ent of public instruction of North

no decided stand either for or against.
In the regular sessions, Edwin G..
Dexter, commissioner of education for
Porto Rico, offered a resolution urging
that congress be asked to confer citi-
zenship on the people of Porto Rico.
Immediately a member from Ala
bama arose and proposed to tack on

only civilizing influence they had felt
was the water cure.

Along with Cash Belonging to
IL other Women.

San Francisco.-The announcement
that John Madison, the star bigamist
of the country, is under arrest here,
brought flood of kilograms to the
authorities Saturday from police in
many cities where Madison is wanted
for marrying and dipping women.
The authorities here have already
established his marriage to ten wom-
en- and his engagement and possible
marriage to IA others. Each of the
"a women duped by Madison is said by
the police to have lost more or less
money through his friendship.
The prisoner says his name is Chris
tian G. Johnson. He stoutly main
tanned his denial that he is Madison.
The women whom Madison married
are Mrs. Elizabeth o. N. E. Jackson
of lola, Kan, from whom he is said to
have secured $1,4O0; Miss Minnie
Allen, 141S A Madison street, St.
Louis, from whom he secured $3.50 and
a diamond ring; Mrs. Alice Richard

are known to the police. Almost with
out exception his victims have been
widows or divorced women of middle
age. Madison may be taken for trial
to Stockton, where one of his wives
resides

The Happiest.

In the smoking-room of the Finland,
discussing a June wedding, Andrew
Carnegie said:
"And thank goodness 1t wasn't an
international marriage, though the
bride did have Is millions.
Not" appended Mr.. Carnegie, that
object to international marriages
wherein the two parties are good and
honorable and we'll matched. But so
many of these marriages are like one
that q Boston cynic described to
me.
"Was it a happy marriage?' 1 asked
this Bostonian.
ooh, quite, said he. The bride
was happy, her mother was over
joyed. Lord Lacland was In &C.

stand, were in state of absolutely
endless and uncomfortable bliss"

ORIGIN
OF a Famous Human Food.

The story Of the great discoveries
or inventions is always Of interest.
An active brain worker who found
himself hampered by lack of bodily
strength and vigor and could not carry
out the plans and enterprises he knew
how to conduct, was led to study va
rious foods and their effects upon the
human system. In other words, be-
fore he could carry out his plans he
had to find a food that would carry
him along and renew his physical and
mental strength.
He knew that a food which was a
brain and nerve builder (rather than
a mere fat maker) was universally
needed. He knew that meat with the
average man does not accomplish the
desired results. He knew that the
soft gray substance in brain and
nerve centers is made from Albumen
and Phosphate OF Potash obtained
from food. Then he started to solve
the problem.
Careful and extensive experiments
evolved Grape-Nuts, the now famous
food. It contains the brain and nerve
building food elements in condition
for easy digestion.
The result of eating Grape-Nuts
daily is easily seen in marked sturdi-
ness and marked activity Of the brain
and nervous system, making it a
pleasure for one to carry on the daily
duties without fatigue or exhaustion.
Grape-Nuts food is in no sense a
stimulant but is simply food which
renews and replaces the daily waste
of brain and nerves.
It's favour is charming and being
fully and thoroughly cooked at the
factory it is served instantly with
cream.
The signature of the brain worker
spoken of, c. w. Post, is to be seen on
each genuine package of Grape-Nuts.
Look in pkgs. for the famous little
book, "The Road to Wellville."
There's reason"
