BREAKFAST A COSTLY MEAL
DEFEAT OF RECIPROCITY SENDS
CERTAIN THINGS SKYWARD.

Woes of the Housewife.

Woes Of fle housewife
CHTCAGO.-Food stuffs which
might have been affected by an influx
of Canadian products had Laurier
and his government not been defeat
ed in Canada rose sharply in price
in all American supply centers the
dav after the election. Wheat led
the advance and was followed late in
the day by flour, when millers ignor-
ed their previous price lists and ad-
iusted their figures more commensu-
rate with the advanced cost of the
grain staple.
Oats, too, felt the effect of the
Canadian vote, and as result con-
sumers may expect soon to pay in
creased prices for breakfast foods.
The initial meal of the day, in fact,
seems destined to bear the brunt of
the higher living costs within the
next few months, and it needed only
tOday's developments in the trading
pits to add force to the recent ad-
vances in coffee and sugar. The cost
of toast and biscuit, wheat cakes and
porridge, it is probable, will be added
to the woes OF the housekeeper.
The greatest advance in wheat
during the day was at Duluth. There
traders were paying as high as s
cents a busheI more for the grain
than they did before reciprocity was
rejected. Minneapolis, the greatest
milling center of the country, showed
a maximum net advance of cents.
Increases of less sensational char
acter were recorded at Kansas City,
St. Louis, Omaha and Chicago, i'm
mense stocks of grain in the elevat-
ors of this city acting as a check to
a severe advance here, and brokers
on the Board of Trade bought wheat
for about cents more a bushel than
they had paid yesterday The Chi
cago market was the lowest of the
important grain centers.
1t is by no means certain that to-
days advances in the price of wheat
and allied foodstuffs indicate that the
maximum has been reached. One Of
the most prominent wheat traders
of Chicago advanced the opinion that
spring wheat, the kind used most ex-
tensively for fine -four, is due to in
crease in cost 20 cents a bushel.
There is no guarantee that the extra
ordinary selling which today held
down the price in Chicago and indi-
rectly affected the markets in other
cities will be long continued.

: BUSINESS WOMEN y
A Lunch Fit for a Klnn.

An active and successful young
lady tells her food experiences:
\ Some years ago I 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 of my mind
failing me altogether. My stomach
was in bad condition (nervous dyspep-
STA, I think now) and when Grape
Nuts food was recommended to me,
had no faith in it However. 1 tried
1t, and soon there was marked i'm
provement in my condition
7 had been troubled with faint
spells, and had used a stimulant to
revive me. 1 found that by eating
Grape-Nuts at such times I was re-
lieved and suffered no bad effects,
which was a 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
I derived from the use of Grape-Nuts
as q noon luncheon. I 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 q nickefs
worth of sweet cream to add to It
II found that this simple dish, I'm
ished on with an apple, peach. orange,
or bunch of grapes made a lunch 1T
for q king, and one that agreed with
me perfectly.
Il throve so on my Grape-Nuts diet
that did not have to give MP my work
at all, and in the two years have had
only four lost days charged mp against

This way to meet pneumonia's swift thrust is
the discovery of Dr. August Francis Schafer, a
country practitioner of Bakersfield, California If
DR.. Schafer had been in Paris instead of an oil
town in the depths of California we would have
been electrified by his discovery two years ago.
AS 1t Is, he waited until he could bring it forth
with its record of two thousand before he
even took into his confidence the nearest medical
society. Without those two thousand cases doc
tors would have been free to doubt With them
ne mas met the professional requirement of an in
fallible remedy.
How has he done it? How could a country doc
tor discover what all the laboratories of Europe
have failed to reveal? These natural ques-
tons But it not a huke. The discovery was
not made by accident. DR.. Schafer studied dis
germs diligently for years and developed
a laboratory not matched in the hospitals of San
Francisco before he injected his anttoxin into
human being. Then he tried it himself

student with thorough knowledge of medicine
and surgery He would have worked out his theo-
ries anywhere. The accident lay in the fact that
he lived in Bakersfield.
The Pneumonia Test.
No more severe test could have been given the
antitoxin than Bakersfield has afforded in the
past two years. In that district pneumonia accom-
panies most diseases, often in the duplex form.
In ten per cent. of the assesses develop in

Moreover, it comes swiftly and strikes suddenly.
The oil rushes have built towns in a night. Rapid

to bed feeling badly and seen the end of
the next day. They have fallen in the streets
