WELL POSTED.
A California Doctor With Forty Years
Experience.

'In my forty years experience as a
teacher and practitioner along ny
gienic lines" says a Los Angeles
physician, Il have never found a food
to compare with Grape-Nuts for the
benefit OF the general health Of all
classes of people.
81 have recommended Grape-Nuts
for a number Of years to patients with
the greatest success and every years
experience makes me more enthusiast
tic regarding its use.
Il make it a rule to always recon-
mend Grape-Nuts, and Postum in place
Of coffee, when giving my patients in
structions as to diet, for I know both
Grape-Nuts and Postum can be digest
ed by anyone.
CAS- for myself, when engaged in
much mental work my diet twice
day consists of Grape-Nuts and rich
cream. I find it just the thing to-
build up gray matter and keep ths
brain in good working order.
fIn addition to its wonderful effects
as a brain and nerve food Grape-Nuts
always keeps the digestive organs In
perfect, healthy tone. I carry it with
me when I travel, otherwise I am al
most certain to have trouble with my
stomach" Name given by Postum Co..
Battle Greek, Mich.
Strong endorsements like the above
from physicians all over the country
have stamped Grape-Nuts the most
scientific food in the world. There's
a reason"
Look in pkgs for the famous little
book, "The Road to MELVILLE"
Ever read the above letter. new
enc appears from time TO tine. They
are genuine. true, and full OF humaA

The Only WAY.

An elder while baptizing converts at
a revival meeting advanced with a
wiry, sharp-eyed old chap into the
water. He asked the usual question.
whether there was any reason why
the ordinance of baptism should not
be administered. After a pause a tall.
pOwerful-looking man who was looking
quietly on remarked:
Elder, l don't want to interfere In
yer business, but I want to say that
this is an old sinner you have got hold
Of, and that one dip won't do him any
good; you'll have to anchor him out in
deep water over night. Life

Voque in outer earments.

According to the Dry Goods Econo-
mist, at the present time retailers are
featuring wraps of charmeuse and
satin. The best sellers are the me-
dium-priced numbers retailing from $40
to $50. These are usually attractively
lined in some bright color, giving a
pleasing contrast. Lace collars and
cuffs are often used as a finishing
touch and are very effective, while
white lace is used largely for this pur-
pose. Some garments are shown trim
med with black lace, which is cut away
to show the lining underneath.

CLAIM LAW NOT ENFORCED
County Superintendents Criticise In
dustrial Board for Attitude on
Compulsory Education.

arinette-Chargin that the new
state Industrial board was created to
give fat jobs to politicians, the coun-
ty superintendent ins convention
here sharply attacked C. H. Crown
hart, head Of the state industrial
board, for not enforcing the compul-
sorry school attendance law.
CToWnhart was present and spoke
on the work of the board, which
should enforce the truancy law.
When he finished he said he would
attempt to answer any criticisms Of
the boards work. A storm OF de-
nunciations followed, the principal
complaint being that the Industrial
board does not enforce prosecution,
and that the hands of superintend-
ents are tied under the present con-
ditions.
Warren E. Hicks, a Cleveland man
who has been engaged as expert to
help establish public evening yoca-
tionaI schools, spoke on possibilities
Of new work. He said in all his edu-
cationaI experience he has found dull
pupils and pupils Of poor people
have less chance to get training
which they need even more than
bright pupils, and that industrial
schools required by the new law in
all cities Of over 5000 will meet the
need
The association elected the follow
ing officers:
President, c. W. Meisnest, Mani
towoc; vice president, Helen Martin,

the requirement interferes with the

Only Flag There Old Glory.


Tn dinner was given in the apart
ments of Representative Rucker in
the Rochambeau. While this was a
reunion of Confederate veterans, there
were no decorations Of Confederate
flags. The only flag was the Stars
and Stripes" which hung above the
head of the table Chief Justice White
of the Supreme court at the request
of the host acted as POSTMASTER.
Each guest had a story to tell Of the
Civil war, including some OF his per
sonaI experiences. There we're no
outsiders present to hear the old sol
dieTs fight their battles over.
The chief justice of the United
States was a private in the Confeder-
ate army and so was his colleague of
the bench, Mr.. Justice Lurton. Lur-
ton served with General Buckner and
was present at Fort DonelsOn when
it was captured by General Grant.
Lurton was among the prisoners. He
was only a boy at that time and the
chances are that the northern general
had no thought that among the men
whom he had captured after they had
made a heroic resistance was a fu-
ture justice of the Supreme court.
This reunion of Confederates was
Intentionally set for the National
Memorial day as a tribute of the south
to the heroes of the Federal army
against whom the guests of the re-
union fought for four long years on
many battle fields. The dinner was
cooked by southern black "mammies"
who were known to be experts in the
art of preparing food after the famous
southern style.
Big Gettysburg Reunion.
Government aid has been asked OF
congress to forward the interests Of
the grand reunion of the soldiers of
the blue and the gray at the fftieth
anniversary of the battle Of Gettys-
burg. Committees have been appoint
ed composed Of northern and southern
veterans to appear before the com
mittees of congress on behalf of
monetary aid for the reunion. The at
temp will be to secure from the law
makers authorization for the secre-
tary of war to order board Of army
officers to go to Gettysburg to make
| arrangements for the camp Of the vet
Grams, to see to it that there is ade-
quate and proper water supply, and
! that the sanitation and sewerage of
the camping ground are perfect and
that the best hospital facilities are
afforded
Further than this the secretary Of
war, if congress agrees, will be asked
to provide all the equipment and the
rations for the blue and the gray vet
Grams during the continuance of the
encampment. The program Of the
events will be in charge of the Gettys-
burg commission and everything is to
| be carried out under the instructions
| of army officers. It is expected that
an appropriation of $4,000 will be
granted, which will cover about half
the living expenses" Of the reunion.
It is expected that another S150,0O0
will be granted from the sum of $780,
600 appropriated by the state of
Pennsylvania within whose borders
the reunion occurs.
