TERRIBLE SCALP HUMOR.

"All my life 1 had been troubled more
or leee with humor in my scalp, but about
a year ago it became worae. and my icalp
was covered with little aoreg, which
itched to it nearly made me crazy; my
hair also began to get dry and fall out. 1
tried all kind, of hair rentorers with no
effect, and I waa nearly discouraged, but
one day I waa reading in a paper what
the Cuticura Kemediea had dona for acalp
diaeasea, and decided to make a trial. 1
got a cake of Cuticura Soap, a box of Cu
ticura Ointment and Cuticura Resolvent
Pills. I used them according to direc
tions, and aoon noticed difference; tho
tiny sores on my acalp began to heal, the
itching stopped, and my hair began to
grow thick. I have' used only the one
cake of Cuticura Soap, one box of Oint
ment and one vial of Fills, and now I
have no humor on my scalp and my hair
is soft and silky. Miss Maytie C. Atkins,

A "Snperinarlne" Boat.
A novel' form of high-speed boat has
recently been devised by a French en
gineer, M. de Lambert, which involves
a radical departure from all previous
designs of hull. It is termed a "skat
ing," or "supQi'marine," boat, for It ia
constructed to gllile along the surface
of the water rather than experience
resistance by being Immersed and pass
ing through. This is accomplished by
means of five inclined planes which
are fixed on tho the bottom of the hull,
and which, when the boat is at rest,
are a few inches in the watt'f. 'When
the engine is started the hull is raised,
so that the boat runs with less re
sistance on tho inclined planes, which
then rest on a mixture of air and
water.
With a twelve horse power petroleum
motor it is reported that a spied of
from twenty-six to twenty-eight knots
an hour can be made, a rate not always
attained by motor-boats with eighty
horse-power engines. The new boat
is nlso capable of being handled with
considerable facility and stopped read
ily. Tho attainment of high speed by
motor-boats which run on the surface
of the water, rather than through it,
has attracted some attention lately,
and an English high-speed boat whs
built where this idea was considered in
designing the hull, but the use of the
inclined planes to diminish the resist
ance as carried out is finite novel, and
will doubtless he tried furtherHar

COMMERCIAL
R. G.. Dun St Ca'i "Weekly Review
of Trade" says:
Opening of Spring trade is not prccep
tibly retarded by the partial interruption
to coal mining, exctpt in the immed
iate vicinity of tho anthracite mines.
High temperature not oniy broadens the
demand for seasonable merchandise,
but stimulates agricultural operations,
reopens northern navigation and starts
many contemplated building operations.
Were it not for a few labor controversies,
the commercial horizen would be cloud
less. I'ht some manufacturing plants will
be compelled to suspend if the fuel Atipply
is cut off, and structural work is inter
rupted by demands for higher wages in
certain localities.
That the year toxtf) started .out to
eclipse all records is evidenced by bank
exchange, 18 per cent, larger than in the
first quarter of the previous prosperous
year, while liabilities of commercial fail
ures averaged only 8i cents to each tooo
of solvent payments through the clearing
houses, winch is the lowest commercial
death rate for the first three months of
any year.
Prfjrcss in the iron and steel industry
has not suffered as yet from the partial
suspension of coal mining, and new busi
ness comes forward each week in great
volume. Latest developments arc mort
pronounced in the structural steel divis
ion. Bradstrcet says :

SECOND PASTURE.
Editors of "Trade" papers known
as grocers' papers.
Remember, we don't put the brand
on all, by uny meaus. Only those
that require it. These members of
the tribe have demanded that we
carry advertising lu their pupers
and when we do not consider it ad
visable they institute a cumpuigu
of vituperation and slander, printing
from time to time manufactured
slurs on Postum or Grape-Nuts.
When they go far enough we set
our legal force at work and tolu
them to the Judge to answer. If
the pace has bceu hot enough to
throw some of these "cattle" over on
their backs, feet tied and "bellow
ing," do you think we should be
blamed? They gambol arouud with
tails held high and jump stiff leg
ged with a very "cocky" air while
they have full range, but when the
rope Is thrown over them "It's dif
ferent." Should we untie thorn beenns
they bloat soft and low? Or should
we put the Iron on, so that people
will know the brand?
Let's keep thorn In tills pasture,
anyhow.
"THere's a Reason

Plants That Throw Off Heat.
It appears that many plants throw
off heat. ' A remarkable Instance Is of
fered by the Alpine Boldanella. Its
flowers actually bore, or rather melt,
their way through the hard snow
Sometimes, Indeed, the flower opens
before It reaches tbe surface, so that
it actually blooms In a little hole in
the snow. Usually, however, It reaches
the surface and hangs out Its pretty
violet bells above the snow, looking
as if stuck into It. Growing through
the snow Is due to the heat developed
by the vegetative process.
Wedding Finery Hard to Find.
Some of the women of Norway, Me.,
recently participated In a wedding
gown party. All present wore wed
ding finery of some sort. A pair of
gloves was all that one woman could
muster of her one-time trousseau. An
other had a pair of gownlcss sleeves,
whllo still another could only find tho
yoke of a waist of thirty years ngo.
One shrewd matron borrowed an outfit
from a recent bride, thus meeting the
conditions.

