Perhaps the Ames Plow Company

Political POtpourri.

There is no doubt that the beef trust
has the best of us for a while, for, al
though the agents of the government
have been Investigating it for some
time, the only result is a check in five
figures to the Republican campaign

Gen. Grosvenor is working up the
figures to prove that the Democrats
are responsible for the beef trust axac-
tons and the strike. He will also in
his first speech prove the administra-
tons record for economy by showing
that only $4,000 Of the $4,000 Con-
gress appropriated to fight the trusts
has been expended.
What has Fairbanks ever done or
said that has been Of any use to the
country, and why, therefore, should
the voters elect him to the second high
est Office in the land, and in case of
the demise Of the President to succeed
to that office? He may be sane and

the growth of the country demands it.
But the cost per capita should not in

CHANGE FOOD
Some Very Fine Results Follow.

Some Very Fine Results Follow.
The wrong kind of food will put the
body in such a diseased condition
that no medicines will cure it. There
is no way but to change food. A man
in Missouri says:
For two years 1 was troubled so
with my nerves that sometimes l WAS
Frustrated and could hardly ever get
in full month at my work.
My stomach, back and head would
throb so l 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.
when 1 had studied UP on food and
learned what might be expected from
leaving off meat and the regular food
1 had been living on, felt that d
change to Grape-Nuts would be just
what was required, so l went to eat
ing it.
From the start I got stronger and
better until 1 was we'll again, and
from that time l haven't used a bit
of medicine for l haven't needed any.
Il am so much better in every way,
sleep soundly nowadays, and am free
from the bad dreams. Indeed this
food has made such a 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 wonderful sustainer, and We
frequently have nothing else at all but
saucer of Grape-Nuts and cream for
breakfast or supper" Name given by
Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich.
Good food and good rest. These are
the tonics that succeed where all the
bottled tonics and drugs fail. Ten
days trial of Grape-Nuts will show
one the road to health, strength and
vigor. There's a reason"

those whom he loved less prosperous
or less strong or happy. SO it was
with Miss Graham. The week" was
only a week for her, and it was a full
one There were relatives to visit, old
friendships to be renewed, and din

Julia Graham did that endeared her
to some old friends was the looking
up Of those whom she had known in
other days who were unable, or timid-
ly disinclined, to look her up. The
letter was from one of these. Julia
had learned that this old friend lived
in another town, and was bedridden.

Ho,x Plants Rernain Upright.

If a flower pot is laid on its side the
stalk Of the plant growing in it grad
ually curves upward until it resumes
the vertical position. This is called
geotropic curvature, and the question
is by what means the plant is stiInu-
lated to change its direction of growth
One theory AYERS that movable starch
grains in the plant cells fall to the
lower side as the position is changed,
and by their pressure influence the
mechanism Of growth Recently
Francis Darwin, in England, has sue
ceeded in accelerating the tendency or
q plant to curve upward when placed
horizontally by subjecting it to the
vibrations of a tuning fork. He thinks
the shock of the vibrations affects the
movements of the starch grains.
