 Faith in Arizona.

Senator Warner Miller and son Max Miller Of Herkimer, N. Y, spent yes terday in Phoenix, leaving on this mornings train for the north. They left horle three CT four weeks ago, have visited many cities and points of interest in the west and after a short visit to the Grand canyon will return east again.
 MT. Miller. beside being a well known man in national affairs. is a friend of Arizona. He has various in vestments here, and among other things is interested in the Congress mine and in the opera tions of the Con- solidated Mines company at Tombstone. His visit to Arizona at this time was particularly to visit Tombstone, where he spent a day or two in noting the progress of opera tions. He expresses himself as pleased with the progress being made, and believes the enterprise will prove a successful one, and that at an early day. He expresses great confidence in the management of E. F.. Gage and w. r. Staunton, under whose direction the work is being carried on.
 MT. Miller was in Phoenix two years ago. and while there has been but little change in the appearance of the city. he say: the contrast between the great deserts and the irrigated acres of this valley are always pleasing and impress sive He drove out to the Indian school yesterday after the rain, ard said he enjoyed the ride. even though it was muddy and the fields were under water.
 Mir. Miller and son may spend day in Prescott with President r. M. Mur- phy and others. or these gentlemen may decide this morning to accompany him to the Grand canycn.

 During the eight months ending with August, 1901, S9,4OO, 900 Australian gold came in, and in the same period of 1900 S5,S00, coo. From this it will be seen that the movement this year starts in somewhat later than in the two pre- ceding years.
 There was little change in the money situation today. While the high level for call money was per cent, as com pared with 10 per cent on the preceding day, there was no change in the aver age rate, which was per cent. Banks do not appear anxious to expand their loans. The bulk of the call funds of fered today was from trust companies and private banking institutions.
 The foreign exchange market today was a shade easier. The closing quo tation for demand sterling was S4.S635 @4s640 While this is, below the par of exchange. stin it is believed that no gold for export will be negotiated above $4.S525. Paris exchange on London is quoted at 25f 2lc. Grain and cotton bills continue to make their appear ance in the market in considerable vel ume, although tho demand for remit tance is light.
 There is little demand for government bonds from national banks. The most of the new circulation that has recent ly been issued by national banking in stitutions was taken out on bonds that were purchased when selling far be- low current quotations.

A TRUE SAYING. Most Men Dig Their Graves With
 Their Teeth"

The wrong kind of food fills more graves than any other cause It is easy to retain good health by the use of proper food and it is pleasant too The Rev. G. M. Lodge of Iowa City, Iowa, made a successful experiment.
 T am 65 years of age and a preacher Last winter I went to Kansas and mad charge of two churches. A little use of Grape Nuts food made me believe it to be a true brain and nerve builder: wanted to experiment further with it so I used Grape Nuts for breakfast and supper for more than three months with the best results. I not only never had better health in my life but the effect on my brain was wonderful had become forgetful of names and persons and things. was often unable to recall even the names of old friends.
 After using Grape Nuts for two weeks forgotten names came to me and as the days and weeks passed my mem ory was wonderfully quickened as to names and dates, and mental ability in general. I could preach without manu- script or notes as never before and in month or less I said to myself, Grape Nuts is a brain food and as such I now recommend it.
 It also gives health and blood, nerve and muscle. Cheerfully and earnestly advise students, clergymen, teachers and all mental workers to use Grape Nuts steadily and systematically if you wish to excel in mental and literary work, renew your age and feel well. It is the best nerve and brain food I have ever known"
