QUIET, EFFECTIVE WORK. Right Food Builds U3 and Strength
 ems While You Wait.

"The improvement in my condition came very soon after I begun to use Grape-Nuts food, and so easily and naturally that I was a well woman al most before I knew it, writes a Ne braska woman:
 For years I have suffered from chronic constipation, with its accom- paning headaches; languOr and eX- treme nervousness. This condition had gone on so long without permanent re- lief from anything I could take that had become fairly resigned to it,, as something to be endured with patient fortitude.
 Five years ago Grape-Nuts became a very popular dish with all sorts and conditions of people in our village, and bought a package just to see what it was like, with no thought of any spe- cial benefit that I might derive from it's use. I liked the crisp. nutty flavor of the new food from the beginning and kept on using it.
 "If I had been told in advance of the salutary effect that eating Grape-Nuts would have on me I would doubtless have been increduIous, tand it was a most pleasing surprise to suddenly realize that my constipation was gone and with it my headaches, while my lASl V SS Aieiu c p"Ai SNSHN'S eN'Ae' -iO i4AS-i and my strength was nearly doubled that I was actually in the enjoyment of the natural health that had been denied ne for at least 10 years
 "This is what Grape-Nuts food did for me- and this is the condition in which it has kept me for the past five years. I am still fond of it, and would eat 1t even if it had not proved so sig nally beneficial.
 When my baby was recovering from a severe attack of cholera infantum I found that Grape-Nuts food was not only a much relished but most strengthening and wholesome food for her, and it continues an indispensable item in her daily menu" Name given by Postum Co.,, Battle Creek, Mich.

A CHICAGO MAN
 HEARS OF PHOENIX
He Was A Reader of the News
 papers.

In discussing advertising, particular ly newspaper advertising, it has often been pointed out that there is no way of adequately estimating its value for it's influence is constantly expanding in the most inconceivable directions On the other hand there are sometimes very quick results from unexpected sources, an illustration of which was noted here yesterday.
 Secretary Van der Veer, of the board of trade, received a letter from L. K Anderson, of Chicago. It en,lozed a clipping from the Ch cago American of the 18th, containing a photograph of MT. Van der Veer and a very compli- mentary mention of him as one of the young men who took the advice of Horace Greeley and went west etc After reciting MT. Van der Veer'ss of ficial position it says: The is wide awake and never allows a stranger to leave the board of trade without a de- sire to return to it. His latest book is entitled Salt River Valley, Arizona, , and is chock full of common sense reading that tells of the good things in that beautiful and healthy spo-.'
 The clipping vas enclosed as an introduction for the writer of the let ter who saw it in the paper that day and received the impulse to write. He announced that his wife and her sister are in Phoenix now for the health of the former and that he expects U come in about sixty days. In the meantime if he finds things as he hopes he will probably arrange to make Phoenix his permanent home.
 The newspaper clipping was the re- suit of a visit here a few months ago of Joseph H. Pritchard. a staff writer on The American, who has relatives in Mesa City. Shortly after his return to Chicago he published a very pleas ing article concerning this valley, iI- frustrating the article with a picture of President Fulwiler of the board of trade. It seems that he secured the picture of MT. Van der Veer at the same time, though the mention he gave that gentleman yesterday was unso- hcited and unexpected.

BOOM Al GLOBE
 GETTING BIGGER
Business Houses and Residences Co.,
 ing Up Everywhere.

E. F. Kellner arrived here yesterday morning from Globe which he says is booming as never before in the history of the town The fOur-story hotel is rapidly approaching completiou and there is lots of building going on in every direction. MT. KelIner estimates that there are now busily employed in the town at least 2CO carpenters and many business and residence properties are in course of erection. There isn't a whole lot of level ground on which to build houses but all that is availa- ble is being utilized. The smelters are busy and vast quantities of custom ore are being reduced at the Old Dominion beside the ore from the company mines
 MT Kellner says he has boom on to make Globe the capital of Arizona the Great in the event of jointure He contends that the town is more centrally situated than any other in the proposed double state, that it hopes to be on two lines of railroad and to possess other conveniences that will appeal to the powers that be. He thinks Globe will be more generally accessi- ble than Santa Fe in case of the i'm probable necessity of finding capital for double state.

