Proper Food Put Him Right.

The food experience of a physician

liable:
IAN attack of grip so severe it came
near making an end of me left my
stomach in such condition 1 could not
retain any ordinary food. I knew of
course that 1 must have food nourish-
ment or I could not recover.
II began to take four teaspoonfuls
of Grape-Nuts and cream three times
day and for two weeks this was
almost my only food; it tasted so de-
Iicious that L enjoyed it immensely
and my stomach handled it perfectly
from the first mouthful 1t was so
nourishfng was quickly built back to
normal health and strength.
"At the present time 1 am prepar-
ing a paper for two medical journals
in which / mention my own case and
speak particularly of Grape-Nuts'
great value as food to sustain life dur
ing serious attacks in which the
stomach is so deranged it cannot d.
gest and assimilate other foods.

more widely used by physicians will
save many lives that are otherwise

NEW SALARY SCHEDULE.
For Rural Mail Carriers Is Now in
Effect.

Washington, July 19.-The new sal
airy schedule for rural mail carriers
has been completed. The new sched-
ule applies from July /. The last
congress raised the maximum salary
from $500 to $3.50 year. 1t was
found that the maximum route was "a
miles long, and to carriers on routes
of this length, numbering about H.
900, the maximum salary will be
paid. The salaries of carriers on
routes shorter than the maximum was
fixed by deducting SIS for each mile
less than "a. The net result has been
that slightly over two-thirds of the
whole force of 24,500 rural carriers
have received an increase of $100
year in their salaries. The remaining
carriers have received increases of
less than that amount.

ovERPRoDUCT1oN OF COAL.
Eight Thousand Ohio Miners Placed
on Half Time.

Cleveland, July Blowing to lack of
demand all the coal mines in the Eighth
Ohio district, which is largely owned by
Cleveland operators, have been put upon
half time. The district covers the south
eastern portion of the state and is the
most productive of the Ohio fields Eight
thousand men are affected by the curtail-
ment of operations.
The action of the operators in cuttin g
in half their production is the result of
an almost unprecedented stagnatiOn in
business In no district does there APP
pear to be demand for coal The bins at
all the mines are full to overlooking and
a complete suspension of opera tons is
said to be almost inevitable unless the
market receives an early stimulation. The
closing of many factories is the cause
said to be responsible for this condition.
Patrick Mcbride, secretary of the opera
tors of the Eighth Ohio district, said to-
day that he had not known in many years
conditions such prevail at the present
time. He continued:
L have never seen the coal market to
be so greatly overstocked. The only way
to meet the condition is to cut the pro-
duction and this we now doing. Even
on half time the miners make fair wages
and are in a comparatively prosperous
condition.
