cyclone Kidnapped a Child.

Des Moines-Kidnaped by cyclone
eighteen years ago. to discover himself
'nly within the past few days. Charles
Bennett of Vallisca, Iowa, has put the
strange story of Charlie Ross clear out
Of commission.
Imagine baby carried miles and
miles by whirling, shrieking storm
cloud, deposited in a strangers yard,
there found, nursed into life and finally
discovering thousand miles away the
real parents from whom as a babe he
was separated eighteen years before.
There you have the remarkable tale
Of Charles Bennett. Was ever q story
stranger?
Benefits parents lived in Harrison
county Missouri. Old settlers there
we'll remember that fatal cyclone which
swept over the county eighteen years
ago. 1t left ruin and disaster in it's
wake.
When the storm struck the Bennett
cottage 1t literally tore the house to
finders. The father and mother were
separated and the baby boy was picked
up by the storm cloud and let down in
the back yard Of T. w. Hudson, far
mer, who was getting ready to move
for Louisiana.
Hudson took the youngster with him
TO Louisiana. There he reared him as
his own. And it was not until the sup
posed father and son quarreled the
other day that Hudson told Bennett
the remarkable story Of his life.
Bennett set forth to find himself At
little town in Harrison county he dis
covered a clew to his parents. There
an old settler named Hank" Barnes
told him the story. He discovered soon
after a sister, Mrs. Benjamin Richard
son, at Vallisca, and brother in Fair
aeld, Nebraska. The mother, who has
long mourned the son as dead, is in
California, and thither the victim of
the cyclone will betake himself.

BubonIe Plague Breaks Out.

San Francisco. Cal.-Twenty cases
Of Bubonic plague. four of which have
resulted in death, have been reported
to the health department. The patients.
with one exception, were poor foreign

FOOD
FACTS
|Grape-Nuts
F ID
A Body Balance

People hesitate at the statement that
the famous TODD. Grape-Nuts. yields as
much nourishment from one pound as
can be absorbed by the system from
ten pounds of meat, bread, wheat or
oats. Ten pounds of meat might con-
tain more nourishment than one pound
of Grape-Nuts. but not in shape that
the system will absorb as large pro-
portion of, as the body can take up
from one pound Of Grape-Nuts.
This food contains the selected parts
Of wheat and barley which are pre-
pared and by natural means predi-
gested, transformed into a form OF
sugar. ready for immediate assimila-
tion. People in all parts of the world
testify to the value of Grape-Nuts.
A Mo. man says: II have gained ten
pounds on Grape-Nuts food. l can
truly recommend 1t to thin people"
He had been eating meat. bread. etc.
right along, but there was no ten
pounds Of added flesh until Grape-Nuts
food was used.
One curious feature regarding true
health food is that its use will reduce
the weight OF corpulent person with
unhealthy flesh. and will add to the
weight OF thin person not properly
nourished. There Is abundance Of
evidence to prove this.
Grape-Nuts balances the body in .
condition Of true health. Scientific So
lection OF food elements makes Grape
Nuts good and valuable. Its delicious
flavor and powerful nourishing prop
critics have maze friends that b,
turn have made Grape-Nuts famoun.

Platform Comes First.

Governor Cummins expresses some
very sensible ideas as to the course
the Republican party ought row to
be pursuing in reference to the next
national campaign, and all will agree
that he is right:
In letter addressed to George E.
Bowers, of Orange, Ia, a prominent
Republican editor, Governor Cum
Minis declared that President Roose-
welt should withdraw his statement
that he will not accept a renomina-
ton. The letter was written in re-
spouse to an inquiry concerning
presidential politics, and its import
ant statements follow:
There is a great deal being said
and a great deal being written with
regard to the candidate for presi-
dent, but it is vastly more import
ant that We succeed in announcing a
platform that should be expressive Of
our purposes than it is now to deter
mine who the candidate shall be.
Personally, l believe that Presi-
dent Roosevelt's plain duty is to
withdraw his former statement and
to say that under the demand now
made and the evident state Of the
public mind, he will accept another
nomination If 1t is rendered him with
practical unanimity."
The Governor will agree that the
platform must so far as possible
conform to the policies of the present
administration. and he will concede
that the great masses of the Repub-
liean party will approve of such a
platform, as will many thousands of
Democrats. He himself favors a
plain, practical declaration In this
respect and wants such policies to
be reduced to what may be regarded
and depended upon in the main to be
the platform that will be adopted at
the next national convention.
And most every man will agree
with him that there would be nothing
out Of the way to re-elect Roosevelt
to the Presidency. In truth, the
great masses of the people as well as
a great many leaders honestly be-
lieve that is the only true thing to do.
The Governors words are weighty
and will be given much consideration
by the party, as they ought to be
given.

President Tucker, of the James
town Exposition, in his speech at the
opening exercises of the exposition
touched the popular chord, when he
addressed himself as follows to Presi-
dent Roosevelt:
But, Mr.. President, these are but
as "a sounding brass and tinkling
cymbal unless the spiritual, the
idealistic, the patriotic sentiments of
our people are stimulated and cher
ished 1t has been your proud privi-
lege to do much to turn the public
mind toward high ideals. and we
humbly trust that 1t may yet be your
privilege to do much more for the
cause of liberty. You have boldly
challenged to battle those who, in
your judgment. would curtail this
ancient principle; the final outcome
cannot be in doubt; an iron nerve, a
dautless courage-with which you
are happily possessed-will be. your
support throughout the conflict"
