PHYSICIAN SAYS
Children Thrive on Grape Nuts and
Cream.
A Mass, physician has found a cure
for constipation in children — citing
fifteen cases—by feeding them Grape
Nuts.
“Some time ago,” he writes, “I be
came interested in your food, Grape
Nuts, as a cure for constipation in
children. Having tried it in my own
family, I have advised it in fifteen
cases in which all suffered with con
stipation more or less severe. The re
sult has been absolute relief in all.
"I write this that other children
may be benefited.”
How much better it is thus to bring
about a healthy action in the bowels
of growing children by natural means,
than to feed them with improper food,
requiring some kind of cathartic at
intervals to overcome constipation.
Grape-Nuts gives energy to the en
tire nervous system including the
nerves that cause the natural con
traction and relaxation of the bowel
muscles, that propel the food mass
along.
It is predigested also, and the blood
easily absorbs the food as it goes
through the body, storing up vitality
and force for the functions of all the
organs.
Children especially, should get the
right start as to habits of living.
They should grow into bright, strong,
cheerful men and women. Grape-Nuts
solve the question of the start; a
wholesome appetite will do the rest.
Children’s teeth are benefited by
chewing Grape-Nuts, also. Your dent
ist will tell you that a certain amount
of exercise in chewing firm food, is
necessary to grow strong, beautiful
teeth.
Teeth need exercise just the same
as muscles, if they are to grow
strong and firm as nature intended.
Grape-Nuts gives the exercise and
also gives material from which good
teeth are made.

book, ‘‘The Road to Wellville,” in

THE WAR BALLOON IN GERMAN ARMY
The balloon, with which the German arnry authorities have been experimenting, has a long, torpedo-like
envelope. It is kept rigid, not by any framework, but by two small balloons within the great envelope. These are
kept continually taut by air pumped into them by the motor, which also drives the screw. It is kept even by
two rigid horizontal planes fixed to the sides of the balloon above the rudder. The inventor, Maj. von Per
seval, claims that his balloon can be deflated and packed up very much quicker than any other existing
aerostat. . T,„.
TO TEACH THE POOR.
Convention Planned by Field Work
ers at Winona Lake for Purpose
of Spreading the Gospel in
Rural Districts.
Winona Lake, Ind.—One of the
most peculiar and interesting conven
tions of the year will he held here in
August, when the Indiana field work
ers of the American Sunday School
union, and perhaps a number from
other states, will hold the first con
ference the Indiana workers have
ever held. It will bring together nine
men from this state, who are seldom
seen and heard by the people of cities
and larger towns, but they are men
who, in the sparsely settled regions
of the state, are better known than
the carriers on the rural mail routes.
It is the business of these field work
ers to go among a class of people that
would not otherwise hear of the Bible
and quicken their interest in the book.
The chief purpose of the Sunday
School union is to get copies of the
Bible in these homes, and with this
purpose is closely linked that of or
ganizing Sunday schools at points
convenient for the poor of the rural
districts.
The American Sunday School union,
with headquarters in Philadelphia,
was organized in 1824, and it has
spent $10,000,000 for Bibles and other
religious literature, all of which has
been distributed free in the remote
regions of American civilization.
It pays no salaries to Its field men,
who live as best they can from free
will offerings of the people among
whom they work, and their lot is
harder than-that of the old-time cir
cuit rider, who rode his horse from
settlement to settlement when In
diana was young. The field men seek
the crossroads points, and there open
the Sunday schools, using blacksmith
shops, granaries or any kind of build
ing that will offer shelter from the
weather, and in these Sunday schools
are gathered the men, women and
i children of the neighborhood, regard
less of religious beliefs.
Of the men at work in this state,
J. M. Caress, of New Albany, goes
through the hill country of southern
Indiana. J. A. Carter has Brown
county in his district, and he has or
ganized a number of Sunday schools
: for the neglected poor in the hills of
that and Morgan county.
W. H. Hess, who is organizing the
August conference, makes his home
at Winona Lake throughout the year
and the ten northern Indiana counties
over which he travels are one of the
largest districts that the Sunday
School union has in the middle west.
