After an absence of a week at tending the sessions of the Insurance Commissioners of the United States, at Colorado Springs, Frank N. Julian, Secretary of State and ex-officio com- missioner of the state, returned to his office yesterday morning.
 Commissioner Julian was enthusi- astic over the selection of Mobile as the next meeting place of the com missioners. He stated yesterday morning that the executive committee of the association had determined upon Bluff Point. N. r., on Lake Cham plain, as the next meeting place. and 1t was only after a hard fight on the floor of the convention that he was able to land Mobiles claim.
 MT. Julian stated to the Commis- sioners that Alabama had sent repre- sentatiVes to the convention since 1871 anu during this period had not been favored with a meeting of the Com missioners. He stated that 1t was the South's turn to entertain the body and the convention promptly agreed with him by an overwhelming vote.

 Dr. Brassell handed in larger amount of I hate to do it's than has been his duty for several examina- tions past. Those who failed to pass the recent examination numbered seventy-seven.

WORK PROGRESSES
Summer Campaign for College
Jubilee Fund Brings Real

EFFORTS IN THIS STATE
Chicago Field Is Quickly Finished
and Solicitors Are Now at Gales
burg and Rockford.

The close of the summer campaign
shows that big strides have been
made toward the realization of the
S250.OOO endowment fund which
Augustana college is raising for its
50th anniversary in 1910. Twenty
solicitors have been engaged in the
work during the summer, principally
in the Illinois conference, which en-
braces Illinois, Michigan, Wisconsin
and Indiana. OF the $4,000 prom
ised by the Illinois conference as its
quota, approximately 100000 has
been subscribed.
The summer campaign commenced
June | in Chicago, where consider
able work had already been accom-
plished by Dr. Andreen, Professor
Andrew Kempe and Rev. Theodore
Ekblad during th& winter. Fifteen
solicitors were placed in Chicago and
the work in that city was carried on
with whirlwind speed. By the end
of June the greater part of the city
had been canvassed and by the mid
die of July the work was practically
completed a little more than $50,
900 was contributed by the windy
city as its share to the jubilee fund.
General state Work.
With the work in Chicago complete
the solicitors scattered to take up the
work in various parts of the confer
ence.
All of Michigan and Wisconsin and
the La Porte district in Indiana We're
canvassed before the middle of Aug
ust, together with the majority of
the larger cities in Illinois. Joliet
made the best showing of the 1lli-

siderably more than its quota. Dur
ing the latter part of August and the
first part of September all the forces
we're concentrated in Rockford and
Galesburg. Both these cities offered
exceptionally large fields, but the
work was pushed with vigor and is
practically complete at the present
date Galesburg yielded SO, but
is expected TO reach nearly $4,000.
while Rockford may come to $4,000
or $4,000.

FROM THE BENCH.
A Judge comnends Pure Food.

Judge of Colorado court said:
Nearly one year ago | began the use
of Grape-Nuts as food. Constant con-
finement indoors and the monotonOus
grind of office duties had so weakened
and impaired my mental powers that
felt the imperative need of some
thing which neither doctors nor food
specialists seemed able TO supply
"A weeks use of Grape-Nuts twice
each day convinced me that some I'M
usual and marvellous virtue was con-
tanned therein. My mental vigor re-
turned with astonishing rapidity;
brain WEAKNESS tfrom which l had
constantly suffered) quickly disappear
ed; clearness of thought and intellec-
tual health and activity which l had
never previously known were to me
the plain results of a few months use
of this food.
"Unhesitatingly ] commend Grape
Nuts as the most remarkable food
preparation which science has ever
produced so far as my knowledge and
experience extends
The Judge is right. Grape-Nuts food
is certain and remarkable brain
builder and can be relied upon.

LOCAL SCHOOL FOR THE DEAF

OF this city, which takes care of chill

so afflicted.
This school was opened in 1901.
Some Of the pupils who entered then
have now left school to go to work
In some cases the families have moved
TO o,her cities. so the class at present
IS not as large as is desired, and we
wish to have it known that more chil-
dren who should have this special
training may have the privilege of in
struction by this special provision.
1t is free to all living within the
city limits. those outside being obliged
to pay tuition just the same as the
hearing children who attend the pub
lie schools from outside the city.
The method used is the oral method
whereby children are taught to talk
and read the lips Children as young
as 4 years of age may enter, as 1t IS
better for their voices to have the
training as early as possible.
In some cases children are not Who'll
ly deaf, but only slightly So yet often
times are considered dull in their
classes, because they fail to hear the
teacher and recitations of the pupils
distinctly In such cases lip reading
would be very helpful to the pupl
whereby he may learn to see what is
said and have a better knowledge CT
what goes on around about him. Re-
