GREAT CHANGE
From Change In Food.

The brain depends much more on the
stomach than we are apt to suppose I'M
til 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 demands. A
notable housewife in Buffalo writes:
1.-THE doctor diagnosed my trouble as
a nervous affection of the stomach L
was actually so nervous that | could
not sit still for five minutes to read the
newspaper, and to attend to my house
hold duties was simply Impossible.
doctored oil the time with remedies,
but medicine did no good.
my physician put me Oh all sorts OF

foods. but none of them agreed with
me. was almost discouraged, and
when tried Grape Nuts did so with
many mlsgivings-I had no faith that it
would succeed where everything else
had failed.
but it did succeed, and you don't
know how glad am that tried 1t.

weight and don't have that terrible
burning sensation IL my stomach any
more. | feel so strong again that am
surprised at myself. The street noises
that used to irritate me so, l never

that my household duties are real
pleasure"
Name given by Postum Co., Battle
Creek. Mich.
There's n 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 centres in these organs. 1t is alb
solute 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 digested III the
process of manufacture and Is rich IN
the phosphate of potash contained IN
the natural grain, which unites with
albumen and water-the only three
Substances that will make up the SOFT
rray filling in the thousands Of delicate
nerve centres in the brain and body.
Grape Nuts food is a sure road back 10
health in all such cases.

erea. Bank soueezes Pennies.

The Worlds Work, in a recent is
sue, shows how carefully the First
National bank of Chicago looks to its
postage account. Stamped postal
cards are not used, and not one OF
the thousands of routine letters that
are written every day is stamped and
sealed until the whole routine mail
of the day Is assembled In the after
noon. Then all the cards and letters
to one correspondent are put in sim
gle envelope, and-except for letters
from the officers and the like-the
bank comes as near as possible to get
ting its entire mail carried at 2 cents
an ounce, or cent for every postal
card, instead of often paying 2 cents
for a quarter Of an ounce, as it would
have to do If every communication
were sealed and stamped separately.
This little matter Of getting full value
out of a cent stamp makes a saving
of S25 to $50 day."

COMMERCIAL REVIEW.

R. G. Dun & Co.'S Weekly Review
of Trade" says: Unsettled weather still
retards retail trade, and uneven distri-
button of moisture prevents crop pros
poets from maintaining an ideal position,
but the general result is better than
normal and far more satisfactory than
at this time in 1904.
Mercantile payments are fairly prompt,
money is easy and abundant, while con-
hdence in the future is the ruling senti-
ment. The decline in Wall Street to the
lowest average for the sixty most active
railway securities since last January has
had no perceptible influence on business,
and railway earnings continue to make
favorable comparisons with last years
figures, the early returns for April show
ing gain Of 81 per cent.
Manufacturing activity is undated,
the leading industries reporting a mini
mum percentage of idle machinery, and
pig iron production is expected to estab-
llsh new record of over 100000 tons
for the current month.
Real estate transfers are very heavy
in all parts of the country, and in addi-
ton to the large amount of building OPP
erations in progress the number of new
permimts indicate that much more struc-
tural work is contemplated. Little in
terruption from labor controversies is
still cause for qualification.
There is still great pressure for quick
delivery of structural steel for bridges,
buildings and cars, while practically alt
forms of railway equipment are in larger
demand than supply.

Caused One Unfortunate.
Imagine the case Of a person who
at different periods of his life was
obliged to learn to spell all over
again." said the professor. 81 knew OF
such a man, not originally a poor
speller, who was compelled thrice TO
take up the study of photography. IL
happened in this way:
"This friend of mine was reared IN
the country, attended the school,
and acquired therein the necessary
proficiency under the rules Of the old
time teacher. AS matter of fact ne
learned to spell while standing. 1t
was a curious fact that for many
years that man could not spell some
Of the simplest words unless he stood
up On his feet, he was the best
speller in the class, and acquired
many a prize IL the spelling bees
There was not pupil in those days
who could turn him down. when II
came to an exercise in upright ortho
graphy.
Then, years afterward, he had to
learn to spell with pencil. All his
spelling talent went into his pencil.
His tongue had lost its cunning, and
whether standing or sitting he would
miss the easiest words, unless he used
his pencil.
Finally, with the advent of the
typewriter, he was obliged again to
learn how to spell, this time with the
machine. Queer thing, isn't it? I'm
less the word is simple one, my
friends tongue refuses its aid, his
pencil declines to afford its old-time
help, and he is compelled to refer to
the writing machine. And yet he's
good speller.-The Sunday Magazine.
