BIS Gllxnpse of th Xedltcrraxteaa, tka Bolr JmmH and Arabia, "VYltX Some Doubtful History. JIA20LA, March 2MSpdal Correspon dence.) The trip to Manila across the Pa cific li an old story now, but by way of Suez It Is stlU full of Interest and much sought after by the soldiers who call for the far-off Philippines. Having been for tunate enough to make the much-desired passage, I take pleasure In relating- what I know of It to the boys of the Second Oregon. After sailing out past liberty statue and Sandy Hook, the first land sighted was the coast of Portugal 10 days out of New Tork. Passing In through the Straits of Gibraltar, with the ooast of Africa loom ing up to starboard, and the barren hills of Spain rolling away to port, we enter the blue Mediterranean and drop anchor at the Bock of Gibraltar. This great "stone lion" Is 1100 feet high and three miles long. It Is connected to Spain by g, narrow Isthmus, which Is neutral ground. The rock bristles with guns, but very few are visible from water. It Is honey-combed with tunnels and galleries, but visitors are not permitted to see many of them. England has 6000 soldiers here and claims to keep seven years" provisions stored away In the rocky recesses. The Straits are 14 miles wide here, but every inch Is under the guns of Gibraltar. Di rectly opposite Is the Bock of Ceuta, on the coast of Africa. This rock and Gibral tar were known to the ancients as the "Pillars of Hercules," and were long re garded as the western boundary of the world. Sunny Spain stretches away bar ren and mountainous. A number of towns are In sight which look white and clean, but we are told that they are quite the reverse at close quarters. Sailing from here "four days brings us to the Island of Malta, the historic Island where Paul of Tarsus was shipwrecked. This Island was also held 23) years by the virtuous Knights-Templar, who made it the stronghold of Christianity against the Turks. -England kecpa a strong gar rison here, and the city Is fortified with an old wall similar to that at Manila. The English soldiers pointed out to us the place whero Paul was shipwrecked, and where the battles between the Turks and Christians were fought. At one place they fought a battle In the water, swim ming with swords In their teeth. They eald that on a clear day they can see the Island of Sicily, 60 miles away. There Is a building here which was built by Na poleon when he conquered the Island, and any number of Interesting sights for tour ists. The native Maltese look like Italians. -The Mediterranean Is a peculiar body of water. In that It has no tide. Although It is midwinter, the weather Is warm and pleasant, and the sky and sea blue. It is a pleasure to travel here, as we are con tinually passing Islands and getting occa sional glimpses of the coast of Africa. Three days from Malta bring us to Port Said, at the entrance of the Suez Canal. The country about hero Is low and flat, and not visible far out at sea. The first thing we see on coming up to the city Is a large statue of T? Lcsseps. The town Itself Is a true Image of Coney Island. It Is a small place, but has a mixed popu lation. We are now in the land of veiled women, (lowing robes, camels. and sons of the desert. One part of the city Is called "Arab town," and here the Midway flourishes In all Its Oriental splendor. The canal starts from here and runs through a sandy desert to the Bed Sea. Ships must run very slowly to avoid wash ing the banks, and though It is only 90 miles long, we were 24 hours going through. In places it Is so narrow that we could have Jumped ashore, while If two ships met, one of them must tie up to the bank. In some places It Is walled, while In others the sand seems almost turned to stone. "We saw several gangs of camels at work carrying dirt away from the banks. Each camel would kneel to receive his load and then rise and go lumbering off with It, the picture of awkwardness and usefulness. A few Arabs ran along the banks shouting to the soldiers to throw them "back sheesh," and I know some of them ran five miles. Others wrapped their robes about them and stood gazing in ellcnce at this strange shipload of Christian dogs. The finest sight we saw was a caravan camped in the moonlight. It was a pack train bound from Arabia over into Egypt. The camels were lying down In a long line, and the white-robed Arabs were gathered about the fires smoking. In one place the canal widens out into a great expanse, known as Bitter Lake. Our Chaplain explained to us that the Bed Sea once extended up-to here, and that It was here .the waters divided for the chil dren of Israel and swallowed up Pharaoh's army. , We could see Mount MIgdul. where the Israelites camped In Egypt, while on the other side the barren desert stretched away toward the promised land of Ca naan. Away in the distance loomed up Mount Sinai, where Moses received the Ten Commandments. The utter dryness of this country gives a