TEA FROM THE FLOWERS.
This Product Little Known in the
 United States.

Tea, not from leaves, but from the flowers alone of the plant, is rarely en- countered in commerce. The petals. stamens, etc., are sun dried, and the resulting tea is of rich, deep brown hue of peculiarly delicate odor, and gives pale amber colored infusion rather more astringent in taste than that from the average fair grade leaf. The taste for it is an acquired one, and even if this tea could be made commercially possible, it is doubtful if it would ever become popular.
 The American tea trade could ad- yantageously take suggestion from the brick tea of the far east. In our country, the tea dust, some of which is good quality, is not properly utilized. In Europe it is a regular article of trade, and it is advertised and sold as tea dust. In America it is sold to thousands of cheap restau- rants, who make from it the mixture of tanic acid, sugar and boiled milk which they sell as :s'tea." If, as in the orient, this dust was compressed into bricks, good tea could be made from

BIG COAL DEAL
Bids wanted for Supplying Govern. ment With 133,OOO Tons of Coal.

Washington, Sept.-Bids were open ed at the Bureau of Equipment of the Navy Department for the transporting and supplying Of coal for the use of the Atlantic battleship fleet during it's coming voyage to the Pacific coast in December. The proposals contem plated the shipment or supply of this coal to be delivered at various points in the West Indies, on the South American coast and at Magdalena bay and Mare Island and San Francisco on the Pacific coast of North America. Under one form of proposal bidders were asked to submit estimates for transporting 133, 1000 tons of American semi-bituminous coal, to be obtained b ythe Navy Department, from vari- ous North Atlantic ports either in American or foreign bottoms. The other proposal asked for estimates for supplying 120,000 tons of Welsh coal. The department was anxious to obtain the two sets of proposals so that if those submitted for shipment of the American coal in America or foreign bottom were eXOrbitant, recourse might be had to the offers for sup plying the Welsh coal. Secretary Metcalf is loath to charter foreign bottoms for the shipment of the American coal, but contends he has the legal right to do so if the charg- es made for the transportation in American bottoms is excessive. All along the officials have asserted there will be no trouble in obtaining all the fuel needed.

PUTS THE "eINGER" IN.
The Kind of Food Used by Athletes.

A former college athlete, one of the long distance runners, began to lose his power of endurance. His expert ence with change in food is interest ing.
 While I was in training on the track athletic team, my daily 'jogs' be- came task, until after I was put on Grape-Nuts food for two meals a day After using the Food for two weeks I felt like a new man. My digestion was perfect, nerves steady and I was full of energy.
 q trained for the mile and the half mile runs Chose events which require so much endurance) and then the long daily .jogs,' which before had been such task, were clipped of with ease. I won both events.
 "The Grape-Nuts food put me in per feet condition and gave me my ginger Not only was my physical condition made perfect, and my weight in- creased, but my mind was made clear and vigorous so that I could get out my studies in about half the time for merly required. Now most all of the University men use Grape-Nuts for they have learned it's value, but I think my testimony will not be amiss and may perhaps help. some one to learn how the best results can be ob- tairled."
 There's reason for the effect of Grape-Nuts food on the human body and brain. The certain elements in wheat and barley are selected with special reference to their power for re- building the brain and nerve centres. The product is then carefully and scientifically prepared so as to make 1t easy of digestion. The physical and mental results are 50 apparent after two or three weeks use as to produce a profound impression. Read "The Road to Wellville," in pkgs. There's . reason"
