FRIENDLY TIP
Restored Hope and Confidence.

After several years of indigestion
and its attendant evil influence on the
mind, it is not very surprising that
one finally loses faith in things gen.
orally.
A n. Y. woman writes an interesting
letter. She says:
Three years ago I suffered from
an attack of peritonitis which left me
in a most miserable condition. For
over two years 1 suffered from nerv-
BUSINESS, weak heart, shortness OF
breath, could not sleep, etc.
My appetite was ravenous, but
felt starved all the time. / had plenty
of food but it did not nourish me
because of intestinal indigestion. Med
fcal treatment did not seem to help
1 got discouraged, stopped medicine
and did not care much whether 1 lived
or died.
-One day friend asked me why
didn't try Grape-Nuts, stop drinking
coffee, and use Postum. I had lost
faith in everything, but to please my
friends l began to use both and soon
became very fond of them
1T wasn't long before I got some
strength, felt decided change in my
system, hope sprang up in my heart
and slowly but surely 1 got better.
could sleep very well, the constant
craving for food ceased and I have
better health now than before the at
tack of peritonitis.
My husband and / are still using
Grape-Nuts and Postum There's

was the inventor of the biggest move
towards a high standard of efficiency
when he perfected the revolving,
armored turret-
What this invention will be one can
only guess and most of to-day's guesses
are poor. From present indications,
however, the airship is to be a factor,
and when the inventor turns out an
aeroplane which can carry men and
shells in sufficient quantity to do real
damage, then our impressive battle
ships will be melted into steel rails.

India,s SAVINGS Banks.

The postal savings bank of India
was established in 1882, in which year
the depositors numbered 39.121 and
the deposits amounted to 1882, 243. In
1907 the depositors numbered $780,
220 and the deposits amounted to $49.-
223,2S3, which, perhaps, should not be
considered large in a country having
a population of some 30O.0O0,o 900. but
the average Indian farmer. mechanic.

money in a bank. but hides it away
in pot or box in the ground.-New

will recall the session of parliament
which dealt with the last British
naval budget, the largest in the his
tory of the nation. Emperor William
OF Germany, it was reported at the
time, addressed a personal communi-
cation to Lord Tweedmouth who had
charge of the naval end of England's
welfare, asking the latter to cut his
naval budget. This story was not de-
MED, but talk of it was so avoided by
officials that the British public to-day
believe that the letter actually was re-
ceived. 1t aroused criticism from all
Britain 1t is said that the kaiser
realized that the two biggest nations
of the old world must keep pace with
each other in this line, and perhaps
feeling that a large expenditure by
Germany was not advisable, realized
that the only avenue of exit from such
possibility was to see the British
budget reduced
President Roosevelt's feelings on the
matter were amply told in the record
of the last congress when he tried to
get that august body to appropriate
for four new warships. However, there
there were too many men of peaceful
and public buildings inclinations
among the wearers of the toga and
they dealt solar plexus blow to the
project, from which it only half re-
covered-to the extent of two war
ships. Both of these vessels have
already been launched.
With Japan, the little terror of the
far east, furnishing up its navy, the
probabilities are that the powers may
go even farther next year in expendi-
lures for warships, and the only block
to the great amount expended seems
to be the devising of some new mode

SPORTING Offer

AS he entered the restaurant the
cut of his clothes betrayed him as a
member of the sporting fraternity
Choosing a corner seat, he ordered
oyster stew. When the dish was
brought to him, he looked at it with
critical frown, and then he began
excitedly to peel off his coat and
vest
What's the matter? What's the
matter?" said the landlord, hurrying
to the table.
The man looked at the stew, then
at the landlord, and said:

Francis J. Heney, special counsel OF
the city, in the prosecution of the San
Francisco grafters, has been a ma
chinist's helper, cowboy, n worker
on a ranch and has achieved his
prominence unaided. He first came
into notice as a prosecutor of Grim
fnals in Oregon land frauds, and was
rewarded by an appointment as Unit.
ed States attorney for Oregon. 1t is
no longer secret that a federal
judgeship of life tenure was assured
him as a reward for his service, but
he declined it to take up the work
of extinguishing graft and corruption
in San Francisco.
