CHERRY OLD COUPLE Find Grape Nuts a Blessing.

After one is seventy, the question of nourishment is a very delicate one.
 When old age comes on we do not need so much food as during the more active years. but the digestive organs are very sensitive and care must be exercised in its selection.
 No food has the strength giving pro- perties and is so easy to digest by old and young as Grape-Nuts.
 For years have been troubled with dyspepsia-for one period, 8 years"- writes our aged minister.
 '1 finally began using Grape Nuts and have had no trouble with my stomach since, feel perfectly well and strong, and though I am T years old I feel like a boy.
 ''Then, too, my wife has been troubled for years with biliousness and sick headaches. Since she began to use Grape-Nuts. about weeks ago, she has no further trouble.
 She is quite well and strong. much more cheery and happy than in other years. Grape-Nuts and Postum oc- cupy an important place on our break fast table, and in our daily food. It would be hard for me to tell what we owe to Grape-Nuts

OU1POURING OF WHEAT
 FROM WESTERN FIELDS
Enormous Receipts at Great Mill ing Center and Great Shipping Plant.

Chicago, Sept 5.-Receipts of wheat at Minneapolis and Duluth were enormous, the total arrivals to- day at those points being 766 cars against 447 cars for the correspond ing day a week ago. It is predicted that receipts at Minneapolis on Tues day will aggregate from 2O00 to 250O cars. Despite the unusually urgent demand for cash wheat by the mil lers of the northwest and the large sales of flour made there in the past few days, the exceptionally heavy movement naturally could have no other effect, it is claimed, than to weaken wheat values. Minneapolis and Chicago cash wheat premiums were unchanged with St. Louis 12c lower. The market closed weak and only a trifle above the lowest price.
 Corn dragged slightly by the weakness of wheat The market closed weak with prices 1sc to hc lower.
 The oats market closed weak, prices off 1sc to Sc.

TOLSTOI CELEBRATION.
Is Forbidden by the Church to True
 Believers.

St. Peterburg, Sept. 5.-A circular addressed by the Holy synod to all believers. appealing to them not to participate in the celebration on Sept. 9th, in honor of the eightieth birthday of Tolstoi, on the ground that praise of this opponent of the church would be a stumbling block to persons of weak faith, meets with the approval of only a limited section of the press and public. This circular is virtually the second accommodation of Tol- stoi.
 Many newspapers condemn it un- stintedly. The governors of the pro- vinces of Moscow, Warsaw, Satatov and Simbirck have resorted to mar tial law to prevent the celebration.
 The count is extremely weak, great ly emaciated and scarcely able to speak. but his mind is unimpaired. His closest friends are forbidden to see him and his grief at the harsh senti- ments expressed against him is pa thetic.

A Cowboys Br akfast,

T. B. Sweet, a Topeka capitalist, stopped at Abilene in the early dys. one time, at the best hotel in the city. He asked for his breakfast. The wait ress took no special notice of his ap- pearance or at least did not guess that his appetite was different from the average patrons.
 Give me some eggs" said MT. Sweet and waited.
 In a little while the waitress came back In a bowl she had a full dozen eggs. all hard boiled.
 Sweet gasped, and ate what he could, protesting that she had brought him too many and that he didn't just know how hard-boiled eggs would strike him for his first meal of the day.
 Why, that's a regular cowboys breakfast" responded the waitress.

THE LIMIT.

