How Physicians Can Cure Even Bright
Disease by Use of Right Food.

A Manitoba trip taught two Michigan
women something valuable through wise
physician of Brandon. One of them says:
Il had been so troubled for years with
my stomach that l could not eat meat
ana fruit on the same day and suffered
il ate anything more than a little stale
bread and butter and was so thin people
thought was going to die.
Il had often seen Grape-Nuts adver-
tised but had never tried the food until
last August my sister went out to Mani
tcba to visit another sister and learned
that our sisters little boy who is years
Of age had taken Bright's Disease of the
kidneys and their family physician gave
them no hopes of his recovery.
His Parents then took him to Bran
don, 90 miles distant, and the physician
there told them he would undertake to
cure him if no food but Grape-Nuts were
given him as no other food would agree
with his medicine or help to overcome the
disease.
The child has lived entirely on Grape
Nuts for one year and half and is en-
tirely well, a strong, sturdy boy. The
visiting sister was IN poor health when
she went out to Manitoba but the Grape
back home we'll and strong and when
she came home she told me about them
and / got some.
Il learned that could not only digest
the Grape-Nuts perfectly but if l took a
spoonful of GrapeNuts in my stomach 1
could take a mouthful of potatoes and
meat along with it and everything the
Grape Nuts mixed with In that way l
could digest but not otherwise, and the
result was was soon like girl OF 20
years instead of an old woman. My face

there is in healthful living.

A DROP IN PRICES
Cotton Market Gets Close
Back to Fourteen Cent
Mark.

The cotton figures at the close of the
day yesterday were not so fat as they
had been as the day began.
For again yesterday cotton had sink
ing spell. 1t was not "a very bad spell,
and the patient did not have very Sc
we're relapse, but still there was re-
lapse.
The drop in prices at the figures given
in the quotations shows but a small
change, as the figures for the day ranged
from IA to IA IL cents pound. fourteen
bales being sold here yesterday at prices
between these figures, and four bales
eachng the top fgues of IA IL cents.
The drop came tn latter part of the
day, and il cents is a fair figure to give
as the average price that would have
prevailed at the start. The New York
figures for spot were 1410.
The market is a shifty market. now
veerlng this way now that, but at pres
ept II cents seems to be the magnetic
force. Ar advance or Il decline, either
one or the other, is not surprising at the
present stage Of the game, for there seems
to be no concerted efforts on the part
of the bull faction to advance the price
or the bears to drive ii down. The
changes are of the sporadic variety.
Yet back of all this there is felt that
the cotton crop is proving that it is O
short crop every day now, ana on this
fact the holders of spot cotton, who are
demanding more than the market is Civ
ing, base their hopes of an advance.
''Our cotton will be needed and the price
is certain to go on up" is the sum ard
substance of the hope that is within th2m,
and that which makes them store cotton
for an advance.
"a curious thing l saw today. as /
came in on the Southern" said q gentle
man returning to Raleigh Yesterday. at
is the twenty-fifth OF February, and near
Raleigh ] saw some hands in field
picking cotton. 1t was scarce, and the
Heecy stuff was widely apart, nut still
it was being picked, and | concluded that
fourteen cents was a petty good figure
for cotton"
The decrease in the daily receipts on
this market have been considerable with
in the last few weeks A short time ago
he receipts of last year and this year
were neck and neck. A year ago yestcr-
day 66 bales were sold at prices about
10 cents a pound, against fourteen bales
yesterday, the largest receipts in many
days. To date the receipts this year are
500 bales behind those Of last year.

ADVANTAGES OF THE UNION.
The affairs of the american Cot
ton Growers Union" are under the
control and management of the cot
ton growers who own it's stock. The
advantages accruing to the stock
holders are, they establish a stand
ard price for the incoming crop of
cotton, year by year, which cannot
be changed except by their own act,
and a uniformity of price the year
round may be preserved by the stock
holders selling their cotton to the
UnlOn-their cooperation through
the Union enabling it to buy cotton
in, immense quantities, approximate
ing the whole of a years crop-and
by storing the cotton, according to
grades and classifications. in suitable
sheds or warehouses, the Union can
supply spinners and manufacturers |
at the standard price, according to |
their demands. Further benefits to
the cotton growers who invest in it's
stock Are they get the money for
the cotton they sell to the Union at
the prevailing prices, and in addition
thereto, they receive dividends on
their stock amounting to the differ
ence between the price at which they
sell to the Union, and the price the
obtains from the manufacture
ers, subject only to a deduction of
two dollars per share for expenses.
The quantity of cotton required
by spinners and manufacturers of
throughout the world is prac-
5ically the same every month in the
year, but marketing the crop daily
md rapidly in large quantities, ex-
'eeding current demands. carries
prices down. a condition that specu-
ators are quick to perceive and
axe advantage of, and when the
major part of the crop has passed
rom the hands of the cotton grow
RS, prices advance. It is a province
the Union to arrest and finally
ton this anomalous state of things.
This subject will be further con-
idered (and ~conc1uded) in next
weeks number of The Progressive
Farmer.
