FOOD WON
In a Case Of Appendicitis.

Food cured a we'll known Kansas school
teacher Of appendicitis. "a year ago last
July I was taken sick with appendicitis
and was operated upon, being down in
bed for nine weeks, and although I was
given up to die by the doctor and the
entire community I got up again and went
back to work although wreck. About
the middle Of last February was taken
sick the same way but went to Eureka
Springs and stayed for five months, Ill
all the time and just about half alive.
'It was about this time I received
letter from an aunt in Nebraska. telling
me of what food called Grape Nuts had
done for her and asking me to try it. I
did so and in short time Grape Nuts
had done me more good than all of the
treatments put together My case Is
spoken Of as one of the most interesting
In Kansas for I spent over $1,000 for
medical treatment and finally had to fall
back on food and am now getting along
far better than have before for several
years. am recuperating rapidly and get
ting strong and healthy again. My stom-
ach and bowels are normal and on the
whole feel like a new man.
I studied diefetics In my work as
school teacher but never knew before that
the power Of pure scientific food could be
SO great. recommend Grape-Nuts to all
whether in health or sickness, young or
old" Name given by Postum Co., Battle
Creek, Mich
Weak intestinal digestion causes ap-
pendicitis when much white bread, pota-
toes, or partly cooked starchy cereals are
used. Grape Nuts food will prevent such
troubles because the starchy part Of the
cereals has been already changed and pre-.
digested in Grape Nuts. therefore there ii
no overtaxing of the organs and no fer.
mented food to cause trouble.
Why not something new for dessert
something out OF the ordinary! See recipe

No Break at New York.

New York, June 4.-Contrary to all an
ticipations the great building lockout is
still on. At the meeting of the United
Board of Building Trades representing
the labor men, the faction which favors a
continuation Of the strike lockout won,
BY the vote of % to 10 the board decided
to support the contention Of the United
Building Material Drivers union.
Incidentally, it rejected the report Of the
committee Of five, which recommended as
a basis of settlement that the drivers be
thrown out Of the organization. There
was big fight in the board and it was
finally decided to put the matter over for
final settlement until Monday.
SO far as the lockout is concerned, this
not only puts the situation back where it
was. but injects a fighting element in the
board.

action that will be satisfactory to either
country. Laurier seems to be in sympathy
with Secretary Cha1nberlain's new Brit
ish Tariff policy. "A reciprocity convention
between this country and Canada would
seriously interfere with that policy being
carried out, even If Endorsed by parlia-
ment.
Canada gave a preferential tariff to
Great Britain in the face Of q, good deal of
home protest, for Great Britain being on a
free trade basis had nothing to offer Cana
da in return Should She however, adopt
a protective tariff policy as Chamberlain
suggests, she and Canada could arrange
reciprocal trade policies. But II before
the Chamberlain policy is adopted, Cana
da should make reciprocity treaty with
the United States, letting us into Canada
on favored terms. and attracting Canad-
dian trade to this country. Chamberlain
would win only a partial victory. Hence

Ambassador Choate, who reached Wash

has been comforting with Secretary Hay,

anybody at this time to fortell whether
that policy will be adopted Chamberlain

arguments in favor OF an English tarifi
