There was little girl, five years old
or so, living in an inland town up the
state, according to the Philadelphia
Ledger. Near her home there was no
river, nor. in fact, any water but the
Erie canal.
The child's mother made visit to
New York, and on her return was tell
ing of her trip down the bay, and of
how wonderful the sea had looked to
her Her little girl was listening
eagerly.
Tell me just what the sea is like,
mamma" she said.
Her mother made an effort.
There's the beach, she said, "all
smooth. white sand. You stand on it
and look out upon the ocean. and all
you can see is water, just moving wa
ter waves coming in and breaking
nothing but water and sky
The child sat trying to picture it,
then. in an awed little whisper asked;
"Oh, mamma. isn't there a tow
path?"

PURE FOOD.
No Food Commissioner of Any State
Has Ever Attacked the Absolute
Purity of GrapeNuts.

Every analysis undertaken shows
this food to be made strictly of Wheat
and Barley, treated by our processes
to partially transform the starch
parts into form of Sugar, and there
fore much easier to digest.
Our claim that it is a "Food for
Brain and Nerve Centres" is based
upon the fact that certain parts of
Wheat and Barley (Which we use) con-
tain Natures brain and nerve-building
ingredients, viz. Phosphate of Pot
ash, and the way We prepare the food
makes it easy to digest and assimilate.
DR.. Geo. w. Carey in his book on
"The Biochemic System of Medicine
says:
when the medical profession fully
understands the nature and range of
the phosphate of potassium, insane
asylums will no longer be needed
The gray matter of the brain is
controlled entirely by the inorganic
cellsalt, potassium phosphate.
This salt unites with albumen, and
by the addition of oxygen creates nerve
fluid, or the gray matter of the brain.
"Of course, there is a trace of other
salts and other organic matter in
nerve-huid, but potassium phosphate
is the chief factor, and has the power
within itself to attract, by its own law
of affinity, all things needed to manu-
facture the elixir of life. Therefore,
when nervous symptoms arise, due to
the fact that the nerve-huid has been
exhausted from any cause, the phos-
plate of potassium is the only true
remedy, because nothing else can
possibly supply the deficiency.
THE ills arising from too rapidly
consuming the gray matter of the
brain cannot be overestimated
phosphate of Potash, is to my
mind, the most wonderful curative
agent ever discovered by man. and
the blessings it has already conferred
on the race are many. But what
shall the harvest be- when physicians
everywhere fully understand the part
this wonderful salt plays in the
processes of life? 1t will do as much
as can be done through physiology to
make heaven on earth.
Let the overworked business man
take it and go home good-tempered.
Let the weary wife, nerves unstrung
from attending to sick children or en-
tertaining company, take it and note
how quickly the equilibrium will be
restored and calm and reason assert
her throne. No provings' are required
here. We find this potassium salt
largely predominates in nerve-1uid,
and that a deficiency produces we'll
defined symptoms. The beginning and
end of the matter is to supply the
lacking principle, and in molecular
form, exactly as nature furnishes it in
vegetables, fruits and grain. To sup
ply deficiencies-this is the only law
of cure"
Please observe that Phosphate of
Potash is not properly of the drug
shop variety but is best prepared by
"Old Mother Nature" and stored in
the grains ready for use by mankind.
Those who have been helped to better
health by the use of Grape-Nuts are
legion.
There's a Reason"

AS YET UNKNOWN TO FAME.
Can Any One Place This Quotation
from Philosopher?

Louis Jones of the Grand opera
house had the blues. His brother, a
colored man, usually, in good humor,.
had em, too. Neither knew just why
he had 'em, but they had EN- just the.
same. They talked of the weather,
the times and dozen other gloomy
subjects. There was nothing sunny
in the soul of patron or a barber.
Finally both sighed in concert and a.
silence fell over the shop-yes, over
barber shop. The colored man was.
the first to speak. After several mo-
ments of silence he gave vent to an
other sigh and said:
well, as de old philosopah says:
Eff yo' amt got nothin, now's yo'
time"
Jones is still wondering who the
philosopher was.-Indianapolis News.

Great Cotton Goods Sale.

New York. Aug 13.-An auction sale
OF cotton goods has been begun in this
city that is believed to break all form
er records for sales of that kind. More
than $4,000 cases comprised the lot to
be sold and there is said never before
to have been so many packages In a
single sale, nor so much cotton repre-
sented. The sale. moreover, was re-
markable for the number of buyers
attending II, the count exceeding 600.
II was said that practically every state
in the Union had at least one represen.
tative present The bidding was
spirited throughout the day, resulting
in fair prices all along the line, Repre-
sentatives of large dry goods interests
attending the sale expressed particu
lar satisfaction over the fact that of
fully so per cent of the goods sold so
far the total was in excess of 10000
cases--was taken In small lots of from
one to five cases each. This, they
said, meant a wide distribution for
tire goods and so should be of benefit
to the trade at large.
The goods consist largely Of blank.
cts, there being near 1000 cases con-
tanning from so to 100 pairs each. The
other goods are dewets and canton
flannels. BY far the biggest OF the
consignments were made by Nassau
mill, but the product of an Alabama
mill also is included.

EACH STATE TO Be ASKED
General Plan Is Given Out by
Chairman Mack.
MUCH CASH IS REQUIRED.
Colonel Moses c. Wetmore, at Head
of the Democratic Finance Commit.
tee, Says II Will Require OAer Five
Hundred Thousand Dollars.

Chicago. Aug. 13.-The Democratic
national campaign fund OF 1908 will be
raised through appeals made to the
individual state for contributions. Each
state. nnder the direction OF its ma.
tional committeeman or financial
representative designated for the pur.
pose. will determine its own method
OF raising money. The general plan
became known upon the arrival here
OF Chairman Mack, OF the national
committee from Lincoln. Neb., and the
plan is understood to have met the en-.
tire approval Of w. J. Bryan and John
w. Kern.
Members OF the campaign textbook
committee accompanied Mr.. Mack TO
this city.
The financial committee. OF which
Colonel Moses C. Wetmore of St Louis
is chairman. generally agrees that be-
tween 100000 and sl,000,000 will be
required to finance the legitimate ex-
penses OF the coming presidential
struggle The deyising of adequate
methods to provide these means has
occasioned Governor Haskell of Okla
homa, treasurer Of the national com
mittee. and Colonel Wetmore no little
concern, and the adoption of plan an
nounced to raise money by states is
believed to be the solution OF the
problem. State pride, the financial
committee believes. will be developed
and as a result efforts will be made
20 make the contributions as large as
possible. The financial committee,
however, will arrange to enlist none
tary aid from all those who have indi-
Gated that they are ready TO contri-
butte in a substantial degree The con-
tributions to the various financial rep
resentatives in the states will be made
up of small donations.
The national committee has COM
municated with the national commit
teemen in the several states and In
structed them to proceed Immediately
with collection of funds. and to this
end has suggested that financial rep
resentative be appointed in each state
with assistants in every county, who
will devise such ways and means as
may be deemed best to obtain funds
in their own particular states
The national committee stated that
Thomas II. Vereford of Salisbury, n.
c., has been appointed financial repre-
in his state.
While no public solicitations have
yet been made by the national com
mittee, contributions from various
sources In no small amounts are be-
