HOW FOOD WORKS
a Sure Way Out OF Bowel Troubles.

SO called septic appendicitis will
often hang on for years This is caused
by white bread potatoes and other forms
OF starchy food that the individual does
not properly digest. and II is useless to
attempt to make permanent change by
any form Of drug, for all drugs wear
out and I'm time refuse 10 benefit where
the cause NJ the disturbance is not re-
moved
Septic appendicitis rs general term
Sor diseased condition OF the bowels
caused from undigested starch. and, as
stated above, Il may go on for years; vet
people must have starchy food.
IL Is a we'll established fact among ply
sicians and individuals who have made
the experiment that when bowel disturb
ances are shown. a change IN food must
be made. and that the famous predigested
food--Grape- Nuts--is the most perfect
remedy. for IL contains no medicine Of
any sort. but II is made up Of tho selected
parts OF wheat and barley i'm which the
starchy part has been changed into the
form ~ sugar that is found in tho hura n
intestines after the starchy part Of the
food has been perfectly digested
When Grape Nuts food i- used in place
of bread or any OF the other forms Of
starch. the body Is supplied with the
necessary elements already Ia the form OF
this sugar (known a. Post sugar) and
is therefore ready for immediate assimi-
lation, for the first act OF digestion has
taken place outside OF the body and dur
ing the process Of manufacture.
Absolute certainty Of results can be
depended upon and the disease relieved by
this method.

GREAT REVIVAL YEAR,

Oskaloosa Herald.-Reports from all
parts of the country. but especially
from the middle west and the Pacific
coast, indicate the prevalence Of larger
revival interest than for several years.
There is in no quarter the fervid re-
ligious interest that obtained years ago
in the REVEALS or that obtains now in
Wales and throughout England.
Baptists and Presbyterians are most
active, in organized efforts at least,
but they are closely followed by the
Universalits. However, distinctive
feature Of this winters revivals is the
dropping of UNCONVENTIONAL names and
the cooperation of Christians of al
most all titles. Baptists will make
evangelism the feature of their ami
versaries this year and are now con-
sidering the engaging of an official
evangelist Some conventions of Bap-
fists are employing evangelists and
report the most marked progress in
the states of Connecticut, Nebraska
wisconsin, Colorado, Washington and
California.
The Universalist newspaper devotes
an entire issue to the message of its
superintendent on the theme of a re-
vival. Presbyterians announce thai
results are attained in a different man.
that the campaign will be continued
with stronger resources than hereto
fore.
The slowest progress is making ir
the large cities Of the east, none Of
which have as yet been profoundly
stirred. In England the interest in.
creases. Recently the mayor Of Liv-
! erpool gave an official reception to thu
Rev. DR.. Torrey and to Mr.. Alexander

discussed both among the officials In
Washington and among the clerks
themselves. e. L. West, superintend,
ent of the sixth district, which in.
cludes Iowa, has announced himself in
favor of the plan in general although
he has no special scheme which ap.
pears absolutely practicable. In an
interview recently he mentioned plan
proposed by a Boston man, telling OF
it as follows:
II would not cost the government
anything and would have substitutes
in training for permanent positions
Say postal clerk Is receiving $1,000
when old age or poor health disquali'
fies him for further service, or per
haps leaves him still able to work but
not equal to q young man in efficiency
Let him put on substitute who draws
half his pay. The substitute would
earn $500 a year while learning the
business, the retired clerk would have
$500 a year to live on. and the service
would have the advantage Of having q
new clerk in training for the time
when a vacancy occurs on the regular
force and he would receive perma
nent appointment. Another sub would
then step into the place vacated and
thus the work would go on all right
the government would not be out any
money and the faithful old cleri
would have something to live on aftel
retiring from the service.
In case this plan could be proven
practicable one there is little doub1
| that official approval could be secured
It would, as Mr.. West says, be almos
no extra expense to the government
and would afford men who are faithful
| in the service some recompense TO
their years of hard work in handling
the country's mail.