The methods followed by Mr. Hess
j are typical of those of all the mis
sionaries. He has a wagon similar
to that of the rural mail carrier, only
it is not brilliant with red paint and
it is covered with religious inscrip
tions.
Mr. Hess went into this Sunday
school work six years ago, with his
pockets empty, but he was fired with
the hope that seems to fill every kind
of mission worker. E. A. K. Hackett,
of Port Wayne, started a movement
which resulted in a good outfit for Mr.
Hess—a strong horse, a good set of
harness and a substantial, comfort
able wagon, which can be driven in
all kinds of weather and over all
kinds of country roads. Mr. Hackett
also keeps this “gospel wagon” sup
plied with song books, which the mis
sionary uses in his Sunday schools.
A variety of literature is stacked up
in shelves in the Hess wagon, but the
chief stock is Bibles. The Bibles are
substantially bound in cloth, printed
In minion type and the covers are of
dark red. that the book may be more
attractive to children. In six years
Mr. Hess has found 500 families In
the ten counties of his district who
had no Bible. He had found boys 15
years old who had never been inside
of a Sunday school.
“It is surprising to see,” he said,
Beef Exports Falling Short.
Washington.—Completed figures of
the exports of American canned meats
for the past fiscal year are shown in
a statement issued by the depart
ment of commerce and labor. The
valued of canned meats exported from
the United States in June, 1906, was
$461,000, against $797,127 in June, 1905,
and in the fiscal year 1906, $3,233,410,
against $9,577,045 in 1905. The fig
ures for the fiscal year 1906 Include
canned beef, $6,430,446; canned pork,
$1,215,857; other canned meats, $1,
587,107.
The quantity of canned beef export
ed in the fiscal year was 64,523,359 j
pounds, as against 66,688,568 pounds
in 1905.
The reduction in exports occurred i
almost exclusively in the shipments
to Japan, which country took large
ly of American canned beef during the
war, but greatly reduced her importa
tion on the disbanding of the army.
The exports of canned beef to Japan
in the fiscal year 1906 were 2,306,583 I
pounds, against 14,687,165 pounds in
1905, and in the month of June, 1906,
were 34,412 pounds, against 3,611,388
in June, 1905.
Great Britain was the greatest buy
er of canned beef, exports to that
“what destitution there is in the way
of knowledge of the Bible in this old
settled region of the state. But there
has been mission work done among
the poor and ignorant in this part of
Indiana, for in Wabash county I have
found tracts which were distributed
to the humble homes 50 years ago.”
Mr. Hess has started a Sunday
school in an abandoned country
church, which during its palmy days
sent out eight ministers of the gos
pel. Five years ago he opened a
school in one neighborhood, and a
girl of 14 years old immediately be
came its mainstay. She is now the
efficient superintendent of the school.
In one little town of his territory
Mr. Hess found a church that had
been abandoned. He obtained per
mission to use the structure, spent
two days in driving to the homes of
41 families, and on the next Sabbath
opened a school. When the mission
ary first entered this town the word
spread among the people that he was
a state fish warden. One woman
buried her husband's fish nets in the
ground. Mr. Hess, a few months ago,
held a series of meetings in this place
and converted 49.
The conference of the missionaries
will be held at Winona lake during
the Bibte conference, when some of
the best religious orators who speak
the English tongue will be here.
country increasing 4,578,185 pounds
for the fiscal year, but decreasing for
the month of June, 1906.
Of the exports of canned beef for
the fiscal year the United Kingdom
took 9,939,254 pounds and Belgium
968,972 pounds.
Kaiser’s Son to Study in United States.
Berlin.—The kaiser's fourth son,
Prince August William, will complete
his educational training at American in
stitutions. Harvard, Yale, and Ccrn
nell are mentioned by those who are
laying out his course. After his
American course the prince will pass
a term at either Oxford or Cambridge,
in England. He is to be made partic
ularly proficient in political history,
political economy and constitutional
and international law.
