Rise Liars, FOR NERVOUS PEOPLE A Michigan Mother Preserved to Her Family by Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. When the blood is impoverished the uerves starve and neurnlgiaor something more serious swiftly follows. Nervous people are generally pale people. By supplying through the blood those vital elements that the nerves need, Dr.

Williams' Pink Pills fur Pale People have performed those remarkable cures that make it impossible for uuy nervous sufferer to neglect them. A recent case is that of Mrs. Peter Morrissette, of No. 315 Eleveutli street, Alpena, who writes as follows: My trouble started with childbirth. After one of my children was born I had a kind of paralysis.

I was very weak and my mouth was a little crooked. I was always tired and was so nervous that I could not bear to hear a dog bark or a bell ring even the little bird in its cage would annoy me. My heart fluttered a great deal and I had dizzy spells. I was not able to be left Hloue. "My doctor gave me different kinds of medicine, changing it several times.

When it' was evident that he could not help me he said ho did not understand my ease. This was three years ago and I was very much discouraged, when my brother, who had taken Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, recommended them to me. I tried them and noticed change for the better when I was taking.the second box. Dr.

Williams' Pink Pills cured me and I have.been well ever since. I now do all my own housework, sewing and wasu-ingfor seven of ns."

After the Great Struggle. 'The average, volunteer officer," said the sergeant, "captain, colonel or general, had too much rather than too little of the milk of human kindness. Bluff and gruff and a rigid disciplinarian, ho might be and yet win the respect, if not the affection, of his soldiers. And in all such cases the men in the ranks won at least the respect of their officers Th rnlailiiw nf nrli officers and soldiers after the war were worth study. We had in our regiment from the first a peremptory sort of a captain of military training.

His ambition was to heat the" raw material of his company into shape, to drill the regiment inlo form, and, sternly persistent, he succeeded. "In the last year of the war he was promoted to colonel of one of the new-regiments and we lost sight of' him. Two years after the war I was visiting a Western penitentiary with a legislative committee. When the guard was formed for our inspection I saw-in the ranks the old drill master of our regiment, the captain of our crack company. I looked for some sign of recognition, but there was none, nnd I made no advances.

But I went that night to our old division general and told him of my discovery. He thought I must be mistaken, but he would investigate. "In two days the general for the warden of the prison and asked him if ho didn't need a captain for his guards. The warden said he did, but added that he could not find a trustworthy man to take charge. The general replied that he had among his guards one of tho most capable and most trustworthy oflieers in the old volunteer army.

Why not appoint him to the captaincy without explanation? He warned the warden that the colonel was a proud and sensitive man, and no finest ions should he asked as to how he came to be a prisOTguard. "Meantime our committee paid a visit to the warden and made practically the same recommendation. I had told the story to all the old soldiers in the legislature, and they went Into action. The colonel was made captain of the guard, was later made Chief of police llirottL-h the Influence of his old company, and the officers of the division. As he told me later, the boys did the work and he accepted promotion after promotion, with no questions asked.

Some years later I was with this oflicer in the city. when ve passed an old staff officer of our division general. He shook hands with us. diluted in his old dignified, soldierly way, and passed on. The colonel said to me at once: 'The major is In trouble.

I know the signs. We must help him as you fellows helped me when luck was running 'against me." "We discovered that the old fellow was In iibselute want and was ton proud to let any of his old army friends Know the I null. In three days he received an miexpeeted offer of lucrative cninloymeiri nnd- ewpicd the position. He never admitted that he had been close to starvation, but when I vKited him in his Inst sicklies he told his family the story of how his old hos hud helped him, nil (I that the colonel nnd myself hud been leaders In the conspiracy.

Then this milk charged with Post Sugar is fed to the Infants producing the most satisfactory results, for the baby has food that it can digest quickly and will go off to sleep well fed and contented.

When baby gets two or three months old it is the custom of some mothers to allow the Grape-Nuts to soak in tha milk a little longer and become mushy, whereupon a little of the food can be fed in addition to the milk containing the washed off sugar. It is by no means manufactured for a baby food, but these facts are stated as an illustration of a perfectly digestible food. It furnishes the energy and strength for the great athletes. It is in cofhmon use by physicians in their own families and among their patients, and can be seen on the table of every first-class college in the land. We.

quote from the London Lancet analysis as follows: "The basis of nomenclature of this preparation is evidently an American pleasantry, since 'Grape-Nuts' Is derived solely from cereals. The preparatory process undoubtedly converts the food constituents into a much more digest! ble condition than In the raw cereal. This is evident from the remarkable solubil-lty of the preparation, no less than one- half of it being soluble in cold waler. The soluble part contains chiefly dextrin and no starch. In appearance 'Grape-Nuts'resemblesfried bread-crumbs.

