WITHOUT PARALLEL.
23 Physicians BaffIed for 6 Years by \ Case That Change In Food
 Cured in 6 Weeks.

q
 There is almost miraculous power in a change of food if the right food be taken on.
 A case said to be without parallel is that of a paralyzed and dumb child whom 23 different doctors were puzzled over yet who recovered his speech in two weeks and finally got entirely we'll by using the scientific food Grape-Nuts.. This child's mother was asked to tell about the case and said: Six years ago without a moments warning my boy went off into convulsions. He had three the first day and for nearly years he had from three to 60 spasms a day all of very short duration but very severe. He lost his speech entirely and lost the use of his legs and arms, also of his nerve centres, being paralyzed So that he was perfectly helpless and dumb. fed him with a teaspoon and we had him treated by physicians in many of the large cities throughout the country without being able to get any help at all.
 Tn all 23 different physicians exam ined and treated my boy and all pro- nounced his case without parallel in medical history SO far as they knew and beyond the reach of medical sci- ence. His bowels never moved without physic, going as long as three weeks. His lower bowels could not handle food the least bit starchy. y
 .tHe did not seem to have a disease of any kind and as the physicians were all baffied I did not know what to do and we gave up hope. The doctors said his nerves and brain were affected and poor circulation and cerebrospinal irritation caused his convulsions He had as high as 200 convulsions in two weeks as many doctors can testify. z .''A st.
 Now comes the wonderful part of the tale for he had not taken Grape Nuts one week when his bowels moved and inside of two weeks he began to talk. only being able to say words of one syllable at first. In 6 weeks he has im- proved beyond comprehension and his case, which has astounded so many physicians, has completely yielded to the pure food Grape-Nuts. We lost nearly everything experimenting with different physicians and specialists, but I shall have to have Grape-Nuts for my boy if have to beg it.' Name given by Postum Co.,, Battle Creek, Mich. :. The power of the wrong food to dc harm and the power of the pure food to cure are realized by very few people The power of Grape-Nuts is proved by trial ss

COTTON is KING.

/. Statistics recently sent out by tho Treas
uly Bureau in washington show that the
value OF raw cotton exported in the eleven
months ended with May Is $685. ,o95,
which Is $5,ooo,o0O in excess OF the high
est record, Should the June figures equal
those OF June 1902 the total value OF the
fiscal year will be s917.o0o,o 900. or 100000
In excess Of the banner year. 1901.
The quantity Is less, however. than IN
some other years. The total quantity ex-
ported in the eleven months ended with
May is 3,4S1, 2s7 pounds. as against
S,2oS,621. 47s pounds In the corresponding
months of 1901, when the value was but
s5,oo0.OOo less than at the present time,
and s,721, 310.O09 pounds in eleven months
of 1898, when the value was but s222, 4l4,lso'
Thus tho total quantity at the present
time is 24o,oooOoo pounds less than that OF
the corresponding eleven months OF 1885,
but the value is sseo0o,ooo in excess OF
the value for the corresponding period
of that year.
The value Of cotton manufactures OK
ported has also increased. and this year
will be record breaker. The total value
of cotton manufactures exported IN the
ten months ended with April is ,559,
Indicating that the total for the full fis-
cal wear probably will be about $34, 100000.
as against So, 100000 In 1902, s24,ooo'ooo In
1900. s1O,0oo,ooo in 1890, slo.o0oooo in 1880
and 100000 in 1870.
But there Is one feature OF the report
that is not so encouraging. 1t Is fur
Their stated that the inportations OF for
eign cotton, chiefly Egyptian. are grow
ing with remarkable rapidity. the impor-
tations in the present year being likely
to reach 100000 pounds to which may
be added 2O,0ooooo pounds OF Clocks"
or cotton waste. with a total valuation Of
about s12ooo.ooo, as against 100000
pounds of raw cotton and $1,000 pounds OF
waste imported In 1888, valued at less than
$4,000. 900. 8 I'll u
Tho South has had practically monop-
oily OF the cotton growing industry. and
will continue to supply at least tho home
demand for raw cotton 80 long as the
supply from the plantations IS abundant
and cheap. But when the supply Is not
equal to the demand. and especially when
the price is abnornally high. Southern
planters may look out for foreign COM

THE TEMPERANCE CAUSE.

The 1wlaiskey question Is now claiming
the attention Of medical science and stu
dents of penology the world over. 1t Is
generally agreed that whisltey Is fruit
3ul source of crime and of insanity. by
order of the United States government
n report OF tho proceedings OF the Sixth
International Prison Congress-. held IN
Brussels two years ago, has Just been
published, in which it is stated that as
an immediate and essential influence on
crime, drinking excee6s any of the other
recognized causes.
Dr.. Robert Jones. medical superinten-
dent of the Claybury Lunatic Asylum AT
London. recently made an exhibit, show
ing that OF the 10000 certified insane
persons now DIN England and Wales Alone
alcohol is assigned as the cause OF tnsan-
ity in 2l5 per cent Of the males and O.5
per cent of the females.
Taking this statement for text. the
New York Medical Record says that al
most every country In the world Is taking
up the drink question alarmed at the an
reads which tho unbridled consumption
Of alcohol has made and Is making Into
the prosperity, health and morals of their
people.
But more than all this, business men
are Insisting that their employees must be
sober. knowing full we'll that the man
who keeps his brain beclouded with al
cohol is in no condition to do first-class
work.
Society is also taking q hand. and
while there Is much drinking in social
circles, in the best society Of the country
drunkenness is not tolerated.
All Of this goes to show that true tenn
perance is making rapid strides. and the
danger to be feared Ia the over-zeal Of
the advocates Of prohibition. The re-
form movement is progressing in q salts
factory manner, and It will continue to
progress anw to work itself out,
It 1t DO guided by conserNa-
tive men. But If 1t run into
extremes: If it DO pushed ahead OF pub
lilo sentiment. there will be an unhealthy
reaction, and the noble cause will receive
q geriousL setback. The true remedy for
the drink evil Is an enlightened public
conscience, and that Is to be had by a
campaign of education. Regulations Of
law are necessary. but they should be
the expression OF public sentiment.
Whenever We attempt the other process
Of creating sentiment by law. we attempt
to put the cart before the horse. and we
ara sura-to fail.