person the impres sion that rain has never fallen here, and that If it would fall, it would be absorbed before it reached the ground. Passing out at the City of Suez, we en ter the Bed Sea. This sea looks small on the map, but we were five days going through It four of them out of sight of land. This Is one of thohot places of the earth, and it Is not uncommon for the pitch to melt out of the decks. .When there is a breeze it is only a hot wind from the deserts of Arabia or Nubia, and ships usually keep the hose playing on deck. Just before passing through the Straits of Bab el Mandeb, we passed a group of Islands known as the "Twelve Apos"tles." There are Just 12 of them, and all are of solid rock. We stopped for coal at Aden, on the coast of Arabia, It is on a small Island, near the coast, and belongs to England. Our ship was surrounded here, as in other ports, by boats loaded with fruit, curios etc These Arabs are excitable people, and as they coaled ship they ran about shouting and gesticulating with both hands high In the air. They were all hungry, but when a sailor gave one of them a piece of pork he hurled It to the deck with a Mohammedan curse. Like most tropical people, they admire red hair, and some of them had their hair plas. tered over with lime to bleach It. On leaving here we saw the last of -tha desert that has been wlth-us all the way from Egypt The next land we sighted was the Island of Ceylon, where- Sir Thomas Upton has his extensive tea plantations. The part we saw was moun tainous and covered with forests of heavy timber. We passed within five miles of the beach, and when the breeze was off shore we could detect the odor of spices. The mountains and forests resemble tho Cascade Mountains of Oregon. Our next stop was at Singapore. This is a large city, with clean, wide streets and good btflldlngs. The Malays are fine looking people, with clear-cut features and eagle eyes. The women wear rings in their noses. We saw some of the Queen's native soldiers here, and fine men they are. tall, strong and blackbearded. Lucky for us that we have not such men to fight in the Philippines. The Eng lish soldiers could not be good enough to us here. In fact, it was so all along the line. At Gibraltar they cheered us, at Malta their band played "The Star-Spangled Banner," and at Singapore they dragged us into tne saloons. This sudden friend ship Is regarded with some suspicion by the wily American, as things were not al ways thus. Perhaps they have an ax to grind. Singapore harbor is full of islands, and these are dotted with the residences ot wealthy Englishmen. They are Idea homes, away from the heat of the city, and fanned by the cool breezes. We are much nearer the equator, here, than at Manila, end at night the North star U almost on the horizon, while tha Southern Cross is high In the heavens. Balling from here, ws go up past the Island of Borneo and anchor in Manila Bay, 45 days from New York. This Is the swiftest trip yet made by an American transport. There Is no more "combat" here now, but things are still unsettled. Everything seems famlllar-the Filipinos still scratch themselves, the lizards sing the same song end things are much as they were a year ago, GEORGE 8TEUNENBERG. Troop A, Eleventh Cavalry. IB THE SEVERAL COURTS. Suits to Recover Hosey Paid "Wltt ln. Foar Mwths ot ITsiili isjptcy. William Macbeth, trustee In bankrupt cy for the Kauplsch Creamery Company, yesterday filed an action in the State Cir cuit Court against W. C Dey. to recover J500. The complaint sets forth that the petition in bankruptcy was filed August 25, 1899. and that on July 21 previous, be ing within four months of the time of the bankruptcy petition, and the creamery company being then insolvent, paid 1500 to Dey on account of money loaned. This is alleged to have been a. preference. There sn said to be $10,000 claims -due by the Kauplsch Creamery Company, and only J3000 with which to pay them. A judg ment of 00 Is demanded against the de fendant, and that he receive his pro rata of his claim, alone with the other cred itors. A like action was commenced by Will iam Macbeth, as trustee, against the Co lumbia Implement Company, which ob tained a Judgment against the Kauplsch Creamery Company, July 14, tor 2245. The Sheriff garnlsheed 2447 in the possession of the O. R. & N. Co... and out of this the Judgment was satisfied. The trustee al leges that here was also a, preference, as the Judgment was realized upon -within four months of the filing of the bankrupt? cy petition. The point in these cases is that the bankruptcy law discriminates against the payment to creditors by an in solvent within four months of the time he goes into bankruptcy, and calls the same a preference. Iorrer Court Had Jurisdiction. Judge George yesterday dismissed "the petition of Maggie Riley 'for a writ of habeas corpus, holding that the sentence pronounced by the Municipal Court of one year for larceny by