FED THE DOCTOR.
How He Made Use of Food.

Sometimes it is the doctor himself who
finds it wise to quit the medicines and
cure himself by food.
In looking around for a concentrated
palatable prepared food I got hold OF
Grape-Nuts and Immediately began
using it four times a day, exclusively
for breakfast with milk: for luncheon
and dinner as dessert, and a cup on re
firing" says a physician of Mt Zion, III.
Il had had nervous dyspepsia for over
a year NY normal weight is 40 pounds
but had been steadily losing flesh un-
til a month ago only weighed 122
pounds I concluded it was time 60
throw 'Dhysic to the dogs in my case.
Twenty-four hours after starting the
Grape Nuts regime the fullnesS and dis
tress after eating had ceased. The
heartburn, waterbrash, palDitation Of
the heart and other symptoms that
had reminded me for over a year that
had a stomach. soon disappeared and
I can now eat a square meal and feel
good afterwards.
I weighed yesterday and was sur
prised to find that I had gained Is
pounds IN month. and the end is not
vet.
The nervous symptoms have entirely
disa peared and I am stronger than I
have been for two years I thank yos
for placing Grape-Nuts at the disposal
Of those suffering with nervous dyS-
pepsia" Name given by Postum &C.,

IN M'KINLEY'S HONOR.
The Unusual Mark of Respect Paid to
the Martyred President

bu0 AldEByI6Q 6ICStU0Ab
No American President vas so well
liked in life as William Mckinley and
in his death he is not forgotten. The
memory of his taking off suhlces still
to cause a pang and a poignant regret.
but, as his old friend. Senator Hanna
has said i would rather rejoice THAI
he was born and lived than remember
that he died" At the birthday exer
cises this week in Canton and elsewhere
the people who preferred him for their
highest honor and suprement trust
choose rather to celebrate how he served
them than to recall the bitter time
wherein his services ended.
It is good for the nation to recount te-
itself the qualities that made the dea
president what he was. He knew his
( countrymen and he trusted them He
was never afraid to appeal to public
sentiment, but he appealed always to
that which was honorable and lofty III
it. He understood politics. but in poll
tics he followed the high path where
every man of principle and convictions
may tread unashamed. He fought hard
but he fought fair, and he gave his OPP
ponents the same fundamental respect
and consideration he gave to his friends
Throughout his carer he was true to his
Ideal Of personal honor and service to
the public veal. The word s.consecra-
ton was often on his lips, and even
his enemies came to know. at last thai
the thing itself was in his soul
Sunny haired, clear-headed, and far
sighted William Mckinley embodied
the best that was in the national char
acter- It was only fitting that his adj
ministration should be one with a for
tune, a prestige, and a splendor without
precedent--New York Mail and EXPIRES.

NAMES NOT SATISFACTORY.
Two Women Who May BE Favored
by Legislature.

There are thus far only two bills be-
fore the legislature 20 change the names
of persons. aud both are Tor women who
want to be restored to their maiden
names One is Alice Almeda BerlzaA Of
Meade county. who wants her name
changed to Alice Boyer. and the other
is Anna Tarvin of Marshall county, who
wants her name changed back to Anna
Barrett
Both bills were referred to TIE judic-
larry committee and promptly killed by
that committee, but 3. P Waggener,
the chairman. advised that they be in
troduced again and sent to the judiciary
local committee. He said the reason his
committee reported adversely or the bills
was that they had been enormously re-
ferred. Both viii be again introduced.
Mrs. Tarvin is a Marshall county

was married but few DAYS after their
marriage her husband took about $500

NO BACK NUMBERS.
House Won't Print Bills That Have
Been Killed.

The house has sat down on the idea
of printing bills and placing them on
the calendar after they have been turn
ed down by a committee. Several at
tempts of this kind were made yester-
day, Representative Robbins had two
bills, one to make it possible to MAIN
tain a school in district having only
three pupils instead of seven, as are
now required. and which had been kill
ed by the committee on education; and
another to compel the publication of
the proceedings of township boards,
which was turned down by the judic-
larry committee.
Both bills brought forth an encounter
between Robbins and Bevington. Bev-
ington said the present law compels
township clerks to post printed reports
at the township elections, and that
Robbins school bill would allow some
family with only three children to com
pei all the other people in a district to
maintain school for only those three
children, and that the committee on
education had unanimously reported
against the bill.
