CHANGE THE VIBRATION.
1t Makes for Health.

A man tried leaving off meat, pota
toes. coffee, and ETC., and adopted a
breakfast of fruit, Grape Nuts with
cream. some crisp toast and a cup of
Postum.
His health began to improve at once
for the reason that a meat eater will
reach a place once in a while where
his system seems to become clogged
and the machinery doesn't work
smoothly.
change of this kind puts aside
food of low nutritive value and takes
up food and drink of the highest value,
already partly digested and capable
of being quickly changed into good
rich blood and strong tissue.
A most valuable feature of Grape
Nuts is the natural phosphate of pot
ash grown in the grains from which II
is made. This is the element which
transforms albuinen in the body into
the soft gray substance which fills
brain and nerve centers.
| A few days use of Grape-Nuts vii
give one a degree of nervous strength
well worth the trial.

MORE ABOUT THE
NORTH ROAD CHANGE
Chicago Paper Mentions Train Seized
uIe Contention Between keokuk
and Mt. Pleasant.

The following article appeared in
this mornings Chicago Record-Herald:
The state railroad commission of
controversy between the city of Keo-
kuk and a half dozen other cities in
that state. The trouble arises over
the passenger service on the Burling-
ton road between Keokuk and Mount
Pleasant Both sides to the contro
versy are preparing to appeal to the
state commission, and the Retail
Merchants Association of Keolluk is
threatening the Burlington road with
a boycott The officials of the Bur-
lington are in the position of want
ing to please their patrons, provided
they can arrive at the proper solu-
ton. Some time ago the business
men of Mount Pleasant, Salem, Oak
Mills. Houghton and Hamill petition
| ed the road to make change in the
service between Mount Pleasant and
4 Keokuk The officials of the road
1 were about to make the desired
F.! change when the Retail Merchants
Association of Keokuk entered de-
/ termined protest, The association
wants the train service to remain as
it is because it brings people into
Keokull in the morning and gives
them almost the entire day in which
to trade The residents of the other
cities want the Burlington service
changed so that the Keoknk mer-
chants cannot reap quite so rich a
harvest.
The above article is decidedly
misleading one The only towns that
have any stores on the line whose
trade would be affected by customers
going to Mt. Pleasant, Salem or Keo
kuk are Oak Mills, Houghton, and
Mt. Hamill, and it is doubtful wheth
er the merchants in either of these
three latter places would be effected
as their trade is local and would re
main at home.
Mt. Pleasant and Salem being il
Henry county naturally want the
trains to run to Mt. Pleasant on sucl
schedule as to enable the out o
town residents of Henry county tt
go to Mt Pleasant to pay taxes, al
tend court, etc. while majority o
the residents of Lee county want t
come to KeokulS.
There has never been suggestion
of boycott against the Burlington
road by the Retail Merchants of Kee
kuk, the association simply taking tn
position that the present service give
the greatest benefit to the creates
number of people. The above articl
has evidently been brought forwar
by the Mt Pleasant people SO as t

EGYPTIAN PRESS
BECOMES CALM
Comments on Roosevelt's Speech Do
Not Contain Bitter Attacks,
as Was Expected.

Carlo, March 3o.--The nationalist
press, contrary to expectations, makes
no bitter attack on Rooseves; for his
speech of Monday The comments
OF these papers are not SO severe as
those that followed the colonefs Khar-
toum speech. The absence of severe
criticism is generally attributed to
Mr.. Roosevelt's action Of last Sunday
in calling the Egyptian editors to
private reception at which he had a
heart to heart talk with them, the
theme of which was that men might
have the courage of their convictions
and show a tolerant spirit to those
who differed from them.