The grains are brown and crisp, with a pleasant taste not unlike slightly burnt malt According to our analysis the following is the composition of Moisture, 6.02 percent; mineral matter, 2.01 percent; fat, 1.60 per cent; protelds, 15.00 per cent; soluble carbohydrates, 49.40 per cent; and unaltered carbohydrates (Insoluble), 26.97 per cent The features worthy of note in this analysis are the excellent proportion of pro-teld, mineral matters, and soluble car-bohy dates per cent The mineral matter was rich in phosphoric acid. 'Grape-Nuts' is described as a brain and nerve fuud. wliatarer tn.it tw.ie hi iinr-inftiv. sis, at any rate, shows that it Is a nutri-tlve of a high order, since it contains the constituents of a complete food In very satisfactory and rich proportion and la an easily assimilable state." An analysis made by the Canadian Government some time ago shows that urupe-NutB contains nearly ten times the digestible elements contained in ordinary cereals, and foods, and nearly twice the amount contained in uny other food analyzed. The analysis Is familiar to practically every successful physician In America and London.

We print this statement In order that the public may know the exact facts upon which we stake our honor and will back It with any amount of money that any person or corporation will put up. We propose to follow some of these choice specimens of the trl he of A nunias. When you hear a cooking school teacher or any other person assert that either Postum or Grape-iNuts are made of uny other Ingredients llinn those printed on the packages nndxas we say they ore made, send us the name and address, also name of two dr three witnesses, and If the evidence It clear enough to get a Judgment we will right that wrong quickly. Our business has always been conducted on as high a grade of human Intelligence as we are capable of, and we propose to clear the deck of these prevaricators and liars whenever and wherever tbey can be found. Attention la again called to the general and broad Invitation to visitor to go through our works, where they will be Miown the most minute process und device In order that they may understand how pure and clean and wholesome Qrnpe-Nuta and Postum are.

There is an old saying among busincta men that there Is some chance to train a fool, but there is no room for a liar, for you never van tell where you are, and wa hereby serve notice on all the mem-hers of this ancient tribe of Ananias that they may follow their calling in other Hum, but wane tuny put fmtli ilinr lin about Grana.Nuta an, I limmtn poee to give tbetn nn opportunity to answer to the proper authorities.

Y. Case of Absentmindedness. A policeman, going his rounds in the early morning, in Bath, England, saw a clock standing on the doorstep of a house. He rang the bell and found that the occupant had taken the milk pitcher upto his bedroom, leaving the clock where he had intended to put the pitcher. They Stand Alone.

Standing out in bold relief, all alone, and as a conspicuous example of open, frank nnd honest dealing with the sick and afllicted, are Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription for weak, over-worked, debilitated, nervous, "run-down," pain-racked women, and Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery, tbo famous remedy for weak stomach, indigestion, or dyspepsia, torpid liver, or Biliousness, nil catarrhal affections, 'whether of the stomach, bowels, kidneys, bladder, nasal passages, throat, brouehia, or other mucous passages, also as an effective renisdy for all diseases arising from thin, watery or impure blood, as scrofulous and skin affections. Kach bottle of the above medicines bears upon its wrapper a badge of honesty in the full list of ingredients composing it printed in plain A'nglish. This frank and open publicity places these medicines in a class all by them-stives, and is tho best guaranty of their merits.

They cannot be classed as patent nor secret medicines for ttiey aro neither being ef known composition. Dr. Pierce feels that ho can afford to take the afflicted into his full confidence and lay all tho ingredieuts of his medicines freely before them because these ingredieuts aro such as are endorsed and most strongly praised by scores of the most eminent medical writers as cures for the diseases for which these medicines are recommended. Therefore, the afllicted do not havo to rely alono upon Dr. Pierce's recommendation as to the enrativo value of bis mediciuos for certain easily recognized diseases.

Now we come to a frisky lot, the "Labor Union" editors. You know down in Texas a weed called "Loco" Is sometimes eaten by a steer and produces a derangement of the brain that makes the steer "batty" or crazy.

