A WORKINQ BRAIN
Can be Nade Successful on Right
Food.
A busy man la one of America's largest
watch factories tells how by change of
food he . gained a clear brain and steady
nerves and averted a mental and physical
breakdown. He says: . . , ,
"I was accustomed all my life to the
ordinary diet of,, the " average table. I
thought that meat,, potatoes and other
vegetables' and fruit were necessary, and
that tea, coffee and pastry In moderate
quantities were not Injurious.
"But I found in course of time, that my
dletarywas-affectlfis; my health seriously.
For four years I continued to run down.
In time my nerves became seriously
affected,, they seemed constantly keyed
up to the hlg,hef tension, and I became
subject to, the most violent bilious attacks
which used lojcav me In a weak and ner
vous condition for several days. The cli
max seemed to have been reached a few
years ago, ' when I found myself about as
near a physical wreck as a man could welt
be, and live. Physicians, tonics and other
medicines, visits to the country, etc., etc.,
were of no avail.
"In sheef ..desperation, ?I concluded, a
few months ago, to see what effect a diet
of .Grape-Nuts food would have. I had
often heard of It, but had little hope it
would help me. I at once" cut out all the
heavy dishes with the tea and coffee that
I had always used and began to eat Grape
Nuts with cream and a pinch of salt.
Afterwards I added fruit, with occasion
ally an egg beaten up' in milk, and entire
wheat bread. ' This has. been practically ny
diet for more thatf two months..
"I found that with the new diet I gained
complete relief ahnost 1 Immediately from
all the distress that used to follow every
meal, my bilious condition was speedily
regulated and cured, my nerves have grown
healthy and steady In short my run-down
constitution has been, reconstructed and
built up. As to the effect upon my mental
powers, I have only to point to the fact
that I have recently been placed In a re
sponsible position In our establishment
where complete concentration of mind Is
required to deal with complicated records
and report!.: and that 1 have been enabled
to aeep my accounts absolutely correct.
which aiy numerous predecessors uniformly
failed to do.
"I think these things speak volumes In
favor of Grape-Nuts food as a nerve and
brain builder. I arcrlbe all my Improve
ment, mental and physical, the fact that
I am possessed of steadier nerves, a clearer
brain, a fine appetite, and . have gained
healthily In weight, to the cutting out of
heavy food and the systematlo use of Orape
Nuts fpod." Name iteaby Futtiw Co.,

With fifty delegates present, the opening
session of the annual 'convention of the
Christian Endeavor society of the Thlr
teenth district was held at the First
Presbyterian church yesterday afternoon.
Fifteen churches of Omaha' and South
Omaha, including the Presbyterian, Con
gregational and Christian denominations
and the Kountze Memorial church, were
represented The meeting was opened with
devotional exercises conducted by Rev.
Arthur H. Folsom. .'. v-m.vj.
President Arthur. Chase discoursed on
'The Permanent Elements Of the Christian
Endeavor." He classified these elements
as loyalty, works, faith, testimony, prayer,
charity, unity, foundation and missionary
spirit, and discussed each one In turn. A
dlscusslcn was led by Rev. H. J. Klrch
steln, in which essentials for a permanent
and distinctive Christian Endeavor society
were given treatment. . The subject "of
"Local Adaptability" was presented by
Rev. H. L. Mills of the Hillside Congre
gational church.
Graft and the Times.
In the' evening an address was delivered
by Rev. R. L. Wheeler of the First Presby
terian church of South Omaha. He dis
cussed 'the noted cases of public graft in
some of our large cities, pointing out the
far reaching effect qt a moral s upheaval
and drawing Illustrations to show the duty
of each. Endeavorer In working to make
such conditions impossible.. He showed the
geographical advantage enjoyed by the so
cieties of the thirteenth district through
their location in the Missouri valley and
their being In the center of a great and
prosperous territory.
pX-. .y'er.lald, special .stress , on the.
ability- of the young Endeavor1 to'sWr up
the" bid nservaHvee irflhe chnrch"to new
ambitions.' He also had fault to find with
the system of theological Instruction and
practice followed In the east.
. "It is no longer possible,"' lie said, 7"to
go east of Chicago and . obtain proper
theological training. There' new things not
scriptural have been added, and the In
stitutions are top-heavy with, more brains
than consecration. I would rather have
my son graduate from some, small western
school like Bellevue or Bethany than, from
one of these top-heavy' eastern Institu
tions." Banner Goes Ont Today.
The awarding of a new banner to the
society showing the greatest number of
members present was postponed until to
day's meeting. This banner was presented
to the society by the Cnlted Church En

lxed.
A large number of bills representing ex
pendltures in the fire and police depart

