BUILT RIGHT.
Stomach, Nerves and Thinker Restor-
ed by Grape-Nuts Food.

The number of persons whose all
ments were such that no other food
could be retained at all, is large and
reports are on the increase.
For IL years suffered from dys-
pepsia, finding no food that did not
distress me- writes a Wisconsin lady.
Il was reduced from 145 to 80 lbs,
gradually growing weaker until
could leave my bed only a short while
at time, and became unable to speak
aloud.
Three years ago l was attracted by
an article on Grape-Nuts and decided
to try it.
My stomach was SO weak could
not take cream, but used Grape-Nuts
with milk and lime water. II helped
me from the first, building up my sys-
tenn in a manner most astonishing to
the friends who had thought my re.
covery impossible.
Soon | was able to take rape-lyuts
and cream for breakfast and lunch at
night, with an egg and Grape Nuts for
dinner.
Il am now able to eat fruit, meat
and nearly all vegetables for dinner
but only continue Grape-Nsts for
breakfast and supper.
AT the time of beginning Grape
Nuts | could scarcely speak a sen
tence without changing words around
or talking crooked in some way but
have become SO strengthened that
no longer have that trouble. Name

OPTIMISM, THE KEYNOTE
John E. Craig, Or. a. 3. Hughes, Or.
Ed. Newcomb and o. B. Towns
Are Called on for
Talks.

Optimism as to the future develop
ment OF the city was the keynote Of
the brotherhood banquet OF the West
minister Presbyterian church last
night. At the same time speakers
urged ways by which the brotherhood
can be made great force in accom-.
plishing this prosperity.
w. A. Loeffler, president Of the
brotherhood, presided and introduced
as the first speaker of the evening,
John e. Craig. Two new members
we're proposed by the membership
committee.
Mr.. Craig spoke on Our Relation to
a Better Citizenship" He declared the
relation of the brotherhood Of the
church to the progress of the city was
very material. A better citizenship in
the Westminster brotherhood should 20
hand in hand with tie material prog.
ress of the city; that the brotherhood
could be great force for good work
ing together in the city.
DR.. A. B. Hughes spoke on ''Ten Tai
ents Use of Our Church Plant" He
advocated making more use OF the
church plant. Tie members Of the
church had an investment Of s75,n00
and yet It's plant was used only few
hours each week. He urged reading
rooms and rest rooms for the members
of the church, to make 1t a social cen
ter for them. DR.. g. B. Newcomb, pas
tor Of the church made a short talk
along the line of DR.. Hughes remarks.
C. B. Towne, new manager of the
Industrial Association, was a guest Of
the brotherhood and he was called up
on for speech. Mr.. Towne expressed
unbounded faith in the future prosper
ity of the city and said he could see
no reason for anything else but conf
dence and optimism.
The banquet was served by the
Ladies' Sewing Society Ct the church.
There we're about sixty men present.

WASHINGTON D. G.. Oct 20
Now is the harvest time of American
importers Never before, customs Of
fcials say, has business been so profit
able for this class of merchants.
Ever since the election Of Woodrow
Wilson upon platform pledging
downward revision of the tariff on
some articles and free trade in others,
the importers of this country have
been living in joyous anticipation of
enormous profits. They have been
busy for almost twelve months
buying in every other country under
the sun those articles upon which they
thought the tariff would be reduced,
land either storing them at the places
of purchase or shipping them to the
PORTS of the United States, where they
were placed in bond in government
warehouses, to be held until the I'm
derwood bill should be enacted into
law.
AS the day for the signing of the
bill drew nearer, the withdrawal OF
goods in bond ceased almost alto
lGether The importers withdrew only
the kinds Of goods they had run out
Of and which their customers were
demanding. Since the law went into
effect, the rush has been the greatest