New Fruit Shows Fright.
London.—A Philippeville newspaper
announces the discovery of an ex
traordinary fruit which has grown on
a native tree known as the caroudier.
When squeezed it utters a sort of in
articulate cry; when scratched it
shudders. It is about the size of a
peach, and the paper from which the
description is taken suggests that it
is part animal and part vegetable.
JAPAN GOING TO TRY AN EXPERIMENT
Washington.—That Japan is pre
paring to nationalize all the industries
of the country is indicated by advices
received by the bureau of manufac
tures. This move, which is one of the
greatest experiments in the world’s
history, includes the protection, super
vision and development of the various
lines of business, all under the direct
charge of the government. The pro
vision for the nationalization of the
railways is only a single step in the
great plan.
The question of Manchurian devel
opment has received careful attention,
RUILmmiJU
and now it is proposed that a com
pany shall be formed by the govern
ment and private capitalists jointly
for operating the railways, mines and
forests there. Americans who are
striving for the trade of the orient
will discover that they are in com
mercial conflict with the Japanese na
tion itself.

Water Too Shallow for Speed.
There is no part of the lake and
river channel between Cleveland and
Detroit where the water is so deep
that it does not afreet the speed of
lake steamers of large size.
Ohio’s Productive Fields.
In a good year Ohio grows about
nine bushels of wheat for every man,
woman and child in the state, a bar
rel of apples and from 20 to 25 bush
els of corn.
Composition of Sealing Wax.
Sealing wax is not wax, nor does
it contain a single particle of wax.
It is made of shellac and resin melted

GOOD AIR KILLS NEGROES.
Washington. — Perfect sanitation
and cleanliness are proving fatal to
the West Indian negroes employed on
the Panama canal. Although Col.
Corgas and his assistants have ban
ished yellow fever and other tropical
fevers, which made the canal zone
one large burying ground for the
French canal builders, they have
found that sanitary precautions taken
in the quarters occupied by workmen
make the Jamaican negroes especially
susceptible to pneumonia and other
throat and lung troubles.
West Indians are not accustomed to
an abundance of fresh air and well
ventilated, cleanly quarters. Living
for generations in small hutB, where
large families crowd into rooms tight
ly closed against the night air, the
negroes from Jamaica and other trop
ical islands have developed lungs with
cramped capacity and. especially sus
ceptible to changes and temperature.
West Indian laborers cannot be in
duced to eat sufficient wholesome food
'mM ll«
to keep them in good health, even
when supplies are furnished to them
at cost price and meals are made
attractive at great expense to the ca
nal commission.
Decline in Exports of Oil.
Washington.—A large decrease in
the exports of petroleum during May
is shown in the government reports.
This follows a large decrease in April,
and the decline is explained as due
in part to heavy shipments in preced
ing months. The falling off has been
most marked in the shipments to the
far east, where the American oil has
to meet the competition of the Samat
ra product. The exports daring the
first five months of the present cal
endar year were 483,898,710 gallons,
an increase of more than 32,000,000
gallons over those of the correspond
ing period of the previous year. More
than half the increase was in illu
minating oiL
Too Funny.
“Mister,” said the bruised and bat
tered man, as he entered the newspa
per office, “L want you to stop my pa
per. I can’t stand the comic page.”
“Why,” replied the clerk, in sur
prise, “our comic page is conceded to
be the funniest out.”
“That’s just it, young man; it is too
funny. Why, last night while 1 was
reading some of the jokes in the kitch
en, I started to laugh, and, by gum,
I laughed so loud I tilted my chair too
far back, upset sis jars of gooseberry
preserves, knocked down the stove and
killed the cat. Then the old woman
came near killing me; so I reckon you
better stop the paper.”
He Was Sorry.
Bill—They say there was an actor
at the theater last night who got hit
square in the face with an overripe
egg.
Jill—I was there.
“Didn’t you feel sorry?”
“Yes, I did. There was a woman sit
ting in front of me with a big hat
and I didn’t see the egg strike him."
