BUSINESS WOMEN
A Lunch Fit for a King.

An active and successful young
lady tells her food experience:
Some years ago / suffered from
nervous prostration, induced by con.
tinuous brain strain and improper
food, added to a great grief.
Il was ordered to give up my work,
as there was great danger or my mind
failing me altogether. My stomach
was in bad condition nervous dyspep-
sia, think now and when Grape
Nuts food was recommended to me,
had no faith In 1t. However. | tried
It, and soon there was marked I'M
provement in my condition.
Il had been troubled with faint
spells, and had used a stimulant to
revive me. / found that by eating
Grape-Nuts at such times / was re-
lieved and suffered no bad effects,
which was great gain. AS to my
other troubles-nervous prostration,
dyspepsia, etc.-on the Grape-Nuts diet
they soon disappeared
Il wish especially to call the atten.
ton of Office girls to the great benefit
/ derived from the use OF Grape-Nuts
as noon luncheon. / was thoroughly
tired OF cheap restaurants and ordin.
airy lunches. and so made the expert.
ment OF taking a package Of Grape.
Nuts food with me, and then slipping
out at noon and getting nickel's
worth OF sweet cream to add to II.
Il found that this simple dish, fin.
lshed of with an apple, peach, orange
or bunch OF grapes made lunch fl
Tor a king, and one that agreed with
me perfectly.
Il throve so on my Grape-Nuts diet
that did not have TO give up my work
at all, and In the two years have had
only four lost days charged up against
me.
Let me add that your suggestions
in the little book, Road to Wellville,

May Temperature Well Over Normal

The highest temperature during the
month of May past was 80 degrees
and was recorded on the 2Sth This
is within three degrees of record
the maximum temperature for this
month during the last Al years being
90. The lowest recorded temperature
during the past month was 80 de
grees and occurred on the Ord. This
is only two degrees above the mini
mum for the last Al years. The av-
erage daily excess for this May was
6.S over the normal.
The total precipitation for the
month was LIS and the greatest pre-
cipitation in "a hours was AZ, which
was recorded on the 3lst There was
a deficiency of lao inches in the pre-
cipitation as compared with the nor.
NAL. The prevailing direction of the
wind was south and the total move

ENCOURAGING BRIGHT PUPILS.

Parents and educators everywhere
will be interested In the experiment
now being tried In the Cincinnati
public schools OF establishing a class
room for especially bright pupils.
which would appear to be the logical
accompaniment OF the classroom for
backward pupils. The proposition
that II is as unfair to hold back the
apt or clever child In the ranks OF
the mediocre as II is to speed the dull
pupil TO pace he cannot maintain
appeals as reasonable and common
sense. II will be argued with much
force that the system which makes
provision for caring for the backward
pupil cannot be justified without pro-
vision is made for accompanying the
needs OF those who can advance more
rapidly than the average. says the st.
Paul Pioneer Press. The proposition
simply provides for the application
TO schooling of the plan. that Is gen.
orally adopted and followed In the
business world. where wage scales,
chances of promotion and all the ad-
vantages are based on the ability OF
those employed to advance rapidly in
one line or another. This has not
been the rule in the school where the
system has been adjust ed to meet the
requirements of the average pupil.
with special provision made for those
below the average. The net result OF
this system has been retardation. for
which the pupils are not to blame.
The Cincinnati educators have decid-
ed that the old system OF trying to
make all children fit the same edu,
cational pattern is unsatisfactory In
general and particularly unfair to the
bright pupils. who are to be given spe-
cial attention under more sensible
and equitable method.

TORNADO SWEEPS
EASTERN MICHIGAN
To- ~
THREE KILLED IN STORM IN
VILLAGES NEAR DETROIT
SUNDAY NIGHT. my
STORM VELOCITY rs 40 TO go
MILES AN HOUR.
The Worst Wind and Electric Storm
in Many Years Sweeps Over
Eastern Section Of the
State. nNoaA

Sweeping through the city and state
at velocity varying from 40 TO 80
miles an hour, an electrical storm
that assumed tornado features out
side OF Detroit, did tens of thousands
of dollars damage Sunday night.
The storm area extended down into
Ohio, and, according TO reports to
the Detroit weather office. Ii was the
heaviest storm since the tornado that
destroyed Ypsilanti 20 years ago.
Trees were uprooted or snapped
off, houses were twisted on their
foundations, barns were blown to
pieces, while te!ephonic, telegraphic
and rail communication was cut of
or seriously impaired throughout
Michigan and Ohio. Heavy objects
were lifted and carried hundreds of
Heet by the wind, and many miracu-
lous escapes from deash were re-
ported.
In Detroit the strength of the
storm was not as severely felt as in
the suburbs. The velocity OF the
wind in Detroit never exceeded 60
miles an hour. while in the outside
territory it attained a speed of sc
miles. and varied between that point
and 60 miles for 30 minutes.
Thoroughfares within radius OF
10 miles of the city were Uttered
with trees, limbs. boards, barrels,
boxes. in fact, everywhere that was
movable and that had been left out
side. Trolley wires were snapped
when trees or poles fell on them
and electric service on different in
terurban lines was delayed sometimes
for hours. In the city street cars
were not attempting to run on SEIZED
ule.

U. S. Better of Than a Month Ago

The treasury made much. better
showing for May than it did for April
and its condition as compared with a
month ago is materially strengthened.
The piling up of gold coin and bullion
in the vaults continues steadily A
little more than sl,S15,000,0 900 was
there June 1, the high water mark for
the treasury's gold holdings.
The governments finances begin a
new months business on the basis
of a surplus 1t is small-less than
81 .000.000-but a surplus is shown in
spite of nearly s3,000,000 spent from
the cash drawer for the Panama
canal. Under ordinary circumstances
a surplus of nearly $5,0O0.000 would
be shown.
Mays receipts from all sources ex-
ceeded SCI 100000 and beat April by
a round $10,0O0000. Expenditures
however. were held down to about
s56.OO0OOo, some $3,0OO,0O0 greater
than last month.
Corporation tax receipts. which will
come in this month and promise to
exceed the estimates, will add to the
strength of the treasury

The famous auto expert who broke
his neck in an effort to establish new
speed records might have given his
life In a better cause. A man. 1t is

strain put upon 1t by these speed ex-
periments. but If he finds to the con-
trary the knowledge is seldom of any

serve even the minor purpose of being
a warning to others. The need OF the
age Is to learn more how to enjoy life,
rather than faster ways of rushing

the American Iron & Steel institute
The latter, he asserted, was formed
to prevent decentralization in trade

said, had there been any attempt at
an unlawful combination or an ex-
