FOOD CAN DO THINGS.

Real Miracles Worked in the Body. !.
From Manitoba a lady writes her
reasons for the faith that is in her as
to miracles wrought in the present.
day:
81 have been a great traveller In this
and lands beyond the sea- she says,
"and it is not surprising that my ,df-
gestive apparatus, never very strong,
should have become thoroughly de-
ranged from the effect of the starclly,
highly seasoned, greasy dishes usually
set before wayfarers.
81 became the prey of all the distress
and wretchedness that accompany
dyspepsia, even TO the development at
times of an acute state of paralysis OF
the lining of the stomach, when could
eat nothing but merely sip warm milk
till I was nearly starved and looked
like half live skeleton.
my brain grew sluggish and insom-
mia punished me till 1 became hys-
terical wreck. My only hope and de-
sire at this time was that might
reach the end of . painful life, and
that speedily.
81 heard of the predigested Grape
Nuts food and some months ago. with
out one grain of faith in it, bought
box. I found to my surprise that after
one days use of it was already bene-
fitted, and by the time I had used. all
of the first package l became con-
WINGED that the days of miracles are
not yet over-so great was the i'm
provelnent that had come over me. It
was the opening of the door, as is
WERE to good health and energy of
brain and body. 1t gave me new vigor,
mental and physical, my digestion was
restored, all the distressing symptoms
of a disordered stomach passed away,
and the nervous. hysterical woman at
last began to know what it really is to
live. My eyes grew brighter and my
body rounded out with returning flesh.
In the first three weeks / gained 10
pounds in weight and 100 in strength
and energy.
The indescribable relief that came
when l realized that | could discard
the nauseating drugs with which had
been so long dosing myself and use
in their stead food SO delicious and
strengthening as Grape Nuts may be
imagined.
II write this in simple gratitude, for
feel that Grape-Nuts food has
brought back to me all the JOY OF

PRICES RECOVER
 IN STOCK MARKET Hesitation and Sluggishness are
 Still Apparent TRADING IS PROFESSIONAL Whole Character of Market Is Better Defined as Waiting Than as
 Either Strong or Re-
 actlonary.
TRADING IS PROFESSIONAL

New York, March s-Prices recovered in todays stock market although there was little improvement in the volume of trading. The tone was by no means well assured, and hesitation and sluggishness were still apparent in the movement.
 Trading was largely in professional hands and there was no evidence of any important revival of public interest. The smallness of the selling orders which re- suited from the downward tendency yes- terday served as an encouragement to holders of stocks, and as a warning to bearish professionals not to extend their short contracts unduly. After the extent of the speculation for the advance. and the height to which prices have been lift ed, the small pressure to liquidate on the reaction is regarded as remarkable. The whole character of the market. in fact, is better defined as a waiting one than as either strong or reactionary. With the Northern Securities case decided, the ab sence of large selling to realize is regard ed as indicating feeling of confidence In future developments having a favorable bearing on values But more explicit in- formation is awaited regarding the de- velopments.
 The postponement of announcements has proved trying to the patience of these holding stocks in expectation of the plans which were supposed to be con- tingent on the settlement of the North ern Securities case having to do with the redistribution not only of the prop critics included in that merger, but of others indirectly concerned in the rail- road policy involved in that combination. Large attention is given to the subject fin the current discussion in Wall street. but evidently more concrete results were desired to revive any active speculation in the market
 The effect of the strike of the local tram sit companies was less marked in dimin~ ishng the attendance at the stock ex change today and the sentimental phases of the strike were taken less account of. The most conspicuous buying today was in the coalers, and the special promi- nence of Reading was attributed to the activity of a pool in the stock. The re- view of the trade conditions by the recog- nized organ was very cheerful however and doubt was expressed whether the usual spring reduction in the price scale would be adopted this year, at any event at the usual time. Amalgamated copper also was responsive to enthusiastic trade reports and a speculative party was said to be active in that stock. The sharp rally In New York Central had a good effect on sentiment
 The movement in western stocks con- nected with the merger rumors was more moderate. The crisis in the war in the far east and the threatened catastrophe to the Russian army had the effect os checking activity, rather than of prompt ing any definite position in the market. In Paris the rumor of another Russian loan

IMPROVEMENT IN
 THECOTTON MARKET
Rains il South Steadied Market
 During Session
CLOSET AT TABOUT THE BEST
Late In he Day Local Professionals Took Profits, But Rally Was cased By the Demand
 of the Bulls.

New Yorl March s.-The cotton market showed a moderate improvement in point of activity with commission houses hay ing some buying orders, based presum- ably on apirehensions that the continued rain in the south would lead to smaller receipts in the near future. and possibly cause delays in preparing for the new crop. As ths would indicate, the market ruled generally steady to firm, closing at nearly the test point of the session. The opening was steady at unchanged prices to an advanoe of 1 point or just about as due on the cables. There was some de- mand on the call from room traders, but after working up or points the larger estimate for tomorrows receipts at New Orleans caused scattering liquidation, and a break to practically the opening figures Later however the market rallied on a better deman1 through wire houses with southern connections, and during the mid dle session ruled generally steady to firm with prices in the early afternoon averag- ing about to 19 points higher. Later local professionals who had bought early took profits, and prices eased off about to 5 points, but were rallied again in the last lew minutes by renewed demand Tor local bulls, the market closing steady at a net advance of 7d9 points. Sales were estimated at 150,O0O bales. Port receipts for the day, while smaller than the re- cent average, were well above last years. and the estimate for tomorrow's receipts were liberal
 Receipts at the ports today, 4195 bales against 56S last week. and 15,0S4 last year. For the week estimated, 160.000 bales, against 157,817 last week and b1,213 last year
 Today's receipts at New Orleans 1273 bales against 6614 last year. ard at Hous- ton, 14,105 bales against 1122 last year.