The records of the treasury depart
ment do not disclose anything ap
Iproaching it.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Oct. 20
Senator Kenyon few nights ago was
invited by man who said he had been
rescued from the drink habit to ac-
company him to a sort of rescue mis-
sion, located on the edge of the red
light district of Washington The hall
was filed with down and cutters"
Songs were sung and one man read a
poem. The senator then was intro
duced by his friend and the derelicts
clapped their hands vigorously.
Senator Kenyon declared that the
saloon is the greatest organized foe
TO humanity. 1t is terrible power,
hut 1t is doomed, he said. 1T is only
Il question of time" the senator con
tinued, when as an institution 1t will
be something of the past, thing that
future generations will exhibit at
state and county fairs as relic of the
past, when people Dragged Of their
highly developed christian civiliza-
ton, and yet tolerated it and protect
ed 1t by law"
The senator told the men he was in
sympathy with their organization, as
he understood the principles, the main
one of which was to reach out help
ing hand to fellow men who have
slipped and lost their footing.
In closing, Senator Kenyon said his
endeavors would be to make Washing
ton a clean city. In explanation of
this remark the senator said it relat-
ed to the pushing Of further red light
district legislature.
WASHINGTON, D. c., Oct. 20
Governor Hiram Johnson of California,
who was the bull moose candidate for
vice president last year, has been
speaking In the New Jersey campaign
in behalf of Everett Colby, bull moose
candidate for governor, during the last
week, and has been fairly tearing up
the sod. In a speech at Trenton he
said that when the initiative, the ref
erendum and the recall and all the
other principles contained in the pro
gressive platform had been placed

upon the statute books of every state
in the union, as they surely would be,
he declared. then and not until then,
could the republican party, the party
Losses, crooks and reactionaries, hope
for amalgamation.
In another speech Governor John
son said: AS in every new party,
there are some timid, shrinking or self
seeking individuals, some to whom
the lure of Office is more potent than
principle, but these are very slen-
der majority of the progressive party"
This statement of the California
governor regarding the timid and
shrinking ones has directed attention
to himself and to William Finn Of
Pittsburgh, Medill Mccormick of Chi
cago, and Albert ]. Beveridge.
Mr.. Beyeridge has been speaking
10th in New Jersey and in Massa-
chusetts. The Boston Record said of
one of his meetings that mir. Bever-
idge has the capacity to stir up
an audience, but he appears to have
been considerably mixed up last
night"
Colonel Roosevelt's sister, Mrs.
Douglas Robinson. has contributed to
the New Jersey campaign a message
which she said the colonel gave her
the day he sailed for South America.
1t was that there was not another
man in the whole country he would
rather see elected than Everett Colby,
literally the pioneer progressive and
practical idealist.
WASHINGTON, D. c., Oct. 20
During the last few days Representa-
tive Pepper has received a large num-
her of letters from democrats over
the state urging him to announce his
candidacy for the senate and pledging
him support. Letters of this sort
have been coming to Mr.. Pepper
in greater or less numbers since last
March, but at no time has there been
anything like the number that has
reached his desk during the last ten
days.
Mr. Pepper seems loath to make up
his mind on this question until he can
go out to the state and talk personally
with his old friends Of the second dis
trict, to whom ne feels he owes very
much. He feels sure Of one thing,
however, he said today, and that is
that the nominee Of the democratic
primary next June would succeed Sen
ator Cummins in the senate.
There Is no denying that Mr.. Pep
lper is well liked by Majority Leader
Underwood, who was candidate at
Baltimore and is prime favorite OF
Speaker Clark, but it also is true that
during the present extra session OF
congress he has made two set
speeches warmly commencing the Will
son policies and that he is not looked
upon as CLARK man. in Washing
ton. In the preconvention campaign

NYAssA's WONDERFUL GROWTH.

