Skin Disease from Birth-Fortune

"I have cousin In Rockingham Co.

her to get her cured and none of the
treatments did her any good. Old

NEVER TIRES
OF the Food That Restored Her to
Health.

my food was killing me and didn't
know the cause" writes a Colo. young
lady. For two years l was thin and
sickly, suffering from indigestion and
inflammatory rheumatism.
Il had tried different kinds of diet,
plain living, and many of the remedies
recommended, but got no better.
Finally. about five weeks ago.
mother suggested that l try Grape
Nuts, and began at once, eating it
with little cream or milk. A change
for the better began at once.
To-day | am well and am gaining
weight and strength all the time. I've
gained 10 lbs. in the last five weeks
and do not suffer any more from indi-
gestion and the rheumatism is all
gone.
Il know it is to Grape-Nuts alone
that l owe my restored health. still
eat the food twice day and never tire
of It," Name given by Postum Co.,
Battle Creek, Mich.
The flavor of Grape-Nuts is peculiar
to itself. 1t is neutral. not too sweet
and has an agreeable. healthful quail
ity that never grows tiresome.
One of the sources of rheumatism
is from overlooking the system with
acid material, the result of imperfect
digestion and assimilation.
AS soon as improper food is aban-
doned and Grape-Nuts is taken regu-
larly, digestion is made strong, the or
gans do their work of building up good
red blood cells and of carrying away
the excess of disease-making material
| from the system.
The result is certain and steady

MANY SOURCES OF SALT.
That from Natural Springs Is oener-
ally Most Nearly Pure.

The purity OF salt depends upon the
source from which 1t is obtained and
the sanitary conditions under which
1t is prepared for the market. The
supply OF common salt, the most in
dispensable OF all the seasoning sub
stances both as relishing condiment
and a well-nigh universal food pre-
servative. is exhaustless. yet even SO
there is salt and salt. says the Pic
torial Review.
Formerly salt was obtained by evap-
Grating ocean water, a process that
left many impurities in the residuum
to say nothing OF its exposure to all
kinds of dirt in its shipment from sea-
ports. The Turks island or rock salt,
which is still largely used in pork
packing and In the manufacture of ice
creams, comes to the United States
In holds of vessels continually sub
jected to dirt and foul odors. Upon
its arrival 1t is again handled. then
packed in coarse burlap bags. permit
ting dust to sift into the salt. In this
condition 1t reaches the consumer.
Latterly, however. the product of
salt springs has largely taken the lead
in this country not only for table salt
but for meat packing. The annual
production from this source in the
United States reaches more than 49,
600. 900 bushels, the state of New York
In the vicinity Of Syracuse furnishing
a large proportion of this important
supply.

heiskeII's Ointment
Cures Skin Diseases

For half O century Heiskelrs Ointment has
been used in all cases of skin disease with
most gratifying results. Many have become
entirely cured who had suffered untold pain
and annoyance for years. One man in New
Baltimore, Pa, writes that 1t cured him when
he was raw all over. A lady In Philadelphia
cured n case of letter OF six years standing
in fourteen days, while q man In Allentown,
Pa, cured his cnsc of eczema that had trou-
bled him for eleven years with less than two
boxes of the ointment. These and hundreds
of others have found that Heiskelrs Oint-
ment IL worth moro than its weight In gold.
Being q purely vegetable preparation, Heis-
kelrs Ointment soothes and heals where
others fail. 1t ailays the itching and burn
ing common to all skin disease, and all yield
quickly to its magic influence.
There are many varieties of skin diseases
with confusing titles, but they are all suscep-
tible to one and the same cure-ue els ellis

as In erysipelast eczema, etc; tho liver should
be toned to healthy action and the blood and
all the secretions purified. In all cases of
skin disease cures are hastened by tho use of
Heiskelrs Medicinal Soap before applying the

tains in a modified form the medicinal prop
larly effective in slight disorders of the skin,

POTS AND KETTLES MAY
YET BECOME LUXUR|ES
General Advance in Price
Ordered by Dealers in
Hardware

