A man does not count as wasted tho tlmo ho spends In thinking over his business, but ho seems loth to givo tho samo sort of careful attention io himself nnd to his health. And yet his business would bo worth, little Without good health to caro for It. A business man tells how ho did him self good by carefully thinking ovor his physical condition, investigating to find out what was needed, and thon changing to tho right food. "For Bomo years I had been bother ed a great deal aJtor rooals. My food seemed to lay liko lead In my stomach, producing heaviness and dullness nnd . Bometimos positive pain. Of course tula rendered mo moro or less unfit for business, and I mado up my mind that something would havo to be done. "Reflection led me to tho conclusion that over-eating, filling tho stomach witbflndlgcstlblo food, was responsible for many of tho Ills that human flesh endures, and that I was punishing myself In that way that was what was making mo so dull, heavy and un comfortable and unfit for business after meals. I concluded to try Qrapo- Nuts food to sco what It could do lor mo. "I havo been using it for some months now, nnd am glad to say that I do not Buffer any longer alter meois; my food seoma to asslmllato easily end perfectly, and to do tho work for which It was Intended.

Secretary Fisher WSHINaTON.--Sonio Jdca of tho gigantic task which confronts Walter I FiBher ot Chicago, tho now (secretary of tho interior can ho glean ed from tho fact that approximately $200,000,000 Is cxponded annually In tho department of which ho has just been made tho chief; 700,000,000 acres of public land is under his tmmbdlato Jurisdiction, not Including the terri tory of Alaska, and nenrly 15,000 em ployees tnko their orders from hlro. The Importance of tho department to tho country at largo cannot bo overestimated, especially at thlet tlmo wlicn tho country Is insisting upon an administration favoring ubo of tho na- tiornl resources of the country on tho public domain and In Alaska, which will tnt only permit lmmodlato devel opment, but conscrvo thoso resources for future goneratlonB.

It wan undo n sort of catchall for govern ment business which could not bo con-, vonlently transacted oy any other de partment. At tho present tlmo the secrotary of the interior has supervision over tho following offices and institutions: General land offlco, in charge of Commissioner Fred Dennett, which su pervises ilio survey, management and dlspositionXof thp public hinds, tho ad judication of conflicting claims , re lating thereto, the granting of railroad Sun Blamed for Jl ALWAYS CCT TMF?

Abbot, director ot tho astro-physical observatory of tho Smithsonian Institution, will be able to comploto within tho next year an investigation which was begun In 190S and which, if it arrives at tho ex pected conclusion, will result In a discovery of tho first rank, such as is not often mado in astronomical work. This Investigation Is expected to prove that the rndlatlon ot tho sun va rles and that this variation produces a corresponding variation in tho tern peraturo of tho earth. Whllo this dis covery, if mado, will havo its highest value for puro sclenco, It will also bo of great benefit In Its application to agriculture, to long-distance weather forecasts and other practical pur poses.

Observations then will bo taken nt tho new station, and at Mount Wilson simultaneously, nnd if the two sets of measurements should agree tho conclusion will bo proved, Congress has provided for this trip to Mexico by adding $5,000 to tho ap propriation regularly mado for the work ot tho astro-physical obBcrva-i tory, to tho intenso gratification ot Dr. Abbot nnd Secretary Walcott of tho Smithsonian Institution, as they aro hopeful of success attending tho un dertaking, Whllo tho expedition will not set out for Mexico until next July, when, It is hoped, peaceful conditions will bo restored in tho southorn re public, tho work of preparation al ready is under way. Tho appreciation of tho work that Dr. Abbot Is doing Is shown In tho fact that during tho past year tho Drapor gold medal was awarled by tho National Academy of Sciences to Dr. Abbot for his valuablo research In solar radiation.