bailee of 25 was ac cording to law, and binding. Judge George held that larceny by bailee is only a spe cies of larceny, and the statutes having conferred Jurisdiction upon Justice's Courts of the crime of larceny in the lesser de gree, where the penalty is imprisonment in the County Jail, or a fine, the sentence pronounced by Judge Hennessy is valid, and would be sustained. The court found that as the amount involved was only 25, the case was as one of petit larceny, so far as -punishment Is concerned. If the amount was more than 225 It would come under the head of grand larceny In the degree of punishment, and the Municipal Court would then not have Jurisdiction. This was the position assumed by Mr. Glltner, Deputy. Prosecuting Attorney, in his argument of the case, and Judge George, after examining the law, coincid ed with this view. John T. Logan, attorney for the peti tioner, argued that the statute gives the lower court no Jurisdiction to Impose sen tence for larceny by bailee, whatever the amount, but only to sit as a committing magistrate. One More Try lor Divorce. Bachel HIU has once more sued her husband, Fred Hill, for a divorce, on the ground ot cruel treatment, and she alleges that he continues to Indulge in ardent spirits, notwithstanding his promises not to do so. Mrs. HHi avers that after their last experience in court, when Judge Cle land refused to dissolve the matrimonial knot, she and the defendant made up. and lived together again. For a time, she states, all was well, but Hill soon forgot his pledges, and began to call her bad names, and at the St. Paul House, which he was conducting, abused her, and she had to leave him. This Is the third suit brought by Mrs. Hill. She dismissed the first case. The defendant contested the second, and the court dismissed the com plaint. The plaintiff endeavored to obtain alimony, and attorney's fees, but Judge Cleland declined to make the order. It be ing shown that Hill had given his wife 21700, with part of which she purchased a pawnbroker establishment, and engaged her father to run it. Probate Matters. Edward Gunderson was appointed ad ministrator of the estate of Wm. Kirk, deceased, valued at 2425, ot which 2400 is cash. The whereabouts of the heirs is unknown. , . Michael Freeman was appointed as ad ministrator of the estate 'of his wife, Alice Freeman, deceased, comprising real property in Multnomah County and in Woodburn valued at 21300. The claims are said to eqaul the -value of the estate. The sixth semi-annual account of the executors of the estate Zlba- Bass Nich ols, deceased, was filed, showing 2352 re ceipts and disbursements. Emma Sylvester, administratrix of the estate of Maria Stark, deceased, filed a second semi-annual report, showing 2252 balance on hand, mortgages and notes paid amounting to 22S50, and 23000 dis bursed by order of the Court. Demurrer Sustained. The case ot J. D. Spreckels Bros. Co. vs. the Coos Bay & Boseburg Railway & Nav igation Company came up 'for hearing In the United "States Court yesterday before Judge Bellinger on demurrer to the bill. J. M. Gearin and W. Minor appeared for Messrs. Sheridan. McLane and Bennett, officers of the defendant company, and demurred to the bill on the ground that no relief was demanded against them, and they were not charged with any breach of duty, and that there was nothing in the bill that stated a cause of action against them. J. Couch Flanders and C M. Idle man appeared for complainants. After hearing the arguments. Judge Bellinger sustained the demurrer. Court Xotes. 1 Joseph Englnger, a, subject of the Em peror of Germany, was admitted ".to 'Citi zenship, in the United States Court yes terday. . . Stubbs & Lawrence have appealed to the Supreme Court In the suit ot D. B. Hawkins. In which they were decreed to pay 2573 and 2231 Interest on account of unpaid stock In the Citizens' Real Estate & Investment Company. In. the suit of Carl O. Johnson vs. Portland Granite & Stone Co., In which plaintiff obtained a-verdict for 28000 dam ages, the defendant was allowed one week further time to file a motion for o. new trial yesterday by Judge Sears. The argument of' the motion for a new trial In one of the Andrew Carlson cases was set for Thursday afternoon by Judge George yesterday, on motion of the Dis trict Attorney, who said' he was tired of waiting on the defendant's counsel, and the motion ought to -be disposed of. Carl son stands twice convicted ot highway robbery. Collins "Will Return to Seattle. SAN FBANCISCO. April 3. The habeas corpus proceedings on behalf of John Col lins, the Seattle bank robber, were dis missed by Judge Lawlor today, the pris oner's counsel having concluded that the easiest way out of the difficulty was to go back to Seattle and stand trial. Judge Lawlor dismissed the charges of kidnap ping that were made against the two Se attle officers, who hurried Collins out of this city last week, and who were stopped at Sacramento.

