Strikers to Return to Work.
MUST HAVE IT.
Properly Selected Food of Great Inn
 portance.

Loss of memory is q sure sign that the body is not taking up proper elements from the food. Then Is the time to feed especially selected foods or the person may become demented.
 A mother writes about her son and it Is interesting. My son, Albert. now 2S years old and principal of the - High School. graduated at the Kansas Univer- sity and Is post graduate of the Co., lumbia, Mo. University.
 When he began teaching about year ago he had just completed his education and was badly broken down in health He had only about two months vacation and spent 1t at Excelsior Springs. but when he returned, there was no improve ment.
 We thought he would get better after he began his work, but instead of inn proving he became more weak and ner- vous, and finally. forgetful in the school room. He tried different physicians and everything he could hear of and at last gave up school and came home, after nutting a teacher in his place.
 cooked every delicacy l could think of for him, but he became very thin and we were greatly worried about him. One day q neighbor sent over box of Grape Nuts. He caught sight of the package and after reading the statement of what the food was tntenoeo TOT, became nucn Interested and began using it.
 He liked 1t, and at the end of week was very much strengthened and im- proved. We were encouraged. He stuck to Grape Nuts and in five weeks was back in the school room.
 He Is now teaching the second term in the same place. has recovered entirely and gained wonderfully in flesh. He now weighs is5 pounds and is an expert foot ball player.
 My daughter. Georgia, eight years old. was a weak little girl until after we found what effect Grape-Nuts had on Albert, we put her on the food and now she is exceptionally stout and healthy. We wish to thank the Company for the great help the food has been to us" This lady lives at Hailsville. Mo. Name given by Postum Co, Battle Greek, Mich.

 Incineration as a substitute for burial is opposed on sentimental grounds. and these are harder to overcome than any other When the question of burning the bodies Of the dead was raised quarter of a century ago for the purpose of unit ing It's advocates In . campaign of edu. cation. the opposition was positive ana nnreasoning. Many persons admitted that they were influenced more by cuI- tom than by reason in adhering to burial. but they maintained that because they were repeIled by the suggestion Of in cineration there must be something more kindly in burial than in burning. There influence of those who oppose the pro- posed change, but the sanitary reform Is making its way slowly. Perhaps the crematories which were erected In varl- ous parts of the country have not paid as Investments, but the number of cre- nations has steadily grown in all parts of the United States.

JAY COOKIES PROFITS
His House Realized But 9xUO, 900 on
 All the Civil War Loans.

Era.
 'sThe public long thought, Mir. Cooke, and probably a little fraction of 1t still which you were the head made an im- mense amount of money from the ham ding of the government loans during the Civil War. What are the factsf" error" or 1fgnt replied the n financier imam TWO hum dred thousand dollars would cover all the profits that the banking house of Jay Cooke & Co. received for the ne. gotiation of over 5000. .0o0.0oo worth of sitv of the transactions and the far-and- wide advertising that ws carried on added to the prestige of the house. But the per- centages that we received for our nego- given by other nations as the amounts we handled were larger than those of any other war loans known. And we as- sumed all risks. too, which I understand is not the case with the agents engaging abroad in the financing of wars. In Eu- rope some great house like Rothschilds places the loan-simply financing 1t and not taking the risk of doliar-and re- ceives for 1t 2 or 21-2 per cent. in com missions. How different the case with us! On the loan have been telling you about we had 1-2 per cent. on the first $l0, ,0o0- . 600 and 3-S per cent. on all beyond that. That rate was continued until Mir. Mc- Culioch became Secretary of the Treas ury III looo, anu He rouuCSu U to l-S peI cent.--very unwarrantabiy. too. Out of that Is per cent we had to pay our sub- agents. advertising accounts and other expenses. You can see about how little was left. But the matter of our supposedly large profits was made the subject of much talk in Congress and the newspa- pears during the war. all chiefly directed against Mr. Chase by his political ene- mics. who charged him with favoritism in appointing me as special financial agent and thereby allowing me to make fabulous sums. It was all calumny and was refuted fully at the time. but sprung into life again and again, as such things will"
