In looking for a recommended rem

health. She writes:
About three years ago spell OF
sickness left me so weak that L. was
an eXertion to move my hand.
"My appetite was gone and what
little | did eat distress0 me so |
had better left 1t alone. The doctor
saw ! was getting weaker and ad-
vised me to take cod liver oil, but
my stomach would not tolerate 1t.
Then | was told to take egg-nog
with stimulants to strengthen me,
but that did not agree with me.
was getting discouraged, when a lady
sent me a paper in whic,. there was 4
medicine advertised which she
thought might help :le.
in looking through the paper !
saw an adv. telling how strengthen
ing was Grape-Nuts food Strength
was what | was after, SO | sent for a
package of Grape-Nuts.
81 was SO bad that the cream
used with this food distressed me,
so l took one teaspoonful OF dry
Grape-Nuts and ate 1t. using TO liquid
until | was through.
ITO my surprise felt no bad
effect. The next time took two
teaspoonfuls with the same result. II
was not long before ! could eat three
teaspoonfuls, with the result that |
was gaining strength and my stom-
ach was feeling much better.
II knew 1t was owing to the Grape
Nuts because that was all was eat
ing. 1t was not long then. until I
could eat cream with the Grape
Nuts and no distress. From then on
all was we'll. and there are very few
meals eaten at our table without
Grape-Nuts."

haps unmoraIly would DO the apt word
to use, for some Of the causes for which
divorce n granted may be regarded as
mere fotions prompting conspiracy
between the partiee 10 the suit and their
lawyers TO sever the marriage relation.
Divorce reform aims to eliminate the
flimsy pretexts for separation and free
dom, but as In those States where they
arc stamped with valj5,ty transient
residence and secret hearings are al
lowed, the first step in divorce reform
Is to prohibit such abuse of procedure.
Publicity discourages applications TO
the courts for divorce on fictitious and
merely frivolous grounds, and in q
State that insists upon an adequate
term Of residence divorce colonies can
not be fostered.
The action OF the people Of South
Dakota will make q stir In every State
of the Union that is cursed by bad
divorce laws and reformers will be en-
boldened to renew their attack upon
the evil in the Legislatures.

1t is a matter OF the keenest regret
to many forehanded and thrifty citizens
that much land in the heart Of New
York city is now devoted 10 non-revenue
producing purposes and utilized merely
for Fairgrounds and beauty spots Not
a real estate boomer in the town fails
to understand the possibilities Of Central
Park for residential and business pur-
poses and to long for an opportunity to
cut it up into lots, to be offered for sale

own their own homes.
As this seems definitely beyond ac-
complishment, various other plans for
tho diversion Of park lands from their
true purpose are constantly appealing
for popular favor. One OF the latest
of these is a scheme for the establish

To THE EDITOR or TIE SUN-Sn: The
editorial In this mornings Sun. In De-
fence OF the Twang," inspires me to write
q few words against all possessors OF the
exasperating habit. On questioning many
who have acquired 1t have Invariably
received the same answer. Why.I did not
know II! and what Is the causef They
have ears and hear not The training Of
the ear is one Of the most neglected duties,
Is the sensitiveness Of the ear drum dying
out in this noiseful age?
1t is the duty Of every parent and every
teacher 70 make the child aware OF the
quality Of tone in which Il speaks. Espe-
cially should every teacher Law stress on
the importance Of the pupils speaking on
the vowels OF words and not hanging on
the consonants OF words: this would help
much toward the destruction OF the nasal
habit, which Is also one OF the causes Of so
many beautiful singing voices being de-
stroyed In this country. We have singing
teachers who develop nasal resonants at
the expense OF everything else.
Here again let me say that pupils are not
taught 70 hear their own voices. Could
they hear them they would refuse to make
these horrible nasal tones. The nasal
resonance seems to be fad In speech and
song. and it Is mostly owing to carelessness
of hearing. THEODORE ARNHEITER.

aside because no method was known by
which the metal could be extracted at
q profit. Three years ago careful in
vestlgation was made Of thesa huge dumps
Of rubbish and u was ascertalned that
the refuse amounted to some 500, ,OOo
tons and the metal In It was probably
worth about 367.0O0.00o
This 10 @ very tidy sum TO be tied up in
taiIings, little harder to get at than the
free nitroeen OF the air. a rnodioum Of
which we are now beginning to capture
for the enrichment Of farm lands and
these refuse heaps are scattered all over
the world wherever gold and silver and
the base metals, lead. zinc. &C., are mined.
No wonder that metallurgists have been
thinking hard over the problem Of the
profitable extraction OF metals from the
heaps of dross.
Professor outerbridge Of Pennsylva-
mia gives q most encouraging view Of
the remarkable progress recently made
in reducing low grade metalliferous
ores and recovering metals at profit
which were formerly of no value. The
companies in the Broken Hill field offered
large prizes for q method OF dealing
probably with their waste material.
So metallurgists all over the world began
experimenting, and number Of very
different but practical schemes were
perfected and are now In use every day
for recovering the vast quantity Of
metal that has 80 long lain worse than
useless.
The new industry is now in successful
operation at Broken Hill and In numerous
other regions. It will take many years
to deal with the mountains Of waste tall
inRs that are found In every field Of the
mining industry. But every year will
add to the worlds wealth millions Of
dollars that for generations have been
believed to be irrecoverable.

usual free and easy and irresponsible
otyle.
What we do not understand 10 the
fact that Mr.. MRRKDITH, man Of ability
and good sense in most respects, should
quote this specimen of Mr.. RoosEvRLT's
childish garrulity as a final argument,
or for that matter any argument at
all, in controversy of importance.
We may mention as a fact that the
election laws Of the Southern States
have been upheld by the Supreme
Court Of the United States. The Miss
issippi, the South Carolina, the Virginia
CLAUSES have been subjected to the
highest inquisition and formally
sustained. The threats Of KEIFER and
CRUMPAcKER, undertaken Of course for
cheap purposes, have been divested Of
all their substance. The laws stand
and everybody knows 1t. Why then
should Mr.. MEREDITH write to his
patron saint-as we suppoee-and more
especially why should a man Of Mr.,
MEREDITH's consequence. and station
parade THEODORE RoosEvELT's swift
reply as a settlement "for all time" Of
the emergency?
As it seems to us the whole thing is
ridiculous. If the Southern election
laws are assailable the proper attack
upon them is through the courts. II
they be constitutional, as the supreme
tribunal has already declared, they
do not need the Endorsement of Chief
Magistrate who has already been dis
credited and who in any event has
no more to do with legislation than
with the solar system or the procession
OF the seasons.
Why does Mr.. MEREDITH parade
this cheap and tawdry Illumination?
Nobody is deceived by it.
