DR. TALKS OF FOOD
Pres. of Board of Health.

'What shall I eat?" is the daily in. Quiry the physician is met with. I do not hesitate to say that in my judg- ment, large percentage of disease is caused by poorly selected and improp- erly prepared food. My personal ex- perience with the fully-cooked food, known as Grape-Nuts, enables me to speak freely of its merits.
 From overwork, I suffered several yea, s with malnutriton, palpitation of the heart, and loss of sleep. Last summer I was led to experiment per sonally with the new food, which I used in conjunction with good rich cows milk. In a short time after 1 commenced it's use, the disagreeable symptoms disappeared, my hearts ac- tion became steady and normal, the functions of the stomach were proper ly carried out and I again slept as soundly and as well as in my youth.
 q look upon Grape-Nuts as per feet food, and no one can gainsay but that it has most prominent place in a rational. scientific system of feeding. Any one who uses this food will soon be convinced of the soundness of the principle upon which it is manufac. tured and may thereby know the facts os to it's true worth" Read, "The Road to Wellville." in pkgs.

GOLD IS NOT GOOD IN CHINA.
What Money Is Depends Upon the
 Locality, Says a Traveller.

Tt is hard to define just what money is," said Representative Julius Kahn, of San Francisco, recently: "At best, it seems to be relative term that is, what passes for money in one part of the world is regarded with sus- picion at some other place.
 Cold is supposed to be the one cir culating medium that passes current everywhere, but it is not true. In the far east, for instance, the natives posi- lively refuse to take anything but silver Gold is not money to them and in Washington or New York or any of the cities along the Atlantic coast when I hand man a ten dollar or $20 gold piece to change he looks upon me with suspicion. He almost says fin so many words that h4 would rather not have it. But let me hand out worn and dirty bill and he ac- cepts it without looking at it.

quently the people are not accus toned to them Go into bank in San Francisco and tender a $50 bill for change. The chances are that the president of the bank and the entire staff of officials would be called into consultation as to it's genuineness and I doubt if there is store in the town where a bill would be accepted and changed offhand. We are all creatures of habit and custom rules the world after all.
 'The silver coins in circulation in China,'' Mr Kahn continued, "are ob- jects of curiosity to foreigners In China the coinage of money is let to private parties and the amount of sill yer in coin depends largely on the personal honesty of the man in charge of the particular mint. On this ac- count each coin as it passes araund in circulation has to be stamped with the initials of the merchant last having it in his possession. The last man stamping the coir is held responsible for any shortage in weight in the coin. The result is that the coins from repeated stampiags, resemble small saucers and each one fits into

days in contemplation of the here

days in contemplation of the here after. There, life was much like unto death. There was fresh air in abund- ance. All of nature lavishly spent it's beauty over the country and the town, and even the weeds on the streets were allowed to spring up, bloom and reach maturity without interruption by the scythe or the sicle.
 Within a year the Retired Business Man had regained much of his old time spirit and health. Habits of ac- tivity and love of business impelled him to once again seek work that would keep his mind occupied He loved the old town. He saw that it needed new life. He figured out taat there were 600 farmers in the neigh borhood. Each farmer surely spent $50 month somewhere for supplies. This meant total of $30,OOO a month; $360,000 a year. Then the few hun dred people in the town would add other thousands to the volume of busi- ness. Why not build a great store and supply the wants of the people? He would spend some money and build up the town. He bought half block on which three of the stores stood. He erected large brick building, and soon he had installed in it great stocks of goods. Other merchants in the town shook their heads The Public Spirited Man was certainly crazy. Farmers when they came to town looked up the big building with won- der.

Contract Let For Fifteen Miles.

Railroad Company has let the contract for the construction of 15 miles of rail road extending out of Helena, which will be known as the Missouri and North Arkansas railroad. The con work will be commenced at once. It is very probable that the company will be granted the contract for the completion of the line as soon as the 15 miles are completed. It is the in- tention to have the road completed by fall in order that the line may be in operation in time for fall traffic.

Strenuous business life and assid- ious attention to the accumulation of capital without vacation, caused him to suffer from what the doctors pro- nounced neurasthenia, and advised total rest from mental effort. The man had labored too diligently in amass- ing money. Residence in a quiet place was recommended and retirement from all commercial worries. The Great Merchant sold his vast interests to a combine, and after careful thought, concluded that he would seek rest and a renewal of health in the town where he at one time attended the little red schoolhouse, and where in childish inn agination he would be powerful and famous by becoming chairman of the village board. Accordingly he retired from the city, purchased the old home stead where he was reared and picked potatoes, and also built a residence and became a Great Factor in the town Time had made few changes in the landscape. Buildings and streets were the same, only showing the rav- ages of decay. The old stores were in possession of the descendants of the owners who conducted them when he was a boy. They were not doing the business that they should. One great innovation was the town had a rail road. All about was suggestive of peace It was an ideal place for man who desired to pass his declining

A STORY WITH A MORAL
One Public Spirite- Citizen Who Realized the Big Possibilities and Cultivated the Field E Ad-
 vantage.

