Sympathetic.
Among our clrclo of friends thoro
was a vory warm supportor of tho
S. P. C. A. who though earnest and
sincere sometimes bored by overzoal.
Wo flet trnps to load her Into nn ad-
mission of tho evil in nuimnl naturo
but sho always managed to mako out
a good caso for her dumb friends.
Ono day wo felt that wo at least had
a caso in which she could have no pos
slblo sympathy for tho nnlmal. It
was a dreadful story published in a
nowspaper of a baby who had boon lit-
erally eaten alivo by a largo and
forocious cat. Wo gavo her tho clip-
ping and watched with satisfaction tho
tears gather in her eyes as eho read.
"Wo'ro got her now I" wo murmured
triumphantly. Finally sho looked up
and wo all hold our breath to listen
to her comment. Sho spoko in heart
broken tones. "Think!" sho said "how
hungry tho poor cat must havo been!"

31 Boxes of Gold
300 Boxes of Greenbacks
For the most words made
up from these letters
Y - I - O - Grape-Nuts
331 people will earn these prizes
' Around tho fireside or nbout tho
well-lighted family reading tablo dur-
ing tho winter evenings the children
nnd grown-ups can play with their
wits and seo how many words can be
made.
20 people making the greatest num-
bor of words will each receive a little
box containing a 10.00 gold piece.
10 people will each win one box con-
taining a $5.00 gold piece.
300 people will each win a box con-
taining $1.00 In paper money and one
porson who makes the highest number
of words over all contestants will re-
colvo a box containing $100.00 In gold.
It Is roally n most fascinating bit of
fun to tako up the list evening after
evening and see how many words can
bo added.
A few rules are necessary for abso-
lute fnlr play.
Any word authorized by Webster's
dictionary will be counted but no
name of person. Both tho singular
nnd plural can bo used as for Instance
"grapo" and "grapes."
Tho letters In "Y-I-O-Grape-Nuts"
may bo repeated In the same word.
Geographical names authorized by
Webster will be counted.
Arrange the words In alphabetical
classes all those beginning with A to-
gether and those beginning with E to
come under E. etc.
When you are writing down the
words leave some spaces in the A E
nnd other columns to fill in later as
now words come to you for they will
spring into mind every evening.
It is almost certain that some con-
testants will tie with others. In such
cases a prlzo Identical In value and
character with that offered In that
class shall be awarded to each. Each
one will be requested to send with the
list of words a plainly written letter
describing tho advantages of Grape-
(Nuts but the contestant Is not re-
quired to purchase a pkg. These let-
ters are not to contain poetry or fancy
flourishes but simple truthful state-
ments of fact. For Illustration: A
iperson may havo experienced some
Incipient or .chronic alls traceable to
tinwiso selection of food that failed to
give the body and brain the energy
health and power desired. Seeking
better conditions a change In food is
made and Grape-Nuts and cream used
in place of the former diet. Suppose
ono quits the meat fried potatoes
starchy sticky messes of half-cooked
oats or wheat and cuts out the coffee.
.Try say for breakfast a bit of fruit a
dish of Grape-Nuts and cream two
soft-boiled eggs a slice of hard toast
and a cup of Postum Food Coffee.
Some amateur says: "A man would
taint away on that" but ray dear
friend we will put dollars to your pen
No Hope for Him There.
The "old man" addressed tho fol-
lowing letter to his son who was
about to stand a civil-sorvicc examlna
tion for a government position:
"Dear Bill: It ain't a bit o uso o
you goin up agin that civil-servico
business in my opinion it's a one-
sided affair altogethor. Why they'll
turn you down if you don't know
'rithmotlc an' they'll even rule you
out if you're a leetlo short on g'ogra-
phy an' spellln'! Tako my advico an'
stick to your trade of lawyer beforo
a Jury of yer poors an when that fails
you kin go to teachin' school." Atlan-
ta Constitution.
Beginning to Doubt.
"Sometimes" said Undo Jerry Pee-
bles "when I see these stories about
graftln' in high places I begin to think
by gun that there ain't any such thing
as honor even among thieves."
nies that the noon hour will find a
man on our breakfast huskier and
with a stronger heart-beat and clearer
working brain than he ever had on
tho old diet.
Suppose If you have never really
made a move for absolutely clean
health that pushes you along each day
with a spring In your step and a re-
servo vigor in muscle and brain that
makes the doing of things a pleasure
you join the army of "plain old com-
mon sens'" and start In now. Then
after you have been 2 or 3 weeks on
the Grape-Nuts training you write a
statement of how you used to bo and
how you are now. The simple facts
will Interest others and surprise your-
self. We never publish names except
on permission but we 'jften tell the
facts In the newspapers and when
requested give the names by private
letter.
There Is plenty of time to get per-
sonal experience with Grape-Nuts and
write a sensible truthful letter to be
sent In with the list of words as the
contest does not close until April 30th
1906. So start in as soon as you like
to building words and start In using
Grape-Nuts. Cut this statement out
and keep the letters Y-I-O-Grape-Nuts
before you and when you write your
letter you will have some reason to
write on the subject "Why I Owe
Grape-Nuts."
Remember 331 persons will win
prjzes which will be awarded in an
exact and just manner as soon as the
list can be counted after April 30th
1906. Every contestant will be sent a
printed list of names and addresses of
winners on application in order to
have proof that the prizes are sent as
acreed. The company is well known
all over the world for absolute fidelity
to Its ncreeraents and every single one
of the 331 winners may depend on re-
ceiving the prize won.
Many persons might feel it useless
to contest but when one remembers
the great number of prizes (331)
the curiosity of seeing how many
words can really be made up evening
after evening an I the good natural
fun and education in the competition.
It seems worth the trial; there is no
cost nothing to lose and a fine oppor-
tunity to win one of the many boxes
of gold or greenbacks.
We make the prediction that some
who win a prize of gold or greenbacks
will also win back health and strength
worth more to them than a wagon full
of money prizes.
There are no preliminaries cut out
this statement and go at it and send
in the list and letter before April 30th
1906 to Postum Cereal Co. Ltd. Bat-
tle Creek Mich. and let your name
and address be plainly written. . .
WILL STOP SALE
OF BOOZ DRINKS
Efforts to Oust "Uno" from the
Indian Territory.
TEST CASE NOW BEFORE COURT
Officers Back Their Position on
Similar Cases Tried Before
Ex-Judge Raymond
Muskogee I. T. It is becoming
more apparent each day that tho
question of whether "Uno" shall be
sold In tho Western district of the
Indian Territory is to causo trouble.
Many complicated situations are
arising nnd the chances are that a
departmental or congressional In-
vestigation will be ordered to show
why the sale of "Uno" is allowed in
the Northern and Southern districts
and prohibited in the Western dis-
trict. One cf the complications that
arises Is found in tho civil suit
brought by Soper Owen & Huckleberry-
for Mickey McFarland against
District Attorney Mellotte Marshal
Bennett and "Bud" Ledbetter. Soper
is an assistant district attorney un-
der Mellette for special service. Yet
he must in this case prosecute the
principal attorney for the govern-
ment in the prosecution of the
"Uno" cases.
It looks as if the determined stand
of the federal officers' in this district
is going to stop the sale of "Uno."
At least they have closed up the
places where it was sold nnd there
has been no effort to open them.
District Attorney Mellette and Mar-
shal Bennett point to the decisions
of ex-Judge Raymond and to the
convictions that were secured under
his administration. .These decisions
stand as the law so far. If this is
the law in the Western district it is
quite probable that the department
of justice the department of the in-
terior and possibly congress will
want to know why "Uno" Is allowed
sold in the other districts.
This situation possibly would not
have arisen had not an effort been
made to force the sale of "Uno" n
this district. This has brought into
prominence the fact that it is being
sold openly In tbe other districts
and called attention to the fact that
it cannot be sold In the Western dis-
trict. There was a conference be-
tween Marshal Darrough and Mar-
shal Bennett In this city the other
day in which the former admitted
that it seemed impossible to stop
the sale in tho Northern district.

