times when they need little assistance.
Peruna is exactly this sort of a remedy.

BUILDING FOOD
To Bring the Babies Around.

Important rs the selection Of food to
bring it around again.

old had pneumonia, then came brain
fever, and no sooner had he got over
these than he began to cut teeth and
being so weak. he was frequently
thrown into commissions" says q Colo
RADIO mother.
II decided change might help, SO
took him to Kansas City for visit.
When we got there he was so very
weak when he would cry he would
sink away and seemed like he would
die.
"When reached my sisters home
she said Immediately that we must
feed him Grape-Nuts and. although l
had never used the food, we got some
and for a few days gave him Just the
juice of Grape-Nuts and milk. He got
stronger so quickly we were soon feed
ing him the Grape-Nuts itself and in
wonderfully short time he fattened
right up and became strong and well.
"That showed me something worth
knowing and. when later OH my girl
came. l raised her on GrapeNuts, and
she is strong, healthy baby and has
been. You will see from the little pho
tograph l send you what n strong
chubby youngster the boy Is now. but
he didn't look anything like that be-
fore we found this nourishing food.
Grape-Nuts nourlshed air back to
strength when he was so weak he
couldn't keep any other food on his

GIRLS IN GERMANY.

The German girl leaves school at

she has learned to sew, mend and Sup
posedly to speak English and French.
She has not learned higher mathematics.
says Modern Women, but she has learned
the small things which fit a girl for a
housewife or companion, and that. III
Germany, is woman's only sphere. How
ever, much as we American girls may
enjoy our colleges we dare not pity the
German girls, for they have something
which takes their place and of which
we can have no conception until we re-
side in Germany for few months. Did
you ever hear OF a pension? 1t is
one of the most enjoyable things which
exists. Certain influential ladies, mostly
widows or maiden aunts, make known
that they are willing to take limited
number of young ladies into their fam
lilies. We went to Hanover, two of lis
girls. with a horror and dread Of a
boarding school, as we had heard a
pension described. We found ourselves
in family of eight girls, all from the
very best class of Germans, and all
placed under Frau Won HIS care for
a year or more. None of the girls had
any special object in life; few wanted
to learn how to keep house, few i'll
dulged in an hours music lesson per
week. but most of them came, as is
the German custom, for the sake of
becoming polished and being escorted to
concerts, theatres balls, receptions, STU

forded in smaller cities and even not in
many cities that are larger than Han
over.
Consequently Our chaperon accepted in
yitations for her girls, parties were given
and the great intimate family spent a
wear full of pleasure.

R. G. Dun & Co.'S weekly Review
of Trade" says:
Buiness maintain wholesome pro-
gress and mercantile collections improve.
The weeks aggregate transactions show
the effect of the holiday and seasonable
quiet in certain lines, but good gain
is noted in comparison with the cores
ponding period of any previous year.
Uncertainty regarding the crops caused
unusue conservatism at the Northwest
until this week when the outlook be-
came sufficiently encouraging to restore
confidence. In many jobbing lines there
is no prospect of vigorous activity until
Fall, but wholesale distributor is now
heavy and retail business is only retard-
cd at points where temporary weather
condition are adverse. Little idle ma
chinery is reported at manufacturing
plants, except in a few cases of labor
disputes, and several substantial in
creases in wages became effective OF
June I. Railway earnings thus Tar re-
corded for May exceeded last years by
III per cent.
Aside from the strike of founders and
mouders the iron and s,eel industry is
in splendid condition.
Footwear factories are supplied with
orders that will maintain full activity
for two or three months and supplement
tary contracts for Fall delivery contill-
ually arrive from statesmen or by mail.

WHAT FATHER DOES.

Mothers may talk, work, struggle, to
make their sons models by which to
shape new heaven and new earth.
But the boys world is in the man who
is in his father, and the boy believes
that, whatever may be right on Sundays
or at prayer time, the things that are
really good, that really count in life,
are what father does. Moreover, it is
what father does which defines the
means with which the boy shall work,
the sphere wherein his efforts shall be
shaped. In word, what father does
is the beginning as it is the end OF the
boys achievements.
