TRAINED NURSE
Remarks About Nourishing Food.
"A physician's wife gave me a
package of Grape-Nuts one day, with
the remark that she was sure I
would find the food very beneficial,
both for my own use and for my
patients. I was particularly at
tracted t to the food, as at that time
the weather was very hot and I
appreciated the fact that Grape-Nuts
requires no cooking.
"The food was deliciously crisp,
and most inviting to the appetite.
After making use of it twice a day
for three or four weeks, I discovered
that it was a most wonderful in
vigorator. I used to suffer greatly
from exhaustion, headaches and de
pression of spirits. My work had
been very trying at times and indi
gestion had set in.
"Now I am always well and ready
for any amount of work, have an
abundance of active energy, cheer
fulness and mental poise. I have
proved to my entire satisfaction
that this change has been brought
about by GraperNuts food .
"The fact that it is predigested is
a very desirable feature. I have had
many remarkable results In feeding
Grape-Nuts to my patients, and I
can not speak too highly of the food.
My friends constantly comment on
the change in my appearance. I
have gained 9 pounds since begin
ning the Use of this food."

termined after further report, the
London embassy having been ordered
to investigate the charges that the
young woman was subjected to cruel
treatment.
It was pointed out that if Mrs.
Emerson, mother of the young wo
man, has complained to the embassy
it must have been subsequent to the
sending of Charge Laughiin's report
which said the mother had filed no
charges, although she was granted
an hour's interview with her daugh
ter. Secretary Bryan will immediately
take up with Chandler Anderson,
the counselor of the deparatment, the
question of what is to be done. Prac
tically there aro no precedents, the
nearest similar case being that of
Mrs. Maybrick, when some of the
highest officials in the United States
petitioned the British government to
release the American woman from
the prison where she was serving a
life sentence. It was held by several
secretaries, notably Blaine and Hay,
that there was no warrant for a
direct official request from the United
States government for clemency in
Mrs. Maybrick's case, so these repre
sentatives were unofficial, though
made through the American ambas
sador in London.
Secretary Bryan wishes first to
establish tho complete regularity of
the judicial proceedings in tho case
of Miss Emerson, and if he follows
the ordinary course and ascertains
that there has been no discrimina
tion against tho woman on account
of her nationality and that she has
not been treated in a cruel, inhuman
manner, forbidden by the principles
of the law common to all nations, he
likewise probably will confine him
self to tho exercise of his functions
in an unofficial way to secure an
amelioration of Miss Emerson's condition.

A lawyer was cross-examining an