THE LIMIT.
 "The greatest daily range of temper ature to be found on the earth's sur face is in Arizona, where there is ire quently a change of so degrees in twelve ours"-Sandusky Daily Reg ister
 The above clipping has been handed to The Republican by subscriber and in the language of a distinguished cit izen of Ohio who is just now very much in the public eye. The Republi- can announces that Tt is a lie," no matter whether the Register produced it at first hand or took the word of someone else for it. To be thus ma ligned while possessing the finest eli mate on earth, makes one think-well. a lot of things, among them that the Register is not on the mailing list of the Phoenix board of trade. or that of the weather bureau servive. The cli- mate of Arizona is milder than any and more equable than that of most states. and compared with the killing heat and humidity of Ohio summers and her blizzard driven winters, Arizona is a realm of perpetual balm.
 Books have been written on Arizona weather, and mighty interesting ones too. There is no purpose of writing a book just now for the benefit of the Register but just a few facts will be given because they are convenient and the subject of them will be July weather with particular reference to 1908 because it is not so long gone but that the statements may be easily proved In considering them the Reg ister's attention is called to the fact that within the boundaries of Arizona there are all kinds of weather and all kinds of altitude The range of alti- tude here is from Yuma, but slightly above sea level, to the perpetual snow of the San Francisco peaks, while Ohio is plain. A blizzard in Ohio means cold weather all over it while condi- tions here are entirely different. In Arizona one can get almost any desir- ed temperature at any time of the year. one place or another. The Register is asked to keep these typographical facts in mind in considering the following figures compiled by the director of the Arizona section of the weather bureau service, concerning the tenn perature of Arizona as a whole during the month of July 1908:
 The mean temperature for the terri tory was 1-3 degrees below normal. The mean for the month, from records of 57 stations was S1.7 degrees. The mean for the northern division was - TIA degrees, and for the southern di- vision, S3.7 degrees. The highest monthly mean was 95.O degrees. at Ft. Mohave, and the lowest 56.6 degrees, at Chlarsons Mill. The highest temper ature recorded was 11S degrees at Ft. Mohave, on the 2Oth; the lowest was 37 degrees. at Williams on the 9th. The greatest local monthly range was 59 degrees, at Tuba, and the least was g degrees, at Bisbee. The greatest daily range was 55 degrees, at Tuba, on the 11th.
 In the above figures are found the limit of all extremes. Now a word about the July temperatures in Phoe- nix, from the same authority The greatest daily range of temperature | m Phoenix, during the month of July | was thirty-five degrees, and that i means twenty-four hours, including | the hottest sunshine and the cooling breeze of midnight.

 Kansas City, Mo-, March 31.-At the "dollar dinner" of the Young Mems Democratic club in Convention hall. where in 1900 the Democratic national convention nominated William J. Bry- an for president, he began, according to his own statement, the campaign of 1908. Eighteen hundred men, many of them from the neighboring states. sat down to the tables spread on the arena floor. When the speechmaking began, 12.OOO persons thronged the galleries. Mir Bryan and every mention of his name were cheered. Judge Judson Harmon's reception was also enthusi- aStic.
 MT. Bryan appeared very hopeful of Democratic victory. He said there is Democratic element in the Republican party to which a successful appeal can be made. This element is inspired by the Roosevelt sentiment, so called, but the Roosevelt sentiment is not so much attachment 70 person as devotion to ideas with which the person is identi- fled, and in Mir. Roosevelt's case these ideas are Democratic simply because ''the Democrats had pre-empted all the ground in front of him, and he could not go forward without trespassing upon their land"
 Mir. Bryan's opening statement that i've have met to begin the campaign of 1908 and to present those principles and policies which ought to appeal to progressive Republicans as well as to traditional Democrats" was the key note of his speech. In giving his ap- proval of Senator La Toilette as the Republican candidate for president MT. Bryan said:
 "If the president had picked out Sen ator La Toilette, real reformer; if the Republican party had rallied to Sena- tor La Follettes support, it could have compelled .the confidence of reform Re- publicans.
 What does Secretary Taft stand for? He would regulate, not extermi- nate, trusts. He would revise the tar if, but not until after the election. He favoIs no reform to benefit labor di- rectly nor any relief from the burdens which imperialism has put on the country. He evades stating how he would solve the railroad question.
 What chance of reform is there at the hands of Republican leaders who take the side of corporations against the people and act upon the theory that inducements must be held out to capital. no matter how great the bur dens imposed upon the producers of wealth?
 There is no doubt that the masses of the people, Republican and Demo- cratic, are in favor of reform. If we can only convince the voters that the Democratic party will be true to re- form victory is assured, and the only way in which we can convince the public that we honestly desire to ad- minister the government in behalf of the people is to give them an honest platform, employ honest arguments and conduct a campaign by honest methods and through an honest organ ization