The Taylor-Street Church was crowded J to its utmost capacity last nlgnt xor wo second performance of "Queen Esther." Standing room was at a premium, and this, together with the appreciative at tention accorded various scenes by the talc audience. Droved thit the heart of the people was reached by the event. The., production was charactenzea Dy smoow ness and the complete absence of unpleas ant hitches, such as usually accompany amateur performances. The curtain went up on time, and there were no long waits between scenes. When it is remembered that there are 24 numbers to the can tata, the significance of this fact will be recognized. The stago had been hung with choice Turkish and Persian rugs, which lent an air of Orientalism to the scenes: the costumes had been planned with special reference to that period of Jewish history to which the beautiful Biblical story belongs, and some ot them were 'exceedingly sumptuous the dress of the High Priest. Hegal. for example, which consisted of a rich red gown and cap, with vestments of light silk heavuy embroidered In scarlet flowers. The work of the chorus was uniformly good, for amateur work of this kind. The music of the cantata was well suitea to their voices, since It Is simple and melo dious without being too severe a tax upon the powers of non-professional singers. To E. S. Miller, the conductor, and to Ralph Hoyt and J. F. Bamford. the ac companists, much of the credit of the per formance must belong, for the cnorus ng ures very prominently in all the scenes, and no small amount of work was needed to bring them up to the desired degree of excellence. , Mrs. A. Pollett Clifton, ot Oakland, CaL, took the role of Esther. Her voice Is a. clear, ringing soprano of considerable power and range, such as would natur ally prove effective In a large church. Her part was taken without any faltering or lapse of memory, this being Indeed an Important feature of all the work that was done during the evening by principals and chorus. Miss Eva West made a par ticularly attractive prophetess, the sim plicity of her black robe being admirably fitted to show off the grace of her move ments and the charm of her gestures. Jesse Waddell gave great enjoyment by his sweet singing, his voice being" one of much sweetness. Some of the most de lightful musical numbers of the evening were the duets between Hainan-(P. L Packard) and Zcresb, his wife Mrs. P. H. Fleming). Their voices blended very agreeably, and the audience would doubt less have been glad to encore these, and other numbers. If they had felt free to do so. Much of the heavy work of the can tata, fell upon E. D. Allen, as Ahasuerus, the King. The entire performance wa an exceedingly pleasant and enjoyable one to the big audience. SHOWED STEADY GROWTH. Closing; Exercises ot Y. Sight School. 31. C A. " The closing exercises of the Y. M. C A. Night College took place last evening In the Association Hall, which was crowd ed with the students and their friends. The Interesting programme was enlivened with several selections by the vocal music class, among which was "TJe Brook Miller," "A Savior Ever Near," "Home Again Beturning" and "Pale In the Am ber West." A report of the year's work was made by the chairman of the fac ulty; short talks were made by the presi dent and the general secretary of the as sociation, and Judge W. D. Fenton made the address of the evening. In his report. B. T. Barnes, chairman ot the faculty, congratulated the students on the close of a successful year, and compared the year's work with that of the two preceding years. At tho close of the first year, certificates of merit were awarded to 12; at the end of the second session, 25 received this reward, and this term certificates were granted to 70. He also stated that new appliances had been furnished and several new lines of. work arranged for. The registration for the first year was 236; during the next ses sion it was 294. and this year 331 people took advantage of the classes. Next year, the chairman raid, other new classes would be planned for. Already the Port land school covered a wider field In the way of different branches than any other association night school In the country, with the exception of that at Chicago. Judge Fenton selected for his subject "The Self-Mado Man." He spoke inter estingly tor half an hour, and told of great men In the past who had reached the full measure of earthly success with out the advantages such as this and other night schools afforded. He said. In speak ing of self-made men, one's thoughts nat urally reverted to the practical or bread winning side; but there ore successes not measured In this way. The speaker quoted from Bishop Fowler, who said throw a young man against a brick wall, and If he sticks look out for him; If ha falls, let him He. Judge Fenton's remarks were attentively listened to and frequent ly applauded. Secretary H. W. Stone spoke t6 tha class, for a few minutes. In conclusion, and his felicitous talk, like-that of the greet ing of the president. W. M. Ladd. was along general lines, and was entirely in formal.

