FROM THE EDITOR. He Forgot That He Had a Stomach

Talking Of food. there is probably no professional man subjected to greater, more wearing mental strain thar the responsible editor of modern newspaper.
 .ro keep his mental faculties con- staTtly in good working order, the edJcor must keep his physical powers up 10 the highest rate of efficiency. Nuthing will so quickly upset the whole system as badly selected food and a disordered stomach. It there- fore follows that he should have right food. which can ba readily as- siuiilated, and which fuynlshes true brfin nourishment.
 My personal experience in the use of Grape-Nuts and Postum." writes a Philadelphia editor, 'so exactly agrees with your advertised claim as to their merits that any further ex- position in that direction would seem to be superfiuous. They have bene- fited me so much. however. during the five years that have used them that I do not feel Justified in with holding my testimony.
 General high living with all that the expression implies as to generous table, brought about indi- gestion. in my case. with restless ness at night and lassitude in the moSning, accompanied by various paips and distressing sensations during working hours.
 ''The doctor diagnosed the condi- tio7 as 'catarrh of the stomach and prescribed various medicines. which did me no good. I finally threw phesics to the dogs gave up tea an1 coffee and heavy meat dishes and adopted 6rape-Nuts and Postum as she chief articles of my diet.
 T can conscientiously say. and wish to say 1t with all the emphasis possible to the English language. that they have benefited me as med icines never did. and more than any other food that ever came on my table.
 My experience Is that the Grape Nuts food has steadied and strens.a' ened both brain and nerves to most positive degree. How 1t does 1t cannot say. but I know that after breakfasting on Grape-Nuts food one actually forgets he has stomach let alone stomach trouble Ii Is, In my opinion. the most beneficial as we'll as the most economical food on the market. and has absolutely no rival" Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich.

The bill to admit Oklahoma as a state was under dis cussion and Senator Gallinger had in- troduced an amendment providing that no intoxicating liquor should be sold in the new state for twenty one years. Then the Alabama senator rose in his seat and solemnly proposed to MT. Gallingers amendment-an amend ment to the effect that no one should sell or give intoxicating drinks to the inhabitants of the new state, "ex- eept wines which were made in the United States"
 Senator Gallinger. who is the head and front of every reform movement which reaches the senate. looked with absolute horror at his friend from Ala bama The New Hampshire senator had in front of him in imagination a picture of the five civilized tribes lay. ing in seasons supply of California pOtI anu ulsoOuii AAc hastened to tell the senate that Indians could get drunk on the American prod uct as rapidly and as completely as they could on the product of the vine yards of France, and that there were ac many warpath possibilities in a bot tie of one as in bottle of the other.
