ing the colon and the appendix, be-

When the symptoms of the trouble
make their appearance, would it not be
good, practical, common sense, to dis
continue the starchy food which is
causing the trouble and take a food in
which the starch has beea transformed
into form of sugar in the process Of
manufacture?
This is identically the same form Of
sugar found in the human body after
starch has been perfectly digested.
Now, human food Is made up very
largely of starch and is required by the
body for energy and warmth. Natural
ly, therefore, its use should be contin-
ued, if possible. and for the reasons
given above it Is made possible in the
manufacture of Grape Nuts.
In connection with this change Of
food to bring relief from physical dis
turbances, we have suggested washing

Naturally, there are cases where the

measures are far and away the best.
Are we to be condemned for suggest

From the windows of the house the
officers watched him run across the road
and climb the wall. He made his way
quickly to the nearest sufferer, raised the
poor fellows head on his arm. and gave
him long draught of cool water.
From one he went to another until his

 Frank Graf.
(By Frank ]. Graf.J

The market continues to be ! very quiet one. The public is not taking the usual interest, as they expect stocks to decline further. and are waiting their opportunity to buy up stocks at their own figure. Low priced stocks seem to be the feature to a certain extent-Wolverine SS Ari. zona. Butte & Arizona, and Bisbee Extension. Wolverine at s2 ought to be a fair speculation, and do not thlnS the coming call will affect the stock to amount to anything. Butte & Arizona we hear very little about, as the place is somewhat distant ana we are unable to keep in close toncn with the property. I understand that there is to be change made in the directorship. and many other min or changes, within the very near flu. ture Bisbee Extension, candidIy believe to be one of the very best loR priced stocks on the board The samples of rock that has been brouht in indicate that there is ore in that section of the country, and that there will be mine in due time. At the present writing $hey are down over 200 feet, and we do not think that there is a better shaft in the coun- try. Sales have been made at g. per share by many that are impatient and can not wait. I personally be- ieye that within the next ninety days there will be marked change both in the property and the price of the stock.

 -'The most pronounced decnne mas been witnessed in Butte & Arizona, which sold as low as 93 cents on small transactions on the board to- day. It is difficult to satisfactorily ac- count for this movement, except on the theory that the steady decline in this stock has unsettled confidence and caused many who bought the stock at 50 cents to endeayor to dis pose Of their holdings while they still have a profit. From all we can learn of the property it is now in bet ter physical condition than it has ever been, and we fail to discern any cause for apprehension. The conclusion is naturally forced on one that the stock was either greatly inflated when 1t sold at $500 per share few muntns ago. or it is remarkably cheap at the present time. It is believed that this stock has largely passed from the hands of the original holders, and that it should within a very short time have a remarkable recovery"

LOS ANGELES MEN IN SONORA
 HEAVILY
Old Spanish Mines Are Attract ive-MiIIions of American Capital Invested in Mexican State Large Production.

LOS ANGELES, May 23.-It is a mistake for American investors to be lieye that good mining properties are going aebegging in Mexico. Good mines can be secured if they are sought in the proper manner and there is also capital there on the ground, both local and foreign, ready for legitimate enterprises. Sales and purchases of rich mining properties are made frequently. but, like any other healthy business deal, they are not made with the flourish of trump. cts and beating of drums which at. tracts the attention of the average reader of sensations.
 Rich old Spanish properties uual Were abandoned for reasons peculiar to the conditions of the times have been equipped with modern piacA... cry competent to cope with those con, ditions. and the propertiec have be. come handsome paying investments without attracting particular atten- tion. The mine that was aDanconed because the water could not be hand. led is now equipped with an electric pump which does the business. and the electric hoists can bring up the ore from the level that the old oper- ator would have thought impractica- ble to work. thus giving access to the wealth that is there and always has been there. It may be surprise to some eastern readers and appear hard to believe, but it Is fact that mining in Mexico is not looked upon as a speculation put as an industry, and as such is entitled to dignity and respect.
 The state of Sonora, situated south of the territory of Arizona, Is rapidly coming to the front as a great mineral producers. For the past five years American capital has been flowing into that country, opening up new mines and working the old mihvs once worked by the ancients-with our modern machinery and ways of treating the ores these mines have proven to be profitable investments. It is estimated from reliable data that there Is at present more than s37 300, 600 of American capital oper- ating in Sonora, on which the mines are paying more than 20 per cent per annurn in dividends.
 The climatic conditions of that country are most favorable to the miner, being able to work every day in the year, and the mining laws of Mexico are the most reasonable of any country ip the world. The coun- uaN is considered by mining men to
 2se best mineralized of any ex- faisf today; the lodges are well de fined and easily traceable- Labor is good and reasonable-no strikes per mitted in that country--in fact, min ing can be done for one-half of what it costs in this country.