NEW ROUTING SCHEME smPMESTs nrro Canada aht BACK AGAUf. Northern Paeifle Opens Kw Stations Sorr Doable Train Service Railroad Notes. Portland Jobbers will be Interested to read the following relating to shipments rolnr into Canada and back again into American territory: November 9. 1S99, the auditor of the Spo kane FaUs & Northern. A, M. Thomas, notified agents that he had been advieed by the, Collector of Customs, that the cus toms regulations did pot permit of ship ments being made from a point In tho United States through Canadian territory to another point In the united states, ex cept In sealed cars. Auditor Thomas stated that, as his line had no rail connections with the Canadian Ptwlflc, either at Nel son or Bossland, It could not accept ship ments for Bepublic and other United States points, when routed via Northport ,and the Canadian Pacific The only avail able route then open was via Meyers Falls, Marcus or Blassburg, and the several stage routes from those points. Tho foregoing Instructions were amend ed March 6, 1900. As now arranged, ship ments may be transported in carload lots through British Columbia via Roasiand and Grand Forks, B. C, only re-entering the United States at Nelson, Wash., in the fallowing manner: An Inspector may be detailed to go to Bossland and supervise the transfer, and seal the Canadian Pacific cars with United Statcfl customs seals. The manifests to cover the contents ot the car are pre pared at Newport. The per diem and ac tual expense of the officers Is to be paid by the consignees In each case". Tho freight traffic officials of the Great Northern. Northern Pacific and O. R. & N. have been notified by the Canadian Pacific that hereafter It will be necessary to have all carload freight prepaid through Rossland to Grand Forks, plus 5 cents per 100 pounds transfer charges at Rossland, and 10 cents per 100 for United States convoy from Grand Forks to Nelson, Wash., Jn addition to the per diem and actual expenses of customs officer de tailed to supervise transfer of shipments at Bossland, and that copy of Invoice covering shipments must accompany bill, lng. RAIL AND "WATER RATES. Interstate Commerce Commission Hearing; nt San Francisco. SAN FBANCISCO. April 3.-A. C. Bu lofson', of Baker & Hamilton, hardware dealers, resumed the witness-stand today in the Investigation being conducted by the Interstate Commerce Commission re garding the readjustment of rates between Pacific Coast points and the Middle West. Bulofson said that the firm to which be belonged was a party to no agreement re stricting It to a certain territory. In the last five years freight rates between here and the East have decreased the selling territory ot his firm. We3t-bound rates are lower than east-bound rates. There Is no pooling of business or prqfits In the hardware business, or any other business that Bulofson knows ot among the Job bers In this territory. Prices on the Pa cific Coast are made by adding carload prices to freight rates. Allowance Is made for a fair profit. Jobbers endeavor to maintain prices when fixed by the man ufacturer. There was nothing In the methods prior to June. 1S9S, when the Mil waukee tariff was adopted, different from existing methods. The only effect of the tariff has been that Instead of adding 60 cents to the Pittsburg price, the local Jobbers now add 75 cents. Mr. Bulofson testified that an Increase In the rates on Eastern railways would shut out the New England manufacturer, restricting the purchasing field to the Middle West. G. W. Ste'rry, representing the Santa Fe. brought out by questions that the effect, so far as the Pacific Coast Jobber Is concerned, of the lowering of differ entials, would be to decrease prices, while local Jobbers would be able to get all the goods they want from Illinois and the Middle West- Bulofson Insisted, however, that while this might be the temporary effect, the removal of competition would be bad for the local Jobbers. Mr. Bulof son Insisted that If Pacific Coast mer chants were not protected they would re sort to the sea routes. Commissioner Knapp then took the witness In hand. "Mr. Bulofson, If there were no ocean" "There would be no San Francisco," In terrupted the witness. "We would not be here. This hearing would not be In prog ress. The ocean Is a factor, and there U no getting around the proposition. With reference to overland transportation, we are, at the rimsof the wheel; but com mercially, we are nearer New York than Denver is." "But If there were no ocean, the East ern rates to San Francisco would be higher, would -they not?" "That would be the logical contention of any man who U not a railroad man." "Is tho railroad under any obligation to give a cheaper rate to San Francisco than to Denver?" "No obligation. The railroad can charge what It likes. We have the ocean." "But what right has San Francisco to a cheaper rate?" "The right of might. I would not com. pel tho railroads to give us rates, except as they find.lt to their own advantage" A number of other witnesses followed Bulofson, testifying on the same -general lines.