Many and diverse are the languages
spoken at Reval the Russian city on
the Baltic. A writer tells how ho one

square of the little town and found
drowsy drivers who spoke as their

OVER SEA HABIT
Difference on This Side the Water.
The persistent effect upon the heart
of caffeine in coffee cannot but re-
sult in the gravest conditions in time.
Each attack of the drug (and that
means each cup of coffee) weakens
the organ a little more and the end
is almost a matter of mathematical
demonstration. A lady writes from
a Western state:
"I am of German descent and it
was natural that I should learn at a
very early age to drink coffee. Until
I was 23 years old I drank scarcely
anything else at my meals.
"A few years ago I began to be af-
fected by a steadily Increasing nerv-
ousness which eventually developed
into a distressing heart trouble that
made me very weak and miserable.
Then some three years ago was add-
ed asthma In Its worst form. My
sufferings from theso things can be
better Imagined than described.
"During all this time my husband
realized more fully than I did that cof-
fee was Injurious to me and made ev-
ery effort to make me stop.
"Finally it was decided a few
months ago to quit the use of coffee
absolutely and to adopt Postum Food
Coffee as our hot table drink. I had
but little idea that it would help me
but consented to try it to please my
husband. I prepared it very carefully
exactly according to directions and
was delighted with its delicious flav-
or and refreshing qualities.
"Just as soon as the poison from
the coffee had time to get out of my
system the nutritive ; operties of tho
Postum begi to build me up and I
am now fully recovered from all my
nervousness heart trouble and asth-
ma. I gladly acknowledge that now
for the first ume in years I enjoy
perfect health and that I owe It all
to Postum." Name given by Postum
Co. Battle Creek Mich.
There's a reason. Read the little
book "The Road to Wellvllle" in
pkgs.
Postum Food Coffee contains no
drugs of any description whatsoever.
