BACK TO PULPIT
What Food Did for a Clergyman.

A minister of Elizabethtown tells
how Grape-Nuts food brought him
back to his pulpit: Some years ago
had an attack of what seemed to be-
La Grippe which left me in a ccm-
plete state Of collapse and I suffered
for some time with nervous prostra-
tion. My appetite failed, lost flesh
till was a mere skeleton, life was a
burden to me, lost interest in every
thing and almost in everybody SAVE
my precious wife.
"Then on the recommendation Of
some friends / began to use Grage-
Nuts food. At that time was a MIS-
cradle skeleton, without appetite and
hardly able to walk across the room:
had ugly dreams at night, no DISPOSE
ton to 'entertain or be entertained and
began to shun society.
Il finally gave up the regular minis
try, indeed / could not collect my
thoughts ON any subject and became
almost hermit. After I had been
using the Grape-Nuts food for a short
time / discovered that / was taking
on new life and my appetite began to
improve; / began to sleep better and
my weight increased steadily: had
lost some so pounds, but under the
new food regime I have regained al
most my former weight and have
greatly improved in every way.
Il feel that owe much to Grape
Nuts and can truly recommend the
food to all who require powerful re-
building agent. delicious to taste and
always welcome"

The Things We Eat.

Too much meat is absolutely hurt
full to the body. Sailors on board of
ships get scurvy when their supply of
vegetable food is exhausted. The d.
gestive organs Of the human body de-
mand vegetable food, and If we don't
eat enough vegetables we pay for It
dearly.
Nature gave us wheat, and in every
kernel of wheat nature has distrib-
uted iron. starch, phosphorus, lime,
sugar, salt and other elements neces-
sary to make bone, blood and muscle.
EGG-O-SEE is wheat scientifically
prepared. Cooked, and made into
crisp fakes, EGG-O-SEE goes into the
stomach ready for the digestive or
gans to convert 1t into life-giving sub
stances with but little effort.
EGG-O-SEE eaters are clean-eyed,
strong and happy lot. The proof of a
pudding and the proof of EGG-O-SEE
is in the eating. EGG-O-SEE besides
being solid nourishment is most pal
atable. Every mouthful is a joy to
the taste and direct benefit to your
health. A 10-cent package of EGG-O-
SEE contains ten liberal breakfasts.
Our friends advertise us. They eat
EGG-O-SEE for WHILE. They grow
strong. They are well and happy and
thcv pass the good word along.
Next time you send to the grocer's
tell your boy or girl to bring home a
Iacksge of EGG-O-SEE. Have your
chiloren eat EGG-O-SEE. 1t is their
friend. They'll eat EGG-O-SEE when
nothing else will taste good.
Yeu try EGG-O-SEE and you can
deduct the cost from your doctors
bills.

TO'the Voters.

The effort thatshas been made here
by certain Democratic politicians to
prove that during the past two years
f. d. ellison has been an unusually
expensive sheriff, has failed mserably
when confronted by the real facts.
During the past twenty-one months
while Sheriff Gibson has been in office,
twenty-five criminals have been sent to
the penitentiary At total cost of ST.
466. 90 or at an average cost of about
$73. 90 for each criminal. On the other
hand the records show that during the
incumbency of Sheriff j. c. Shorno,
eleven men were committed during five
years Of time at an average cost to the
county of 1852 per. criminal. The Off
cial records show that in Yakima coun-
ty while A. l.. Dilley acted as sheriff,
eight criminals were sent to the peni-
Tertiary at cost to that county of
$7,943.O0 or of 1898 for each man.
Sheriff Dilley was succeeded by II. l..
Tucker, who in a period of four years,
sent twenty eight men to the .peniten-
tiary at total cost Of $2l, l27 or at an
average cost of about $776 per man.
Lastly r. A. Grant succeeded to that
Office. sending 80 criminals TO prison
in eighteen months at a total. cost of
SIP, 557. 90 or at cost of 1888 FOR each
criminal. 3.

A rousing republican rally was held
at the Memo. school house Tuesday
evening. A number of candidates
were present and made short addresses,
but the main speakers were J. G.
Steffer, Julius Siemens and j. d. Bas-
sett. JIG. Steffer took Mr.. Offutt for
his subject He explained the farmers
fire insurance law, the banking law
and the railroad commission law in "a
very effective way. julius Siemens
declared.tha he had been democrat
but not a radical one; that he was in
dependent IN politics this year and
would not only vote the straight
republican ticket, but would use every
lawful means to secure it's success at
the polls, and urged every voter pres
ent to not only vote the republican
ticket, but do for it what was in his
power. He said he was tired of the
dongs of the Ritzville democratic ring.
j. ID. Bassett spoke on general prin-
ciples. His talk was well taken. He
left a very good impression upon the
people. 1t is not saying too much that
Mr.. Bassett will receive big vote in
this precinct. There is no doubt that
the republican ticket will receive a
greater majority this fall than it ever
has received.

MRS. EVA EMERY DYE.

| that vast and rich country drained by
the Columbia River.
Sacajawea, when but thirteen years
old, was stolen from her people-the
Shoshones-and became a slave to the
Dakotas. They treated her well, how.
ever, and at the age of eighteen they
sold her to French fur-trader, Char
boneau, who made her his wife, prom
Using that he would, in time, take her
to her own people. Shortly after this
the Lewis and Clark expedition, with
its motley band, came along, making
their winter quarters in that section
which is now the southern part Of the
Dakotas. The expedition needed a
guide, and Charboneau learning Of
this, told his wife that by guiding the
party she would have a chance to find
her own people. She offered her serv-
ices to the pioneers, which were ac-
cepted; Charboneau was hired as
cook.
During the winter, while the party
was making preparations for moving
forward next spring, Sacajawea gave
birth to boy baby; yet, not to be de-
TERED in her hope of again being
united to her people, and with her
baby on her back, she led the party
over Inc TuBSeu uOuuJdluS W INC ASdu
waters Of the Columbia.
Before reaching the end of the jour-
ney the explorers came across the
tribe from which the Western heroine
had been stolen. Her own people en-
deavored to persuade her to remain
with them. Sacajawea had given her
word to guide the men to the Pacific
Ocean and she was not to be swerved
from keeping her promise. This is
the story which Mrs. Dye has set forth
in "The Conquest" All through the
book is full of little incidents of the
bravery of the woman guide, how she
saved the band from humiliation at
the hands of an unfriendly Indian
tribe, the leader of whom was her
brother. Mrs. Dye brings out into the
light the story of Lewis and Clark
themselves, in which they give SAGA
jawea the credit for having saved their
lives and having made possible the
success of their expedition.
And so this country now gives recog-
milton to her services through the
agency of woman. A statue has been
erected to a woman through the aid
Of woman; Miss Alice Cooper, of Den
yer, was the designer; MIS-. Dye and
her woman friends procured the funds
for the monument and woman con-
tributed the necessary metal.
