IN THE KINDERGARTEN
The Grape Nuts Boy at the Head.


A proud mother, whose little fellow
leads his class in the kindergarten says
of his babyhood: my little boy was
strong as any child could be up TO year
old. when he began to decline.
He grew worse rapidly and In rev
weeks was only shadow, and although
infant foods and other prepared foods
were prescribed he continued to grow
worse The physician said he would nave
to have proper nourishment or he would
die. and he was certainly getting weaker
all the time.
1--WE had been using Grapefruit food
in our family so concluded to try 1t on
the baby To my surprise and deilght
he relished it, and from that time 1t be
came apparent that he was gaming IN
strength. In remarkably short time
baby had recovered his health, and by
the time he was 20 months old he was
completely cured of all trouble. He u
now over years old, and In the last
two years has used Grapefruit steadily
as a part of his diet, and as a result of
the power Of this proper food now have
a boy roster and stronger than the aver
age 4-year- old boy, and in perfect health.
HE is the youngest in a class of TWEEN
ty at his kindergarten and in his games
and memory work he excels them ALL He
is certainly perfect specimen of boy
hood now, physically and mentally. All
of this I know is attributable to the

'BOSsY IS A MINT
Cows Supplying Creameries Coin
$40, 100000 a Year for Min
nesota Farmers.
Creameries of the State Turn Out
75,ooo,ooo Pounds of Butter
Every Year.

The annual butter product Of Minnesota
creameries is 75,000,000 pounds, which
brings to the makers $17,5O0, 900 a year.
This is the estimate of w. w. WALL secre-
tary of the state dairy and food depart
ment.
Nearly half the cows in the state are
used to supply milk and cream for the
6S1 creameries. In round numbers 100000
COWS supply these oreameries with $780,
900 pounds of milk every day, from which
27S,000 pounds of butter are made. Most
of this butter finds Its way thru the twin
city commission men to the New York
market. where it commands a fancy
price.
There are $4,000 patrons of Minnesota
creameries, who send in milk daily, and
they receive for their milk approximately
100000 year.
Less than half the cows of the state
are kip to supply the creameries, but as
a rule they are the better milk pro-
ducers, and the total production Of the
state Is just about double the figure given
for the creamery supply, or 10000, 900
pounds of milk each day.

lsttion had been offered to Hon. w. II.
Eustis of the same city is incorrect. AL
tho the president and Secretary Shaw had
canyassed the availability of Mr.. Eustis
and agreed that he was in every way
worthy of the place, at that time Mr.. Hay
was being considered for another posi-
ton, but when-git developed that there
could be only one place given to Mime

ters.' Ger Y
The Journal correspondent endeavored
to secure more detailed explanation from
the secretary, but he declined to discuss
the matter any further. From what can
be learned here, however, it appears that
the Esecretary was anxious to have ME-.
Eustis appointed because of his knowl-
edge Of his qualifications. Mr.: Eustis i'm
pressed the secretary very favorably with
the way in which he discharged his mis-
sion to Hawaii last winter. AT that time
Mr.. Eustis was not only charged with the
duty of selecting sites for public build
ings on the islands, but was also directed
to make a study Of financial conditions
and president. He filed an exhaustive re-
port, but there wasfno occasion to use it,
| because congress had already enacted
| legislation relating to Hawaiian coinage.
Without making any tender of the posi-
ton Of general appraiser to Mr.. Eustis,
Secretary Shaw suggested that he file
some recommendations to be used when
the president made up his mind about the
appointment. Mr.. Hays claims for an
other position had; already been presented
to the president. who then suggested his
appointment as member Of the board OF
general appraisers, which was offered to
him and accepted. It may be said that
Secretary Shaw is impressed with the
action Of Mr.. Eustis in his withdrawal OF
any supposed claim he might have had
for the place. III. G.. Stevens.

Mr.. Grace isbuilding the new plant Of

The st. Paul shops are union, but the

DON'T LIKE OUR COINAGE
The Canadian Manufacturers Would
Drive United States Coins Out
Of the Dominion.
New York Sun Special Service.


Toronto, Sept. 19.-To prevent the circu-
lation of United States silver in Canada
a resolution was passed at the meeting Of
the Canadian Manufa eturers association
calling upon the government to remove
from circulation and to export all foreign
silver coinage and substitute Canadian
coinage. The reason for this action is
that. apart from the border American
cities, Canadian silver coinage is not taken
at par in the United States, while in any
part of Canada American silver is accepted
at its face value, except the nickel. 1t
is not probable that the government will
take any action.
The manufacturers here fear the COM
petition of the American manufacturers.
A fund has been started among the mem
beers of the association to carry on an edu-
scational campaign with view to forcing
the Canadian government to erect a tariff
wall against the United States.

/. bia Is Expected to Take
This Course.

Panama, Sept. 19.-Members of congress
who arrived here from Bogota fatty deny
that United States Minister Beaupre's
notes caused rejection of the Hay Herran
treaty The minister's notes, they say,
did not influence the senators, all of
whom were opposed to the treaty except
Senator Obaldia. Rejection, therefore,
was foregone conclusion. There had,
however, been an Intention to permit the
treaty measure to pass the first reading
for the sake of conventional courtesy.
Minister Beaupre. it is reported, will
probably ask for his passports as soon as
he is officially notified of the rejection of
the treaty and finds that there are no
hopes Of its renewal.
The latest advices from Bogota say that
the central government has no intention
Of sending further military reinforcements
to the isthmus as under the present cir
cu1nstances such action would be injudi-
cious and would precipitate matters.
It is considered in Bogota that the 18TH
mus is sufficiently guarded by the present
garrison Of 500 men. There are also three
gunboats on the Pacific side ready for any
emergency Besides it is held that the
presence Of a large number Of troops on
the isthmus would raise the mortality
rate and would cause much cash outlay
which would be burdensome in view Of the
strained financial situation.

to a letter from him, Mr. Eustis asked the

He then, found that an Endorsement Of

finding that he was, likely to interfere
with Mr.. Hays chances, Mr.. Eustis wrote
