ASKING QUESTIONS.
An Inquiry Changed a Mans Whole
Life.

When you get a man to recognize that
his bad feelings come from improper
food and that he can get well by using
scientific food. the battle is half won.
One of New York's business men says:
Il was troubled for a long time with
indigestion, headache, and stomach
trouble. and had taken various medi-
cines but with no good results. con
cluded to see how a change of food
would affect me. I never cared particu-
larly for cereals of any kind. but ate
meat and pastry continually and drank
coffee
Il found on inquiring. that Grape
Nuts were highly spoken of and decided
to give them trial To say I was sur
prised al the result would not begin to
do Justice to my feelings. My head
aches left me; my brain became clearer
and active, my attacks Of indigestion
grew fewer and fewer until they ceased
entirely and where once went home
tired, tagged out and indisposed to any
exertion whatever, I now found differ
ent state of affairs.
My color was good, my muscles
strong and firm and fully equal to any
thing ] asked of them, instead of soft
and nabby. I live two miles from my
business and walk il daily back and

day on a bicycle without feeling any

INTENTIONS OF GERMANY.
Wants CoaIing Stations, Even If Tt
Violates Monroe Doctrine.

In 1900 an American went to Berlin
to study a certain phase Of German pol
itics. He carried with him letters of IN
PRODUCTION from men of the highest
standing in this country. which quickly
placed him en- rapport with leading Ger
man statesmen and government officials
One day in a. call upon an official who
IS close to the emperor, the American
suggested that Germany displayed q
keen desire to obtain a foothold in
China, and that public men and students
of affairs in the United States could not
disabuse their minds of the idea that
Germany would not rest content until
she had obtained Il colony or a cOalins
station in South America.
"A colony, no; but a cOaling station,
yes the German interrupted.
7 am afraid Count" the American
replied, that you will never get your
coaling station. You see, the Monroe
doctrine would not permit it. You wil1
never get your coaling station uni

insisted and he reluctantly consented
Then Sheldon was approached and was
asked to do the hon0rs in giving Gov
ernor Hanna his buttons. because the
newspaper representatives were too hash
tul TO do it themselves. Sheldon set lis
foot down.
II never made a speech in my whole
life. I haven't got any chips in this bust
ness anyhow. and it wouldn't look right
to have me doing that sort of a thing
But he was bodily hauled into the lieu-
tenant governors room and presently
Hanna appeared. With few appropriate
words Hanna handed Sheldon his box
while that individual took in the situa-

The levee two miles south Of Caru-
thersville, is caving badly and the
