Necessity of a Varied Diet.

A matter of no little importance
in maintaining a god healthy appe-
tite is variety of diet Appetites soon
flag if there is monotonous same
ness in our daily food. An unusual
delicacy will add to the enjoyment
of the whole meal
No meal is complete without bread
or some other wheat food. We may
think we never tire of bread, but
try some radical change and see how
welcome it is. Try National Biscuit
Company's Graham Crackers. The
unbolted wheat of which they are
made is not only delicious but stimu-
lates the appetite and the digestion.
The flavor of the National Biscuit
Company's Graham Crackers is en-
tirely different from the old coarse
kind originally made by DR.. Ora
ham. The same progress which ex-
perience, skill and study have pro-
duced in all the products of this Com
pany has made the Graham Cracker
not only a health food but delight
full delicacy.
For the indoor worker-the office
man, the inactive, nothing makes a
better lunch than Graham Crack
ers and milk. Light, but sustaining,
without heaviness or sleepiness so of
ten following a hearty lunch of rich
foods.
Keep Graham Crackers on the
table as we'll as bread, and the staff
of life can be eaten in either form
that particularly appeals to the
taste.
National Biscuit Company Graham
Crackers come in moisture and dust
proof packages, keeping in all their
delightful flavor, crispness and fresh
ness.

Women Who Wear Well.

1t is astonishing how great change
few years of married life often make in
the appearance and disposition of many
women. The freshness, the charm, the
brilliance vanish like the bloom from a
peach which is rudely handled. The
matron is only dim shadow, faint echo
of the charming maiden. There are two
reasons for this change. ignorance and
neglect. Few young women appreciate
the shock to the system through the
change which comes with marriage and
motherhood. Many neglect to deal with
the unpleasant pelvic drains and weak
nesSes which too often come with mar
riage and motherhood, not understanding
that this secret drain is robbing the cheek
of its freshness and the form of its
fairness.

ROGkfFELLER'S MONEY
GOOD FOR MISSIONS
Christian Church Decision
To Retain Gifts.

NORFOLK, VA, Oct. 15.-(SpeciaD
That John d. Rockefeller's money
bears no faint, or at least it is good
for missionary work, is the official
decision of the missionary board of
the international missionary confer
ence of the Christian Church..
Thomas w. Philips, of Newcastle,
Pa, a former representative in Con-
gress, heavily interested in oil, steel,
and gas properties, and a delegate to
the convention, has made an I'M
successful effort to have returned to
the Standard Oil king $4,000, which
had been contributed by him in frac-
tional amounts to the Foreign Mis-
sionary Society The acceptance of
the gift was made known at the
meeting of the missionary board,
The former Congressman, himself
a member of the board, moved that
the money be returned to the giver,
on the ground that it is tainted and
not honestly earned. He called for a
second to his resolution, but no sec
ond came.
He did succeed, however. in having
inserted in the report of the board a
clause declaring that objection had
been raised to the acceptance of the
Rockefeller gift, and that no more
money would be solicited" from the
same source.

DISPENSARl PROFITS
ITS STRONG POINT
Only Thing To Keep South
Carolina Moist

COLUMBIA, S. c., October 10
(SpeciaD-If anything can keep South
Carolina from becoming wholly pro-
hibition, it is going to be done by
the profits from the dispensary.
The same thing might have been
said in the days of the state dispen-
sary with regard to the preservation
of the dispensary. Undoubtedly the
profits, served to maintain that insti-
tuition as long as it lasted, but the
profits were divided according to the
rule of long division in that case
and then in addition there grew up
the suspicion that the institution was
not making the money it should make.

Increased In Sales.

Dispensary Auditor West has con
piled a statement of the sales of the
county dispensary by counties for
the month of September, this state
ment being made up from reports
sent to him, according to the law,
by the county dispensary boards. 1t
shows that the total sales during
September amounted to $290,021,24, as
aginst 1858, 72O.1S for August and
S2OS, 866.6S for July. The increase
of September sales over August is

Tax Payers Feel Effects.

However, in the counties which
now have dispensaries the profits are
handled at home and go directly into
county and city treasures, all of
them, and the result is that the tax
payers feel the effects.
Take Charleston and Richland coun-
ties, for instance, where the desire
that the dispensaries shall make as
much money as possible is leading
the citizens to demand the suppress
sion of the blind tigers, which COM
pete with the lawful establishments.
Six months ago if an election had
been held in Richland county the
county would have gone prohibition
but now it would not do so.
The people believe that the dis
pensary is being honestly and effi-
GENTLY conducted and that the pro-
fits can be acceptably utilized for
the schools and for the public inn
provements, for which otherwise they
would be taxed. This is not saying
this is right or proper, but that it

q newspaper man the other day, and
good-naturedly asked explanation of
an incident which happened years

pleasantly, when suddenly the latter

Il have always had great curiosity to
know why you deserted me that day."
The newspaper man hesitated for a

you the truth, Mr.. Vice President, you
are mighty dry source of news. You
may have "a nose for news, but
doubt 1t; at any rate, you never give
up any. Now, when a newspaper man
is cunning for big, live news he hasn't

OLD CAPT. cAck's QUESTION.
Somewhat Pointed, But II Denoted
Quick Intelligence.

