OB1TUARY. A Kind Woman at Rest. On last Friday morning Oct. 11th, at the home of her daughter, Mrs. H. E. Jacobs, 1238 20th street, occurred the death of Mrs. Daniel Roy, who had been a sufferer from dropsy for more then two years and during this time she bore her suffering like a true christian hero, without a murmur. Mary Ann Stewart, her maiden name, was the youngest daughter of Dennis and Agnes Stewart. She was born in Henry county, Mo., Oct. 30, 1847, was married to Daniel Roy in Albia, Ia., Aug. 12, 1869, and lived with her husband until he died. To this union five children were born, four of whom are living namely, William, Mrs. H. E. Jacobs, Charles, and Mrs. Wm. Russ. She also leaves two sisters and a brother, Mesdames Wm. Boyd and Vincent Harris of Jacksonville, Ill., and Mr. Winfield Scott of Little Rock, Ark., besides a number of other relatives and a host of sorrowing friends in this city and her former home, Leon, Iowa. She was a true construt wife, a dear loving mother and was kind to all whom she met. She was a devout christian and a member of Union Congregational church. The funeral was held from the home of her daughter, conducted by Rev. H. W. Porter, assisted by Revs. J. M. Harris, T. L. Griffith, W. S. Brooks and Dr. Dulin. The pall bearers were Messrs.

