 My system was run down by excess sive night work" writes a N. Y. man. fin spite of liberal supply of ordinary food.
 After using Grape-Nuts I noticed im- provement at once, in strength, and nerve and brain power.
 This food seemed to lift me up and stay with me for better exertion, with less fatigue. My weight increased 20 lbs. with vgor and comfort in proportion.
 When travelling I always carry the food with me to insure having it."

mingham by. A few of the sharpers made their appearance, but the officers had made preparation for their coming and the linght-fingered gentry quietly disap- peared when they saw the lay of things.
 But one crime of any consequence has been committed, that one being the kill ing of an innocent negro by a black of the bad type, who made, good his escape.
 Drunken men on the streets were an unknown factor. The crowds were good natured and ever obllgng. If a man happened to get caught in a heavy crowd he did not endeavor to push everyone aside and make his way in hurry, but instead adapted himself to the gait of the crowd. It was this way in every part of town. Everybody was happy and nobody was growing.

AFFECTED 4 {: D BY |i CHURCH
and STATE QUARREL
Wedding Of Daughter Of Pres:
ident Of France. /. +

Paris, Aug. 11.-As a sequence to
the separation of church and state in
France and incidentally because Of
the mourning of the bridegroom the
marriage of Madeleine Anne Marc
Fallieres, daughter of the president of
the French republic, to John Jean
Joseph Edward Lanes, the presidents
secretary, was not attended with the
special brilliancy which one might ex-
pect would embellish the nuptials of
the daughter of the president of
France.
The wedding was, indeed, striking
for it's simplicity. The marriage party
drove to the city hall of the Elysee
palace reimbursement where, in an
artistic bower of plants, daisies and
white hydrangeas and in the pres
ence of Premier Clemenceau and other
members Of the cabinet and govern
ment officials, they were, legally unit
ed by Mayor Roger Allou, who graced
the occasion by a dainty discourse of
Fluctuations.
The marriage was blessed by a nup-
tial mass at the Church of the Made
line, where a great crowd had assem-
bled to catch a glimpse of the bride,
who, in costume of white satin, with
white tulle yelling, made an impress
sive picture as she mounted the high
steps on the arm of her father and
walked up the main aisle. to the altar.
Foreign Minister Pichon and Min
lister of Marine Thomson were pres
ent at the ceremony, but there was no
large official delegation in attendance,
owing to the fact that all French Off
Gals who were concerned in the adop-
ton of the law providing for the sep
aration of church and state have been
accommodated. There was large
attendance of the members of the dip
lomatic corps, however, who were
present with their families and
friends. .~' @ :

HOPKINS WINS
HARD CONTEST
Endorsed by Illinois Repub'

RESULTS OF THE PRIMARY

c. s. Deneen Named for Governor by
Republicans and Former Vice Pres
ident AdIai e. Stevenson by the
Demecrats-Last Named Party Sc.
. Iects L. q. stringer as Its Candidate
; for the Senate.
Chicago, Aug. 11.-Late primary re-
turns confirm the Republican nomina-
ton OF G. S. Deneen for governor and
give the Republican Enforcement for
United States senator to Albert J.
Hopkins. From figures at T. hand,
which are, however, incomplete, the
majority vote of Deneen over Yates
70 probably not far from 10000 to
$4,000.
The vote for United States senator
shows that Hopkins has about $4,000
plurality over Foss, but it is not GER
tain that this estimate will hold. The
returns from some counties may re-
1uce Hopkins lead materially. It is
certain that Foss will carry the fight
into the state legislature and a warm
contest will ensue when that body
meets next winter. Foss and his
managers claim that he has carried a
majority of the senatorial districts and
that the chief strength of the Hop
ktns vote, particularly in the city of
Chicago, has been in the Democratic
wards. It Is claimed that the vote in
the senatorial districts should be bind
ing on the members of the legislature
and therefore Foss and his friends
argue that even if defeated on the pop
NlAr- vote, he. will have a majority Of
the legislature under instructions for
him. The Hopkins managers deride
this claim and assert that the vote of
the state at large is the only thing
that carries with it the party endorse
jment. ".
The. returns from the country pre-
clncts continue to come in slowly.
Definite figures are most difficult to
obtain on many of the votes, partic-
ularly those on the Democratic ticket
Because of the general interest felt in
the bitter struggles for the Repub-
Hcan gubernatorial nomination, and
for the Republican endorsement for
senator the election judges generally
have counted the votes of that party
first. Enough figures are obtainable,
however, to show that L. B. Stringer
Of Lincoln has received an overwhelm-
Ing plurality for the Democratic en-
d0rsement for senator and that for
mer Vice President A. E. Stevenson OF
Bloomington has been nominated for
