"Old dame nature has sure way of curing sick people by food If the kind she wants is supplied the body and the

 She prescribes such things as fresh air and sunshine, exercise and rigue
 food as her principal agencies.
 Grape Nuts is a natural food pre-
 pared from wholesome grains, with no
 drugs nor chemical ingredients or pro- cesses. and is shipped from the factory

 somnia, etc, tells how Grape-Nuts food
 restored her to health and happiness in less than twelve weeks.
 T was SO reduced in strength with untold suffering, without vitality or ambition. bed-ridden and unable to even wait on myself, that I felt obliged to doctor all the time, taking one pre- scription after another. but deriving no permanent benefit from any. Some l times I would feel better for a little
 while. but soon the effects of the medi- cine would pass away and would lapse
 back to my former condition.

 The governor of Mississippi wants a State official who will be armed with rowing commission to travel to and Inspect every locality outside of his State upon which some suspic- n of yellow fever infecl might possi- ply be fixed, and he declares that New Orleans should be the chief field for his researches. The wisdom of such course was demonstrated in the re cent epidemic in Mississippi.

Inquiry on Reycnue Cutter.

On the United States revenue cutter Hamilton, now lying at the city wharf is being held an inquiry into aff all legged infraction of departmental rules regarding the survey of a Government steamship.