An Irishman who had begun to practice photography went into a shop to purchase a small bottle in which to mix some of his solutions. Seeing one he asked, he asked the chemist how much it would be. "Wc!," said the chemist, "it will be twice as it is, but if you want anything in it, I won't charge you for the bottle." "Then," said Pat; "a pork in it." MILLION DOLLAR NEGRO CORPORATION. Rev. T. L. Griffith visits Metropolitan Mercantile & Realty Co's Department store in Baltimore --Concern has built scores of homes, and owns big savings bank--Its stock has paid 7 per cent for years. Department store and home office, Eighth avenue and Forty-sixth street, New York City. For the past three months the people of Iowa and Des Moines in particular have heard much concerning the Metropolitan Mercantile and Realty Company. You have heard more than others, have placed their confidence and dollars in this Negro enterprise, which has done so much and bids fair to do even greater things in the future. It is safe to say, you have heard more than others who have given the matter any serious consideration, though impressed, have not a clear understanding as to what this institution really is, many confusing it with insurance company, and some mistaking it for a benefit society. ing to see a store manned by our people and to learn it is meeting with success." Such is the testimony of an eye-witness one of the several enterprises of this great Negro corporation. "The company has always had favorable commentations from the press, both daily and also the standard weekly and the company made favorable and complimentary reference to the practical as well as to the theoretical good being done by this institution. The following account of the annual confusing it with insurance company, and some mistaking it for a benefit society, which appeared in the September 14th issue of the Commercial and The Metropolitan Merchantile, and Realty公司 is a NEG corporation founded about eight years ago in the city of New York, combining the benefits of a commercial beneficial business. It was incorporated for the purpose of providing a way for the Negro to earn a dollar as well as spend one. It is capitalized at $1,000,000 and has branch offices in a score of states in the east. The company has built nearly one hundred homes for its stockholders, besides a hospital in Philadelphia, a Masonic Temple in Savannah, Ga., and an apartment house in East Orange, NJ. The company stores in Baltimore, Md., and a flourishing grocery business in the city of Plainfield, N.J., a savings bank in Savannah, Ga., and has an insurance or beneficial department attached, operating in six cities. In the city of New York, 300,000. In a few weeks the company will open in the city of New York the largest department store in the country owned and operated by Negroes, having 51,600 square feet of flooring, and a department to nearly three hundred persons. A few weeks ago Mr. L. H. Smith, the company's chief representative in this section, is making his home in Des Moines, arranged a series of stereopicons and a series of educational character and enlightened the people as to the achievements and holdings of the company. This was a source of much interest and enjoyment to the many who attended the lectures. Mr. H. Smith, a Corinthian Baptist church, while on a trip cast made a personal investigation of the company in the interest of his people and paid a visit to The Metropolitan's department store in Baltimore, Md. What he saw and his impressions are "While on my trip to the east, attending the National Baptist Convention and the Jamestown Exposition, I stopped at Baltimore for the express purpose of viewing the department store and Realty Company, and I may freely say that I was pleased and satisfied with what I saw. The store is located on Eutaw Place near Druld Hill avenue, where scores of our people are securing valuable property. It has a most convenient location for this rea "The building itself has a basement and three other stories. On the basement, floor they have their groceries and there was over evidence of a large patronage. On the main floor they have a dining room, a kitchen, shoes and office of the store. The second floor is given to ladies' clothing and millinery. The third floor has the office of the company and a large store room. They keep two wagons going and on Saturdays they use two extra wagons. Mr Diggs termed me that they have twenty-nine clerks, that the major part of their patronage is from the colored people, but they also have a good deal of trade from white people. I talked with a number of leading men in Baltimore, who spoke of the time of business which is being done. On the whole the business impressed me as commendable. It was inspir- Prof. W. H. Jones, who accompanied the presidential party down the ing to see a store manned by our people and to learn it is meeting with success." Such is the testimony of an eye witness to one of the several enterprises of this great Negro corporation. "The company has always had favorable corporate policies, bothially and also the standard weekly reviews which on numerous occasions have made favorable and complimentary reference to the practical as well as to the theoretical good being done by this institution. The following account of the annual stockholders meeting (August, 27, 1907), which appeared in the annual commercial and Financial World of New York, is typical of the press views: "It would scarcely be possible to attach too much importance to the facts and figures that were brought out in the annual report of the Metropolitan Mercantile and Realty Company, the largest of the three, this city, whose annual meeting was held a few days ago. This company, it will be remembered by the readers of this paper, began business about eight years ago, and has been remarkably successful from the beginning of this year. The firms of New Jersey and has a capital stock of $1,000,000, and the fact was brought out at the annual meeting that only $200,000 of the stock remains unpaid, $800,000 having been sold in less than a year. But the president of the company, who is regarded as one of the ablest colored men of this country, called attention in his report to the fashion in which the great influx of foreigners into New York and surrounding cities is exhilarating. In the exclusion of the American Negro, except in undesirable localities, and he called upon the people to sustain the efforts of the Metropolitan Mercantile and Realty Company and to be prepared to buy land for them. In doing they can aid their people in the only tangible and permanent way. "Mr. J. H. Atkins, the treasurer of the company, who also is an exceedingly able and popular man, presided at the annual meeting, and Mr. L. C. Collins acted as secretary. The company also holds members present at the meeting, and about five thousand were represented by proxies. It was brought out in the report that during the past year the company has acquired by purchase a large tract of land at Rahway, N. J., embracing more than 10,000 acres which will be used to build houses this will accommodate about 10,000 people. This is in addition to the 128 lots in Plainfield, N. J., the 208 lots in Sag Harbor, N. Y., and more than 100 improved properties in the city of New York. "The company not only operate in the east, but also branch offices in the western states, including Illinois, Iowa, Michigan and Missouri; and it is the policy of the company to extend their business throughout the entire United States. In Baltimore the company have a big department store, and in Plainfield, N. J., a big grocery store, and in Savannah, carrying on a big banking business. "For half a dozen years past the company has been paying regular dividends at the race of 7 per cent per annum on its outstanding capital stock, more than justifying even the largest claims that have been made on the stock. The stock is now selling at per value, $25 per share. In July, Mr. Smith opened a branch office for the company in this city, at 515 Mulberry street, in which its business is for the state of Iowa and Minnesota is conducted. The office is conveniently located, with pleasant surroundings and neatly and attractively furnished. Recently Miss Rihle Bowman has written a book taken into the form of a writer. The office is shared with Attorney J. B. Rush. river to Memphis, returned home last Tuesday. The Parish Alid society of the Church of St Mary the Virgin will give a bazaar and supper October 29.

Mr. Graham leaves a wife, one daughter and five sons and scores of friends to mourn his loss. He is able to be out again, after being confined to her bed for nine days. ```markdown ``` T. Thomas Fortune. The announcement of T. Thomas Fortune's retirement from the editorship of the New York Age last week was a surprise to at least his western admirers. For more than 20 years his trencent pen has sounded the keynote of race defense, and he has done as much to mould sentiment as any other one newspaper man. He was an able and forceful writer, a great race man, a true type and a newspaper editor. With his retirement we feel a great and valuable loss in this special line of public service; yet he will devote his time to literary work along lines that he desires. M.T. PLEASANT NOTES.

