A LADY LECTURER
Feeds Nerves and Brains Scientifically.

A lady lecturer writes from Philadel-
phia concerning the use of right food
and how she is enabled to Withstand
the strain and wear and tear OF her
arduous occupation. She says:
Through improper food, imperfect
" digested. my health was complete
" wrecked, and / attribute my recoy-
cry entirely to the regular use OF
Grape-Nuts food. It has, assure you,
proyen an inestimable boon to me.
almost Immediately after beginning
the use of Grape-Nuts l found a graft
fying change in my condition. The ter
rible weakness that formerly pros
trated me after few hours OF work
was perceptibly lessened and Is now
only a memory-it never returns.
"Ten days after beginning on Grape
Nuts / experienced a wonderful In
crease In mental vigor and physical
energy, and continued use has entire
ly freed me from the miserable In
semnia and nervousness from WHICH
I used to suffer SO much.

and would not be without the crisp
delicious food for even q day on am
consideration. Indeed, / always carr!

a way to dispose of the sewage. A
few have water systems installed, ana
the waste has been run into streams

dangerous things unless very far re-

proper cesspool is the best and cheap

are now feeding silage report that the
cattle show gains after being taken on
pasture and put on this green feed.
The hay crop is short all over the
country and roughage will be higher
than usual. In addition to this, the
corn In many localities has been dam
aged by the drouth and it is more
necessary than ever to prepare to
save what is left. Forty per cent. OF
the feeding value of the corn plant Ii
i'm the stalks and leaves in the aver
age crop. This years drouth will de-
crease the yield of corn below the av-
erage. and this per cent. will be In
creased in many cases to 80 or 30 per
cent; in a few fields the stalks will
be practically all that IL left. To all
farmers SO situated. the building OF
silo is imperative. A siio properly
filed will overcome your shortage In
corn and give you the beat kind Of
feed for your stock this winter and
next summer.

His Future Expenditures.

Among the most frequent requests
that go to the United States senate
are those asking some prominent
member to give money to charity or
ganizations, hospitals and other phi
lanthropic undertakings. One day
charity worker asked Senator Flint
of California, who is not wealthy
man, to give a large sum OF money
for a free ward in one of the hos,
pitfalls.
Il am sorry that cannot comply
with your request" said the senator
gravely; but, Judging from the mum
Der of similar demands that have beer
made upon me in the past, have de
cided that I can promote a greater
charity. The vast amount of money
spent on hospitals in this town con
yinces me that thousands of people
are going to die and be buried with
out flowers. Hereafter, shall devot'
my spare money exclusively to send
ing flowers to the dead."-The Sur

person. The secret of success lies IN
the way that the sewage goes In ana
how the clear water comes out. The
TOP OF the tank should be below the
level OF the point where the sewer
pipe leaves the cellar. AS the Inlet
pipe enters one end OF the tank, 1t
should have an elbow that turns down
to within IS inches of the bottom.
This pipe should be four inches IN
diameter and have tight joints. the
fall in 1t should be not less than one
fourth inch to the foot.
The outlet pipe should dip down, so
that the inner end is IL inches below
the top of the tank, and the outer end
should BIO only about one inch below
the top of the tank. This tank may
be located anywhere outside OF the
cellar wall where the fall may be had
