Despite the fact that the census re-

ing toward vegetarianism, we are still
the greatest meat eaters in the world.

the aggregate we Americans pay every

about $50 year (for the raw food for

among the meat foods the egg bill CAB

BERLIN NOW THIRD CITY.
From Mere Village of Century Ago
German Capital Has Nearly
100000 People.

Berlin, a mere village a century ago,
is the third city in Europe, in point of
population, and its growth since 1870
has been phenomenal. Yet the tech
nical barriers which enclose the city
remain precisely what they were more
than 40 years ago, and Berlin is still as
it was in 1861, compressed within %
square miles. At the close.of the Franco
Prussian war, Berlin, now the capital
of a new empire, became a paradise.
Streets O. houses appeared almost as if
by magic, and the whole aspect of the
city became changed. From being the
worst lighted, worst drained and ugli-
est capital in Europe, it became one of
the finest, cleanest and handsomest of
cities, and its population has more than
doubled Berlin now boasts within it's
boundaries ,S57, 000inhabitants. Greater
Berlin might have a population of
2,430, 900, with an area at least treble,
extending, indeed, as far as Potsdam.
Berlin's actual increase from 1900 TO
1900 was SIS per cent, multiplying its
population by nine.

SAFEST FOOD
In Any Time of Trouble Is Grape-Nuts

In Any Time of Trouble Is Grape-Nuts
Food to rebuild the strength and
that is pre- digested must be selected
when one is convalescent. At this
time there is nothing so valuable as
4rape-Nuts for the reason that this
food is all nourishment and is also all
digestible nourlshment A woman
who used it says:
Some time ago I was very i'll with
typhoid fever, so i'll everyone thought
l would die, even myself. 1t left me
so weak l could not properly digest
food of any kind and l also had much
bowel trouble which left me a weak,
helpless wreck.
II needed nourishment as badly as
anyone could, but none of the tonicS
helped me until finally tried Grape
Nuts food morning and evening. This
not only supplied food that l thought
delicious as could be but it also made
me perfectly well and strong again so
can do all my housework, sleep well,
can eat anything without any trace of
bowel trouble and for that reason
alone Grape-Nuts food is worth its
weight in gold" Name given by
Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich.
Typhoid fever like some other dis
eases attacks the bowels and frequent
ly sets up bleeding and makes them
for months incapable of digesting the
starches and therefore pre- digested
Grape-Nuts is invaluable for the we'll
known reason that in Grape-Nuts all
the starches have been transformed
into grape sugar. This means that the
first stage of digestion has been me-
chanically accomplished in Grape-Nuts
food at the factories and therefore
anyone, no matter how weak the stom-
ach, can handle it and grow strong,
for all the nourishment is still there.
There's a sound reason ara 10 days
trial proves.

CATASTROPHE.
Breaking Up of Mississippi Steam
boat That Gave the Passen-
gers a Good Time.

After the terrible steamship and rail
way accidents which made the past sea-
son memorable, it is pleasant to read
of an affair so delightful for it's victims
as the recent sinking of the Mississippi
river steamer Chalmette proved to be.
The Chalmette was the last of the old
time cotton packets on the Mississippi.
There are many big stern-wheel cotton
carriers and several side-wheel pas
senger boats, but the Chalmette was a
relic of the old st. Louis-New Orleans
trade She was the City of Vicksburg
of the Anchor line, but was rebuilt some
years ago to carry cotton to the port
of Chalmette, below New Orleans. She
could stow $500 bales on her spacious
deck, and with her guards awash and
the cotton stacked high above her cabin
deck, was a spectacle once common,
henceforth to be unknown, on the river.
When the Louisiana Purchase exposi-
ton opened she was put on as through
boat from New Orleans to the fair, and
thus opened trade which had been
dead for some years.
On a Saturday in July she started
north with about 40 passengers and lot
of freight. Late Tuesday afternoon she
was within 35 miles of Natchez, when
in backing out from a landing, she
struck snag and knocked a hole in the
stern. She swung round with both
ends resting on the bank in a little
eddy, but with 70 feet of water under
L. r chi Yc nd 70
The passengers were quickly notified,
the gang-plank was run ashore, and
everybody walked out and found seat
on the gently sloping, grassy levee, to
watch the spectacular death of the last
of the packets The crew hastily
brought the passengers baggage ashore,
then brought the furnaces from the gal
ley and all the provisions from the pan
try, and the tables from the saloon.
In half an hour the steamer broke in
two and sank. Then as darkness set
tied on the river the passengers on the
levee began picnic supper, prepared
by the darby cooks over the rescued
furnaces. There was no lack OF sup
plies; the evening was gloriously cool
and still. A more beautiful location for
a picnic could hardly have been selected.
A skiff had been sent up to Natchez for
help, and until another steamer came TO
get them the girls of the party, grouped
on the levee, sang the old songs, and lis
tened in turn to the roustabouts and the
cookroom darkies singing-not the old
plantation melodies, for few of the river
hands know them, but the modern "rag.
time" songs which come south to then
from the vaudeville stage. 'Under the
Bamboo Tree" and all the rest of them
made the night melodious, and at last
when the picnic was beginning to pail
the rescuing steamer came and took all
on board for Natchez whence they weht
on their way by rail to their destina.

hrs. De Long Finds that the IndescribabIe
Pains of rheumatism Can be Cured
Through the Blood.

Mrs. De Long FINDS That the IndescribaDIe
Pains of rheumatism Can be Cured
Through the Blood.
Mrs. e. NJ. De Long, of No. 100 West
Broadway, Council Bluffs, Iowa, found
herself suddenly attacked 0y rheuma-
tism in the winter Of 1896. She gave
the doctor chance to help her, which
he failed to improve, and then she did
some thinking and experimenting of her
own. She was so successful that she
deems it her duty to tell the story of her
escape from suffering:
"My brother-in-law," she says" was
enthusiastic on the subject of DR.. VIII
liams' Pink Pills as purifier Of the
blood, and when was suffering extreme
pains in the joints Of my ankles, knees,
hips, wrists and elbows, and the doctor
was giving me no relief, began to re-
fleet that rheumatism is a disease of
the blood and that, if DR.. Williams Pink
Pills are SO good for the blood, they
must be good for rheumatism and worth
q trial.
81 was in bed half the time, suffering
with pain that cannot be described to
one who has never had the disease. Tt
would concentrate sometimes IN one set
of joints. When it was in my feet I
could not walk, when it was in my ell
bows and wrists I could not even draw
the coverlets over my body. / had suf'
fered in this way for weeks before be-
gan using DR.. Williams Pink Pills.
Two weeks after began with them /
experienced relief and after had taken
six boxes was entirely well. To make
sure I continued to use them about two
weeks longer and then stopped alto
gether. For several years I have had no
reason to use them for myself, but I
have recommended them to others as an
excellent remedy"
DR.. Williams Pink Pills furnish the
blood with all the elements that are
needed to build up healthy tissue, strong
muscles and nerves, capable of bearing
the strain that nature puts upon them.
They really make new blood and cure
all diseases arising from disorders of the
blood or nerves, such as sciatica, neural
gia, partial paralysis, locomotor ataxia,
St. Vitus' dance, nervous prOstratiOn,
nn9emia and all forms of weakness in
either male or female. They are sold by
all druggists.