Nascette Rich man, poor man, beggar man, thief, All lie together 'neath sod and leaf; All lie together till the judgment hour When God shall speak, in love and power. Red skin, white skin, yellow or brown; God in His justice looking down; God doesn't ask when we come to die; If God doesn't ask—then why should I? Here lies a mother who loved her child, Willful, wayward, wanton and wild; Suffered and sorrowed, with breaking heart, Doing Christ-like her humble part. Red skin, yellow skin, black or white, When the soul hath taken sweet death-flight. God doesn't ask the fleshy hue. If God doesn't ask—then why should you? This was a hero—on his pulsing breast, War's crimson flower lulled his heart to rest. Did God taking home that hero-soul Ask his color, ere he reached the goal? White skin, black skin, yellow or red; It's all the same, when a man is dead; God doesn't ask what skin we wear. Scornful and scorned, side by side, God judgeth each, as she lived and died. Red skin, brown skin, yellow or white, It counteth naught in heaven's sight; God doesn't ask what face we wear. If God doesn't ask—why should we care? This was a man, who day by day. This was a man, who day by day, Lived and loved in his lowly way. Lived for his children, wife of his Murmur; wore his white skin of labor; wore his white skin, brown or yellow, God asketh not of the honest follow; God gives him honor, prejudice free. God gives him honor, prejure free. If God hath charity - why not we? One force from the Center of Life, flows free. Thro' rock and dust, and flower and tree. Up from the animal world to man; And back again, whence life began. Shall we forcewarn the common tie; Shall we forcewarn the common deny. Dare we our brother today,edy Red skin, yellow skin, white or black; God doesn't ask when he calls us God doesn't ask what skin we wear. If God doesn't ask—how can we dare? Sept. 10, 1907. Ville, N. Y. MOBERLY, MO "Hope, only hope, of all that clings Around us never spreads her wings; Love, though he break his earthly chain, Still chains he will come again; But faith, that soars to seek the sky, Shall teach our half-fledged souls to fly, And fine, beyond the smoke and flame, The cloudless azure whence they came." It is with sadness that we chronicle the death of Mrs. Mattie E. Edwards, who died at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Cynthia Cornelio, Saturday at 5:15 p.m. of paralysis.

The first scar on the pure page or chastity is the last hope of happiness. A Lowell paper goes a trifle too far in saying that in England a man may now marry his widow's sister. A darning needle has been found in the yolk of an Iowa egg. The head of the house now knows why it wasn't found in the toe of his stocking. It is a relief to learn from patient investigators that the 'swastika' is neither a new game of cards nor another variety of breakfast food. The Lake of Constance in Switzerland is becoming so shallow near Llanduach that it may soon be necessary to fill it up with soil for sanitary reasons. Another western man has invented a bottle that cannot be reflashed. Now the geniuses devote themselves to invent a bottle that won't need to be reflashed. A Chester, Pa., man, dreamed that he was being robbed, and when he woke up he found that his dream had come true. Still, that wasn't much of a triumph. Doubtless D'Annunzio's impression that he will not die until 1909 is responsible for his having ordered a motor car with a speed of 80 miles an hour.

It is said that a good way to ward off seasickness is to hold a looking-glass in front of the face. We know some men whom that treatment would make sicker than ever the sea could do. Andrew Carnegie has declined to furnish a library for Berlin, but he might offer a medal for those heroes who refrain from singing the "Stein Song" in American summer gardens. Automobile danger signals are being put up in towns near New York "to protect children." A few of the right size for adults, suggests the Springfield Republican, would not be amiss, either. A Kansas editor says his ideas of luxury is a pair of suspenders for each pair of trousers he has. An Ohio editor says his idea of it is to have more pairs of trousers than he has suspenders. The American Bar association tabled indefinitely a resolution declaring that "the unwritten law is the word of God," thereby administering a severe shock to excitable gentlemen and professional pistol-toters. Prof. Larkin, astronomer, says that "marriage for life" is a great crime. He knows he is right because 1,800 women whom he asked about it told him. And he probably read the answer in the stars. There is one inlet in the Pacific ocean where the conventional term "the silver sea" is absolutely inappropriate just now. At the mouth of the Santa Clara river, California, the water has a bright golden hue, owing to the presence of tens of thousands of floating oranges. These are not floatam of washed-out orchards, but the presence into the river from the great packing houses in the Sespe neighborhood. The crops are so large that only the best oranges are worth keeping. Now that it is at least legally possible for an Englishman to marry his deceased wife's sister British clergy, they are evidently afraid of a rush of such marriages. They need have no such anxiety. Where one such marriage occurs a hundred other brothers are found to regard such alliances with the same degree of distaste that the clergy do, not because of the degree of consanguinity, however, but because they know each other too well. A wealthy Texan is having a status of John D. Rockefeller made and wants a suitable inscription. Well, there is, "He made him to such honey out of the rocks, and oil out of the fifty rock," or, "Will the Lord be pleased with ten thousand rivers of oil" or, "But the wise took oil."

