GOOD NATURED AGAIN,
Good Hunor Returns with Change to

For many years / was a constant
sufferer from indigestion and nervous

writes Montana man.
my blood was impoverished, the
vision was blurred and weak, with
moving spots before my eyes, This
was steady daily condition. l grew
ill-tempered, and eventually got so
nervous 1 could not keep my books
posted, nor handle accounts satisfac-
torily. l can't describe my sufferings.
Nothing 1 ate agreed with me, till
one day I happened to notice Grape
Nuts in a grocery store and bought
package, out Of curiosity to know
what it was.
Il liked the food from the very first,
eating it with cream, and now 1 buy
it by the case and use it daily 1
soon found that Grape-Nuts food was
supplying brain and nerve force as
nothing in the drug line ever had done
or could do.
ut wasn't long before I was re-
stored to health. comfort and happi-

food my digestion had been restored,
eyesight is good again, my mental fac

order citizen. If a place is good
enough for a man to live in and to
make his money in, it is good enough
for a man to SPEND HIS MONEY
in Patronize your own town papers,
build them up, and they will build
your town up in increased trade and
greater opportunities"
These are the words of wisdom and
foresight from a prudent, patriotic
man. AS it is to-day, these words are
expressive Of the opposite of what
should be in many a country district.
The mail order citizen may think he
is gaining; the truth is he is saving
off the limb upon which he sits. Dis
aster only can follow. The mail or
der citizen makes his money locally
and scatters it abroad in a field where
it is not needed; this is unfair to both
the town and to it's merchants. This
shortsighted citizen complains of the
size and character of his town paper.
at the same time he pursues a policy
which tends to destroy both. Then,
publishers ought to be careful how
they exploit and give publicity to the
mail order houses; even if they are
paid well for the space, it reacts dis
astrously ON the towns best pros

Let men stand by the local mer-
chant let them protect his interests,
for they thus further their own. The
town that made the man should be
made by the man. This is fair to all
Let men ponder well this truth, that
we are all interdependent; that the

How Water Acts.

Water contracts as it falls from
the normal boiling point, PIP de,
grees, until it reaches thirty-nine de
grees. Below that degree it expands;
and at t~hirty-two degrees, the freez'
ing point, 1t will expand enough tc
burst pipes and vessels holding it.
When the pressure of the air il
below normal, water boils at a lower
temperature than PIP degrees. Thi,
is noticed before a rain, when the ba.
rometer shows by a falling mercur!
a decreased air pressure. This also
explains why water boils away NOR,

ature in the mountains, where the
pressure of the air is less than on the
seacoast or in the valleys. II sugar
or salt is added to water the temper
allure of the boiling point is raised Z
few degrees. AS a rule, as water IL
heated it will hold a greater amour
of substance in solution. A familia;
exception is the fact that ice water
will dissolve twice as much lime a.
boiling water. At the other extreme
boiling water will dissolve seventeen
times as much saltpetre as will colt
water. But water varies in its solv
ent powers regardless of heat. On.
pound of water will hold two poundl
of sugar in solution, but only two
ounces of common salt.

Hudson Bay Route to Europe.

The Canadian Government and
people are greatly interested by the
possibility of a short haul of Canadian
grain to Hudson Bay, whence it could
be taken to Europe by ship. The al
tentative routes all involve either
long railroad hauls or a combined
railway haul and a long steamboat
carriage down the lakes.
The Dominion Government has
just published a description of the
cruise OF the Neptune to gain infor.
nation as to the possibilities of a
northern route as an outlet for the
grain crop.
The conclusion is that Hudson
Strait is navigable for ordinary iron
steamships from July 20 to November
/, and this period may be increased,
without much risk, by a week in the
beginning OF the eason and by per.
haps two weeks at the close. The
same dates apply to the navigation Of
Hudson Bay from the strait to Fort
Churchill.
Fort Churchill is practically the
only available harbor as a terminus
for railways from the Northwest or
from Ontario, If the proposal to ex.
tend the Government railways to tide
water is carried out.
The Hudson Bay route would save
1000 miles in transportation, writes
Consul Seyfert from Collingwood, be-
sides a considerable amount of delay
and handling which now take place
in the transportation of grain from
Fort William to the seaboard.
The report points out that the
question Of grain storage presents nc
real difference, because not twenty
per cent. Of the grain at present
reaches the seaboard before the navi,
cation of the year following that in
which it is harvested.-New YorA

DOCTOR MOTHER.

A little blistered thumb to take
With touch of love and make it well

Fhe mother is the very best

Sunshine and air and mothers spell

And helping little lasses, too
Here are three remedies that do
So much more, often than the grave,
Skilled hands that tried so hard to save,
For DR.. Mother, don't you know,
Gives something more than skill-gives so
Much of herself; gives, Oh. so much
|Of loves sweet alchemy of touch!
Upon a little wardroom bed
A little curl encircled head,
A little slender hand and pale,
A little lonesome, homesick wall,
Loved nursing, best of skill and care;
But, oh. behold the wonder there,
When DR.. Mother, bearing sun
From where the wildiug roses run,
Leans down, with hungering love and kiss
There is no medicine like this!
In little child hearts hour of woe,
Pain, ache, or life wounds throb and

The DR.. Mother knows so well
The weaving of loves wonder spell

Just how to cool the fever fires;
Just how much tenderness and cheer
VIII calm the little doubt and fear.
How much of tenderness will ease

choice for a Republican candidate for
President:
Senator Foraker's statement indi-
Gates that he is running for the Presi-

ator has included the two Offices in
this primary contest Secretary Taft's
friends accept the proposition and
will make it a distinct contest: Taft
for the Presidency or Senatorship, or
Foraker for the Presidency or Sena-

IF the Republicans of Ohio by
their votes at the primaries indicate
that they prefer Foraker for the
Presidency or Senatorship Secretary
Taft is eliminated from the political
situation.
IF the people of Ohio indicate Sec
rotary Taft for the Presidency or

are an eye and a hook. Sliding on
the clasp is a spring grip, which holds

The Passing Of Courtroom Oratory.

Inspiration is a lost art in the
courtroom. Nowadays no true law
yer advises, prepares documents or
tries a case without a careful prepar-
alton. Forensic oratory has passed
away. No longer does the crowd
gather in the county courthouse to
listen to and be moved by the wit,
pathos and eloquence of the advocate
as for hours or days he addresses the
jury. The courtroom may be filled,
but it is largely with the ubiquitous
reporters, many Of whom are as des-
titute of tears as Sahara of water and
as callous to emotion as the mum
mied ~sleepers Of Egypt. No longer
is it true that weeping men and
women with handkerchiefs to their
eyes are moved by the eloquence of
counsel. Time is a pressing factor.
Facts rather than eloquence is the
demand.-D. G. Brewer, in Atlantic.

Foster had threatened to take his
