Carnegie ON Various Topics.

During few days visit to his for
ner home city, Pittsburg Andrew Car
aegie was much in the public eye and
was quoted on several live questions,
including the graft exposures, the
Rockefeller Foundation, the hereafter,
etc. It was on Sunday in the famous
music hall founded by himself that he
spoke to a large gathering of citizens
after the free organ recital. He said
that as his days heightened he was
drawn closer to the people with whom
he had been associated there. There
was no time for the continuance of pet
ty jealOusies. These should be for
gotten and they should live together as
brothers. He believed in the free Sun
day concert. In an interview Carnegie
said he thought that Rockefeller had
acted wisely and referred to his own
-quoted~remark to the effect that to
die rich is to die t1isgraced. He had
found that the only class that benefits
from gifts is the class that helps itself.
He did not believe much in the So
called philanthropy. The day was com
ing when the State would take The
submerged TENTH" house, clothe and
feed it, but never allow it to marry.
Carnegie seemed to be very sad over
the graft exposures in Pittsburg and
was inclined to think that the council
men had been debauched by the rich
bribers and were not so much to blame.
He sharply criticised those citizens who
had hooted and jeered Mayor Magee
when the latter tried to speak at pull
lie meeting. Such conduct, he said,
was blot or the city and would do
the cause of reform more harm than

were the striking features of some

MISCHIEF MAKER.
A Surprise in Brooklyn.

An adults food that can save a
baby proves itself to be nourishing
and easily digested and good for big
and little folks. A Brooklyn man
says:
When baby was about eleven
months old he began to grow thin and
pale. This was, at first, attributed to
the heat and the fact that his teeth
were coming, but, in reality, the poor
little thing was starving, his mothers
milk not being sufficient nourishment.
"One day after he had cried bitterly
for an hour, suggested that my wife
try him on Grape-Nuts. She soaked
two teaspoonfuis in a saucer with a
little sugar and warm milk. This
baby ate so Nravenously that she fixed
a second which he likewise finished
1T was not many days before he
forgot all about being nursed, and has
since lived almost exclusively on
Grape-Nuts To-day the boy is strong
and robust, and as cute a mischief
maker as a thirteen months old baby
is expected to be.
I'VE have put before him other
foods, but he will have none of them,
evidently preferring to stick to that
which did him so much good-his old
friend, Grape-Nuts.
Use this letter any way you wish,
for my wife and I can never praise
Grape-Nuts enough after the bright
ness it has brought to cur house
hold
Grape-Nuts is not made for baby
food, but experience with thousands of
babies shows it to be among the best,
if not entirely the best in use Being
a scientific preparation of Natures

and brain builder for grown-ups