Mr. Roosevelt Astonishes Companions by His Hardihood—Morning Swim in Cold Lake. Stamboul, La. — No news of the president's day's hunt on Tuesday has been received here yet. Brutus Jackson, the negro hunter who went to Newtown to locate a camp there last week, when it was decided to go there, returned Tuesday and brought a fresh supply of bear dogs with him, and an effort is being made to secure more from the source to take the place of the animals on hand, which are becoming laden. Arrivals from the Bear lake encampment tell stories of the president's hardship and capacity for roughing it. When he carried his blankets with him from the upper camp last Friday, and that night and next morning ate all the food taken in his saddle' pockets, they marveled that a president could be so easily satisfied, but when he jumped into Bear lake for a swim upon rising at daybreak their astonishment was almost without bounds. The thermometer registered at the time less than 40 degrees and most of the other members were in the camp fire. The president plunged into the water as soon as he arose. As he approached the edge of the lake he bantered some of the other members of his immediate party to join him, but none did so. He swam a hundred yards to an island and then returned, declaring upon landing that the exercise had been most exhilarating and the water was warmer than the air. It is now the president's purpose to close his hunt Saturday and to come into Stambul early Sunday. He will spend Sunday afternoon and Sunday night at the residence of Leo Shields, plantation manager for J. M. Parker, one of the president's party, and on Monday morning leave for Vicksburg, where he is to speak Monday afternoon. Pressing invitations to speak at many other places have been received, and they have been declined, and there will be one to be delivered. The southern trip except those to be made at Vicksburg and Nashville, with the possible exception of a few words at Tallahua. SMALL 18 TURNED DOWN. New York Telegraphers Call on Press Ident to Resign New York—The New York local of the Commercial Telegraphers' union at a meeting Sunday voted unanimously to continue the strike against the Western Union and Postal Telegraph companies. The vote was taken upon the suggestion of President Small who, in messages to subordinate officers Saturday pointed out the inability of the general assembly to further finance the strike, and recommended that locals in the various cities vote upon the advisability of the men returning to work. The meeting was characterized by bitter exchange between President Small and the other leaders. The latter charged the national leader with inconsistency in first claiming that the strike would be successfully financed and Saturday admitting that the general assembly was without funds; and with having conducted the fight in a half-hearted, dilatory war. Small tried to explain his position, but was frequently interrupted by hisses. When he suddenly left the hall in the midst of the speechmaking, cries of "Resign" followed him. Saturday night Small issued a statement in which he said he was willing to continue the strike if the men insisted. Reports received showed that the local unions in Baltimore, Kansas City, Denver, Salt Lake City, San Francisco and other cities voted to continue the strike until all demands have been granted.

