Food Does 1t.
Restores Health More Surely Than
Any Medicine,

It is a short road to trouble when the
food does not supply the right material
to rebuild the brain. You cannot use the
brain without breaking down small par
ticles every day, and you cannot re-
build unless the food furnishes the right
kind of building material, and that is
albumen and phosphate of potash. Not
such as you get from the druggist but
such as Nature stores in certain kinds
of food.
Grape-Nuts contains these particles
and well defined results can be obtained
from using the toothsome, delicious
food
A brain worker whose name can be
given by the Postum Co, Battle Creek,
Mich. writes: Last fail got in a des-
perate condition through excessive men
tai work and lack OF. proper food was
finally compelled to abandon all business
and seek absolute quiet and rest IN the
country.
I had been under the care Of a good
physician for several months but it
seemed my food did not rebuild the
brain tissue properly. was on the
verge of despair when I left for the
country
Down at the ferry purchased an
evening Journal and my attention was
attracted TO the headlines of a Grape
Nuts advertisement which read Food
Cure Natures Way I read it carefully
so next morning I went IN on the new
food and in two weeks time gained 10
pounds and felt like a new man all over
I candidly believe If I had known the
remarkable sustaining power of the food
prior to my illness I would not have
needed a physician nor would I have
been sick at all.

action and q number rather than sell to
the big corporations at the price named,
are holding their iron to be sold IN
smaller lots at the higher prices now
prevailing and to all appearances likely
to prevail later in the year. In foundry
iron the week has only emphasized the
tendency of the market to cut loose from
the attempts from the more conserva-
tive elements in the trade to control
prices. Consumers are not all satisfied
apparently with promises of iron suffi-
Gent to meet their wants. without ac-
companying definite contracts to make
deliveries later in the year. The south
ern companies announcing the contin-
uance of the So price on No. 2 foundry
iron at Birmingham have not resumed
selling at that figure but other furnaces
are selling steadily at $14, Birmingham,
and in some instances higher prices are
secured. Northern furnaces have adj
vanced prices also, not only on prompt
delivery on which as high as S21 for
No. 2 delivered has been paid, but on
contract iron for the second half, which
some furnaces are holding at S19 at fur
mace.

Recent Purchase of Bessemer by the
Steel Trust.


Cleveland,O., April 10-The Iron Trade
Review, discussing market conditions
this week. says:
The purchase by the United States
steel corporation of 225. 900 tons of BESSIE
mer iron last week and 5000 tons addi-
tional this week for delivery in the six
months between October 1, 1902, and
April l. 1903 is the most significant de-
partment in the iron trade this year At
$3.50 at the furnace this iron was sold
on basis about 81 lower than the cur
rent price of No . foundry iron at CEN
trail western furnace, for delivery this
year. The fact that half the capacity
of merchant furnaces producing besse-
mer iron is thus taken up for the six
months mentioned and at such prices in
dicates pr0longing Of the conditions into
next year as well as the cooperation of
large interests, both buying and selling.
In maintaining a reasonable level of
values. The buying Of bessemer iron
with deliveries extending twelve months
beyond the date of purchase, is without
precedent apart, possibly, from OCCASION
al conversion deals. The merchant fur
mace men were not a unit on this trans
