DIR. FED HIMSELF.
Found the Food that Saved His Life.

A good old family physician with
lifetime experience in saving people
finally found himself sick unto death.
Medicines failed and - but let
him tell his own story. For the first
time in my life of sixty-one
years am impelled to pub
licly testify to the value Of largely
advertised article and certainly
would not pen these lines except that,
what seems to me a direct act OF
Providence, saved my life and / am
impressed that it is a bounden duty
to make It known.
For 8 years l kept failing with
stomach and liver disorders until |
was reduced 20 lbs. from my nor
NAL weight. When l got too low to
treat myself, of my associate physi-
clans advised me to put my house in
order for would be quickly going the
way of all mankind. Just about that
time l was put on a diet Of Grape
Nuts predigested food. Curiously
enough It quickly began to build me
up. appetite returned and in Is days
| gained 6 lbs. That started my re-
turn to health and really saved my
life.
"a physician is naturally prejudiced
against writing such a letter, but in
this case l am willing to declare it
from the housetops that the multi
piled thousands who are now suffering
as did can find relief and health as
easily and promptly by Grape-Nuts. II
they only knew what to do. Sincerely
and Fraternally yours" Name of this
prominent physician furnished by Pos

ARMOUR co RNERS WHEAT.
Situation CT Price or Wheat Is Highly
Artificial.

Chicago Jan. 3.-May wheat touched
new high mark-92iS@o2cA Wed
nesday, net gain for the day of axe,
and Sc higher than the average price
last fall. The local wheat situation as
regards prices is highly artificial, as is
shown by the character of the trade,
which caused so sharp gain in prices.
Armour is credited with a long line of
of 100000 bushels, contracted for
May delivery. Local contract stocks
approximate only 100000 bushels.
This comparison stirred the shorts to
more activity. but the best they could
do for the most part, was to shift the
burden among themselves. Nothing
that looked like Armour selling could
be discovered. On the other hand,
considerable commission house buying
was credited to the paramount inter-
est. Corn and oats were in process OF
concentration also.

AGREE ON STATEHOOD.
There Are To Be Two States From Four
Territories.

Washington, Jan. 25. - A definite
program as to statehood Legislation at
the present session of congress has
been outlined, and an agreement has
been reached providing for the admis-
sion of Oklahoma and Indian Territory
substantially under the terms of the
bill introduced by Senator Quay. An
other bill will be introduced in the
course of few days providing for the
admission jointly of Arizona and New
Mexico as one state.
The Oklahoma bill will be actively
pushed to it's passage under the leader
ship of Senator Quay. In the last con-
gress any form of statehood legislation
was bitterly fought by Senator Bev-
eridge, chairman of the committee on
territories, who is now in the combine
for joint statehood His leading sup
porters were Senators Hale and Platt,
of Connecticut, who were at the head
of combination of New England and
Eastern senators who met daily and
were bitterly arrayed against state
hood. They are also in the combine,
and with them are Senators Aldrich
and Allison, practically uniting all the
republicans in behalf of the Quay bill.
Among the chief points of interest in
the Quay bill are the provisions that
at least one of the United States sena-
tors representing the new state shall
be of Indian descent and that it shall
be represented in the lower house by
six representatives.

Washington, Jan. 25.-There was a
hearing before the president at his
office at the White House on the ques-
ton of the approval of the segregation
of lands for the Delaware Indians in
the Cherokee nation. The effort on
the part of the Delaware Indians was
to prevent the secretary of the interior
from setting aside the segregation of
lands heretofore made for the Delaware
Indians and substituting a new one
proposed by the Dawes commission.
The president decided that the old
segregation should stand, as contended
for by the Delewares, until the case
now pending in the supreme court of
the United States involving this same
question had been decided.

A watch that tells the second, min

the high cost. The first one cost So, 500

concern placed some on the market
which could be sold in this country for

sold at a price which only the well-to-
do could afford has just been put on
the market at a low price and 1T is
watch which fills a long felt want. Ii

arranging to turn them out in large
quantities, has, after several years of
work and the expenditure of large

ducing watch thoroughly reliable in
every way. This watch is perpetual

what is of more interest to the public
is sold at price but fraction above
that of an ordinary watch of like grade.
Contrary to the superstition of the
uninitiated, it is not an intricate as
sembly of complicated parts, but is as
simple as any regular time-piece. On

thus saving the wearer the necessity OF
changing the calendar attachment,
and in consequence the watch needs no
care or attention after being once cor
rectly set except to be wound rcgu-
larly. The manufacturers have been
quick to appreciate the certainty OF
a large demand for this article in this
country and have arranged to market
them through Dellhart Mnfrs. &

this is one of the most attractive arti-
cles in the watch line.
