Singles by Owen and Green and an

TIMELY CALLING,
How the Pastor Saved a Life.

A man near Fort Gay. w. Va, made
an entire failure in gaining strength
from the kind of food he ate and not
knowing that the trouble was with the
food kept on losing health until the
doctors gave him up to die.
1t was supposed 10 be consumption
because he was wasting away steadily
and slowly dying. His minister called
from time to time and one day brought
along n package of Grape Nuts think
ing from what he knew of the famous
food that perhaps it might help him.
The sick man took to it at once and
from that day began to get we'll. In
writing he says:
Il walked to town today, three miles.
Have gained over 30 pounds in about
two months and my neighbors don'..
know what to say. I frequently am
told it was as if am raised from the
dead. Everybody here knows of nv

THE CANAL COMMISSION
Will Be Made Up Of the Best Men to
Be Found.

Washington, Feb. 23.-President
Roosevelt is experiencing some diff
Guilty in securing the services of men
of suitability and prominence as to
warrant him in appointing them men,
bers of the isthmian canal commission.
An instance of this is the declination
of John CARRIER of San Francisco of
the proffer made to him by the Presi-
dent. Mr.. CARRIER is mining lawyer
of established reputation and could not
afford to sacrifice his practice. SINH
lar difficulty is being encountered in
the case of Alfred Noble of the Penn
sylvania Railroad.
Under the Srooner act the President
has authority to fix the compensation
of the canal commissioners until Con-
gress shall determine the salaries. The
compensation of engineers and other
employees on the canal will be fixed by
the commission itself. AS Mr.. CARRIER
has declined appointment it is expected
that the President will select some
other man who resides in one of the
Pacific coast states.
1t is understood to be likely that the
Southern member of the commission
will be NJ. b. Herrod of New Orleans,
one of the engineers on the Mississippi
river commission.
1t was the hope of President Roose-
welt that he would be able to send to
Congress his appointments to the COM
mission Immediately after the ratifi-
cation of the treaty with Panama. but
the probability now is that the ap-
pointments may be delayed a few days.