Once upon time there was Man, who in his youth was reared upon a farm located near a Small Town of Great Promise, Two weeks in each year when he was not saving wood, feeding the stock or picking potatoes, he was allowed to attend the little red schoolhouse in the town. By hard la bor during the day, and consistently reading a few old books which were heirlooms in his family, and each week absorbing the intelligence contained in the Weekly Mirror, he, by the time he could mark down his age at IS years, had accumulated sufficient knowledge to run away from home.

He is tai and broad of chest

He is tall and broad of chest that few, to look at him, would have believed that he could have contract ed such cold. Ie was one of those colds which reached right down to the intercostal spaces.
 He awoke the other night in his studio on the top of Carnegie hall, and he was sure that he heard far out on the roofs below the cater wauling of felines in nocturnal fray. He had not seen truly delectable cat fight in years, and in moment he was at the window peering down upon the roofs for inspiration. He scanned the battle-ground up and down and there was not cat in sight.
 Hardly had he crept back into bed than he heard long-drawn-out purr, then snarl and muff1ed meows. The conflict had been shifted to beneath his bed.
 He was sure of it, and so certain that he got up and peered beneath it.
 Tt all came over me like a fash" the artist said in telling of his ex. perience later. T was listening to cat fight in my own bronchials. I had forgotten that had a cold"
 Some of his friends say that he is absent-minded.-N. Y. Herald.

Care of tho Asparagus Bed After Cut

Cutting of the asparagus shoots should not be done after the middle of June in the northern states and should cease little earlier in states of more southern latitude.
 At this time the whole bed, rows and a1l should be thoroughly culti- vated fully three inches deep. Pre-. vious to this the application of barn. yard manure is advocated by some growers, but some of our most noted experiment stations and most exten- sive growers of the product near New York city and Philadelphia strongly recommend the application of com- plete commercial fertilizers instead, with summer applications of nitrate of soda. 160 lbs. per acre of this lat ter is sufficient and should be applied twice during the growing months.
 It is claimed that manure contains the seeds of noxious weeds which ma- ture and scatter before the aspara- gus tops are matured sufficiently for moving.
 As the asparagus crop is gathered from the early shoots and these are removed continuously for about two months, therefore the roots are very much reduced in vitality when the cut ting season is over and unless plant foods, which are directly available are supplied, there will be a poor growth of top. If the tops grow rapidly and strong, they aid in storing up food in their roots.
 A fertilizer we'll adapted to the needs of asparagus contains Nitrogen ............... 4%o Available Phosphoric acid S%o Actual Potash .......... .10%o One-half ton of this to the acre is not too much, either applied broad cast or along the rows, before the cul- tivating is done.
 Both nitrogen and potash in con- siderable amounts are necessary, or the shoots will lack both fine flavor and crispness. E. A. SEASON.

his great muscular power assisted yo gain for himself a position as Chief Scrubber in large store. He had not acquired the cigarette habit, and his faithfulnesS to his scrubbing brush, and his unwillingness to know all about his employers business, soon at tracted the attention of the Old Man, and at the end of year he was pro- noted to Head Rustler in the shipping dollars a week.
 His disregard for ScoOting when the closing time came, and his total lack of swelled head so pleased the Old Man that from time to time the ambi- tious youth was advanced until at the end of six years he was drawing the biggest salary paid by the house, and soon he was taken in as member of the firm. Age and hard knocks and brushes with the business world de- veloped in him marked business acu- men. He forged to the front as a fnancier and a public spirited citizen. As years passed he prospered. Early and late he was ever looking after his vast business interests. There were times that he longed to be again in the small home town. Often in his youth he dreamed of some day being chairman of the village board. Only once since parting from the old home had he returned, and then to find the town just the same only little more delapidated, and in the weed-Over- grown kilkyard the neglected graves of his good parents.

To Release Eondsmen.

Baxter county citizens in the recent school election voted on the question of releasing County Treasurer Bak- CTS bondsmen of one-third of the loss of $12,000 of the public school money by the failure of the Mountain Home bank year ago. As far as counted, the vote shows a majority in favor of the bondsmen. By dispasing of his property, MT. Baker has made good $3,00O of the loss, leaving $9,o00 un- paid, for which suit has been brought against une bondsmen. The latter are willing to pay half of this amount and the vote was upon the question as to whether the public should as sume the balance of the loss.
