover miles Of territory, thousands
of railroad oil cars and 10000 miles Of
oil tubing
In its possession Is nearly all Of the
oil land In America north Of Texas,
some Of it--and the greatest holding
being In western Pennsylvania and
West Virginia. Its grasp has extended
to nearly every country In the world,
controlling the trade In nearly every
section, and so profitable has become
it's trade that In 1899 the profits amount
ed to $4S,000,000 and have been in
creasing at a prolific rate every year
since.
OF John ID. Rockefeller's holdings In
the Standard OIL alone an intimate Of
the financier remarked in Wall street
recently, Il should say that Mr. Rock
efeller was worth today little less
than thousand million dollars. Take
his holdings In Standard Oil alone.
They have been worth during the pres
ent year more than $300,0000o0. But
il must be remembered that Mr.. Rock
efeller. who squanders less than most
rich men on his personal wants, has
been growing rich at the rate of com
pound interest.
II don't think any man will deny
that Mr.. Rockefeller has made an av-
erage of $30,000,000 a year for ten
years. The reinvestment of this sum
alone. supposing he had no principal,
at ) per cent compound interest would
mean the addition of more than $780,
100000 to his riches.
But the securities from which this
income has been derived have steadily
increased in value. His Standard Oil
holdings in three or four years have
doubled in market value; his railway
and other securities have advanced ire
mendously. and in the past three years
his wealth has increased in q sum
which would astonish the American
people if the actual figures were laid
before them.
There are few first class railroads
in which he does not own some of the
stock. There are few trusts in which
he has not been compelled to rein
vest his constantly increasing income.
At the present quotations for secur-
tiles it is impossible that he should be
worth much less than thousand mil
lion dollars"
