DEPOgTORS.
A Run on the Chicago Drovers
Trust and Savings Bank.
1t Was Started BY An Unfounded Ru'
NOR That a Packer Representative
Had Withdrawn His Money
All Depositers Paid.

Chicago, Aug. 6.-The strike in the
sight of Friday in the excitement at
tending a run on the Drovers Trust
and Savings bank, one of StockyardS
institutions. The rush of the depOS-
itors to the bank started early Friday
because of an unfOunded rumOr that
one of the packers representatives
had withdrawn his money from the in
stitution and reports that the bank
was being used by the packing COM
panies as an adjunct in paying of
their new employees, who have taken
the places Of the strikers. All day
long hundreds of excited depositors,
most of whom had only small accounts
their deposits. When closing time
came Friday afternoon there were at
least a thousand persons waiting for
their money. The officials of the bank
determined to meet the emergency,
called in extra tellers and the place
was kept open until every depositor
who presented himself at the window
had been satisfied. The paying win
dows of the bank were kept open un-
til after o'clock Friday night. Near
ly two hours before that time the last
man in line had been paid his deposit
in full and fresh arrivals mad ceased
coming.
1t is estimated that upwards of g.
900 depositors called and withdrew
their deposits during the day. When
the run was at it's height, the bank
withdrew 100000 of it's deposit with
the Commercial national bank and a
like amount from the First national
bank in order to prevent any posi-
bility of the bank being unable to
meet it's obligations.
Many of the workmen now on strike
In the packing plants have deposits
in the Drovers Trust and Savings
bank, but the majority of the persons
who gathered about the place Friday
to demand their money were small
tradesmen doing business in the stock
yards district, and working people
who are not and have not been con-
nected in labor capacity with the
packing plants.
The Teamsters' union, the members
Of which are on strike, had $4,000 on
deposit in the bank, but no effort was
made to withdraw this money Friday,
the secretary of the union declaring
that the money will remain where it
is, as the bank is as solid as rock.

OLD FASHIONED.
But Still in the Fashion.

1t is an ever new and interesting
story to hear how one can be entirely
made over by change of food.
For two years l was troubled with
what my physician said was the old
fashioned dyspepsia.
There was nothing 1 could eat but
20 or 80 minutes later I would be spit
ting my food up in quantities until 1
would be very faint and weak. This
went on from day to day until / was
terribly wasted away and without any
prospects of being helped.
"One day / was advised by an old
lady to try Grape-Nuts and cream,
leaving off all fatty food. l had no
confidence that Grape-Nuts would do
all she said for me. as l had tried so
many things without any help. But
it was so simple 1 thought l would
give it trial, she insisted so.
Well, l ate some for breakfast and
pretty soon the lady called to see her
patient as she called me, and asked
if had tried her advice.
""Glad you did, child, do you feer
some better?'
No. 1 said, 4 do not know as I
do, the only difference l can see is I
have no sour stomach, and come to
think of it, / haven't spit up your four
teaspoons of Grape-Nuts yet
Nor did l have any trouble with
Grape-Nuts then or any other time, for
this food always stays down and my
stomach digests it perfectly; l soon
got strong and we'll again and bless
that old lady every time see her.
"Once an invalid of 9S pounds now
weigh 125 pounds and feel strong and
well, and it is due entirely aud only to
having found the proper food in Grape
Nuts" Name given by Postum Co,
