Perhaps you know why you fail in the plans for money, fame and position. Some Don't. Just why the brain does not produce practical 1 money making results is a puzzle to many men. Strong, healthy, natural brains can be made from food, and good brains can work keenly when they have their proper food. Unsuccessful brains often come from improperly selected food.

A DISTINCT IMPROVEMENT in mental, power will follow in a week or ten days) when the brain building food Grape Nuts is used twice a day. There are well established and very clearly understood reasons for these sure results from the change in food. You can make Money, Position, Fame jfyou have the kind of Brain that works that Tfiefe's a Reason. PROF.

Reed and Willow Furniture is as necessary to perfect comfort at this s'eason of the year as the fluffy gown or Summer suit, In this class of Furniture, as in all others, we present the best assortment of the better kind. There are many grades in this line of Furniture, and you may secure the best here at prices which make them real bargains when compared with the cheaper qualities. Ideal Summer Floor Fiber Carpet and Rugs, lead in both artistic beauty and wearing qualities and are rapidly gaining in popularity for bed room and dining room use. Previous seasons have seen most beautiful patterns produced in this line, but they are not to be compared" with handsome artistic effects produced for this season's selling and now on exhibition at this store. They are a flexible summer floor covering that can be matched, sewed and laid just like carpet.

Ours is the best quality made, having been dyed in raw material and woven like carpet. Cheap prints are sold at a trifle less price, but they will not give perfect satisfaction, as the colors are short lived and soon look cheap and wrn out. Ctez Grass Mattings and Rugs In this, comparatively new, but very desirable covering for porches or summer homes, we show a complete line of sizes and widths at most reasonable prices. LOCAL DEMOCRATS ARE UP IN THE AIR NOW State Complications Have Made the Local Situation a Difficult One Wellknown Men Who Are Seeking to be Named as Commissioners of Registration. Local Democracy Is slightly up in the air just now.

particularly In regard to state politics. After the Republican convention named Stuart for governor the more prominent Democrats were In favor of fusion, many of them almost shouting for Emery. Their ardor was slightly chilled yesterday when the "big colonel" declared for fusion with a Democratic head, not caring anything about the composition of the body and tail of the ticket. The local colonel of Democracy has not spoken yet, so the lesser" lights hereabouts are not making much noise, but have their ears to the ground waiting for a signal before they make too decided a move. Local Democrats are also slightly downcast because the so called 'Republican machine did carry things in the high handed manner that Democratic calamity howlers expected they would, consequently there is not such a lively scramblo for" the nominations as was predicted a wek or ten days ago.

Only a few followers of Jefferson and Jackson have announced their willingness to sacrifice their personal affairs to serve the dear public. The only avowed candidates in the field so far are Senator P. F. Calpin, of this city, and George J. Hufnagle, of Dickson, for sheriff; P.

F. Conner for county treasurer, Henry V. Lawlor, of Jessup, for register of wills, and A. J. Mulderig for jury commissioner.

An effort Is being made to have Joseph O'Brien make the fight for dis trict attorney and George Howell once more tackle the congressional fight, but neither has as yet signified his willingness to enter the contest. rresidTvt Gibbons, of the board of control, also has Ms lightning rod out and may decide to try and be the next high sheriff of Lackawanna county. Another matter deters the Demo cratic statesmen from being too eagr to enter the contest. They are anxious to see just what effect this new per sonal rexTstratlon law will have. If the registrations are heavy In the Democratic wards and light In tho Re publican localities the woods will be full of aspiring Democratic statesmen.

but If the contrary Is true it will be hard work to lambs for the sacrifice. During the coming week Governor Pennypacker will appoint the commissioners of registration. the law they must be appointed by June 15, and as that will be next Friday the appointments are liable to come et any time, but as the governor always Is very deliberate In his actions he may defer it until the last day or two. There are four to.be appointed and the number after the positions is legion; In fact almost every politician out of a Job is after the place. On tho Republican side the contest has apparently narrowed down to B.

T. Jayne, Joseph Oliver, M. K. Edgar and M. W.

Lowry, while the representatives of Democracy who are "making Rome howl" are P. W. Costello, John Dennis J. Roche, Frank Ro wing John Gibbons, D. W.

Vaughan and T. J. O'Boyle. It is generally ellved that the winners will be B. T.

Jayne, Joseph Oliver, W. Costello and Dennis J. Roche, but Cos tello's "pernicious activity," while city controller, wrilch makes "non persona, grata" with many of th Republican leaders, may prevent his appointment In that case John Gibbons, Is the most prominently mentioned for the place. In the legislative contests the Demo crats have made their nominations In the Fourth, Fifth and Sixth districts. In the First distAct the convention will be held tomorrow in the Y.

M. I. hall on North Main avenue, when Thomas Murphy, the wellknown newspaper man, will receive the nomination If he will accept. If Mr. Murphy declines the honor It will be given to Nicholas Burke.

In the Second and Third districts' no action has been taken as yet, as both districts are strongly Republican. They are waiting to see. If the Lincoln party takes any action and If they do the Democrats may endorse their nominees. Therein lies only hope of success. A combination has already been made in the Sixth district.
