GREAT CHANGE
From Chang in Food.


The brain depends much more on
the stomach than we are apt to sup
pose until we take thought in the
matter. Feed the stomach on proper
food easy to digest and containing the
proper amount of phosphates, and the
healthy brain will respond to all de-
nands A notable housewife in Buff
falo writes:
THE doctor diagnosed my trouble
as nervous affection of the stomach
I was actually so nervous that could
not sit still for five minutes to read
the newspaper, and to attend to my
household duties was simply impossi-
ble I doctored all the time with rem
edies, but medicine did no good.
"My physician put me on all sorts
Of diet, and I tried many kinds Of
cereal foods, but none Of them agreed
with me. I was almost discoura ged
and when 1 tried Grape-Nuts 1 did so
with many misgivings-I had no faith
that it would succeed where every
thing else had failed.
But it did succeed, and you don't

gained in weight, and I don't have
that terrible burning sensation in my
stomach any more. l feel so strong
again that I am surprised at myself.
The street noises that used to irritate

Greek, Mich.
There's a reason.
Now why was this great change
made in this woman?
The stomach and the brain had not
been supplied with the right kind of
food to rebuild and strengthen the
nerve centers in these organs. 1t is
absolute folly to try to do this with
medicine. There is but one sure way,
and that is to quit the old food that
has failed and take on GrapeNuts
food which is more than half digested
in the process Of manufacture and IS
rich in the phosphate Of potash con-
tanned in the natural grain, which
unites with albumen and water-the
only three substances that will make
up the soft gray filing in the thou
sands of delicate nerve centers in the
brain and body. Grape-Nuts food is
a sure road back TO heath In all such
cases.

people among whom he lived. He did
not always choose the winning or popu-
lar side. but fearlessly pursued what he
believed to be right. Thus, while his
journal has never been an organ, it has
been read in more Wisconsin homes than
any single publication in the last twenty
i've years. 1t has been his just boast
that in the fifty years of his editorial
work not a single line has been paid
for in money, or inserted in the hope OF
pecuniary or other reward.
Presidential Elector for Grant.
Mr.. Cramer was peculiarly an observ-
err and until the failure of his sight few
travellers saw as much both of the use
full and artistic works of man. In his
personal life his habits were simple. He
always had kind word and a helping
hand for the poor and dependent, but the
rich he uniformly left to take care of
themselves. Careful and prudent in
small things, when occasion came to meet
his approval he was more than generous
he was prodigal He was of a relig
lous cast of mind, an unquestioning be-
mother. and daily reader of the Cos
pels. He never discussed the abstrac-
tons Of later science. The good old way
was good enough for him, but he was
tolerant of the opinions of others. His
mental characteristics were of high
OIueE. Ills memory OF events was so
remarkable that it was proverb Of his
editorial room that no encyclopedias or
gazetteers would be needed there while
he lived. AS a citizen he was unobtru-
sive, his infrmities of sight and hearing
preventing his mingling in public meet
lngs, but his person was known to every
citizen of Milwaukee and loved in thou
sands of homes.
In the course of his long life the only
office he ever held, and which he regard
ed as an honor, was that in the presiden-
tial election of 1872, when his name
headed the electoral ticket which gave
the vote of Wisconsin to Gen. Ulysses
S. Grant. The people, however, honored
and loved him, and his standing in the
community is shown by the fact that on
the 18th day of July, 1894, a fine marble
bust of him, together with one of
Senator Matt II. Carpenter, was pre-
sented to the State Historical society of
Wisconsin, which gladly accepted them;
while speeches were made by various
prominent citizens, who paid tributes to
the public services of the originals of the
marble likeneSses.

a story full Of hardships is told by Mrs.
James White, who came here in search

My son grew to manhood and married
He moved to Omaha, Neb., and was
there engaged as an electrician. A child
was born to them there. Two years
ago my sons wife died in a hospital i'll
Omaha from blood poison. Three months
later my son died from the effects of an
electric shock.
''This left the child an orphan and the
grandparents on the mothers side took
the child to live with them in a small
town near Council Bluffs and received
the appointment by the court as guard
ians of the child. Within a short time
the child was kicked by a horse and
died after two weeks from the effects of
the injury. Thus within six months
was the entire family taken away"

A property was left amounting to
$4,000 and Mrs. White is here to obtain

An Easy Test.

Senator w. Murray Crane, at
Thanksgiving celebration in Dalton,
talked about turkeys.
From November on through the win
ter season." he said, ''it is important to
know how to tell a good turkey from
bad one-a young and tender from an
old and tough bird.
"A farmer once examined his chore
boy in this grave matter.

fallibly young from an old turkey?'
Yes, indeed, l can, sir Roger an

assistance. Partly to her faithful and
loving service in this direction, and part
ly to his marvellous skill in questioning
people into whose company he was
thrown, was due his reputation Of being
able to find out more, on short acqualnt-
ances, concerning any place or man or
event than could be gathered by most
people who are in possession of all of
their senses. In 1884 he revisited Eu-
rope in tour through Ireland, England,
Holland, Denmark, Norway, Sweden,
Finland, Russia, Poland, Austria, Baden
and France.
The Editor at Work.
To the time of his last illness Mr..
Cramer still wrote for the paper every
day, and his interest and influence eX-
tended to every detail of the great jour
nails management. From the youngest
reporter to the managing editor, all his
employees felt that their work was the
object of his immediate observation, and
all had the benefit of his experienced
suggestions. His work in his special de-
partment was notable for consistency,
lucidity, accuracy and force. 1t was the
main object of his life to build up in
Milwaukee a newspaper and printing
office which would reflect credit upon
the commonwealth of his adoption. Aft
er severe trials and long delays there
was reared, on the corner Oh MlIWauke@
and Michigan streets, structure which
has become, in all it's departments. one
of the completest and most perfect print
ing esta bliShments in the land Having
no children. Mr.. Cramer had a special
pride in and love for his work.
In the conduct of his journal Mr.. Cra-
mer has been utterly incorruptible. I'm
der his direction The Evening Wisconsin
has not been the organ of any party or
man, but has followed the lines he con-
ceived to be for the best interests of the

Emma Emma Wischnesky is employed by

from the dump heaps. When she came
across bundle of letters taken from
the ash heaps at Peoples Park she
picked out one with a surname similar

vince her that it was written by her
brother, whom she believed to be dead
and that he was living in Lodi five

was in the German army. AS she heard
nothing from him, she decided she was
the only member of the family living.

the letter and found her brother alive
and well. The brother said he had been
injured in the service, and that, after
being in the hospital short time, he
took French leave" and came to this
country. He had written TO his sister,
but, as he never received a reply, he
supposed she was dead Wischnesky
also explained that he had written to q
friend in Paterson, but how his letter
got into the ash heap he could not tell.