WilImstad, Jan. 22.-Advices re- ceived here today say that the dean of the diplomatic corps at Caracas, the Belgiancharge d'affaires has conferred with Senor Ybarra, the Venezuelan foreign minister on the incident at tending the authorization of the former French charge daffaires, M.

The Bel gian official pointed out that the diplo- matic roIps considered M Taigny to be a member of the corps until re- moved bY his government and asked the foreign minister for an explanation of the position of Venezuela, to mem bers of the corps.
 Senoc Ybarra evaded the request of the Belgian representative and treated the Taigny incident lightly, remarking that M. Taigny had allowed himself to be caught Ike a rat in a trap"
 There is a great lack of news at Car acas. The people of Venezuela are en- tirely ignorant of the situation.

role of the cast was taken by Theodore Marston, who is so well known here that little can be said in addition to
 what has already been said in praise of his work. A stranger as an entertainer to the Phoenix public and who will all ways be welcomed back to this city is J. w. Clifford, who took the charac- ter of Chris Cutting, the man who fixes things. in last evenings bill. It was not alone in his clever bit of act
 ing that MT Clifford made friends
 with the audience but in his speciality
 work he was several times recalled and showed himself to be a very versatile
 entertainer. His German dialect is
 perfect, his dancing clever and his singing of several yodels was much ap-
 preciated It will be of interest to
 know that Miss Nilderd Eddy. who in
 the cast took the part of Harriet Sterl- ing is Mrs. Clifford. In the special ties she sang several songs, illustrated, | and showed herself to be the pOssesor
 of a rare soprano voice. Other members
 of the cast took well the parts allotted
 to them. The company will play sev- | eral towns :n southern Arizona

 A good crowd of earnest soul seeking people was out last night to hear M". Cronenberger who preached on the sub ject Man His own BiOgrapher." It was an impressive and warning appeal i He likened each day of a mans life
 to a page in his book and asked what
 the record would be. The invitation
 was given and young man and q bright faced boy came forward and
 made good confessions. MT. Little | johns solo, "The Books Will Be Open | ed'' was rendered with mnch feeling and expression. The subject for this evening will be "The Power of the Cos pei" This will be an interesting ad l dress and che welcome is general to all who wish to hear both the sermon and
 the excellent music which will be pro vided.

The sale of the liquor was not denied by the accused although it was claimed the purchaser was a Mex ican and not the Indian held as a wit ness. The case against him, however was considered strong enough by the court to hold tine accused to await the action of the federal grand jury, ais bond being fixed at two hundred dol lars, which was furnished. On a similar charge Thomas Hani- fy was discharged after an examina- ton. He conducts a saloon at five points but established the fact that he was ignorant of the law, thought he was dealing with a Mexican and several other points which moved As sistant U. s. Attorney Walter Kibbey to dismiss the case for the govern ment.

TOO MUCH OF A CUB
 FOR OFFICIAL GAMBLER
A Phoenix Booster Too Young To Take Job Under Canal Commission.

The members of the green cloth fra ternity in this city love to have their little fun with each other just the same as other people. The "cub" gamb- Ter has to be educated just like the novices in any other line of activity and like any other line the best way to acquire the fine points is to have them hammered in by older heads
 There is a -'cub gambler in Phoenix now, though hesisn't so much of a cub as he was a short time ago. He is said to be fairly clever in acquiring the ordinary rules of the various games of chance but he is somewhat deficient in a knowledge of things in general, all of which plays into the hands of a sport as much as it benefits the average business man in his accrr1ula- . ton of wealth.
 The job that was put up on the cub was as follows: He was told that the profession was now overcrowded in these parts and that if he wanted to be a successful sport he should start out in life with a determination to break new ground, to get into a new and inviting field somewhere and kind of grow up with the country. so he could personally be considered as one of the institutions thereof. getting the big graft as the country developed. It was suggested that now that the Unit ed States has undertaken the building of the Isthnlian canal a place quite remote from the influences for the suppression of gambling, that prevail all over the states, it ought to be a great field for the right kind of a man. He we.s led to believe too, that

The arrest had been made Saturday night by Dep uty United States Marshal Walter Gregory and a special agent of the government who is now in the city. At the time of his arrest Berdague gave q cash bond of S200 for his appearance at the examination. The sale of the liquor was made at the Cottage saloon

Some fourteen years ago when such popular stars as Barry and Fay and Murray and Murphy were at their gen. ith. two young men, one aged twenty and the other nineteen, started their starring tour in a play called "The Irish Neighbors."