Senator Samuel H. Harper, mem.
Der of Cloutman Post, G. A. R., at OF.
tumwa, has been announced by his
comrades, for the position of depart
ment commander of Iowa. Senator
Harper enlisted in the Thirty-sixth
Iowa infantry, August 2, 1862, at the
age of 10 as a private. He served in
that regiment until June s, 1863, when
he was made lieutenant in the Forty.
sixth regular United States infantry.
and later was promoted to be cap.
tain. He was mustered out in Feb
ruary, 1866, having served three years
and seven months, during which time
he was absent from his command only
once, on thirty day furlough. His
father located in Ottumwa in 1858
For a number of years Captain Harper
has been engaged in the hardware
trade He is universally respected
and has the energetic support of all
the old soldiers at Ottumwa. He has
served four years as state senator
and previous to that was presiden
tial elector His comrades put him
forward as candidate feeling that he
is in every way deserving of the
honor. He was brave soldier and as
citizen his record is clean. If he
shall be honored by his comrades, he
will in turn honor them"

HleH.REcoRp PRICES.

New htgh-record prices are being
made almost daily. A strong undertone
pervades the whole market, and first
one speciality is selected and then an
other with which to keep up the ap-
pearance of activity" Thus does
Henry Clews sum up the situation of
the market in New York, which means
the situation of the market through
out the country at large. Mr.. Clews,
whose weekly letter reflect very faith
fully the conditions Of the market, are
seldom so full of optimism as is the
one which has just been issued. In it
the veteran trader mentions especially
the vast amount of money seeking in
vestment at four per cent and the sur
prfsingly rapid sale Of bonds and such
securities. He says on this subject:
A striking feature Of the situation is
the abundance of funds seeking safe
investment on per cent basis. In
1904 over s45000O,0O0 new bonds and
1922, 100000 new railroad stocks were
issued, a total of over 100000, 900
railroad issues. Since January over
$100,OO0O0O additional railroad issues,
chiefly bonds, have been added. A por-
ton of these issues was for refunding
purposes, a part for taking up notes
issued two years ago and a part to pro-
vide for present needs. just how much
to apportion to each class Of needs it
is impossible to determine, but very
considerable portion went to take up
notes and to meet current require
ments, and therefore represented new
fixed capital Even this large output
Of new securities does not seem to
have satisfied the public demand,
which is particularly fortunate for
both the railroads and the bankers
who have. bonds to offer There is
still a good inquiry for bonds in this
market, buyers, however, not always
exercising the discrimination that they
should, and in all probability there
will be further issues, if conditions ia
vor, to provide for maturing obliga-
tions and needs of the railroads. For
tunately, general business continues
satisfactory, while the railroads are
again enjoying a prosperous season
after the losses of the first half of
1904 During December and January
the roads reporting earnings made a
showing eight per cent better than last
year, and in spite Of unfavorable eli
matte conditions the increases con-
tinue. In 1904 the gross earnings on
$4,000 miles of road $50 per cent of
our entire milease) amounted to l.
773,000,O00, an increase of $11,000,000
over the previous year"
The prosperity of railroads is a
good Indication of the prosperity Of the
nation. If the railroads are making
money it is safe to say that the bust
ness conditions are good. It means
that shipping is in progress, that bust
ness is being transacted on large
scale. Mr.. Clews' figures on the in
crease in profits on the part of the
railroads is especially significant when
it is considered that the reports for
1903 showed a heavy increase over
the previous year.

GAME LAW WoLAToR HARD HIT.
Ed Denhart, Farmer Near Jefferson,
Fined $3.50.

Jefferson, Feb. 21.-The largest
fine ever imposed in the state of Iowa
for a violation of the state game and
fish laws was given Ed Denhart, a
wealthy farmer living near here, Sat
urday evening, at the conclusion of a
trial lasting four days. Denhart was
found guilty of violation of the fish
laws on fifty counts and fined $40 on
each count; which with the costs,
which also were taxed up to him,
amounted to 81 $50. Denhart was con-
victed of seining in the Raccoon river
last July, and as this was his second
offense, heavy fine was imposed. The
trial attracted a great deal of atten-
ton, the court room being packed to
suffocation throughout the entire ses-
sion. ----.--.4

IOWA PRESS COMMENT.

The Des Moines Capital cruelty re-
marks: One United States senator
declares that "the house of representa-
tives has made a monkey of ITSELF"
Another usurpation of senatorial pre-
rogatiye, we suppose.

to run down another man who had
been guilty of some crime or other"

hard it is to hide ones tracks"

+ Standard Oil explains that It was
compelled to suspend operations In
Kansas because the state ownership
agitation made 1t impossible for the
company to borrow money to carry on
it's improvements. The Sioux City
Journal says that this Is the funniest

tors evinced disposition to rebuke
the President for giving away the
secrets of the executive session.
The Dubuque Telegraph is not hope
full that the oil producers of Kansas
can develop unity enough among
themselves to beat the Standard Oh
