BRAIN BUILDING
How to Feed Nervous Gases,

Hysteria sometimes leads to insanity and
should be treated through feeding the brain
and nerves upon scientifically selected
food that restores the lost delicate gray
matter. Proof Of the power of the brain
1000, Grape-Nuts, is remarkably strong.
About eight years ago when working
very hard as a court photographer 1 col
lapsed physically, then nervously, and was
taken to the State Hospital for the In.
sane at Lincoln, Neb., a raving maniac.
They had 10 keep me in a straight
Jacket and | was kept in the worst ward
for three months. l was finally dismissed
in the following May, but did no brain work
for years, until last fall when | was per-
suaded to take the testimony in two cases.
"One of these was a murder case and the
strain upon my nervous system was so
great that l would have broken down
again except for the strength / had built
up by the use of Grape-Nuts. When I
began to feel the pressure of the work on
my brain and nerves l simply Increased
the amount Of Grape-Nuts and used the
food more regularly.
Il now feel like my own self again and
am healthy and happy. l am sure that il
l had known of Grape-Nuts when / mad
my trouble s years ago l would never have
collapsed, and this dark experience in my
life would never have happened.
The power OF Grape-Nuts as a brain food
is simply wonderful and I do not Believe
any stomach is so weak that IL cannot di-
gest this wonderful food"
There's a Reason" Look for the little
book, The Road to MELVILLE" in pigs.
Ever read the above letter? A new
one appears from time tO time. They
are genuine, true and full OF human
interest.

Get His Deserts.

LONDON, June 15.-William James
Thorne. the rabid socialist member from

the house Of ommon this afternoon by
a heated denunciation OF the emperor Of
Russia in connection with this sov~ereign's
proposed visit to King Edward during the
Cowes regatta.
Mr.. Thorne, in the guise of a question
Of Foreign Secretary Gray, declared there
was intense feeling in this country against
the visit. The speaker called Mr.. Thorne
to order. but the member shouted out: 1T
will be a good job IL the Russian emperor
gets his deserts when he does come; he
is an inhuman brute"
The speakers efforts to stem this abuse
were quite Intellectual until an uproar OF
protests from the other members drowned
Mr.. Thorne's invective.

Famous Pedestrian Praises

Mr.. George H. Ward, the aged
noted pedestrian of Middle.
town, Conn, who is vigorous
both mentally and physically,
says that Duffy's Pure Malt
Whiskey is the best in the
market as a tonic and strength
builder. Mr.. Ward, although
over 20 years old, every day
during the summer walks from
ten to twenty miles and is as
fresh at the finish as he was at
the start. He has often chal-
lenged any man in the state to
walk 1000 miles or more.
II am over 20 and am still as vigor-
Gus and active as twenty years ago. |
walk during the summer from 10 to 80
miles a day without much fatigue. Re-
Gently | walked 81 miles and finished
feeling as fresh as when I started. I
have challenged, without success any
man in the State to walk a thousand
miles or more.

Pure Malt, Whiskey to keep myself in

Mr.. Wards case is similar to that
OF many other aged men and women
who have been kept hale, hearty and
vigorous by the constant use of Duffy's
Pure Malt Whiskey as a medicine. 1t
is a food requiring no digestion, which
has a stimulating and tonic effect

Wyoming Wool
Clip Breaks
State Record
Indications Are Growers Will Re-
ceive 100000 More Than Than
They Did Last Year.

CHEYENNE, Wyo., June 15.-(Special,) y
Sufficient wool has been gathered In Wy
oming to justify the statement that the
clip in the aggregate is the largest and
the prices the best in the history of the
business In this state. The clips will aver
age close to eight pounds per fleece, and
some of 1t has sold for as high as 25 cents
per pound. Last years clip of 81, 250, 600
pounds Will be exceeded and in all proba-
bility wyoming will this year produce APP
proximately 40, 0OO,O0O pounds Of wool, for
which the growers will receive about
IS, 900, 900 gross, or nearly 81, 00O, 900 more than
was received for the 1905 clip, and about
$3.50, 900 more than was received for the
1907 clip. The year 1907 was the banner
year for Wyoming's sheep and wool In
dustry, the prices for both wool and NUT
ton being the highest ever received, but
should present prices for lambs and NUT
ton sheep hold up the present year prom
Uses to be a record breaker, the excess ton
mage Of %ool produced this year over other
years offsetting the low prices obtained
for many clips earlier in the season, when
contracting was done at prices ranging
from Is to IS cents.
Probablynthe highest price paid for wy
oming wool this year, quality and weight
considered, was received by ]. A. Delfelder
president of the state association. He dis
posed of almost 100000 pounds and at a
figure said to be better than % and q
cents for fine woods, and no fine woods
have yet brought 26 cents in this state
The highest price paid for fine wool was
received by Tim Kinney of Rock Springs
