EXCESS OF EXPENDITURES
Overnme Running at n Loss, But

ize Itself.

Washington, July 22.-For the first
20 days of the present month the treas
ury deficit has reached an amount in
excess of one-half the whole deficit for
the last fiscal year. The deficit at tho
close of business July 20 reached $15,-
35S, 235.29. This deficit is shown in the
daily treasury statement under the
item excess of expenditures over re-
ceipts this fiscal year."
Counting out Sundays and legal hol-
idays, 1t would appear that the gov
ernment is operating alta loss of ST.
coo, 900 per day. This, however, does
lot create the interest, and has moth
ing of the sensationalism in it that
might be supposed. Every year, imme-
diately after July 1, there is a rush on
the treasury and o great drain on its
resources. This grows out of the fact
that on the first day of the fiscal year
the appropriations made by the last
congress become available.
The situation will equalize itself be-
fore the close of the year.

HUSBAND.

A woman says:
"My husband had dyspepsia when
we were married and had suffered
from it for several years 1t was al
most impossible to find anything he
could eat without bad results.
81 thought this was largely due to
the use of coffee and persuaded him
to discontinue it. He did SO, and be-
gan to drink Postum Food Coffee. The
change did him good from the begin
ming, his digestion improved; he SUI
fered much less from his nervousness,
and when he added Grape-Nuts food
to his diet he was DON entirely cured.
my friend, Mrs. -= of VickS-
burg (my former home), had become a
nervous wreck also from dyspepsia.
Medicines had no effect, neither did
travel help her. On my last visit
home, some months ago, | persuaded
her to use Grape-Nuts food. She was
in despair, and consented. She stuck
to it until it restored her health so
completely that she is now the most
enthusiastic friend of Grape-Nuts that
I ever knew. She eats it with cream
or dry, just as it comes from the pack
age-keeps it in her room and eats it.

myself, when my baby was two
months old, and | don't know what L
should have done without it. My APP
petite was gone, l was weak and ne-y-
Gus and afforded but very little nour-
ishment for the child. The Grape
Nuts food, of which l soon grew very
fond, speedily set all this right again,
and the baby grew healthful, rosy md
beautiful as a mother could wish. He
is two years old now and eats Grape
Nuts food himself. l wish every tired

Some of the European monarchs
give very large tips whenever they

quite ~niggardly. Emperor Nicholas OF
Russia is the most liberal in this re-

tips to servants and almost as mucn
on presents to officials and others.
King Edward of England is not quite
SO generous, but as he travels a good
