NEVER TihGS
OF the Food That Restored Her tc
Health.

"My food was killing me and didn't
know the cause" writes a Colo. young
lady. "For two years 1 was thin and
sickly. suffering from indigestion and
inf1ammatory rheumatism.
Il had tried different kinds of diet,
plain living, and many of the remedies
recommended, but got TO better.
Finally, about five weeks ago,
mother suggested that / try Grape
Nuts, and l began at once, eating it
with little cream or milk. A change
for the better began at once.
To-day l 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 81
gone.
II 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
return to. normal health and mental
activity. There's reason" Read

MANY SOURCES OF SALT,
That from Natural Springs Is Gener.
ally Most Nearly Pure.

The purity of salt depends upon the
source from which it is obtained and
the sanitary conditions under which
it 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, 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 it is again handled, then
packed in coarse burlap bags, permit
ting dust to sift into the salt. In this
condition it 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 40,-
100000 bushels, the state of New York
In the vicinity of Syracuse furnishing
a large proportion of this important
supply.

From the nations capital to Alaska
is far reach. Crossing the Alleghe-
nies through the mining regions of
Pennsylvania, so picturesque except
where defaced by mans grimy pur-
suits; through busy Chicago; rushing
over the western plains; across the
Rockies and we find ourselves on the
evening of the fifth day at Seattle,
embarking on the steamship Humboldt
for the famous inland passage.
Here on the ship l am surprised
to see how many women are travel
ing to Alaska. OF course, the inland
passage has been a favorite trip for
Is years or more, but the large pro-
portion Of women among the excur-
sionists, many of them in parties of
two or three without escorts, indi-
Gates that conditions have materially
improved in this part of the world.
In fact, the ease and comfort with
which we travel greatly astonish me.
Late on the third day we reach
Juneau, opposite which is Douglas is
land and the great Treadwell gold
mine. 1t is remarkable that the larg-
est stamp mill in the world should be
found in this wild. = An act of con-
gress made Juneau the capital Of
Alaska. The town is built on the side
of hill SO steep that the houses seem
to be hanging from it. Back Of this
rises sharp range of higher hills
that form barrier protecting the
town from the frequent snow ava
lanches of the great mountains, which,
in turn, rise perpendicularly behind
this natural wall.
AS illustrating the weather of Ju-
neau, it is said that an old Indian
woman, on being asked If it always
rained in Juneau, after a moments
hesitation, replied: Sometimes it
SHOWS" 1t was raining as we entered
the harbor, but we were not deferred
from a stroll through the town. We
found good plank walks and saw some
quaint, artistic little houses and sew
erais churches with an effort at archi- !
lecture. l was struck by the frequent |
evidence of woman's hand in the pot |
ted plants in many windows, while
the women and children whom we |
saw surprised me by being quite like
those one would meet in any small |
western town.
Skagway resembles Juneau in the |
character of its rough frame build |
ings, but there are fewer indications |
OF wOman's taste. One good stone |
building attracted our attention. We |
were particularly struck with the evil
dence of precautfon against fire, of
which there Is great dread IN Alas
kan towns. There is an army post
here and the soldiers have acted as
firemen very efficiently. In many in
stances. We attended the Episcopal
service. which was held in a small
room over store in one of the rough
buildings peculiar to Alaska. There
were about 80 persons in the congre-
cation. A small parlor organ was

The Presidential Echo.

Senator Beveridge is so anxious to
be thought close to the administration
that he takes up at second hand all
the suggestions of the president. But
as president Roosevelt often changes
his mind very rapidly 1t is rather diff
cult for Beveridge to act as echo. sHe
got left on the Cuban annexation echo,
and he may find that the presidential
shouting about the confiscation Of
great fortunes will die down until no
echo Is left. But if the president
should join the socialists his faithful
echo will be in the neighborhood. But
It is a dangerous pastime.

CREATING New Offices.

The new senator from Kansas Is In
high favor with the Republican ma.
chine that runs the distribution of Of.
fetal patronage in the senate, as they
view him as an addition to the "safe
and sane" contingent of that body.
Those safe and sane Republican pa
triots did not, however, propose to re-
ward the newcomer at the expense of
their own share of the political graft,
so they invented new committee
the Commerce on Documents-so
that Senator Benson could employ
messenger at $1,440 year. The fol-
lowing colloquy shows how easy it Is
to reward Republican virtue that is
trust and corporation inclined:
How old Is the committee?" in.
CURED Senator Culberson.
Without telling the committees age
or describing it's functions, Senator
Kean replied, somewhat evasively,
but withal bluntly:
'It was created for the benefit of
the senator from Kansas, Mr.. Benson"
What is the necessity for it?" per.
sisted Mr. Culberson.
'The purpose was to place the sena-
tor from Kansas on level with other
majority senator's, all of whom have
messengers" replied Senator Kean.
If you are out of job and want
soft snap, with but little to do, ask
either of the Republican senators from
your state to appoint you as messen.
ger. Don't be put off because they say
there is no vacancy, for the machine
can create a new Office at any time il
so inclined.

Hill Escapes Taxes.

NEW YORK, March 1.-THE nom
resident tax list, a new feature this
year in the tax department., will not
be as big on April l "a it vas when
the books were first opened to public
inspection. If the swearing of of
property ownership keeps up at the
rate maintained for the last month or
so there will be less than half the
names on the list that were there orig
inally. Thirty per cent. of the prop.
erty wners whose names appeared on
this particular roll have sworn off.
Chief among those who have sworn
off large sums is James J. Hill, rail.