GOOD TRUSTS BAD TRUSTS WALMOUTH STAT. ACT ON DEEP WATERWAYS ILLINOIS HOUSE AND SENATE ADOPT RESOLUTIONS. One Proposes $20,000,000 Bond Issue for Project and Other Provides for Commission. Springfield, ill. — The deep waterways subject was disposed of for the most part Wednesday when both house and senate adopted two joint resolutions, one providing for submission to the people in the general election next fall of a proposal for a constitutional amendment to follow a $20,000,000 bond issue for funds to proceed for the deep waterways work, and the other for pledging for a deep waterways commission to submit a report to the subject in time to inform the people so they may vote intelligently on the proposed amendment. The house tabled the Chicago sanitary district bill, authorizing the drainage canal trustees to extend their jurisdiction of the drainage canal from Lockport to Lake Joliet. The house also smothered Senator Schmidt's bill, vesting the ownership of the canal of the drainage canal in the state. The bill declaring the Desplaimes and the Illinois rivers to be navigable streams probably will be passed by the house. After a bitter fight, it was amended Wednesday to prohibit any further dam work in the state, and streams now in progress by the Economy Light & Power company in the Desplaimes river. WANTS LIBELERS HANGED. Dr. Andrews Denounces Distortion of Acts of Public Men. Washington—President E. Benjamin Andrews, of the University of Nebraska, in addressing the fall convocation of George Washington university here Wednesday, bitterly denounced what he termed malicious and willful misrepresentation of the acts of public or prominent men by the press, including, he should punish, meted out to a proved libeler.

Chicago. — A $20,000,000 will contest that was argued and settled of court was disclosed Monday when the last testament of Nelson Morris, the packer, was fled for probate.

Instead of $500,000 and an annuity of $15,000 during the next 20 years each of the five principal heirs will receive at once $6,000,000 in cash and securities.

During the first meeting of Emperor William and Andrew Carnegie on the deck of the Hohencolller at Kiel, when there came a pause in the conversation, Mr. Carnegie, in a candid spirit of banter, said to the emperor: "You know, your majesty, that I never cared very much for kings." "But there was one king you cared a great deal for," said the emperor quickly. "And who was that?" demanded Mr. Carnegie. "Robert Bruce." "Your majesty is very right," laughed Mr. Carnegie. A Young Composer. Rachel, aged 12, wrote an composition on wild flowers in which she praised the arbutus, the liverwort, the spring beauty, the blood root, and all of the other blossoms of dell and false. But she wrote on both sides of her sheet of paper, and when she asked her father, who was an editor, to publish her article, he called her attention to that fact. "You've written on both sides of your paper," said he. "Well," was the reply, "and don't you print on both sides of yours?" ALL THINGS IN PROPORTION. Invalid's Meal Evidently Had Not Increased Good Humor. For many weeks the irritable merchant had been riveted to his bed by yiphoid fever. Now he was convalescing. He clamored for something to eat, declaring that he was starving. "To-morrow you may have something to eat," promised the doctor. The merchant realized that there would be a restraint to his appetite, yet he saw, in vision, a modest, steaming meal placed at his bedside. "Here is your dinner," and the nurse pasted an amber, gave the glow of a patient a spoonful of tapla pudding, "and the doctor emphasizes that everything else you do must be in the same proportion." Two hours later the nurse heard a frantic call from the bed chamber. "Nurse," breathed the man heaply, "I want to do some reading, bring me a postage stamp." TAVE CRAZE FOR FORMULA. smokers Follow Fashions in the Use of Tobacco. Make me up a package of tobacco according to the formula used by Edwin Booth," said the man with a southern accent. "That is the third man who has asked for that kind of tobacco to-day," said the dealer. "It is strange that people from remote parts of the country as well as New Yorkers make a bad of buying the same brand of tobacco that the smoker has to buy. Booth says that they want. I have fled away the formulas for mixing the favorite tobacco of many famous persons. Smokers the country over have heard of this collection of recipes and one feature of every man's trip to New York is to try a favorite of big man's favorite tobacco. In most cases this special mixture is so strong that the nerves of the average smoker can stare at a new pipeful to go back to a popular mixture, but he has the satisfaction of having had the experience." The New York Sun. A Doctor of Divinity, now Editor of a well-known Religious paper, has written regarding the controversy between Collier's Weekly and the Religious Press of the Country and ethically responsible suits for libel brought by Collier's against us for commenting upon its methods. These are his sentiments, with some very emphatic words left out. "The religious Press owes you a debt of gratitude for your courage in defending the rights of "Yell-Oh Man." Would you care to use the inclosed article on the "Boo Hoo Baby" as the "Yell-Oh Man's successor? "A contemporary remarks that Collier's has finally run against a solid hickory "Post" and been damaged in the formation to the tune of $750,000. "Here is a publication which has, in utmost disregard of the facts, spread broadcast damaging statements about the suffering of the man who has suffered those false statements to go uncontradicted until, not satisfied after finding the Religious Press too quiet, and peaceful, to reorient the attention into fresh field and butts its rattled head against this Post and all the World laughs. Even Christians smile, and it is a mistake to back it a dose of its own medicine. "It is a mistake to say all the World laughs. No cheer laugh comes from Collier's, but it cries and boo hooks a spanked baby and wants $750,000.00 against its tender, lacered feelings." "Thank Heaven it has at last struck a man with "back bone" enough to call a spade "spade" and who believes in the whole truth without fear or favor." Perhaps Collier's with its "utmost disregard for the facts," may say no such letter exists. Nevertheless it is on file in our office and is only one of our paper comments, etc., denouncing the "yellow" methods of Collier's. This volume is so large that a man could not well go tugging it under a day's rain, come from various parts of America. Usually a private controversy is not interesting to the public, but this is a public controversy. Collier's is being used in the "yellow" but, jumping in the air, cracking heels together and yelling "Look at me" wouldn't suffice, so it started out on a "Holler Than Thou" attack on the Religious Press and on medicine. We'd be wise when, first resented Collier's attacks, to say whether, in a craving for sensation and circulation, its attacks do not amount to a systematic mercenary hounding. We likewise Collier's by our own means. Collier's, by its own policy and meth- Cause and effect: "Plump impure," said the woman who was reading the fashions, "are going out of style.