the whole Ishmian enterprise was un- der the direction of Secretary Taft, who, of course, would to some extent regulate moral affairs on the isthmus as well as business affairs. He was told that the secretary recognized the fact that there was bound to be more or less gambling where such a vast num- Der of ignorant laborers were employed but that he wanted to have things con- ducted as orderly as possible and that everything should be on the square, for no doubt the secretary would have his portion of the spells and in turn would lend protection to the square gambler Then he was told that a confidential representative of the sec retary was in the city on the lookout for competent men who could be in sured a salary of eight dollars shift He was advised to see this gentleman whose address was given him, and forthwith he set out to do sO
 The confidential representative who had been ''put wise" greeted him cor dially and they retired to a quiet apart ment where the young man was to take his 'examination." After he had been questioned exhaustively concerning the intricacies of faro bank, roulette, keno and few popular round table methods of getting the money, the examiner re- marked to him that he appeared to be more than usually adept Tor one of his age,
 How old are you?'' the examiner inquired. I'm only twenty three" the cub replied" whereupon he was told that he could not be accepted as the secretary would offer no inducements to men under twenty five.
 With a heavy heart the cub returned to the haunts of his associates who crowded around him eagerly and in quird concerning his success.
 'Oh, it's just my confounded luck 9 he said. 'I passed a beautiful exam ination but the fellow told me I had to be twenty-five years old and that lets me out for he had already asked me my age and I couldn't lie about it then"
 It was about that time that the ex- aminer appeared, the horse laugh as cended and the cub made signs indi- eating that he really had learned some thing new about the ways of the world.

Rev. Henry A. Buchtel Delivers Ad.

Large Audience.

An audience, which taxed the seat
ing capacity of st. Johns Methodist
Episcopal Church, attended the lee
ture on Theodore Roosevelt" deliv.
cred by Rev. Henry A. Buchtel, chan
cellor Of Denver University, Saturday
night. DR.. Buchtel is one of the
strongest speakers ever heard in this
city, and Theodore Roosevelt Ia
without doubt mis- masterpiece.
II attribute the greatness of this
man." said Dr. Buchtel, first to his
composite nationality. He is descend
ed from Dutch, Scotch, Irish and
Huguenot, and has the predominating
characteristics of these peoples. He
possesses that determination of pur.
pose which we see in the Dutch in
fighting back the seas which at times
threaten to drown their families and
ruin their homes. His cool reasoning
power is his heritage from the Scotch;
his quickness to arrive at results
comes through his Irish lineage, and
as a reformer we see In him the trait
Of the Huguenot.
Roosevelt is a true American, one
who knows how to reach the hearts
Of the common people, and who does
not hesitate to place himself on a
level with men of the working class.
His father was northerner and his
mother was born and raised in the
South He lived in the West and was
educated in the East. He knows the
people and their ways of living in
every part of this great country of
ours. He can sympathize with them,
as he has mingled with them and
shared their lot from boyhood."
Dr. Buchtel devoted some time to
telling of the literary and political ca.
reer Of the President, during which
he told many humorous anecdotes,
which formed an interesting part of his
lecture. He closed by telling of the
home life of Roosevelt, which is ideal.
He is his children's companion and
playfellow and when with them is

FIRE BURNS FOREST.
Ten Acres Of Timber In Arroyo Hondo
Are Destroyed BY Fierce
Blaze.

A forest fire could be plainly seen
from this city last night in the di
rection of the Sangre de Cristos, and
it was thought to be on the Pecos
Forest Reserve. However, it was
learned today from Supervisor of For
est Reserves Leon F. Kneipp that the
fire was In Arroyo Hondo.
"The fire is not or the Pecos Re
serve, as was at first supposed, said
Mr.. Kneipp. ''I drove out there this
forenoon and found 1t to be only
about six miles from Santa Fe in
Arroyo Hondo About ten acres had
been burned"
When asked as to the probable
cause of the origination Of the fire, Mr.
Kneipp said:
This is the fire season and it IL
and this Is one of those kind. 1t start
ed on a ridge about fifty yards from
the trail, and, as it was not neal
water, could not have started from
a camp fire."
The rangers report having extln
guished three other fires in wide
spread localities over the Territor,
recently. One of them was a 100
acre fire; the others, one of thirty
and the other of ten acres.
