ROSY AND PLUMP
Good Health from Right Food.

"It's not new food to ne" re.
marked Va. man, in speaking Of
Grape-Nuts.
About twelve months ago my wife
was in very bad health, could not keep
anything on her stomach. The Doctor
recommended milk half water but it
was not sufficiently nourishing.
"a friend Of mine told me one day
to try Grape-Nuts and cream. The re-
suit was really marvellous. My wife
soon regained her usual strength and
to-day is as rosy and plump as when
a girl of sixteen.
These are plain facts and nothing
I could say in praise Of Grape-Nuts
would exaggerate in the least the
value Of this great food"

MAKING THE MOST OF 1T.
Unique Nisitinu Card.

Nine. Johanna Gadski has brought
to this country fad that has become
quite the rage in Germany, where it
was introduced by no less parsonage
than the crown princess herself. It
is new form Of visiting card, con-
tanning not only an deliberately en-.
graved border, but silhouette of the
person it represents. The custom calls
for a design appropriate to the hold

case the 'prima donnas head is framed
in border of laurel, while a Tyre
forms the base of the design. The

Relatives in Europe.

Hibbing, Mimi, Jan. 12.-Returns
from the Hibbing postoffice for the
year just closed give some interesting
facts as to the amount of money that
is yearly sent off the range towns.

with families still in the old country,
and a good share of their wages go
as regularly as they receive them to
feed hungry mouths across the
waters.
In 1908, $123,953.42 went cut from
the Hibbing postoffice to the Old coun-
try, or more than a dollar for every
man, woman and child in the place.

the office during the year amounted
to over 100000.

South st. Paul.-The year 1908 was
a banner one in the hog market at
South st. Paul and the long looked for
million mark was passed. This record
is 100000 greater than any previous
year, the total number received dur
ing 1908 being 1,133,412.
While the hogs have been getting
heavy the cattle have been going
light, the latter having fallen off

cattle exceeded any other year by sew
eral thousand. The sheep receipts
also showed decrease, while the

some months, running it from the

The purpose of the survey is to ar

the annual floods which have been
wiping out crops and doing other dam

river. The survey will show bench
marks for low water and flood marks
will give distances and make it posi-

Marine Insurance.

Marine insurance is the oldest kind
OF modern insurance. Its principles
were first employed in the fourteenth
century sby the merchants of BARGE
Iona, in Spain, when that city was
the capital of the kingdom of Cata-
lonia and when it's hardy mariners
were second to none in the world.
About the same time, and also at
Barcelona, the famous code of mari
time laws known as the consulate
del mar" was promulgated, which is
the foundation of the present shipping
laws Of every country.

1t is the greatest manifestation OF

active. Let the reins 60, and the
horses will drag you down. Anyone
can do that; but he who can stop the
plunging horses is the strong man.
Which requires the greater strength
letting go, or restraining? The calm
man is not the man who is dull. You
must not mistake calmness for dull
ness or laziness. Activity is
the manifestation of the lower
strength, calmness Of the superior
