The Woman Feared?

What a comfort to find it is not the
awful thing" feared, but only chronic
indigestion, which proper food can re-
lieve.
A woman in Ohio says:
Il was troubled for years with indi-
gestion and chronic constipation. At
times | would have such Il gnawing IN
my stomach that | actually feared |
had al dislike to write or even think
of what | feared.
Seeing an account of Grape-Nuts. ]
decided to try it. After Il short time
l was satisfied the trouble was not the
awful thing I feared but was still bad
enough. However I was relieved of a
bad case of dyspepsia, by changing
from improper food to Grape-Nuts.
Since that time my bowels have
been as regular as a clock. I had also
noticed before l began to cat Grape
Nuts that l was becoming forgetful of
where l put little things about the
house, which was very annoying.
But since the digestive organs have
become strong from eating Grape Nuts,

GRAVEL ROADS SHOW
INCREASE IN INDIANA
Statistics for the Year Show
A Picking Up.
MUCH MONEY Is SPENT.

Figures just compiled by the State
Bureau of Statistics show that fewer
miles of free gravel road were con-
structed throughout the state during
the year 1906 than there were in 1905
Inasmuch as all of the road work has
not been completed for the year 1907,
reports have not yet been received rel
ative to road construction and i'm
provement this year. There are indi
cations, however, that there will be
an increase in the number of miles of
free gravel road this year. According
to the figures of the bureau total OF
654.54 miles of free gravel road were
constructed in 1906. In 1905 the num-
Der was 1853. The total amount spent
in viewing and surveying highways in
1906 was $37,35116, while in 1905 the
total amount was S36,621.03.
A big increase is shown in the to.
tai amount spent for road repair work,
the total amount In 1906 being
$970,365 so. as against $92S,339.SS in
1905. In 1905 the total mileage of free
gravel roads in Indiana was 16,26S.94.
The last report shows that it is now
16,923.4S.

Tho Reporter Seized II and Got His

The Reporter Seized II and Got His
Real Start In Life.
All the city travelling public loves
strap hanger because it has a fellow
feeling for him. This is why the story
of how Frank vanderlip. the banker.
got his start has an almost universal
appeal. It happened when Vanderlip
was reporter on Chicago newspa-
per and writing financial news. The
traction situation then. as now, was al
most impossible. Charles T. Yerkes
was traction dictator, and the stock
holders and the public never had a
word to say in the conduct Of the
roads. Nor could they get any definite
idea Of the financial condition of the
properties.
The time for the annual meeting Of
the stockholders Of the principal road
came along. At all the meetings Mr..
Yerkes had ratified Off the reports in
the usual undecipherable corporation
way, and no one knew what was do
ing. So vanderlip planned a coup.
He bought a share of stock. which
admitted him to the meeting. He had
been a stenographer before he became
a newspaper man. When Mr.. Yerkes
sailed into his breezy explanation of
finances the young reporter took down
everything he said. Mr.. Yerkes used
one striking phrase. and it was this:
The passengers who have seats pay
the operating expenses. but the strap
hangers pay your dividends"
The next day the sentence topped
Eanderlip's account of the meeting.
1t aroused a storm of discussion, for it
laid bare some of the traction methods;
also it got Vanderlip raise in salary

You can retain your equilibrium east

that Runner of New Bcitain is hid

prison; that there are many other men
