PURE FOOD
No Food Commissioner Of any State
has ever attacked the absolute
purity of Grare-Nuts: "

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. 4
Our claim that 1t Is a Food for
Brain and Nerve Centres is based
upon the fact that certain parts of;
Wheat and Barley (Which We usey
contain Natures brain and nerve

Of Potash, and the way we prepare
the food makes It easy to digest and
assimilate. si s;95c

when the medical profession fully;
understands the nature and range Of
the phosphate of potassium, insane
asylums will no longer be needed.
aThe gray matter Of the brain fs
controlled entirely by the inorganic
cell-salt, potassium phosphate.
aThis salt unites with .albunnen,
and by the addition of oxygen creates
nerve-fuid, or the gray matter OF the
brain. III. .5 s.
@Of course, there is trace OF other
salts and other organic matter In
nerve-fufd, but potassium phosphats
is the chief factor, and has the power
within itself to attract, by its own
law of affinity, all things needed TO!
manufacture the elixir Of life. There
fore, when nervous symptoms arise,'
due to the fact that the nerve-fuid
has been exhausted from any cause,
the phosphate Of potassium rs the
only true remedy, because nothing
else can possibly supply the de-
f1ciency.

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 pro
cesses Of life? It win 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 bs
restored and calm and reason assert
her throne. No 'provings' are re-
auired here. We find this potassium
salt largely predominates in nerve
fluid, and that deficiency produces
well-defned symptoms. The begin
ming and end of the matter Is to sup
ply the lacking principle, and IN
molecular form, exactly as nature
furnishes it in vegetables, fruits and
grain. TO supply 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.

instead. He has water to drink, but
on festive occasions he has sake, the

FIVE SHOT TO DEATH.
Wealthy Man and -Four Women Vic
TINS in Quiet English Village.


London.-The little Buckingham
village of Fawley was shocked by the
discovery of quintuple murder. The
scene of the tragedy was the resi-
dence of F. H. Holmes, who was
known to be wealthy.
A gardener who was working out
side the house alarmed at its unusual
uuietness so late in the morning en-
tered and found succsssively the bod
les of two women servants, Mrs.
Holmes ani her daughter, all lying in
bed in different rooms. Each had
been shot in the heac.
Later the body of Holmes was
found in nearby wood. He, too,
had been shot in the head. The po-
lice so far are unable to decide
whether he killed the women and
then committed suicide, or whether
all five were shot by some person un-
known.

TELLS HOW TO WED
TO MAKE JOY SURE

Chicago, May 28-"Street corner court
ing is not conducive 10 a happy marriage
1t is a short journey from st. Joe to the
divorce court" said the Rev. d. d.
Vaughan, pastor of the Halsted Street In
stitucional church, Halsted and Twentieth
streets, in a sermon.
There are three stages in the love at
fairs Of most couples who marry" he
said. They are worship, disappointment,
and either love or Indifference. If more
men and women would determine TO avoid
extremes and try quiet reason TO over
come misunderstanding happier homes
would result.
Most young people marry selhshly;
each expecting to make himself or herself
happier by the union instead of seeking
the happiness of the other. But as long
as the motive is selfish and a competitive
struggle for individual advantage is con-
tinued the marriage will be a failure.
-Four qualities fairly sum up the dis
position in either husband or wife that
will injure future happiness: Affection,
u-nselhshncss, teachableness, cheerful
ness"

Packing Houses Reach Highest
Standard of Cleanliness

Chicago, May 2S.-Reports OF chief
country made to Secretary Of Agricul-
ture Wilson last night indicated that
the packing houses of the United States
have reached a standard of cleanliness
and purity unattained by those of any
other country. Men in charge of in
spection stations from San Francisco
and Portland, Ore, or the Pacific coast,
to Boston and Portland. Me-, on the At
lantic, reported that the agreement Of
the packers. made two years e had
been carried out, in some cases even to
extremes; that improvements had been
made, and that every suggestion of fed
eral employees had been complied with
willingly.
The session was held behind closed
doors. After it was over Secretary VIII
son said:
I'VE are more than delighted with the
reports. We expected that they would
be favorable, but their tone has ex-
ceeded Jul expectations. The packing
houses everywhere are in better condi-
ton thar ever before and a few addi-
tional changes will bring them as close
to the ideal as can be demanded OF a
commercial business.
"Much OF the responsibility for the
sale of diseased beeves must be as
sumed by the individual states. We
cannot touch plants that do not trans
act interstate business, and with tu-
berculosis on the increase every pre-
caution against its entrance to the
markets must be taken. 1t would be
well if some OF the states would pay
greater attention to his branch Of pub

THUGS IN BOLD HOLD UP
FAIL TO GET $3.50

New York, May 2S.-In broad day
light and in one of the densely popu-
lated portions OF the city, three thugs
made a daring attempt to hold up n
rob a trio of bank messengers as they
were carrying $43. 900 In IA from one
Of the banks branches to the main
building.
Black pepper was showered on the
messengers, one of them was hit with
a blackjack and another slashed with
a knife In the desperate effort of their
assailants to seize the money and es-
cape with It before arrival of assist
ance. That they failed to get clear
with the valises filled with coin and
bills which the bank employees were
carrying was due to the stubbornness
with which the messenger resisted the
attack and to the bravery Of a young
Polish waitress in a nearby restaurant,
who so impeded and delayed the leader
of the attacking trio that he fell an
easy victim to two policemen who came
running TO the rescue.
The one fugitive who was arrested
gave his name as Casino Riccobono.
The police also arrested Riccobonois
father and his two brothers. who are
held as suspects.

NINE WORTHLESS;
$65O,OOO GONE

Chicago, May 30.-AnOther mining
bubble burst when it became known
that the Amador Mining and Develop
neut company of Montana, a 10,000,-
300 corporation with headquarters in
Chicago. had come to an end. Letters
are being mailed to inform 1,400 stock
holders, the majority C~hicagOans, that
the Copper-gold mine in which they
have sunk $650,000 is worthless.
With the crash of the concern, which
lad done a thriving business in SELL
ing stock for six years, interest in
nreases in the whereabouts of the sec
retary and general manager, d. F..
MaCkinnon, who appears to be the only
interested person who ever profited
from the enterprise. Mr.. Mackinnon
organized the company and doomed
the stock sales for five years. A year
ago he departed to Boston, where he
opened a branch Office, and since that
time he has spent only one day in
Chicago.
Inquiries made by the stockholders
committee since the fiascO became APP
parent resulted in information that Mr..
MackinnOn had left Boston for some
place in Maine, the exact location of
which all efforts nave failed to estab-
lish.
In the six years life of the company
a total Of only five cars of ore was TAX
en- from the mine. The stockholders
money was sunk in e~Xtravagant equip
ment on the surface, in glowing liter
allure, expensive offices, and junkets of
prospective investors.
