ROSY TEACHERS
Look Better In the School Room Than
 the SalioW Sort.


 Young folks naturally like comedy ob- jects, and a good looking. healthy teach CT can do vastly more with pupils, every thing else considered. than the skinny, dyspeptic teacher can. The instructor In Latin and mathematics in a young ladies' seminary. had an experience worthy the attention of any teacher
 She kept running down little more each year until finally genuine case of nervous prostration set in and she was confined to her bed for eight months, perfect wreck physically and mentally. She and her friends thought it was due to overwork, but she now knows 1t was due to improper food.
 Of course the physicians were called in, but there is almost nothing that can be done in such cases except to rely on well selected food and proper care. She was put upon Grape-Nuts, all medicines, also tea, coffee, and iced drinks were taken away She had Postum Food Coffee once a day. The larger part of her food was Csrape-Nuts, for this food is made with special reference to rebuilding the gray matter in the brain and nerve centers
 The lady says: "I had been reduced to a5 pounds in weight when I began using Grape-Nuts. The new food was so de- licious and strengthening that l felt new life at once. I have now developed into a perfectly healthy. happy, stout woman. weighing 135 pounds. the greatest weight ever attained, and have wonderfully clear fresh. rosy complexion. instead of the sallow, bilious hue of the past.

Creek Restrictions Removed.

Tulsa, I. T., May 2S.-Judge William R. Lawrence of the Western District of Indian Territory decided the inter vention of Joseph H. Tiger, a Creek freedman, in the case against s. s. Teele. Tiger claimed he was of In- dian blood and under disability as to the right to dispose of his land. He had formerly given warranty deed to the property in question. The court held that Tigers enrolment was con elusive. that the restriction on aliena- tion of his land has been removed by act of Congress of 1904 The decision is far-reaching, affecting 5000 Creek freedmen and removing restrictions from barter and sale of S00,000 acres of land in the Creek nation.

HUBBARD DEFENDS
 COTTON EXCHANGE
SaySlCharges of False CIaSSif-
 ton Are Untrue
ACTION OF PRICE AND:S. c. A..
New York Exchange Denies In Toto Charges That Classifying Commit tee Allows an Unsalable
 Grade to Be Used.

New York, May 2S.-President Walter C. Hubbard tonight made public a defense of the system of classification practced
 by the New York cotton exchange. His statement, which he says constitutes the first official expression of the exchange on the subject, is a general denial of the charges of over classifying made in the action recently instituted against the ex change by T. H. Price and the Southern Cotton association. The statement in part follows:
 ''The charge made by MT. Price and by the Southern Cotton association that the classification committee of the New York exchange has systematically over classed cotton so as to make it deliverable on
 exchange contract on higher basis than
 it's grade would warrant, is absolutely
 and unqualihedly false.
 '"fhe attorney for the New York cotton , exchange, Henry W. Taft. has in his pos session for use in the Price action, af- , tidavits from many of the leading cotton merchants of the country. These afti- davits show clearly that the cotton de- livered to the merchants in question un- der the rules of the New York cotton eX- change has been uniformly up to the es- abolished standard. They show that the
 
 honest and intelligent and that the num- Der of claims made with the exchange for errors in classification, have amounted
 for many years, to less than one-twelfth of one per cent of the total number of bales inspected and classified by the com mittee
 "As a matter of fact, the only com plaints. which have reached the exchange are from cotton merchants, who com plained because the cotton shipped here for delivery on contract by them has been 1 classed too high. The merchants making l these affidavits, including firms which | have received and shipped many thou l sands of bales of cotton classed by the ] New York cotton exchange. declare that 1 the system of classifying is the fairest
 and best in existence in any cotton ex- l change in the world
 "The New York cotton exchange denies 1 specifically and in toto the charges that ! it's classification committee has engaged 1 in the practice of over classifying cotton, l so that unstable grades might be util- | ized for clearing contracts on the ex- ] change The exchange never has and will 1 not now tolerate over classification or cotton shipped to this market The record of the classification committee shows l such accuracy and fairness in it's work , that merchants and spinners, though not l members of the exchange, are continually 1 submitting to it for decision their dis | putes regarding. classification"

 The annual concert last night at the Birmingham seminary reflected great credit upon the music department; it rep resented the most advanced pupils and was a really musical event. The pro gramme was both well arranged and well executed. The first part consisted of sev- eral vocal and instrumental numbers and the second part was given up entirely to a cantata by the chorus class. The open ing number, the brilliant Weber Over ture to Oberon," played as a quartet, inn mediately aroused the enthusiasm of the audience. There were several other con certed numbers and each was played in splendid style. A duo, a difficult Saint Saen arrangement of the Beethoven theme and variations, opus 35, was rem dered by Misses Sewall and Hood with ease and with masterful understanding and appreciation. In the solo works, Miss Mary Rathff's interpretation of Bendels. Tn the Moonlight" was very artistic, and Miss Clara Thompson playel theme and variations, opus g, Weber, with technical skill that developed well the interwoven melody. Miss Zaidie Rogers sang "The Bobolink" in clear, strong voice and with a charm of manner we'll suited to the merry song. Of course, the singing of "Old Kentucky Home ap pealed to the audience as only the folk songs can appeal.
 The cantata, "The Golden Legacy" given by the full chorus class, was beau tiful; the choral parts were splendid-the voices well harmonized and thoroughly trained. The solo parts were exceedingly well taken and blended delightfully."- with the ensemble. Miss Willie Montana has remarkably pure, strong voice and the rich, lyric quality of Mrs Burns tones was well suited to the part she sang. Some of the other soloists, all of whom had delightful voices, were Misses Spears. Rogers, Pettyjohn, Ferguson, Shelton and Mrs. Glass.
 The entire programme was not only enjoyable, but indicative of the real depth of the work done by the music depart ment, under the instruction of Miss Hat tie Morton, Mrs. Severin and Miss Sally Watson Carr, as head teachers.

PerunA should be kept in the house all

nick, then send to drug store. But,
have Peruna on hand-accept no sub
stttute.
Children are especially liable to acute
catarrh. Indeed, most Of the affections
Of childhood are catarrh.
All forms Of sore throat, quinsy,
Group, hoarseness, laryngitis, ETC., are
but different phases OF catarrh.
Pe-ru-na Contains No Narcotics.
One reason why Peruna has found per
manent use in so many homes is that it
contains no narcotic Of any kind.
Peruna, If taken according to printed
directions, is perfectly harmless. Itcan
be useo any length Of time without
acquiring . drug habit. 1t does not
produce temporary results, but it is per-
manent in its effect.
1t has no bad effect upon the system,
and gradually eliminates catarrh by re-
moving the cause Of catarrh.
