Wives for Early Virginians.

A Louisiauian who has recently been examining some old docu- ments relating to the colonizing of Virginia, says that he has discov- cred that the purchase of young women as wives was in vC que in the early settlement of that state.
 Speaking to representative of the New Orleans Times Demo ocia at, this gentleman says: "A letter accom- panying one of these shipments, and dated London, Aug. I2, 1921,
 is illustrative of the simplicity of the times and the concern for the welfare of the colony. It is as fol- lows: We send you, in the ship, one wiGow and eleven maids for wives for the people of Virginia; there has been especial care had i'll the choice of them; for there hath not any of them been received but upon good recommendations. In case they cannot be presently maj ried, we desiIe that they be put with several householders that have wives. till they can be provided with husbands.

more Northern districts which are

apple trees set out during the past
year was very heavy, and very
large number Of both will bear fruit
this summer and fall for the first

The representatives of all railroads
reaching the fruit districts agreed
that the increase in business from
those districts in 1904 would amount
to at least 80 per cent, over any pre-

The Truth About Animals.

The serious student of nature esn
have no interest in belittling or in 6x-
aggerating the intelligence of animals.
What he wants is the truth about
them, and this he will not get from
our natural history romancers, nor
from the casual, unframed observers
who are sure to interpret the lives of
The wood folk in terms of their own
motives and experiences, nor from In
dians, trappers or backwoodsmen, who
give such free rein to their fancies
and superstitions. Not TO Romanes or
Jesse or Michelet must we go for the
truth about animals. but to the pa
tent, honest Darwin, to such calm,
keen and philosophical investigators as
Lloyd Morgan, and to the book of such
sportsmcn as Charles St John, or to
our own candid, intelligent and wide
awake Theodore Roosevelt-men capa-
ble of disinterested observation. with
no theories about animals to uphold

The Presidents Letter.

Speaking roughly. third of the let
ter is IA defense of the President by
himself. third is a defense of the
protective tariff and the remainder
defenses of the policy of the party
toward the Philippines and the army.
In his personal defense the Presi-
dent does not seek to be accused of
greatness, but confcsses it. With re-
markable mOdesty he says: NO other
administration i'm our history, no
other government in the world, has
more consistently stood for the broad
est spirit of brotherhood in our COM
mon humanity. or has held more
resolute attitude of protest against
every wrong that outraged the civiliza-
ton of the age. ut home or abroad -
In another place he speaks of the
settlement of the anthracite coal
strike ''by the individual act of the
President" showing that he does not
desire his greatness TO he forgotten.
The only issue the President makes
with the party opposing him is that it
is insincere. and that if it should
come into power calamity would come
upon the country.
He shows the Importance that he
places upon himself as an issue by
putting his personal defense first in
the letter-Chicago Examiner.

CHANGE FOOD

Some Very Fine Results Follow.
The wrong kind of food will put the

Frustrated and could hardly ever get

My stomach, back and head would
throb so 1 could get no rest at night
except by fits and starts, and always
had distressing pains.
Il was quite certain the trouble
came from my stomach, but two physi-
clans could not help me and all the
tonics failed, and so finally l turned to
food.

learned what might be expected from

sleep soundly nowadays, and am free
from the bad dreams. Indeed this
food has made such great change in
me that my wife and daughter have
taken it up and we are never without
Grape-Nuts on our table nowadays.
1t is a wonderful sustainer. and We
frequently have nothing else at all but
a saucer of Grape-Nuts and cream for
breakfast or supper" Name given by

Good food and good rest. These are
the tonics that succeed where all the

$4,000 has been expended. The mon
ey spent was used by Attorney Gen
eral Knox in having some other law
yers of his own kidney, who are no.
tOriously not trust busters, to fight the
trusts. OF course. under these circum-
stances. no trust has been disturbed
since the appropriation was made. Mr..
Knox just before the corporations Of
Pennsylvania elected him for United
States Senator of that State, stated
there was no intention by the admin
istration of running amuck" against
the trusts. Attorney General Moody,
who succeeded Knox, seems to be run

are more oppressive than before Con-
gress appropriated the money to fight
them. 1t may he said that President
Roosevelt complacently approves this
do-nothing policy.
