IT'S FOOD
That Restores and Makes Health
Possible.

There are stomach specialists as
well as eye and ear and other special
lists.
One of these told a young lady. of
New Brunswick, n. j., to quit medi-
cines and eat Grape-Nuts. She says:
For about IL months l suffered Sc
verely with gastritis l was unable
TO retain much of anything on my
stomach, and consequently was COM
PEELED to give up my occupation.
Il took quantities of medicine, and
had an idea l was dieting, but l con-
tinued TO suffer, and soon lost Is
pounds in weight. / was depressed
in spirits and lost interest in every
thing generally. My mind was so af-
fected that it was impossible to be-
come interested in even the Iightest
reading matter.
After suffering for months 1 de
Cided to go to a stomach specialist.
He put me on Grape-Nuts and my
health began to improve Immediately.
1t was the keynote of a new life
Il found that l had been eating too
much starchy food which did not di-
gest, and that the cereals which l had
tried had been too heavy. I soon
proved that it Is not the quantity of
food that one eats, but the quality.
In a few weeks l was able to go
back to my old business of doing cler-
icaI work. I have continued to eat
Grape-Nuts for both the morning and
evening meal. wake in the morning
with clear mind and feel rested.

EnoIand,s Oldest School.

A controversy has arisen in England
as to which school has the right to
claim greatest age. There are two
schools which were founded in the
early part of the seventh century-the
Kings school, Rochester, and the
Kings school, Canterbury. Justus, on
his appointment to the see of Roches-
ter in 604, made provision for school
in connection with the cathedral. Au-
gustine established the Canterbury
school about the same time. St. Pc
ter's at York dates back to the eley-
enth century.

New Science of ShoeooIgy.
The very latest index finger point
ing out what sort Of person our neigh
Dor is has just been pointed by Dr.
Care of Basic. Switzerland, in his
new science, "Scarpology." "Scarpol-
ogy' is a word derived from the ItaI-
ian and Greek and signifies the sci
ence of shoes, in other words, Shoe
ology."
AS man of science, DR.. Care
starts scientifically thus: "Scarpology
is the art of reading character or
weaknesses Of men and women by
the way they use their shoes. The
eyes are the mirror of the soul, de-
clare the poets, but show me one of
your shoes after two months wear,
and l will tell you your character"
According to DR.. Garre. the heel of
the shoe worn evenly shows a man
of energy, a good worker; and in a
woman, a good mother. If worn on
the outside only, the weaEer is man
of initiative; if the outside tread is
excessive, it may perhaps Denote ten

sweet disposition in woman.

Consider This Advice,

No woman should submit to surgf-
cal operation, which may mean death,
until she has given Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound fair trial.
This famous medicine, made only
from roots and herbs, has for thirty
years proved to be the most valuable
tonic and invigorator of the female
organism. Women residing in almost
every city and town in the United
States bear willing testimony to the
wonderful virtue of Lydia Z. Pink

TREND Of COTTON
MARKET IS UPWARD
Volume of Business Dwindling
and the Crop Outcome Still
Uncertain.
BY Leased Wire 70 The Tribune


NEW YORK, Aug. 1s.-while the VOL
ume OF business in cotton has been much
smaller the past week. and most traders
have maintained their bearish position on
the market, the trading tendency Of prices
has been gradually upward. This has
been due to much greater support from
former bull leaders and nervousness of
shorts because OF insufficient rains In
Texas and Oklahoma. Most OF the I'M
proyement, however. was made In yes-
terdays advance Of about 20 points. This
rise closed the market, then Just about
80 to 40 points up from the lowest OF last
Saturday morning. The labor trouble In
the Liverpool market for spot cotton but
prices there have advanced considerable
n proportion with the rise here, and New
orleans responded in sympathy.
The outlook for the present level Is one

where crops have been deteriorating.
some think tho loss In condition In Texas
IS as much as IL points and 10 In Okla

gia from grain centers.
Estimates OF 1880. 900 bales which
were made by conservative trade inter-
ests OF experience have since been cut
down to 1i.ooo,0oo. There never was any
commencing to realize that even on the
conservative calculations unduly optinis-
Tic opinions with regard to the probable
yield were formed and that the next gov
ernment crop report will cause general
trade sentiment. to crystalize around a
crop Of not much over IA 000, 900 bales as
the real situation and outlook.