Fifteen years ago the mission of
Nyassaland was made Vicarate Apos-
tolic. In this immense territory,
larger than France, the Catholic
Church fifteen years ago counted not
single soul. To-day she has two
bishops, 55 missionaries, 500 catech-
lists, 10000 Christians and more than
5000 catechumens.
The labor devolving upon the apos-
tolic workers in mission that has
been erected into vicarate can hardly
be imagined. The toll is doubled:
that first undertaken must be deveI
oped, that more recently begun pushed
on, and all projects must become
realities. Unfortunately workers and
resources do not grow in proportion.
The formation of a native clergy in
Nyassa is of the utmost Importance.
The seed is there; it has terminated
and only asks room for growth.
Among the young Christian youths
there is really an embarrassment of
choice for seminarians.

CALL FOR MISSIONARIES.

The Epiphany Apostolic College
and st. Joseph's Seminary, Wallbrook,
Baltimore, conducted by the Joseph
lite Fathers, are the nurseries OF
priests for the Negro missions.
There are fully 100000 OF the
colored race in this country, less
than 10000 of whom are members OF
the true Church More than half do
not profess any kind of Christianity.
From every part of the South the
loud call for missionaries to the
Negro is heard. The Bishops of the
Southern States are asking for mis-
sionaries to open Churches and
schools in their dioceses.
Therefore, young men who are
anxious to do something for human
ity are invited to consider the mis-
sionary vocation for the conversion of
the Negro Race in America. Those
who feel the grace of God working in
their hearts and who desire to leave
all and follow Christ will be welcomed
to become candidates for the priest
hood in st. Joseph's Society.
For further information regarding
admission to Epiphany Apostolic Col
lege and about the work, address
Rev. Joseph P. Hanley.

WHY WE AID HEATHENs.

II can conceive that someone may
say: We need everything at home.
We have thousands and ten of thous-
ands without education. Half the pop
ulation of London never go to Church,
perhaps half have never been bap-
tized, or if they have, they live as if
they never had been. Here is our
heather world. Here is our mission
airy work. Why then send mission
aries into other lands?'
"The answer is: If you wish to
put out a fire you have to stifie it.
Keep down the flame of the love of
God and of your neighbor, and it will
soon die out.
This answer would be sufficient,
but we have an ampler reply; Our
Divine Lord has promised, Give, and
it shall be given to you Therefore,
if | did not know how to find the
means even to build school, should
not refuse aims to send the Gospel to
the heather. Be assured that the same
Lord who is Almighty is also gen
erous. He is able and willing to give
us all we want. 1t is an axiom OF
faith, that the Church was never yet
made poor by giving its last farthing
for the salvation of souls"
Cardinal Manning.

TONkIN BEAUTIFUL FROM A
SPIRITUAL POINT OF VIEW.

Central Tonkin is without doubt
IRENE Orient; the Christians are very
docile, respectful and anxious to OBJ
serve the rules of religion. But alas {!
it is also, perhaps, the poorest from
material point of view and also in
it's lack of priests
These words were written by Bishop
Munagorri, o. P, and give graphic
pen picture of the mission in ques-
ton. Conversions have been numer-
Gus, no less than 250,000 Christians
being distributed over the 740 dis,
tricts. There remain, however, 2,000,
900 Buddhists still outside the fold
of Christ. To reach this vast horde
not less than 800 priests should be
placed at the Bishops disposal, and
he has only about $50 active mission
aries. Of these, 7S are European and
the remainder native.
One of the hopeful signs of the Ton
kin mission is the frequency with
which vocations occur. Indeed the
udLlV0 dpOSLI0S are the uldluSLdy VI
the work. They render devoted and
effective service, and it is earnestly
hoped by the Bishop that he will Sc
cure the money necessary to educate
a greater number of these young
men. The expense of the entire
course does not exceed $500.
Here are some figures showing the
exact results of the past year: 447,371
confessions; 100000 communions; 10,
1872 baptisms in articuIo mortis; SILT
baptisms for children; 463 baptisms
of pagan adults.
A good record, surely, but even this
could be greatly increased by add
tional workers.
