A LITTLE ACCIDENT Saved a Lot of Money.

Food that will safely and surely carry a man through exhausted mental work is worth knowing of.
 A man in St. Louis Mo-; says: "In my work, 1t Is necessary to begin at seven o'clock and work straight through without lunch until two p. m. You can readily see that this Is a strain on the ordinary person, and I was frequently worn out and sick with hunger and weak ness. On numerous occasions when two o'clock came round, I was so utterly exhausted and unstrung as to be forced to lose the remainder of the day, and that carried with 1t loss of money.
 The first package of Grape-Nuts came into our house little over a year ago by accident There has been one by de- sign ever since that time. Almost im- mediately after beginning to use Grape Nuts, I felt Its good effect In my ability to work those long hours in comfort. There was no sickness or weakness, and no loss of time from exhaustion. In my business, 1t Is also necessary to work every Wednesday night of each week. The change from day to night work and then back again Is certainly no light call on the reserve force of any one, and my invariable preparation for this task is a generous saucer of Grape-Nuts and cream, light lunch but most sustain ing one.
 An old friend was visiting me recently, and while eating the evening meal, was extolling Grape-Nuts to him. He rather doubted the deliciousness of the food. My three children, aged four, six and eight years, were at the time watch ing a large cream cake on the table. and enjoying in anticipation the treat. asked the three which they would prefer for Eo Nttfa Without hesitation. they answered in chorus, 'Grape-Nuts' My friend was con- vinced.
 The only breakfast the children have Is Grape-Nuts and rich milk. and you could not find a more healthy trio" Name given by Postum Co.,, Battle Creek. Mich,

INITIATES ROOSEVELT. French Minister Trying to Settle Coal Strike In That Country.

Paris, October 24.-Premier Combes had a two-hours' conference with the na- tional committee of the miners federa- tion today and the latter agreed to sub init the demands of the miners to arbi- tration, which the committee declared ought to include the establishment of a minimum wage and regulation of the hours of the workers.
 MT. Combes will next consult the dele gates of the companies. The action of the French premier is regarded here as evi- dently being emulation of President Roosevelt's intervention in the coal strike in the United States.