Ky.. and wife of Joseph Creech, a saloon-keeper on South Main street, lost her life this morning, vrhlle trying to protect her hus band from the bullet of a would-be assas sin. The murderer, wnu Is unknown, had had a trifling quarrel with Creech In the tatter's saloon, about 5:30 this morn ing. The stranger drew a gun and snapped It at Creech. It failed to go off. The stranger ran out and Creech after him.- Mrs. Creech, feartnc for the safety Ot her husband, followed. Outside the stranger snapped his gun again at Creech, and It failed to discharge again. Mrs. Creech Jumped between them Just as the stranger aimed another at him. This time the gun went off, and the bullet struck the woman In the breast. She died In a few minutes. Creech started after the man. but was unable to catch up with' him. Ed Allison was arrested later and taken to the' city Jail, After being locked up he managed to make his escape. He pried off some of the wall covering, got to -the floor above, and made his exit over the roof of the Jail, and" the roofs of some adjoining buildings. in Oresron Hlnlna Lavrs. BROWNSVILLE. Or.. April 2. To the Editor.) My attention has been called to a statement In The Oregonlan In regard to the time In which work must be done on a mining claim under tne law. The point at Issue between several mining men of this city Is the time In which a person who makes a location shall do the work re quired to sink a 10-foot shaft upon It. or run a 10-foot tunnel, etc The clipping which I enclose, as you will note, states that the statute allows only CO days within which this work must be done arter mak ing the location. It Is contended that this is wrong, and that the statutes provide that the time shall be within a period ot 90 days from the time ot locating a claim. Will you please publish in your valuable paper the exact time. It a mistake has been made In the number CO Instead of 90. and thus set many mining men right en the subject? A copy of the law here says 00 days. Instead ot CO. F. M. BBOWN. Ninety days Is right. The mining laws of Oregon were changed at the special session of the legislature In 1KB. Among the provisions of general interest are: Section 1. Any person, a dtlien of the United States, or one who has declared his In tention to become such, who discovers a vein or lode of mineral-bearing rock In place upon the unappropriated public domain ot the United States, within this state, may locate a claim upon such vein or lode so discovered, by post ing thereon a notice of such dlscoverey and lo cation, which raid notice shall contain, etc Sec 2. Such locator shall file tor record with the recorder of conveyances. If there be one. who shall be the custodian ot mining records and miners' liens, otherwise with the clerk of the county wherein said claim la situate, a copy of the notice so posted by htm upon the lode or claim, within 30 days after the date of posting the same upon the claim. Sec 3. Before the expiration of 80 days from the date of posting the said notice of discovery upon his claim, as aforesaid, the locator must sink a discovery shaft upon the claim located to a depth of at least 10 feet from the lowest part ot the run of such shaft at the surface, or deeper If necessary, to hi.ow by such work a lode or vein of mineral deposit In place. A cut or cross-cut or tunnel which cuts the lode at a depth ot 10 feet, or an open cut at leat six feet deep, four feet wide, and 10 feet In length along the lode from the point where the same may be la any manner discovered. Is equivalent to such discovery shaft. Such work shall not be deemed a part of the assessment work required by the Revised Statutes cf the United States. Sec 10. Any and all locations or attempted I locations of quartx mining claims within the utate subsequent to the 31st day of December. 1S8S. that shall not comply and be In accord ance with the provisions ot this act. shall be null and void. Sec , 11. That all contracts of mining co partnership commonly known aa "grub-staking." shall be in writing and filed for record with the recorder of conveyance ot the coun ty wherein locations thereunder are made. Such contracts must contain, first, the names of the parties thereto, and second, the duration there of. Otherwise, such contracts shall be null and void. Indianapolis Plumber Strike. INDIANAPOLIS.

"When I began the use of Grape-Nuts food 'for breakfast. I was suffering with nervous and stomach troubles. I found that Grape-Nuts furn'shed a nourishing, satisfying meal, that the stomach took to .beautifully. I feel so much more satisfied and well-fed after a rreal of urape-.uis. and do not have that disagreeable gorged and tight feeling In the stomach which so often used to accompany my meals when I was using other foods. "This proves to me that Grape-Nuts food is a highly condensed and nourishing food which satisfies the system as no other food does, and causer no Indigestion. It Is a Godsend to all sufferers of stomach and nervous troubles. "I have several neighbors who are using goth Postum Cereal Coffee and Grape Nuts, and they wonder how they ever did without either, since learning how good and beneficial they are. One lady has a family of growing school children. She says they use nothing else for their lunch eon at noon but Grape-Nuts with milk. They all enjoy tho food very much and feel well fed. She states that when the chil dren come In from school, they are not starved for a piece of something to eat. as they formerly were when they lunched from all other foods. "This has convinced her that Grape Nuts food sustains the system longer than any other food. The fact that It Is thor oughly cooked and ready for Immediate serving is of great value, especially when one Is In a hurry. Please do not publish my name."