St. Louis rejoices in the sobriquet of Mound City from the fact that the original settlers found there many elevations which it is supposed were rolls of that strange people who dwelt in the Ohio and Mississippi valleys and are known to modern times only as the Mound Builders. No adequate explanation has yet been found of their strange mode of leaving memorials of their existence. The limestone bluffs on which a part of St. Louis stands furnish a solid foundation for the business buildings. Held Up. "Stop!" shouted the man on the country road, holding up a warning hand. Muttering something about rural cops, the automobilist obeyed. "Turn around and come back to tote with me," said the manger. "You were going at least 35 miles an hour." "You're a constable, I suppose," said the automobilist, with a covert sneer, when they had reached the village. "Me?" replied the passenger. "No, I'm a farmer and had to come into town when all the teams was busy, no growing weather. Thanks. Good by." Ensuring comment is purposefully omitted.-Philadelphia Public Ledger. Belling a Rat. You have probably read or heard that the best way to rid a house of rats is to catch one and fasten a bell about its neck. A boy in Delaware tried the experiment two months ago. He was badly bitten in making the bell fast, but he turned the rat looses and expected the tinkling of that bell would have great results. It did have. In the first place, the rat who wore it was constantly on the move all night, and the tinkling bell kept the mouse awake, and in the middle sounded a house. Instead of being afraid of the bell, they were charmed with the music. Had the boy tied a harmonica to another rat's tail, the rodents would have had a dance every night. She Was Willing. "Yes," says the husband, "I have consented to accept the nomination." "I am so glad the party is beginning to recognize your merit," beams the wife. "Now my dear," the husband continues, "you know that political affairs are not love feasts, by any means. You must expect to see you vilified and attacked in the ocean manmade world. You oppose women to do ill up sensational rumors about me, and all that sort of thing, but you must not—" "Well," she interrupts, "I am really glad of it. You have always been strangely silent about whether or not you ever were engaged to anyone before you met me." ods, has not made itself more ridiculous than any comment of ours could make it. Does Collier's expect to regain any successful loss because by demonstrating thru suits for damages, that it can be more artful in evading liability for libels than the humble but resentful victims of its defamation, or does it hope for starting a campaign to defame the public judge, in designation, reproach and resentment which it has aroused. Collier's can not dodge this public controversy by private law suits. It can not be the public judge, but that it gives the public, will hardly blame us for not waiting until we get a pet jury in a court room, before denouncing this prodigal detractor of institutions founded by individuals or by the public, itself. No announcements during our entire business career were ever made claiming "medicinal effects" for either Postum or Grape-Nuts. Medical efficacy was obtained from the use of medicines. Thousands of visitors go thru our entire works each month and see for themselves that Grape-Nuts contains absolutely nothing but wheat, barley and nothing but wheat and about ten percent of New Orleans Molasses. The art of preparing these simple elements in a scientific manner to obtain the best food value and flavor, recreate some work and experience to acquire. Now, when any publication goes far enough out of its way to attack us because our advertising is "medical," it simply offers a remarkable exhibition of ignorance or worse. It results of favorable character following the adoption of our suggestions regarding the discontinuance of coffee and foods which may not be keeping the individual in good health. We are healthy person. He or she is evidence in itself that the beverages and foods used exactly fit that person. Therefore, why change? But to the man or woman who is silling, we have something to sas as a man an unusually wide experience in food and the result of proper feeding. in the palpably ignorant attack on us in Collier's, appeared this statement, "We only calculate paragraph laborers to induce the impatient that Grape-Nuts will obviate the necessity of an operation in appendicitis when its lying and potentially deadly lying."

