other homegoing passengers. Thus in
tent in the days news, he was startled
when woman came up beside him and
touched him lightly on the shoulder, at
the same time casting longing eye on
his seat.
He is polite man, and he got up. "a
woman with that much nerve is entitled
to a seat" he muttered to himself. "The
idea of woman deliberately nudging
man out of his seatl" Other women
standing nearby laughed unreseVedly.
He hid his embarrassment behind his pa
per, for he felt that his good nature had
been imposed upon and that the laugh
was on him.
BY and by there was vacant seat next
to the one he had given up to the woman,
and he sat down once more. The wom-
all turned and looked at him amusedly.
He could feel her gaze, even though he
made bluff at being intensely interested
in his paper. Pretty raw, it seemed to

Vegetable Compound has done for me
during this trying period. Complete
restoration to health means so much
to me that for the sake of other suffer
ing women / am willing to make my
trouble public so you may publish
this letter" Mrs. CHAs. BARCLAY,
RID, Graniteyille, VT.
No other medicine for woman's ills
has received such widespread and un-
qualified endorsement. No other med
icine we know of has such record
of cures of female ills as has Lydia E.
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound.
For more than 80 years it has been
curing female complaints such as
Inflammation, liberation, local weak
nesses, fibroid tumors, Irregularities,
periodic pains, backache, indigestion
and nervous prostration, and it is
unequalled for carrying women safely
through the period of change of life.
1t costs but little to try Lydia E.
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, and,
as Mrs. Barclaysays it is worth noun
tains of gold to suffering women.

The following item which we take from
the Charleston Mail seems to give the lie
to the oft-repeated statement that closing
the liquor saloons kills town. Nobody
would accuse the Mail of fayoring the
temperance side, hence the item printed
belowis probably an entirely unconscious
tribute to the advantage of dry town :
charleston is enjoying one of the big
gest building booms Of her history.
Charleston is always conservative and
the present building boom is only the
natural growth of conservative city
which has a future. In almost every
quarter Of the city buildings are going up
as fast as contractors can do the work
and the progress in the business district
of the city is marked, in fact, so prominent
has if become that visitors to the city are
discussing the building BOOM"

Alfred Habeman, white man, after a
visit to Washington, d. c., returned to
their home in Columbus, Ohio, and shot
her twice and then, turning the revolver

Negotiations are pending for the sale OF
the property Of the Greenbrier White
Sulphur Springs, in West Virginia, to the
Chesapeake and Ohio Railway or to per-
sons interested in that corporation, pro-
vided suitable price can be agreed upon
for the famous resort. 1t is understood
the object of the proposed purchase is to
modernize the present grounds and build
ings at the Greenbrier White and to make
it rival of the famous Virginia Hot
Springs. 1t is understood the trustees of
the Greenbrier property were asked to
name their price, and that the deal is now
held up, owing to the fact that the propo-
sition submitted was too high. President
Geo. w. Stevens, of the Chesapeake and
Ohio, acknowledged that the purchase of
the property was under consideration, and
did not hesitate to say that in his opinion
the purchase of the property would be of
great benefit to the future of the Chesa-
peake and Ohio and of West Virginia.
The purchase of the White by the rail-
road would mean that great Improvements
would be made there.

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 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

food. 1t contains the brain and nerve
building food elements in condition
for easy digestion.
The result of eating Grape-Nuts
daily is easily seen in a marked sturdi-
ness and marked activity Of the brain
and nervous system, making II 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.
Its 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.
