Brain and Nerves Restored by
Grapc-Nuts Food.
The number of persons whose all
ments were such that no other food
could be retained at all, is large and
reports are on the increase.
"F'or II years 1 suffered from dys-
pepsia, finding no food that did not dis
tress me-" writes a Wis. lady. II was
reduced from 145 to 90 lbs, gradually
growing weaker until 1 could leave my
bed only a short while at a time, and
became unable to speak aloud.
Three years ago l was attracted by
an article on Grape-Nuts and decided
to try it.
"My stomach was so weak l coGld
not take cream, but used Grape Nuts
with milk and lime water. 1t helped
me from the first, building up my sys-
tenn in a manner most astonishing to
the friends who had thought my re-
covery impossible.
"SOon l was able to take Grape
Nuts and cream for breakfast, and
lunch at night, with an egg and Grape
Nuts for dinner.
81 am now able to eat fruit, meat
and nearly all vegetables for dinner,
but fondly, continue Grape-Nuts for
breakfast and supper.
'At the time of beginning Grape
Nuts could scarcely speak a sentence
without changing words around or
talking crooked in some way, but my
brain and nerves have become SO
strengthened that 1 no longer have
that trouble" There's a Reason"

A count based on negligence in an
action by an administrator to recover

any case uncertain and profit or loss
from operation will depend somewhat
upon cost of construction and mainte-
nance. both of which are as yet unde-

CULTIVATED PLANTS HELPLESS.
II Nan Should Disappear from Earth
They Would FOLLOW Him.


They Would Follow Him.
We rarely realize how helpless man
has rendered the plants he cultivates
by the centuries of protection from
their weed enemies that he has given
them. says the American BOtanist. An
experiment that well illustrates this
point was made on one OF the govern
ment farms some time ago. A field
about one acre IN extent, upon which
wheat had been grown for forty years
in succession, was not harvested. but
allowed to stand and shed its seeds as
it would.
The next year a fair crop of wheat
came up, but the weeds were gaining
the ascendency, and by the fourth sea-
son all the wheat had disappeared from
the field and the weeds held full sway.
If man should suddenly disappear from
the earth it is certain that his cult
waited crops would soon follow him.
And yet these very plants held their
own against their competitors before
man took them under his care. The

face of competition is not alone because
they have grown weaker, but in a
measure because the weeds have grown
stronger. In protecting his crops man
has constantly killed out the weak and
least persistent weeds, and only those
were left to perpetuate their kind that
were able to elude man. One species,
the self-heal (prunella vulgaris) i,
which ordinarily grows foot or more
high, has produced a variety SO low
that it is able to thrive on a closely
moved lawn. Darwin never considered
the lawn mower as one Of the factors
of evolution, but undoubtedly this
Yankee invention has played It's part
in the great struggle.

Gloss over the situation as we will,
the fact remains that we are still a
crude people in many respects. We have
failed lamentably in the management of
our cities. We have fallen into the evil
habit of laughing at the smartness Of
thieving politicians and public officers.
We have not yet evolved into the first
grade of truly enlightened self-govern-
ment in the most intimate and ESSEN
tial relation Of municipal administra-
tion. Police forces are on ali sides re-
garded as properly under suspicion.

above reproach? Where is there de

In our international marriages how
much thought is given to character?
What does the woman or her family
care about the notorious dissipation
and the low associations of the bride
groom? In a case now to seek a legal
solution, probably in judicial chambers,
the English nobleman who was admit
tedly seeking a fortune and nothing
else had frittered away his time In
amateur theatricals until he found
them an opening to the stage. His
habits and associations were well
known. He tried to marry one young
woman, and, failing, transferred his
application to a relation CO hers who
could not but know und 9r the clrcum-
stances that no regard for her was ac-
tuating him. If it be true that he de-
layed the wedding until an additional
sum of money was settled on him, it
does not seem as if any self-respect-
ing woman could have gone on with
the ceremony. No one can withhold
profound sympathy from his wife, but,
after all, how is it possible for we'll
bred and high-spirited American girls
TO make the marriages that some of
them do?
