My Dear Sir:
Il write to express my personal ap-
probation of one OF your business
methods. that OF accompanying each
package OF your Grape-Nutg produc-
ton with that little booklet The
pirate, clear headed and effective pre-
sentation of health-giving suto-sugges-
tions could scarcely be penned.
"Grape-Nuts is a good food In itself.
but the food contained in this little
article is still better stun. l commend
the practice because I know that the
greed and strenuousness. the conse-
Quent graft and other types OF thiev-
cry and malicious mischief generally
can never be cured by legislative ac-
ton.
THE only hope for the betterment
OF the race rests In individual soul
culture.
in taking a step In this direction,
your process has been SO original and
unique that 1t must set a pace for
other concerns until finally the whole
country gets favored with genuine.
practical Christianity.
Il shall do all that lies in my pow.
er to aid In the appreciation OF Grape
Nuts, not so much for the sake OF the
food itself as for the accompanying
suggestions.

and kindness that seemed to fill the
air with n spiritual ozone that was
good to breathe.

they work In business of all kinds. In

II know you will not regard this let
ter OF appreciation as an intruding
one. It is simply the salutatlon of

feels drawn to you by the hnship of
thought.

trymen and his race Is the good that
he does. Your position in this respect

Got Monetary Results.

At the end of the first six moths OF

oughly that he knew exactly how to
deal with them. One Sunday the col
lection was deplorably slender. The
next week Mr.. Johnson made short
and telling speech at the close of his
sermon.
Il don't want any man to glib moro
dan his share, bredren,' he said gent
ly, bending toward the congregation,
"but we must all glib according as the
Lawd has blessed and favored us, and
according to what we rightly hab.
81 say rightly hab, bredren," he went
on, after a short pause, because we
don't want any tainted money in de-

When Miss Jordan was elected
county treasurer two years ago her
eligibility was severely ontested by
her predecessor in office, but a SUI
preme court decision was rendered
that a woman could hold any political
office in Nebraska, even to the gov
ernorship. Miss Jordan was born in

Appetite Not a Necessity.

DR.. John R. Murlin of New York as
sistant professor of physiology at the
Cornell university medical college, in
an article in the October number Of
the Journal of the Outdoor Life, COM
pares the food we eat to the fuel used
in furnishing steam and power for an
engine. In selecting our food he says
that we should eat enough to furnish
energy for the days work, but that
much more than this is not needed.
He holds that the appetite is not ne
cessity for good digestion. There Is
no fallacy of nutrition" he says,
greater than that which supposes that
a food cannot be digested and utilized
without appetite" Most of the food
we eat, fully four-flfths, goes to supply
energy for our everyday tasks, while
less than one-fifth goes to supply
building material.

criminally and civilly for an attack
on T. T. Berry, assistant attorney
general. Mr. Berry and John S. Daw-

conference and the prosecution was
ordered.
Some time ago Meyer made an affi-
davit that Burr was drunk on one
of the joint raids the assistant at.
torney general was making. Burr de-
MED the charge emphatically. Meyer
called Burr into the county clerks
Office and demanded that Burr take
back the remarks he had made about

Meyer struck him. Meyer was ar
rested and Burr is to begin proceed
ings at once to collect civil damages.
