CAREFUL DOCTOR
Prescribed Change Of Food Instead of

Tt takes considerable courage for a
doctor to deliberately prescribe only
food for despairing patient, instead of
resorting to the usual list OF medicines
There are some truly scientific ply

they are and should be treated regard
less of the value to their pockets.
Here's an instance:
-Four years ago was taken with
severe gasIritis and nothing would stay
on my stomach. SO that I WAS on the
verge of starvation.
I heard Of a doctor who had a sum

After he examined me carefully he
advised me TO try a small quantity OF
Grape Nuts at first, then as my stom :
ach became stronger to eat more.
I kept at it and gradually got so I
could eat and digest three teaspoonfuls.
Then I began to have color in my face,
memory became clear. where before
everything seemed a blank. Ny limbs
got stronger and I could walk So
steadily recovered
Now after a year on Grape-Nuts l

GERMANS VIII CELEBRATE.
To Organize Branch of the Alliance
IT LeavenWOrth.

Lcavenworth. Kan. Oct. To-day
will be the occasion in Leavenworth of
the joint celebration of German day
and the organization of the Kansas
branch OF the Characterization Ma
tiOnal alliance. an organization which
already exists in considerable force in
"a states. The occasion will be OF I'M
pOrtance to Germans in all sections OF
Kansas and nearly every German socf-
ETY. in the state will have its represen-
tatives present for the occasion
The German-American National al
lance is a society organized primarily
fer social and fraternal purposes and
has as its chief guerdon that time when
the German in America will work joint
~ and individually to accomplish the
same objects. It has always been the
his identity when removed from his own
heath. He chances to be constructed
so that he quickly becomes allied to
new surroundings and soon is as much
like the man of his new country as the
native. This race versatility is Ia
mented by Germans who have long
striven to maintain as separate and
distinct the great German family in
America. One has only to remember
that about one-third of the nation is
directly or fundamentally German to
get an idea of the scope of the plan.
This IS what the German-American
National alliance is trying to accom-
plish. It would knit all the German
and Cermanic people in the country
into an afhliation which wishes to es-
tablish and maintain German schools,
promote the use of German and to
keep the spirit of the Fatherland
alive
The national association is divided
into state leagues. but up until the
present Kansas has never been strong
along this line of organization. Sew
eral months ago, however local Ger
mans conceived the idea of organizing
all the German societies of the state
into a branch Of the league and the
the purpose Of doing this. How many
delegates will be here can not be told
with any accuracy.

succeed SaSSakt.
From present indications. Mr.. Har-
riman is to succeed Mr.. Cassatt, or, at
least, is to become associated with
him. as the controlling influence in
the Baltimore & Ohio, says the Rail-
way Age. The official announcement
made a month ago that the Pennsyl-
vania, at some time not mentioned,
had sold "a part of its holdings of
Baltimore & Ohio shares to Kuhn,
Loeb & Co. was followed last week
by the further statement duly con-
flrmed, that negotiations We're then in
progress for the sale of this stock by
kuhp, Loeb & Co. to the Union Pacific
interests. Whether the sale has been
concluded has not been advertised to
date Other bidders are said to have
made offers, but in financial circles the
expectation prevails that Mr. Harri-
man VIII get the certificates. If this
shall come to pass. every one will say.
loosely, that the Union Pacific has
bought the Baltimore & Ohio. Tech
nically, this statement will be correct.
Practically, it will not be SO wide of
the mark, for Union Pacific is Harri-
man and, logic or no logic, What Har-
riman does the Union Pacific does.
The Pennsylvania has controlled the
Baltimore & Ohio through the own
ership of much less than one-half of
the capital stock. and probably his
$40. 900 600 of the Pennsylvania s $780,
100000 of former holdings will suffice
policies. But it by no means follows
that the Union Pacific will be made
the exclusive Pacific connection of the
Baltimore & Ohio, or the Baltimore &
Ohio the exclusive Atlantic connection
of the Union Pacific. Nothing is more

board, the whole amount of the net
