IMPERIALISM,S COST.

June 30 and revealed the fact that
his income has been $25, 900, 900
less than his expenditures, says
the Omaha World Herald, This
deficit is larger than the sanguine
secretary Shaw has expected. 1t is
not due to the falling off of reve.
nues, because they were larger by
- 100000 than in the previous
year. The cause was extravaganza,
expenditures having reached $685.
600, 900 for a year. These expend-
lures are double what they were a
generation ago, and millions Of the
amount come under the head of
Imperialism, waste and extrava-
gance. More than 5000, 900. 900 of
the great ANIMAL expenditure is for
an army and navy in times of pro-
found peace. People are slow TO

ed here from GAINESVILLE, Ga, en-

will address the Chautauqua. In-
terviewed, he said: "Present APP
pearances indicate that all the Dem
ocrats have to do is to stand still
and see the salvation of the Lord.
The Republican administration is
confronted with a large and con-
stantly growing deficit in the rev.
enues. There are only three
ways to stop the deficiency known
among men: First, to economic,
second, to raise more revenue;
third, to borrow money by new
issue of interest bearing bonds.
"The Republicans can not ecOnO-
mize. Theirs is the best disciplin-
ed party the world ever ssw-the
most perfect political machine ever
devised by wit of man. Individual
t h gu G h t and action a r e
reduced to the minimum. Bossism
is at the maximum"
Concerning tariff reform he
said, 0That there is a strong but
not a majority sentiment among
Republicans in favOr.of revising the
tariff is plain. But that the stand
patters, who control the Republican
machine, do not propose to permit
revision is equally clear"

Notes by ]. N. Cross.

There are frequent complaints
that teachers secure certificates too
easily. The plan of certifcation
aud general restrictions is not 'such
as will provide excellent teachers
for all our schools, but what are
we to dot It is impossible to Sc
cure teachers with that knowledge
and training necessary to the best
success in the school room, at
wages now paid. Other vocations
that call for far less preparation
offer greater inducements and our
bright young men and women are
forsaking a calling in which they
might become shining lights to en-
gage in more lucrative work. The
country schools cannot expect nor
NAL trained teachers. The day
seems to have passed when talent
ed young men and women look for
ward to life work in the profess
sion of teaching. The teachers
must be selected from the ranks of
high school graduates who expect
to teach a few terms as a stepping
stone to something better. This
is serious condition and ought to
be met in a practical way. The
young teachers are not to blame.
Anybody can see the only remedy.
Those earnestly engaging in the
work must have better wages to
hold them.

unimtcrestiug. There is no sub
ject which yields so quickly to the
master touch, springs into such
real life, and is fraught with such
immense possibilities. History fur

its fur and several days before this

GREAT CHANGE
From Change in Food.

The brain depends much more or
the stomach than we are apt to sup
pose until we take thought in the mat
ter. 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-
mands. A notable housewife in Buff
falo writes:
THE doctor diagnosed my trouble
as a nervous affection Of the stom-
ach.' 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
impossible. doctored all the time
with remedies, but medicine did no
good.
my physician put me on all sorts
Of diet, and | tried many kinds OF
cereal foods, but none Of them agreed
with me. | was almost discouraged,
and when tried Grape-Nuts did so
with many misgivings-i had no faith
that 1t would succeed where every
thing else had failed.
But It did succeed. and you don't
know how glad am that ! tried It.
/ feel like a new person. have gain
ed in weight and I don't have that
terrible burning sensation in my stom-
ach any more. l feel so strong
again that / am surprised at myself
The street noises that used to irritate
me so, never notice now, and my
mind is SO clear that my household
duties arc a real pleasure"
Name given by Postum Co., Battle
Creek, 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. It 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 Grape-Nuts
food which is more than half dlgested
IN the process of manufacture and Is
rich in the phosphate Of potash con-
talned 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 oil delicate nerve centres in ths
brain and body. Grape-Nuts food Is a
sure road back to health In all such
cases.