Many of these editors are "Locoed" from hate of anyone who will not Instantly obey the "demands" of a labor union, and It is the universal habit of such writers to go stralghtlnto asystem of personal vilification, manufacturing any sort of falsehood through which to ventthelr spleen. We assert that the common citizen has a right to live and breathe air without asking permission of the labor trust and this has brought down on us the hate of these editors. When they go far enough with their libels, is it harsh for us to get Judgment against them and have our lawyers watch for a chance to attach money due them from others? (For they are usually irresponsible.) Keep your eye out for the "Locoed" editor. Now let all these choice specimens take notice: We will deposit one thousand or flftv Hinnonnrt dollars to be covered by a like amount from them, or any one of them, and It mere was ever one ouuee rf ftl1 hppnit nr nnv other lntrredlent different than our selected wheat and barley with a little salt ana yeaBi useu in the making of Grape-NuU, we will lose the money. Our pure food factories are open at all times to visitors, and thousands pass through each month, inspecting every department and every process, our fac- tories are so clean that one could, with, good relish, eat a meal from the floors.

The work people, both men and women, are of the highest grade in the state of Michigan, and according to the state labor reports, are the highest paid in the state for similar work. Let us tell you exactly what you will see when you Inspect the manufacture of Grape-Nuts. You will find tremendous elevators containing the choicest wheat and barley possible to buy. These grains are carried through long conveyers to grinding mills, and there convert ed into Hour. Then the machines make selection of the proper quantities of this flour in the proper proportion and these parts are blended into a general flour which passes over to the big dougn mixing machines, there water, salt and a little yeast are added and the dough kneaded the proper length of time.

Itemember that previous to the barley having beeu ground It was passed through about one hundred hours of soaking In water, then placed on warm floors and slightly sprouted, developing the diastase In tho barley, which changes the starch in the grain Into a form of sugar. Now after we have passed It Into dough and It has been kneaded long enough, It is moulded by machinery Into loaves about 18 inches long and 5 or 6 lnrhea In diameter. It Is put Into this shape for convenience In second cooking. These great loaves are sliced by machinery and the slices placed on wire rays, these tray In urn, placed on great steel trucks, and rolled Into the secondary ovens, each perhaps T6or 80 feet long. There the food Is subjected to a long low heat and the starch which has not been heretofore transformed Is turned Into a form of sugar generally known as lhist Sugar.

It can be seen glistening on the grauulc of Grape-Nuts If held toward tha light, and this sugar Is not poured over or put on the food as these prevaricators tgnorantly rnttcrt On the contrary the sugur exudes from Ihe Interior of each little granule during the process of manufacture, and reminds one of the little white particles of sugar that come nut the esl ul a hickory log after It fans been a wed off and allowed to aland for a length of lime.

The teacher colored up and changed the subject. There is quie an assortment of traveling and stay-at-home members of tho tribe of Ananias who tell their falsehoods for a variety of reasons.

Inthe spring it is the custom on a cattle ranch brand the cattle, so we are going to have a "round up," and brand these cattle and place them in their proper pastures. FIRST PASTURE. Cooking school teachers this Includes "teachers" who have applied to us for a weekly pay If they would say "something nice" about Grape-Nuts and Postum.and when we have declined to hire them to do this they get waspy and show their true colors. This also Includes "demonstrators" and "lecturers" sent out by a certain Sanitarium to sell foods made there, and these people instructed by the small-bc-whls-kered doctor the head of the in-" stitution to tell these prevarications (you can speak the stronger word If you like). This same little doctor conducts a small magazine In which there is a department of "answers to correspondents," many of the questions as well as the answers being written by the aforesaid doctor.

In this column some time ago appeared the statement: "No, we cannot recommend the use of Grape-Nuts for it Is nothing but bread with glucose poured over It" Right men nc snowed his badge as" a member of the tribe of Ananias. He may have been a member for some time before, and so be has caused these "lecturers" to descend Into the ways of the tribe wherever they go.

Grape Were Bitter Against Morgan. "If Ellsworth had lived a few months longer," said the Colonel, "a good many of the Zouaves who went into Turehin's regiment would have gone East. The story of the military companies In existence in the several states in ISCCKis a curious one. But In no state wasthe history of such organizations moreNjigbly spiced with romance than in Kentucky. During the excitement preliminary to the outbreak of hostilities in 1861 companies in many counties were organized for both armies.

In Lexington John Morgan, captain of a crack company, went into the Confederate service. Sanders D. Bruce, captain of the Chasseurs, another crack company of Lexington, went into the Union service. Bruce was given command of tho Twentieth Kentucky, and later of a brigade under. Nelson, Morgan was given an important cavalry command, and made several raids in Kentucky.

In ISliS he surrounded one battalion of tho Twentieth Kentucky with C0P0 men, and after a stubborn light captured it. This gratified him exceedingly, but tiie several Kentucky cavalry-tegiments galloped alter him through Kentucky and OhiS: and in lurn captured Morgan and his immediate command. saw those KentuckTans when," after their long ride, they hiade their last charge on Morgan's men. and it was worth remembering.
