TAKE THEM OUT Or Feed Them Food They Can Study On.

When a student begins to break down from lack of the right kind of food. there are only two things to do; either take him out of school or feed him properly on food that will rebuild the brain and nerve cells. That food is Grape-Nuts.
 A boy writes from Jamestown, N, Y, saying: "A short time ago l got into a bad condition from overstudy, but Mother having heard about Grape Nuts food began to feed me on it. It satisfied my hunger better than any other food, and the results were mar yelous. I got fleshy like a good fel- low. My usual morning headaches disappeared, and 1 found l could study for a long period without feeling the effects of it.
 My face was pale and thin, but is now round and has considerable color. After had been using Grape-Nuts for about two months I felt like a new boy altogether. I have gained greatly in strength as well as flesh, and it is a pleasure to study now that I am not bothered with my head. l passed all of my examinations with a reason ably good percentage, extra good in some of them, and it is Grape-Nuts that has saved me from years delay in entering college.
 Father and mother have both been improved by the use of Grape-Nuts. Mother was troubled with sleepless nights and got very thin, and looked care worn. She has gained her nor nal strength and looks, and sleeps we'll nights" There's a Reason" Read "The Road to Melville" in pkgS

From Treasury Department.

Uncle Sans financial system must
be sound, for the men who hold prom
inent treasury positions are most
sought-after material.
The department of which Mr.. Cortel-
YOU is now the head has developed
into a sort Of breeding place for
chieftains Of the great banks of the
country.
From the time man becomes Sec
-etary of the treasury or even gains
one Of the assistant places, he be-
comes a marked man on the part of
the big financial institutions.
Immediately they all want him,
and he must be literally supplied
with cash and patriotism to refuse the
kind OF offers they make. Salaries
they extend far outclass the compare
lively modest payment that Uncle
Sam allows. 1t is small wonder,
therefore, that one by one they sue

The recent selection of George E.
Roberts. director Of the mint, to be
president of the strong Commercial
Bank of Chicago, is an instance of
this tendency
Despite his ability, Mr.. Roberts
might never have come to this prefer
ment but for the prominence that po-
litical life gave him.
This is a good practical argument
for a young man to get into politics,
and act honestly in the public service,
not for the immediate return, but for
the chances it will make for him with
big financial interests where a salary
of $4,000 is considered very modest.
The man whom Mr. Roberts sue
ceeds made his fame in Washington.
He was James H. Eckles, controller of
the treasury under President Cleve-
land. He resigned in 1898 to accept
the presidency Of the Commercial
bank, and he held the post to the time
Of his death recently.
Another controller of the treasury
Edward S. Lacey, looked to Chicago
like the kind OF stuff of which finan-
ciers are made, and he was attracted
from Washington to assume control
Of the Bankers National bank. This
was fifteen years ago, but his services

to that of Mr.. Gage.
He had made money in Iowa and
had been elected governor Of the state.
But his fame as handler of millions
had by no means gone to the utter
most ends of the earth, when in 1902,
President Roosevelt decided that he
was the man to put in charge of the
treasury building.
At that time the appointment was
even somewhat criticised, for some of
the presidents enemies accused him
of desiring to remove a formidable
presidential aspirant by making Mr..
Shaw a member of his official family.
But the new secretary proved he
had an admirable equipment for the
place, and in all the problems he
faced, acquitted himself with credit.
Those who said that Mr.. Shaw was
only country banker had to revise
their ideas. There was no lack of
force or originality in his administra-
ton. During the time the RESPONSE
bility Of handling the country's
finance was in his hands, there came
serious disturbances. Every one of
these emergencies saw him emerging

The effect of overproduction began to
be felt about eight years ago. Large
companies went into the business of
winemaking, and not only increased
the output enormously, but with their
superior facilities reduced prices and
forced smaller concerns to the wall.
In the year 1904, when the business
reached it's climax, France produced
more than three billion gallons of
wine, as much as the remainder of
the world put together.
In any other country, the peasant,
while grieved over his lost business,
would have accepted his misfortune
philosophically, and gone into the en-
ploy Of the big companies.