A small boy who had recently passed his fifth birthday was riding in a car with his mother, when they were asked the customary question: "How old is the boy?" After being told the correct age, which did not require a fare, the conductor passed on to the next person. The boy sat quite still as if pondering over some question, and then, conclusion that full information had not been given, called loudly to the conductor, then at the other end of the car: "And mother's 311" A Definition of Success. How have the hypothetical scientists and the exposers of unbelief benefited themselves or humanity at large by sowing the seeds of double broadcast in the world? The real scientists do not fall in this category, for they are believers in the real sense of the word; they know too much, they have seen too many mysterious manifestations of the Divine creative power. Now, those who have disposed of the Bible and all evidences of inspiration, have written a great many and some of them have made the world at large famous fans. Aording to ordinary measures that are applied in such cases, they have been extremely successful, but real success means the benefit of humanity in some form or other. If no such benefits can be s. wn as the result of their labors, their success is not equal to that achieved by the direct poverty and the deepest ignorance. — Joe Chandler, in Uncle Remus' Magazine WHEN A "HUNCH" HELD GOOD. Chinese Laundry Ticket Suggested Bet on "Wing Ting." Kay Spence, a well-known horseman of Mexico, Moe, won $1,000 at the Louisville, Ky. race meeting a short time ago as the result of a "hunch." Mr. Spence has a large breeding stand of "runners" near Mexico, and attends the big race. Not what felt like him, not long since he was in Louisville and entered the betting ring to see what odds were being offered on the various entries. He found that Joaquin was the favorite at even money, and pulled his wallet from his pocket, intending to bet on that horse. His attention was attracted something to him, and he stopped to pick it up. It was a Chinese laundry ticket. He looked at the "books" again and found that there was an entry with a Chinese name, Wing Ting, at ten to one. That set it for, he considered he had received a "hunch" that could not be denied. Nevertheless to say, those who backed the favorite considered Sphere the seventh son of the seventh son—Kansas City Star. such as white bread, potatoes, rice, partly cooked cereals and such. Starchy food is not digested in the upper stomach but passes on into the lower stomach, locally consumed and intestines, where, in a healthy individual, the transformation of the starch into a form of sugar is completed and then the food absorbed by the blood. But if the powers of digestion are weak the starch will lie in the warmth and moisture of the body and decay, generating gases and irritating the mucous surfaces until under such conditions the whole lower part of the alimentary canal, insulated and appendix, becomes involved. Disease and at times takes the form known as appendicitis. When the symptoms of the trouble make their appearance, would it not be possible to common sense, to discontinue the starch digestion, causing the trouble and take a food in which the starch has been transformed into a form of sugar in the process of manufacture? When the same form of sugar found in the human body after starch has been perfectly directed Now, human food is made up very largely of starch and is required by food. Energy and warmth. Naturally, therefore, starch is continued, if possible, and for the reasons given above it is made possible in the manufacture of Grape-Nuts. In connection with this change of food, we gain relief from physical disturbances, we gain relief from the intestines to get rid of the immediate cause of the disturbance. Naturally, there are cases where the disease has lain dormant and the apparently only the knife will wail. But it is a well-established fact among the best physicians who are acquainted with the details above recited, that the measures are far and away the best. Are we to be condemned for suggesting a way to prevent disease by following natural methods and for perfecting a food that contains no "medications" that introduce no "medicinal effects" but which are thousands of persons from sickness to health?

At the time he grew a hair and a half of fering he grew so bad I had to tie his hands in clothes at night to keep him from scratching the sores and tearing the flesh. He got to be a mere skeleton and was hardly able to walk.