There is a social war in the kitchen.
Pots and kettles, weary of calling each
other black and jealous of the heights
attained by beef. butter and eggs. have
decided to advance on their own ac-
count. While In the past they have
been cheap necessities. henceforth they
may be rated as expensive luxuries.
The announcement went out yester-
day that a general raise had been or
dered by hardware dealers in all ar
ticles into which enter iron or steel.
In the list of articles advanced in price
is everything from iron piping and
building material to household utensils.
In the list are certain types of bath
tub, so 1t would appear that the trust,
having cornered so many markets, is
seeking to monopolize cleanliness.
Though cleanliness may be next to god
illness. 1t does not appear that Wall
street contemplates the acquisition OF
the supply of the latter.
It is explained in behalf of the gem
eral advance In prices that the East
ern mills are unable to meet the de-
mands made by the Pacific Coast for
material of iron and steel. The orders
for building material for San Francisco
cannot be met in full at this time and
a general restriction has been made In
the allotment for the Pacific Coast A
shortage has, therefore, become newt
able and the hardware men have al
ready felt the pinch OF the steel trust
AS a result they have decided to ad-
vance prices from to 10 per cent on
some articles.

NOTES SAN FRANC|sC0's
LOVE FOR GRAND OPERA
Marcus Mayer, the Veteran
Inpresario, Proud of
Golden Gate City

Marcus r. Mayer, the veteran i'm
presario, is again in San Francisco,
still wearing his broad -brimmed tile
and looking as genial as ever. His
visits to the scene OF his early activ-
ity have been few OF late, but though
he has not been here for a long time
1T is evident that age cannot wither"
him. He is here IN the interests of
the San Carlo Grand Opera Company,
and is enthusiastic over the prospect
of presenting grand opera to an audi
ence as interested as that Of San Fran
cisco.
Il am proud Of my old town." said
Mayer yesterday, for its reception OF
worthy opera, which invariably has
been enthusiastic. Whenever ] have
been here with Patti or other artists
the response OF San Francisco has al
ways been genuine and immediate, and
I am sure II will not fail me this time.
The San Carlo opera Company has just
completed a prosperous engagement at
the Covent Garden Theater, London.
The American tour was begun with a
long season in New Orleans, and we
have had a two weeks engagement in
Chicago. Among our singers are sucn
artists as Nine. Nordica and Alice
Nielsen. Miss Nielsen, you know, Of
course. is a San Francisco girl. She
has made wonderful advances lately
under the tuition of Henry Russell.
In certain roles Of the italian opera
she is not surpassed by any singer
now living. Our repertoire will in
clude everything outside of Wagner.
/ am sure that San Francisco, as usual,
will appreciate a good cast and stand
ard operas. Our present intention is
20 give a season in San Francisco every
year"

SOUTHERN OREGON WILL

Anticipating the Railroads,
Eastern Capitalists
Are Plunging

The completion OF the railroad which
the Southern Pacific is building from
Weed, a station on the Oregon and Cal
ifornia, TO klamath Falls. will be fol-
lowed by a remarkable development in
all the counties of Oregon bordering
on California
Within the past few weeks H. A.
Hunter, an Eastern capitalist, has pur-
chased SOC, 900 acres in the counties OF
klamath, Lake, Harney and Malheur
clear to the Idaho line. The territory
purchased by him begins north of the
klamath Indian reservation and to the
northeast of Crater Lake. Coming
south a vast stretch of land has been
bought southeast of the reservation and
to the border Of Idaho.
All this country needs is a railroad
and the Southern Pacific would have
had a line into klamath Falls by this
time II II had not been delayed by the
want of men and the difficulty of get
ting material The line to klamath
Falls is to be extended north and con-
meet with the Eastern branch OF the
Southern Pacific from Portland to
Natron.
This means that Portland will be con-
nected with San Francisco with three
lines. There will be one following
the coast, passing through Mendocino
and Humboldt counties; the present
Oregon and California, and the one on
the east from Weed. via Natron tc
Portland. 1t means that Oregon foI
many years will be dominated by Har-
