SENSE ABOUT FOOD
Facts About Food Worth Knowing.

1t is a serious question sometimes to
know just what to eat when per-
sons stomach is out of order and most
foods cause trouble.
Grape-Nuts food can be taken at any
time with the certainty that it will
digest. Actual experience of people is
valuable to anyone interested in foods.
A TeTre Haute woman writes: II
had suffered with Indigestion for about
four years, ever since an attack of ty-
phoid fever, and at times could eat
nothing but the very lightest food,
and then suffer such agony with my
stomach I would wish / never had to
eat anything.
II was urged to try Grape-Nuts and
since using it / do not have to starve
myself any more, but / can eat it at
any time and feel nourished and salts
fed, dyspepsia is thing Of the past,
and | am now strong and well.
"My husband also had an experience
with Grape-Nuts. He was very weak
and sickly in the spring. Could not
attend to his work. He was under
the doctors care but medicine did not
seem to do him any good until he be-
gan to leave off ordinary food and use
Grape-Nuts. 1t was positively surpris-
ing to see the change in him. He grew
better right off, and naturally he had
none but words of praise for Grape
Nuts.
"Our boy thinks he cannot eat a
meal without Grape-Nuts, and he
learns so fast at school that his teach
er and other scholars comment on IL.
am satisfied that it is because OF
the great nourishing elements In
Grape-Nuts."
There's Reason"
Tt contains the phosphate of potash
from wheat and barley which combine
with albumen to make the gray mat
ter to daily refill the brain and nerve
centers.
1t is a pity that people do not know
what to feed their children. There are
many mothers who give their young
sters almost any kind of food and
when they become sick begin to pour
the medicine down them. The real
way is to stick to proper food and
be healthy and get along without med
icine and expense.
Ever read the above Iettere = new

MINERS DISPUTE IS SETTLED
MEN GAIN CONCESSION CONCERN
ING USE OF POWDER.
Lewis Brings About an Agreement and
ignores Leaders in the Pitts
burg District.

P1ttsburg, Pa. The dispute be.
tween the miners and operators of
the Pittsburg district affecting $4,000
men, 1000 of whom have been on a
strike for over week, was settled at
conference between the operators
and the national executive board mem.
bers OF the United Mine Workers of
America, with National President
Inomas l.. Lewis of the organization.
A notice was posted in all the mines
In this district telling the miners that
the recent order of the coal companies
that black powder must be used in
mining coal is rescinded for the pres.
ent
To secure this concession on the
part of the operators President Lewis
appointed committee from the
miners organization, which went to
Wllkesbarre today to confer with
Chief Mine Inspector James E. Rod
erick of Pennsylvania, asking that a
thorough investigation of the use of
black or safety" powder be made by
the state.
The state authorities ordered the
use of this powder, but the miners
contend that it skaters the coal to
such an extent that their earnings are
greatly decreased.
The district officials of the miners
union took no part in the conference,
owing to the differences existing be-
tween them and the national board.
Another victory was recorded by the
Schoenville strikers when it was re-
ported that the members of the Broth
erhood of Railway Trainmen employed
on the Pittsburg, Fort Wayne & Chica-
go railroad had refused to bring any
more strike-breakers to the Pressed
Steel Car Company's plant
A committee representing the train
men called at the strikers headquar-
tiers at McKees Rocks, and after the
conference Chairman Wise of the
strikers executive committee stated
positively that no more imported men
will be transported over the Fort
Wayne route.

PEARY REACHESPOLE
ARRIVED AT TOP OF WORLD ON
APRIL OF THE PRES
EMIT YEAR.
SCIENTISTS ARE ASTOUNDED
News Given in Brief Message Sent
From Labrador-Found No Trace
of DR.. Cooks Expedi-
ton.
New York.-Peary has succeeded.

