COULDN'T DO IT.
Milk Diet Failed.

Food that will actually lift one out Of a
sick bed is worth knowing Of A Chi
'cago lady writes: 81 want to tell of a
positive cure Grape-Nuts Food has made
in a case that was considered almost
hopeless,
II know you do not look upon Grape
Nuts as a medicine, but, inasmuch as the
food certainly does build up worn out
systems, 1t seems to me 1t Is closely allied
to a tonic. Now about the cure.
Last Spring a dear girl friend fell Ill
and was taken to one of the hospitals,
but weeks before entering the hospital
she had been able to take nothing but
milk to nourish her, all other. foods dis
tressed the stomach 20 much that she
tried to live on the milk alone.
"The doctor in the hospital endeavored
to keep here alive with broth and other
food, but her stomach refused to retain
anything but milk, and very little of that
at time.
II worked away at the resident ply
sician until he consented to my taking
her home to see what the change would
do for her. The poor child was so very
weak and nervous and so frail that felt
quite dubious abodt the outcome, never
theless knew enough about Grape-Nuts
Food. which I intended to give her. to feel
that 1t would bring her out After she
had rested a little while warmed some
milk and poured It over Tablespoonful
of Grape-Nuts and persuaded her to take
it, She did SO with fear and trembling,
for she did not expect to keep the food
down. After giving her the food start
ed to read her a story and although II
was an interesting one, she fell asleep.
When she finally awoke her first words
were Did 1 really keep the Grape
NutsT
''She had kept them but could scarcely
believe it. After two or three hours I
gave her a little more with the same good
result. Gradually and cautiously I in
creased the amount until after few
days she was able to eat a saucer full
with no bad effects.
"She lived on Grape-Nuts entirely and
gained strength so rapidly that she soon
recovered, and now recommends Grape
Nuts to all her friends. She says she
would be glad to have anyone who Is
suffering from stomach trouble write her.
and she will tell what Grape-Nuts Food
has done for her, and how grateful she
is to the man who had the forethought to
manufacture a food already digested so
that weak stomachs can take 1t. Her
name is Lille NJ. Gestabt 4416 Wabash

"A clergyman of our acquaintance eats
a dish of Crape-Nuts before preparing
his sermon. l asked him once II he got
inspiration from the food. He said, Not
only that, but It seems to clear my mind
and make my 'thirdlys' and fourthlys'
come much more quickly\ Just think
about ones stomach nots having to think
about digesting Grape-Nuts at all. they
have done the digesting themselves, and
all we have to do is to tickle the palate
by swallowing them This same? gentle
man assured me that he would rather
dispense with any article OF food on the
table than Grape-Nuts.
I'VE eat the food regularly with some
times little fresh or canned fruit added.

his gratitude by ordering the boys to
whoop her up for Roosevelt In 1904.
Doubtless these Cabinet changes have
been a surprise to the country at large.
But they were not unexpected by expe-
rienced politicians who remember the
history of Vice-Presidentiat SUGGESTIONS.
They were predicted in these dispatches
three months ago. The public was gulled
by the little by-play at the conventional
ties at the outset As soon as he took
the oath, Mr. Roosevelt promptly indi-
Gated a polite desire to have all OF Presi-
dent McKinley's advisers remain with
him to the end. The old Cabinet cheer
fully met his views in this regard, and
figuratively If not literally there was an
effusive interchange of cordial expressions
of mutual respect and distinguished con-
sideration, which the public took for
granted as meaning that everybody was
in earnest, and the whole matter perma-
nently settled. 1t certainly looked so.
In that emotional juncture not one OF
the Cabinet gave the remotest hint that
he was wearied with office. Not one in
timated that he had private affairs which
were languishing, or that his health was
in decaying condition.
Nevertheless, but few weeks had
elapsed ere President McKinley's Secre-
tary of the Treasury and Postmaster
General found 1t inconvenient to remain
in Office for various reasons which need
not be repeated here. and after a second
interchange of platitudinous regrets, ETC.,
which meant just as much and no more
than those exchanged when Mr.. Roosevelt
came In, the two went out and the ma
chine bosses of Iowa and Wisconsin
came in.
1t is now understood that both Wiscon-
sin and Iowa are for Roosevelt in the
coming Presidential canvass These deals
are all the more significant because both
Allison and Spooner have been thought
of for the-Rresidency. and Spooner was
trimming little to be struck by light
ming up to the time of Mr.. McKinley's
assassination. Neither of them are cam
didates now. Roosevelt's incoming has
put them both out of the running. and
both have apparently gracefully accepted
the inevitable.

CHANGES IN CABINET
Shaw Expected to Wheel Iowa in the
Line for the Rough Rider and
Payne VIII Look After
Wisconsin.

New Orleans, Feb. ga special to The
T.mes-Democrat says:
The Cabinet to which Theodore Roose-
welt fell heir along with the Presidency
IL going ia pieces almost al rapidly an
thar Of Preaident Chester A. Arthur's In
1881. although there 10 no such stormy
Condition Of affairs now existing In the
Republican party a. prevailed when
Vice-President Arthur succeeded James
A. GARFIELD.
OF Garfield's Cabinet Window was sue
ceeded in the Treasury Department by
Folger within Ave weeks after Arthur
was installed in the White House. Mr..
Frelinghuysen succeeded James q. Blaine
in the State Department within three
months; Howe succeeded James in the
Postoface Department within three
months; Brewster succeeded MacVeagh
a. Attorney General In just three months;
Chandler succeeded Hunt In the Navy
Department, and Teller succeeded Kirk
wood IN the Interior Department In about
seven months after Garfield's death.
Robert T. Lincoln remained In the War
Department throughout Arthur's term.
Already In rapid succession Mr.. Roose-
welt has accepted the apparently volun-
tary designations Of two OF Mcknleys
appointees-the Postmaster Geperal and
Secretary Of the Treasury. and without
any protracted hesitation appointed their
successors. The ofIicial confirmation OF
the news that the Secretary cf the Navy
was to give up ONCE very shortly VII
