Return of the Walnut.

The wood of our fathers, the good old black walnut" that was reckoned the supreme cabinet material of 50 years ago, has come back. True, they call 1t American walnut" now, and the deep, purplish brown which is the true glory of the stuff; but 1t is the same old wood in spite of all. May it soon get back it's ancient name and more than it's ancient popularity.

 'I don't want to be disagreeable, !" he said, but this nonsense has got to end for me. Shall we invite my chauf- feur in?"
 His voice was quiet enough, but his meaning was clear and the vexation that his tone implied was sincere. Brand was good at bluff, but he was ready, too. to back a threat with deeds. The storm cloud was about to break. Jane saw 1t and felt her first alarm.
 Wait" she said excitedly, wait just a minute. Bob shall know all he wants and more"
 Then, if you don't mind" the mil lionaire suggested. Tets be seated"
 He fetched chair to Jane
 "Bob," his wife began, If you want to learn all the truth you've got to learn 1t from me. MT. Brand can tell you why he has come here-be- cause I asked him to. But that is all. That night, five weeks ago when he came for the first time we heard what he proposed I heard 1t as we'll as you You formed your opinion and gave your verdict and I formed mine"
 Brand raised his hand.

THREE REASONS Each With Two Lega and Ten Fingers.

A Boston woman who is fond moth CT writes an amusing article about her experience feeding her boys.
 Among other things she says: Three chubby, rosy-cheeked boys, Bob, Jack, and Dick, respectively, are three of our reasons for using and recommending the food, Grape-Nuts, for these youngsters have been fed on Grape-Nuts since infancy, and often between meals when other children would have been given candy.
 T gave package of Grape-Nuts to a neighbor whose 3-year-old child was a weazened little thing, ill half the time. The little tot ate the Grape-Nuts and cream greedily and the mother continued the good work, and it was not long before truly wonderful change manifested itself in the child's face and body. The results were re- markable, even for Grape-Nuts.
 Both husband and use Grape Nuts every day and keep strong and well and have three of the finest, healthiest boys you can find in days march"
 Many mothers instead of destroying the children's stomachs with candy and cake give the youngsters hand ful of Grape-Nuts when they are beg ging for something in the way or sweets. The result Is soon shown ln greatly increased health. strength ana mental activity.

in country where 80 per cent of the
population live by the soil This was
a blow at the very heart of the
people.
So the two great forces of destruc-
ton, war and disease, have thrown
upon the shoulders of neutral Amer
lea the care of 10000 wandering Or
phans. Many of them are in parts
of the country which are strange to
them. They do not know who nor
where their relatives are. Many of
them do not even know their own
names. They are roaming aimlessly
about the country, in the fields and
woods, caring for themselves or dy-
ing for lack of care!
They wander in little forlorn bands
about desolate parts of the country,
or if they are near villages they go
to these settlements and beg for
crumbs.
During the summer the babes
have been sleeping in the open
fields and woods. But winter is al
ready approaching and it is not diff
ficult to imagine, if one is willing to
face the truth, what will happen to
the greater part of these waits of
war.
Some of them are beggars. They
go in little throngs to funeral, be-
cause Serbians never pass beggar,
and it is customary in that country
to give something to every attendant
at a funeral in memory of the dead.

THE NEW LIQUOR SHIPPING LAW
Statute That Went Into Effect July
4 is Very Drastic One.

The new law on the shipment Of
intoXicants that went into effect
July is certainly drastic enough to
suit the most radical prohibitionist.
The most important provisions,
which are as follow:
Every station agent must keep a
special record book in which must
be transcribed every shipment of al
coholic and malt liquor.
The name of the consignor, with
a full description of the intoxicants,
together with all particulars as to
date and place of shipment and re-
ceipt must appear in full.
No delivery can be made except
to the consignee personally and af-
ter he has signed his own or firm
name, with date. No orders of any
kind for delivery can be accepted.
The book is to be always open to
the inspection of the public or of
any peace officer.

The overflowing audience is a
splendid tribute to the fine sense of

IOWA'S POPULATION.
Complete Reports From Fifty-one
Counties Indicate Increase of
Six Per Cent.

Census returns received from fif-
ty-one out of ninety-nine counties
of Iowa show a gain of GA per cent
in population.
From partial returns from the
other forty-eight counties, it is in
dicated that the per cent of increase
will be maintained and that the final
result will show a gain between 6
and per cent for the entire state.
In 1910 Iowa had 2,224,771 popu-
lation, A gain of 6 Y per cent will
give the state population of 2,S69,-

OF the ffty-one counties of which
the census returns are complete,
eight show decrease in population.

STRIKE WHISKY OFF DRUG LIST
No NIP" to be Got in Pharmacy
Next Year Unless it has
Saloon License.

Washington, D. c., July S.-The
drug store blind pig" is doomed
No blind pig" harbored by any
druggist is now so bereft of vision
that he will not be able to see clear
ly after Jan. 1, 1916, that the game
is up.
Sight is to be restored to the drug
store blind pigs by major oper-
alton performed by fifty-one Of the
foremost physicians in the United
States, constituting the National
Pharmacopoeia committee. The op-
Grafton which already has been per-
formed consisted of cutting whisky
and brandy from the new edition of
the United States pharmacopoeia.
This means that whisky and bran
dy have been declared officially to be
neither drugs nor medicine. The
new edition of the pharmacopoeia
will be issued about Jan. 1, 1915,
and after that time brandy and whis-
ky cannot legally be sold by drug
gists as medicine.
After that time it will be neces-
sary for the druggist to Danish whis-
ky and brandy from his store or take
out retail liquor dealers license
and become classed as saloonkeep-
er. Instead of paying only the $25
federal liquor permit fee as at pres
ent, he will be compelled, if he con-
tinues to sell whisky and brandy, to
pay the much higher local license
rates and comply with state and mu-
nicipal liquor regulations.
The action of the pharmacopoeia
committee is recognized as a severe
blow to the liquor traffic, particular
ly in dry" districts, where it is
next to impossible to obtain spirits
except in the guise of medicine at
drug stores. The step also will put
out of business a number of patent
medicines which practically are lit
tie more than whisky or brandy and
are chiefly valued for that character.
No one is able to estimate how
many drug stores throughout the
country will be wiped out as a re-
suit of this decision. 1t is gener-
ally admitted that in dry" terri
tory the number of drug stores is
undoubtedly much larger than it
will be after it is impossible to sell
liquor as medicine. In many locaii-
ties, however, many druggists have
voluntarily given up the saloon Ii
iquor.
1t is known that one of the main
reasons why the revision committee
took action as it did is that compar-
atively few physicians now prescribe
liquor even as tonic. The number
| of persons who obtain from their
physicians prescription for whisky
or brandy is small. Even so-called
pure malt whiskies'' will be tabooed
| by the new order. They cannot be
sold from drug stores.

Warning to Motorists.

Stop your motor, better be safe
than sorry" This sign is being used
at great many places where gaso-
line is sold to auto owners. AS a re-

motor was running several cars have
been destroyed by fire over the coun-
try. Circulars have been sent out
by the Standard Oil company not to
deliver gasoline to cars unless the
owner stops the motor.