New YOrk.-Peary mas Succeeueu.
STARS and stripes nailed to the
North Pole"
From out the Arctic darkness there
was flashed this message which stun
ned the scientific world and thrilled
the heart of every layman. From the
| bleak coast of Labrador Peary gave
to the world the news that he had at
tanned his goal in the far North, while
at the same moment in far off Den
mark Dr. Frederick A. Cook of Brook
Ign was being dined and entertained
royalty for the same achievement.
First word of Peary's success
reached New York in a despatch to
the bare announcement of his finding
the pole. Almost simultaneously he
had transmitted the news to London,
repeating dramatically and simply:
"Stars and stripes nailed to the North
pole" At the same time he similarly
advised the governor of Newfound-
land
Like Dr. Cooks first message
Peary's was tantalizing in its brief
ness and the waiting public, stimulated
by Cooks success, was left unsatiated.
For, as did DR.. Cook, Peary resumed
his homeward voyage Immediately
after filing the curt news of discovery.
A few words were added to this
meagre information at $50 p. M,
when there was made public this ad-
ditional information sent to Herbert
n. 80 10,
of the Peary Arctic club:
pole reached. Roosevelt SAFE"
(Signed) Peary."
This gave assurance that the vessel
in which Peary departed had passed
through the ice unscathed, but details
of his homecoming and date of the
discovery of the pole were still lack
ing. 1t was not until the New York
Times had received a dispatch later in
the afternoon that these vital points
were cleared up. The message said:
Il have the pole, April 6. Expect
arrive Chateau Bay Sept. 7th."
With this information at hand it was
comparatively simple matter to as
certain that the April 9Th referred to
was April of the present year, as his
expedition did not start from New
York until July 7, 1908.
April 6, 1909-the date that Peary
planted the flag at the pole-and April
81, 1908, the date that DR.. Cook un-
furled the stars and stripes, year
before, consequently become the car
dinal dates upon which exploration of
the far North will rest hereafter.
Though separated by nearly a year
the same feat was accomplished by
two Americans, neither of whom was
aware of the movements of the other
Cook says that he found no trace of
Peary in the moving ice and according
to word which was received here
Peary's ship, the Roosevelt, late last
night, Peary likewise found no signs
of his reputed predecessor. However,
this phase of Peary's experience will
not be thoroughly cleared up until a
statement is obtained from his own
lips.

DROUGHT CAUSES GREAT LOSS
PENNSYLVANIA SUFFERS FOR
THE WANT OF RAIN.
Farmers Have a Tremendous Loss and
Factories Are Closed Because of
the Lack of Water.

delphia.-Farmers in eastern
Pennsylvania have suffered enormous
loss from drought this season. Crops
have been destroyed and there has
been no pasturage for stock. 1t has
been several months since the district
has had real rain.
A dispatch from York, Pa, says the
big paper mill of P. H. Glatfelter Com
pany at Spring Grove, Pa, has been
compelled to suspend operations be-
cause of the drought. The works are
operated by water-power, and opera
tons will not be resumed until the wa
ter supply is replenished by rain
fall
The dispatch adds that York county
is experiencing the most serious
drought within the memory of living
persons. Wells and springs in the
county have gone dry and supplies OF
water for various boroughs are becom-
ing exhausted.
The Schuylkill river is at the low
est point in it's history, and more than
1000 persons employed in the mills at
Manayunk, a suburb of this city, are
idle because of the scarcity of water.
A canal company which has control OF
the water which flows over dam at
Manayunk has asked the mill owners
to close down for day or two in order
that enough water may be accumu-
lated in it's canal to float to tide-water
number of barges loaded with coal.
st. Joseph, Mo.-The protracted
drought in northwest Missouri and
northeast Kansas has been broken.
However it came too late to save the
late corn, much of which has been
greatly damaged

Pests Worried by Pests.

Since the Dutch philosopher Leu
wenhoek discovered that the pupa of
the flea was sometimes preyed on by
the larvae of mite, it has been well
known that various small insects have
their external parasites. And a re-
cent communication to the Complies
Rendus of the Biological society of
Paris by M. Bruyant, shows that many
mosquitoes carry about mites in the
larval stage. Those described belong
to four different genera. They prob
ably feed on the integumentary
structures of the mosquitoes.

consumptives Need Not Leave Home.

Consumption can be cured, or ar.
rested, in any section of the United
States, and the percentage of cures in
the east and the west is nearly the
same. Any physician, therefore, who
sends person to the southwest with
out sufficient funds, or in an advanced
or dying stage of the disease, is guilty
of cruelty to his patient. Renewed
efforts are being made to stop this
practice, and to encourage the build
ing of small local hospitals in every
city and town in the country. At.
tempts are also being made in South
ern California and in Texas to ex.
clude INDECENT consumptives or to
send them back to the east.
