BAD HABITS
improper Food Often Leads to Tobacco
and Drink.

Improper food creates abnormal
tastes ard there are many cases on the
medical records where the liquor habit
and tobacco habit have been caused by
wrong food and have easily been cured
by the use of the scientific food, Grape
Nuts, which so thoroughly nourishes
and rebuilds the nerves that they stop
the cry for stimulants.
A business man says: For 80 years
l smoked on an average OF 10 or Is
cigars Il day and then my nervous sys-
TEN collapsed ana l had about made up
my mind that it was all up with ne for
had tried many times to break off
from the tobacco but it always failed.
Last May l was so run down l only
weighed III pounds and ] realized that
must stop smoking and stuck 10 it
fo~ about 10 days but was so nervous
and out of sorts my family told me /
had better go back to smoking as it
was impossible to live with me. 1t
was just about this time my wife
brought a package of Grape Nuts on
the table one morning and as l could
eat nothing else she induced me to try
a little of that. SO l took teaspoon
good and by the time l had it down I
knew it had gone to the right spot so
I took some more and it was the first
food / had relished for weeks.

and as my appetite came back added
other foods and am now back to my
old weight of 1873 pounds, never felt
better in my life and strange as it may
seem I have no further craving for the
tobacco. and I thoroughly believe that
only the courage and ambition got
out of the food Grape-Nuts has given
me the strength to quit smoking. IL

Still a Chance to Get the Danish
 West Indies,

The United States may yet get the viding for their annexation to Uncla Sam's domain was ratified by the sen ate long ago, but the matter has bee l hung up in the Danish parliament. For years prior to the treaty of cession, the Danish people regarded their West Indian possessions as a white elephant and in President Grants first term they tried to sell the islands to this government, but Americans were no5 then in a mood for expansion. And as matter of fact, when Secretary Hay nobody supposed that a single objec- ton would be raised in Denmark. It was expected that if opposition showed up anywhere it would be in our own senate.
 But by one of those curious whims which sometimes overtake a people the Danes, after the trade was closed ana the United States stood ready to pay over the money, had sentimental turn and concluded that it would be shameful, a stain on their "honor'' anl otherwise dreadful to part with the islands for money. The sentiment against cession was greatly strength ened, of course, by the wild stories which were set afioat in this country by (.jr ad all the world. to the effect that high offi- | cials of the United States were bribed 1 by representatives of the Danish gov ernment. Dignity was lent to the charges by the action of the democrat tie leaders in the house of representatives the Hon. Jim Richardson of Tennessee being among the most positive bcliev- CTS in the story of q great scandal. The investigation showed that there was not a word of truth in the rumors, ana Captain Christmas, a Danish adven- turer, confessed that he had originated the yarns, but the truth was slow il Denmark to overtake the lie, and only recently there has been a revulsion O feeling once more in favor of cession Last year, after the treaty of cessior had been laid aside, the Danish govern ment. to placate the residents of tn, West Indies as well as the people a
 home who favored the transfer, sent commission to the islands to devise means for the improvement of the con dition of the islanders by the readjust
 ment of salaries, the establishment n direct lines of steamships and changes
 in customs dues. which it was hopec might reconcile the islanders to thei
 retention by Denmark.
 It now appears that the commission was very much discouraged by wha
 it saw and heard, so it is entirely pos sible that there will be strong revivl

 The United States has wealth oc S1, 235 per person. Australia has S1,229. Denmark S1,1O5 Canada S9S0. and Hol- land SS7S per person.

Homes and Mortgages.

Although the last national census was taken three years ago, interesting bull letins of the information gathered in 1900 continue to make their appearance from the census bureau. A late bulle- tin deals with the statistics of homes.
 It appears that the highest percent age of rented homes is found in the city of Washington, where fully three fourths of all the families pay rent. Throughout the east there is a hign percentage of renters. In Rhode Island Il per cent of all the families rent the houses they live in. This also is the percentage in the city of New York. Philadelphia continues to be the city of homes. but 5.9 per cent of her fami- lies living in hired houses.
 As to urban life, the number of farms operated by their owners constitute 63 per cent of all the farms ill the United States. while the number of families living on farms owned by them is Gi per cent of the total

The rleaning of the Election.

A significance attaches to yesterdays derstood Least of all can the Phoe- nix Water company afford to misun- derstand the situation. The people of Phoenix propose to have a better sys- tenn of waterworks. Practically the en- tire population is deeply dissatisfied with existing conditions, and a large majority can be safely counted for mu- nicipal ownership. By an exceedingly narrow margin the bend proposition failed of the necessary two-thirds ma jority, but the vote cast in favor of a bond issue of s300 000 wherewith to secure a modern water system for the city by no means represents the full strength that could have been mustered for the bonds. Had the voters felt assured that there was no possibility of mistake in the estimates of cost of a new system, and had it been impos- sible for the water company to make the defensive cry of "repudiation" there would have been yesterday a practically unanimous vote for the bond issue.
 It is now up to the Phoenix Water company. That company must pro- vide the city with a satisfactory and efficient water service, or prepare to relinquish the field. Two years ago, during the campaign before the first bond election, and even after the elec- ton had gone by default, the water improvements. Those promises have been fulfilled in very slight degree. The time has now come for perform ance. The people of Phoenix are tired of an inadequate water service, are tired of going without good protection from fire and are tired of paying ex- orbitant premiums for fire insurance. They propose to take matters into their own hands. Had there not been wide spread doubt whether the sum of s3OO,- GOO would suffice, they would have taken things into their own hands yes terday.
 Nc patchwork plan of bettering the present system will do. The company must expend money-great sums of money-in making over it's plant, and it must carry out the needed improve ments without delay. The verdict of the voters yesterday is merely the forerunner of what the company may expect in the near future if it does not take 8 tumble" to the fact that it must now make good" Phoenix must have an up-to-date water sys- tenn.

duty, is obvious, but to prohibit it when they are not engaged in duty seems like an arbitrary interference with their personal rights. The only ground on which such an order can be defended is that the use of cigarettes units man for his duties. That is the reason why many railway companies forbid the use, of liquor by their employees, and, in the case of liquor, the prohibition ia fully warranted. No man who indulges in the use of intoxicating bevera ges can be trusted at all times with the safety of trains and passengers.