PITIFUL SCENE IN COURT
Mother and Children Weep aa They
Enjoy Visit Allowed by
the,. Judge. ,
Chance visitors to 'the temporarily de
serted court room ' of Judge Day Monday
afternoon saw a group consisting of one
woman and two little girls clasped In each
others' arms and weeping tears that were
unrestrained. Th .woman - and one girl
were seated on-the lower step of the plat
form on which the judge sits, while the
other child was alternately seated on the
step above them and kneeling on the floor
with her arms around both the others.
After a time a boy Joined the group and
he, too,', wept furtively, but none the less
sincerely. An occasional passer by glanced
with interest at the little group, then
quietly went on with a serious face.
The entwined trio were a mother and her
children. The child about whom they all
tried to put their arms at once was the
daughter of the woman by. a first hu
band. Her story has been told in The Bee
heretofore, and la of the nature of unde
rerved misfortune accentuated by an lm
petuous breaking away from the home ties
which had become Irksome and seemingly
unbearable. After much trouble and a pub
lie hearing before Judge Day the daugh
ter of the first husband who Is given
fine character for lovableness and cleverness
by her teachers and schoolmates was tern
porarlly placed in the home of a family of
good standing. There she has been happy
and quite contented, according to reports
of Mrs. Towle, one of the probation off!
cers.
Monday the court consented that the
mother and the children of her second mar
Huge should have a visit with the older
girl. When they met, after the first greet
lngs were over, and' they had seated them
selves away from prying eyes, they at once
dissolved In tears. With arms about each
other the mother and daughter rocked to
and fro where they sat and wept noise
lessly in mutual contrition. The first grief
spent, they conversed very earnestly, em
bracing each other again and again. They
had a long, sad visit. After a time they
had to separate, the woman and her two
younger children going to their home and
the other girl to her good friends of the
day of deep trouble; but the meeting had
very plainly done them all good. By and
by, If all goes well, they will be perma
nently united again.

koff, whom the correspondent of the As
sociated Press saw, not only showed by
their manner their delight at the result
of the audience, but expressed themselves
as fully satisfied with the Imperisl as
surances. Bo far as they are concerned
they Indicated that they are now ready
to await the fulfillment of the emperor's
promise, which It is believed will not be
long delayed.
The delegation Is now preparing an ae
count of the audience which will be pre
sented to the St. Petersburg douma to
morrow and In accordance with their In
structlons as well as the Imperial wish will
be communicated to all the xemstvos and

Contents of the Address.
The address adopted by the all-Russlan
xemstvo and municipal congress assembled
at Moscow was taken to St. Petersburg
for presentation to the emperor by a depu
tation, headed by Count Hayden and M
Shlpoff, former president of the Moscow
semstvo, but It does not appear from the
cable dispatch ' that the document was
handed to his majesty, although doubtless
Prince Troubetskoy and M. Fedoroff In
their speeches communicated the substance
of the speech to the emperor. The docu
irtent In Its original form bids fair to be
come historic. The customary phrases of
respect at the opening and the closing wre
omitted and It was otherwise unceremoni
ous, employing the direct personal pro
noun.
The address arraigned the bureaucracy
and reminded the emperor that his pledge
to convoke a national assembly was slow
of fulfillment. It said the country was on
the verge of civil war and even ventured
to criticise a royal measure, contrasting
the Increase of the police power by the
ukase Issued June i with the weakening
of the administrative process, which the
country had been led to expect.
The address urged the summoning of a
national assembly, that the war might be
come national or cease and concluded with
a solemn reminder of the sovereign's duty
to God and the fatherland and a prayer for
action before It was too late.
were burned o' death.' The fire spread so
rapidly that the officers and crew had time
to escape ogly In their nlghclothes. Several
had to Jump overboard Into the bay, where
they were rescued by firemen. The flames
spread to the freight sheds of the Grand
Trunk railway and these were also burned
before the fire was got under control. The
entire contents of the docks were lost.

published In The 'Bee Saturday as given
out by the different railroad officials on the
Chicago business as being too high, re
turns show the estimate of 11,000 people
under, rathef than over the mark. The
Burlington alone sold over 2,000 tlckots
from Omaha and reports Monday morning
show that counting the people who went
through Omaha. Plattsmouth and on the

Nebraska. The 'Rock Island officials say
that from Lincoln, Omaha and Council