The Pr0gress of the Negro.

BY WILLIAM T. VERNON 0olored). REGISTER Of the Tre"uryo Of thu
United States
~HE progress of the negro in America since the emancipation
is WITHOUT PARALLEL in the history of the world.
The spirit of the A~ngloSaxon for progress along all lines
has been exhibited by his former slaves, and the manhood
and INDESTRUCTIBIE WORTH which these former slaves have
exhibited should appeal for fair treatment to the manhood of every
American. To argue that education should be denied him is to argue
against the best interests of the government. Our best citizenship Is
that which knows its rights and is accorded them, which knows its
duty and performs it. IGNORANCE = in a country such as ours can
not be made the mother Of devotion, which is another name for pa
tiotism, upon which rests the safety of the republic. Ii war the
negro has a record of which he is not ashamed.
Let us not be content on on past efforts for race security. Let
our accomplishments of the past be a guarantee of our future efforts
The strongest of the race should help the weakest. those VINO
see the light should point the way to those who see 1T not. we should
seek to reform those of the race whose tread has been other than up
ward. To go among these with the spirit of Christ, showing them
their weakness and convincing them of their errors, is not only a duty
to them, but to ourselves.
THE MORAL EVOLUTION OF MAN HAS BEEN BUT A coNsE'
oUENT STEP IN THE MARCH OF PROGRESS. LEARNING MORE
OF THE RIGHT, DUTY INCUMBENT DEMANDS THAT he DO MORE

Switzerland and America

BY EDOUARD MULLER. Preident Il Switzerland.
HERE are only two points on which the relations of Switzer-
land and the United States might be improved. These are
the commercial and emigration questions, and they are mat
tiers which perhaps cannot be arranged by the United States
ONESIDEDLY. We have IN active trade with the United States as
much as with France. Last year we exported %$5,Ooo,ooo worth of
goods to the United States and received $11 400, 900 worth, but while
we paid about so per cent of the value of our goods in duties we only
raised a very small import duty in Switzerland on American goods
about / per cent. Surely under these conditions a COMMERCIAL.
TREATY between Switzerland and the United States seems desirable.
I do not agree with the pesimiNs who believe that the United
States has reached the zenith of its prosperity. I have a deep convic-
TURE.
DO NOT SHARE THE APPREHENsloNsF FELT IN SOME QUARTERS
OF AN IMPENDING CONFLICT BETWEEN THE UNITED STATES AND

In

BY LESLIE N. SHAW,
Secretary Of the Treas
ury ythc United States.
America.

- HE first piece of land I ever owned any interest in was $50
acres south of my town. Ny law partner and I got $3.50
together and bought a quarter section at So an acre. We
broke it out, plowed it and rented it and were able to get
interest on the cost and the cost of improvements. Then
we sold it. That land was just as productive then a 81 is now, and we
were glad to get interest on SO an acre, plus the cost Of improvements.
but the rascal who owns it now has watered the stock until he wants to
get interest on $75 an acre! There's over $40 an acre watered-UN-
EARNED INCREMENT.
Of the matches wealth Of this country, over a hundred billions,
Is per cent of it is UNEARNED. We buy forests and no one ex-
poets a man to sell the lumber at what it cost him. Oh, then, you can
have three or four fold on what you pay for i7 Of this wonderful de-
velopment there is much unearned.
If any one asked me the distinctive characteristic of the American
citizen, 1 should say it is JUDICIAL MINDEDNESS. I am going
to cast that into the solution of these great problems that will be ours
to solve, but somehow the American people are going to do Justly,
and we are going to say that we will divide this three-quarters of what
we are worth SO THAT EACH FELLOW SHALL HAVE A
LITTLE MORE THAN HE EARNS-a little share of the un-
earned increment. l do not know how much. I cannot sit down and
figure it out with a pencil, but we will say to the man who owns the
forests, You can have somewhat more than a return o n your money,
but we will say to no one, You can control and do just as you please.
We will not say to the railroad, You can charge whatever you please
SIMPLY BECAUSE THE RAILROAD is THERE.
We have settled the question within five O six years that no one of
Uncle Sans children ever gets % big that he may not be taken out on
the front porch and punished rs small boys are sometimes punished.
But we don't want to take the big boys out on the front porch and
punish them FOR THE BENEFIT OF THE NEIGEBORS. Cor
poral punishment in the family is an excellent thing, provided the
recipient knows for what. the punishment is administered and that it is
done with justice and with certainty and then forgotten. But you let it
be understood that every time John comes in he is to be licked JUST
BECAUSE HE is JOHN, then you have destroyed the good of it.
We must be conservative and careful, as we. as Jealous of our rights.
We have developed until we have the best railroad system in the
world. The roads need more tracks. One of the greatest railroad men
of the time told me W e needed 10000 miles more track, without count
ing terminals, to carry the freight.
We are proud of our export trade. We grow threcquarters Of the
cotton of the world, and the world has NO OTHER PLACE TO
GO FOR RAW MATERIAL except the United States.
IT DOES NOT TAKE AN INTERNATIONAL MERCHANT TO SELL
NO OTHER PLACE TO GO FOR IT. THE WORLD HAS NEVER
SIX MONTHS FOOD IN ADVANCE OF WHAT IT WANTS.