Pierce Jay, the commissioner of
banks of Massachusetts, at the Ameri-
can Bankers associations convention
in st. Louis, advocated a better ac-
counting system.
But above ALL" said Mr.. Jay, in
a discussion of his idea, 1--WE want
intelligence, if embezzlement is to be
thoroughly put down. Systems are
good, but intelligence is better, and
in cashiers and tellers and Look
keepers and note clerks we want the
same keen, quick intelligence that
characterized old Capt. Hiram Cack,
of Gloucester.
"Cack lay very i'll. One day he got
down-hearted, feeling that his case
was hopeless.
"1 fear, DOCTOR he said, there isn't
much hope for me-
"'Oh, yes, there is the doctor an
swered. Three years ago l was in
your condition precisely, and look at

quickly:

Safe, Sure and Speedy.

No external remedy ever yet de-
vised has so fully and unquestionably
met these three prime conditions as
successfully. as Allcock's Plasters.
They are safe because they contain
no deleterious drugs and are manu-
factured upon scientific principles of
medicine. They are sure because
nothing goes into them except ingre-
dients which are exactly adapted to
the purposes for which plaster is re-
quired. They are speedy in their ac-
tion because their medicinal qualities
go right to their work of relieving
pain and restoring the natural and
healthy performance Of the functions
of muscles, nerves and skin.
Allcock's Plasters are the original
and genuine porous plasters and like
most meritorious articles have been
extensively initiated, therefore always
make sure and get the genuine.

French Presidents Double.

M. Fallieres was until recently be-
lieved to be the only president Of the
French republic who had no double,
but his counterpart has been found.
The man who most resembles him
physically is a respectable merchant
of the Rue Saint Honore. who plays
his part with decorum and dignity. He
wears exactly the same kind of blue
butterfly necktie with white dots as
the president, the same kind of hat
and exactly so oddly cut beard. And
on his promenades he is always ac-
companied by friend who could cas-
lily be taken for the presidents private
secretary. Dignified and with meas
ured steps the enviable double walks
through the Faubourg Saint Honore
and feels overjoyed at being saiuted

two weeks and then went back and

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

The purity of salt depends upon the
source from which it is obtained and
the sanitary conditions under which
IL 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 evan
Grating ocean water, a process that
left many impurities in the residuum
to say nothing of it's 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 SUBJ
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 1t 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
large proportion of this important
supply.

NEVER TIRES
Of the Food That Restored Her to
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
infiammatory rheumatism.
Il had tried different kinds of diet,
plain living, and many of the remedies
recommended, but got no better.
FINALLY, about five weeks ago,
mother suggested that I 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 I 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 all
gone.
'T know it is to Grape-Nuts alone
that 1 owe my restored health. 1 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 a certain and steady
return to normal health and mental
activity. There's reason" Read

heiskeIE's Ointment
Cures Skin Diseases

For half a century Heiskelrs Ointment has
been used in all cases OF skin disease with
most gratifying results. Many have become
entirely cured who had suffered untold pain
and annoyance for years. One man in New
Baltimore, Pa, writes that 1t cured him when
he was raw all over. A lady in Philadelphia
cured O case of tetter of six years standing
in fourteen days, while man in Allentown.
Pa, cured his case of eczema that had trou-
bled him for eleven years with less than two
boxes ofthe ointment. These and hundreds
OF others have found that Heiskell's Oint-
ment is worth more than its weight in gold.
Being a purely vegetable preparation, Heis-
kells Ointment soothes and heals where
others fail. 1t allnys the itching and burn
ing common to all skin disease, and all yield
quickly to its magic influence.
There are many varieties of skin diseases
with confusing titles, but they are all suscep-
tible to one and the same cure-Heiskelrs
Ointment. No one need suffer long ifafllicted
with any skin disease not of q constitutional
character II they will apply this remedy. This
includes such skin diseases as erysipelas, pru-
rigo, eczema, milk crust, itching piles, scald-
head, tetter ,ringworm, black heads psoriasis,
pimples, freckles. In some cases 1t is neces-
sary to give some constitutional treatment,
as in erysipelas, eczema, etc; tho liver should
be toned to healthy action and the blood and
all the secretions purified. In all cases of
skin disease cures are hastened by the use OF
ointment, and in cleaning up the Blood and
liver with Heiskells Blood and Liver Pills.
Heiskells Medicinal and Toilet Soap con-
tains in a modified form the medicinal prop
critics of Heiskells Ointment, and is particu-
larly effective in slight disorders of the skin,
as rash, eruptions and abrasions. 1t cleans
perfectly, and in the bath is a great luxury.
Heiskell's Blood and Liver Pills contain the
active medicinal principles of various roots
and herbs approved in medical practice.
