FEED YOU MONEY
Feed Your Brain and It Will Feed
You Money and Fame
Ever since boyhood I have been
especially fond of meats and I am
convinced I ate too rapidly and failed
to masticate my food properly
The result was that I found my
self a few years ago afflicted with
ailments of the stomach and kidneys
which interfered seriously with my
business
At last I took the advice of friends
and began to eat Grape Nuts instead
of the heavy meats etc that had con
stituted my former diet
I found that I was at once benefited
by the change that I was soon reliev
ed from the heart burn and the indi
gestion that used to follow my meals
that the pains in my back from my
kidney affection had ceased showing
that those organs had been healed and
that my nerves which used to be un
steady and my brain which was slow
and lethargic from a heavy diet of
meats and greasy foods had not in a
moment but gradually and none the
less surely been restored to normal
efficiency Now every nerve is steady
and my brain and thinking faculties
are quicker and more acute than for
years past
After my old style breakfasts I
used to suffer during the forenoon
from a feeling of weakness which hin
dered me seriously in my work but
since I have begun to use Grape Nuts
food I can work till dinner time with
all ease and comfort Name given by

TOKIO A Japanese officer who
has returned to Sasebo gives the fol
lowing account of the sea fight off the
Teu Islands
At 530 Saturday morning a wire
less message reading The enemys
squadron is in sight reached the
naval base This message was trans
mitted to all our ships by the flag
ships with instructions to get ready
for action Our squadrons left their
rendezvous and headed for the east
ern channel off Tsushima Our men
seemed to be filled with new inspira
tion and were eager for the long de
layed fight to begin When Tsushima
was sighted to the southwest the sea
was rough and the torpedo boats were
forced to run for the shelter of the
island Our third fighting squadron
with the Takashiho to port reconnoit
ered the Russian course and at 1130
a m informed the main squadron by
wireless telegraph that the Russian
ships were passing into the east chan
nel whereupon our main squadron
changing its course somewhat to the
southward came in sight of Okin
shima at 1 oclock in the afternoon
The third division arrived later and
joined the main squadron The first
and second divisions accompanied by
the destroyer flotilla changed to a
westerly course while the third divi
sion and the fourth destroyer flotilla
headed slight eastward During the
maneuver the Russian flagship ap
peared to the southward at 145
oclock The Russians steamed up in
double column The fleet was numer
ous but no living being was visible
The Russian ships seemed to be in
good order Our ships hoisted the flag
of action the Mikasa signaling The
destiny of our empire depends upon
this action You are all expected to
do your utmost
Russians Open Fire
Our men seemed to silently weigh
the significance of this signal Our
first and second divisions turned to
the Russians starboard while the
third division kept in close touch with
the preceding two divisions With the
Japanese ship3 passing in this order
it was 213 oclock when the Russians
opened fire The fire two shots fell
short of our line and it was some
minutes later before we commenced
firing Then the battle was on with
firing from both sides Our destroy
ers kept on the port side of the main
squadron and in this formation we
pressed the Russians against the i
coast of Kiushiu and they were
obliged to change their course to the
east We also maneuvered our ships
so as to have their bows parallel to
the north side of the Russian line So
the Mikasa of our first division which
had been leadinc changed to the rear
of the line while the Kasuga headed
the line
Engagement is Fierce
The engagement now became very
fierce The Borodino was seen to be
on fire A little later the Russians
headed west and we changed our
course accordingly Five ships of our
second divison concentrated ther fire
on the Borodino Our first division
now began firing vigorously proceed

as we began to press against the head
of the Russian line our third division
veered to the Russian rear thus en
veloping their ships The engagement
proceeded hotly Our second division
followed a course parallel with the
northern side of the Russians and
this movement completed the envelop
ment The Russian ships were seen
trying to break through and our de
stroyer flotilla intercepted their new
course This state of envelopment
continued until the following day with
the ships at varying distances Thus
enclosed on all sides the Russians
were helpless and powerless to escape
the circle Previous instructions had
been given the destroyers and torpedo
boats to attack the Russian ships Fol
lowing instructions the fifth destroy
er flotilla advanced against a Russian
ship upon which the second division
had been concentrating its fire signal
ing We are going to give the last
thrust at them
Torpedo Attack
The Russian ship continued to fight
and seeing the approachng torpedo
boats directed its fire on them Un
daunted our destroyers pressed for
ward the Chitose meantime continu
ing its fire The torpedo flotilla ar
rived within 200 meters of the Rus
sian ship and the Shiranus fired the
first shot Two other torpedo boats
fired one each The Shiranus received
two shells but the other boats were
not damaged The Russian ship was
completely sunk
Sundown saw the battle raging furi

signs of confusion Our fifth torpedo

Russians frut rated the first and sec
ond attacks wth sfirchlights A third
attempt was carefully planned and the
Yugari sank a ship of the Borodino
tvpe and also hit others During the
nicht the Russians continued to move
and we preserved our enveloping
movement some distance from the
I Russian position The Russians head
ed northeast after davbreak hoping
to reach Vladivostok Our officers and
men were determined that not a ship

NO SETTLEMENT OF STRIKE
Adjustment of Trouble Appears to Be
As Far Off As Ever
CHICAGO An adjustment of
teamsters strike by mediation seems
as remote now as it did two months
ago Peace negotiations begun last
week which promised to bring about
an amicable adjustment of the diffi
culty have been abandoned fov the
present at least and the strike will
be allowed to take its natural course
according to President Shea of the
teamsters organization A natural
course means one of two things either
a spread of the strike or defeat for
the union as all business firms now
involved in the trouble absolutely re
fuse to concede anything further in
the controversy or to bring about a
settlement
Peace negotiations are off for all
time said Levy Mayer chief counsel
for the employers We absolutely are
finished with all conferences with
strikers The only thing that prevent
ed a settlement of the whole trouble
was pique on the part of President
Shea because he had been slighted in
the conferences and was angered on
account of his arrect in connQction
with libel charges filed by Mr Thorne
of the Montgomery Ward company
The only way that a settlement can
be reached now is for the strikers to
acknowledge defeat