THIRD PASTURE.
Now we come to a frisky lot, tho
'Labor Vnlon" editors. You know
down in Texas a weed called "Loco"
Is sometimes eaten by a steer and
produces a derangement of the
brain that makes tho steer "batty"
or crazy. Many of these editors
are "Locoed" from hate of anyone
who will not Instantly obey the
"demands" of a iabor union, nnd It
Is tbe universal habit of such writ
ers to go straight into n system of
personal vilification, manufacturing
any sort of falsehood through which
to vent their spleen. We assort that
the common citizen has a right to
live and breathe air without asking
permission of the lubor trust, nnd
this has brought down on us the
hate of these editors. When they
go far enough with their libels, is It
harsh for us to get Judgniont ngalnst
them and have our lawyers watch
for n chance to attach money due
them from others? (For they are
usually irresponsible).
Keep your eyo out for the "Lo
coed" editor.
Now let all these choice specimens
take notice:
We will deposit one thousand or
fifty thousand dollars to be covered by
a fiUe amount from them, or any one of
them, and if there was ever one ounce
of old bread or any other ingredient
different than our selected wheat and
barley with 11 little suit and yeast used
I In the making of Grape-Nuts, we will
lose the money.
Our pure food factories are open at
nil times to visitors, and thousands
puss through each month, lnsecting
every department and every process.
Our factories are so clean that one
could, with good relish, eat u meal
from the floors.
The work people, both men ond wo
men, are of the highest grade in the
State of Michigan, and according to the
State labor reports, are the highest puld
lu the State for slmllur work.
Let us tell you exactly what you will
see when you inspect the manufacture
of Grape-Nuts. You will find tremen
dous elevators containing the choicest
wheat and barley possible to buy.
These grains ore curried through long
conveyors to grinding mills, and there
converted into Hour. Then the uiu
chlnes make selection of the proper
quantities of this flour in tbe proper
proportion and these parts are blended
into a general flour which passes over
to the big dough mixing muchiues, there
water, salt and a little j cast are added
and the dough kneaded the proper
length of time.
Remember that previous to the bar
ley having been ground it wus passed
through about one hundred hours of
soaking in water, then placed on warm
floors and slightly sprouted, developing
the diastase in tbe burley, which
changes the starch in the grain into a
form of sugar.
Now after we have p.issod it Into
dough uiid It has been kneaded long
enough, it is moulded by machinery
Into loaves ubout 18 inches long and &
or 0 inches iu diameter. It is put into
this shape for convenience in second
cooking.
These greut loaves are sliced by ma
chinery and the slices pluced on wire
trays, these trays, in turn, pluced ou
great steel trucis, uiid rolled into tbe
secondary ovens, euch perhups 75 or 80
feet long. There tbe food is subjected
to a long, low heat and the starch
which has not been heretofore trans
formed, is turned into a form of sugar
generally known as Post Sugar. It cun
be seen glistening on the granules of
Grape-Nuts If held towurd tbe light,
und this sugar Is not poured over or
put on the food as these prevaricators
Ignoruutly assert. Ou tbe contrary the
sugar exudes from the Interior of each
little granule during the process of
manufacture, and reminds one of the
little white particles of sugar that come
out on tbe end of a hickory log after
it has been suwed off and allowed to
stand for a length of time.
This Post Sugar Is the most dlgesti-
ble fond known for human use. It is
so perfect in its adaptability that moth
ers with very young infants will pour
a little warm milk over two or three
spoonfuls of Grape-Nuts, thus washing
the sugar off from the granules and
carrying it with tbe milk to tbe bottom

Sues Bar Association.
Mathew E. O'Brien of Bridgeport,
Conn., Is making an effort to force the
bar association of bis county to admit
him to practice, or show cause why be

passed his examinations, but the bar
association declined to admit him to
membership. He proposes to force the

of the dish. Then this milk charged
with Post Sugar Is fed to the Infants,
producing the most satisfactory results,
for t lie baby has food thnt It can digest
quickly and will go off to sleep well fed
and contented.
When baby gets two or three months
old It is the custom of some mothers to
allow the (Jrupe-Nuts to soak in the
milk a little longer and become mushy,
whereupon a little of the food can be
fed In addition to the milk containing
the washed off sugnr.
It Is by no means manufactured for a
baby food, but these facts ore stated as

college In the land.
We quote from the London Lancet
analysis as follows:
"The basis of nomenclature of this
preparation Is evidently an American
pleasantry, since 'Grape-Nuts' is de
rived solely from cereals. The prepara
tory process undoubtedly converts the
food constituents Into a much more di
gestible condition than In tbe raw
cereal. This Is evident from the re
markable solubility of the preparation.
110 lexs than one-half of it beinir soluble
in cold water. 'J e soluble part con
tains chiefly dextrin and no starch. In
appearance "Grape-Nuts' resembles
fried breud-crumbs. The grains are
brown and crisp, with a pleasant taste
not unlike slightly burnt malt. Accord
ing to our analysis the following Is the
composition of 'Grape-Nuts:' Moist
ure. 0.02 per cent.; mineral matter, 2.01
per cent.; fat, 1.00 per cent.; protelds,
13.00 per cent.; soluble carbohydrates,
etc., 4K.-10 per ceut.; and unaltered
carbohydrates (Insoluble), 25.07 per
cent. The features worthy of note In
this analysis are the excellent propor
tion of proteld, mineral matters, and
soluble carbohydrates per cent. The
mineral matter was rich In phosphoric
odd. 'Grape-Nuts' is described as a
brain and nerve food, whatever that
may be. Our analysis, at any rate,
shows that It Is a nutritive of a high
order, since It contains the constituents
of a complete food In very satisfactory
and rich proportion and In au easily as
similable state."
An analysis made by the Canadian
Government some time ago shows that
Grape-Nuts contains nearly ten times
the digestible elements contained In or
dinary eereuls, and foods, and nearly
twice the amount contained In any
other food analyzed.
The analysis Is familiar to practically
every successful physician In America
and London.
We print this statement In order that
the public may know the exact facts
iion which we stake our honor and
will back It with any amount of money
that any person or corporation will
put up.
We propose to follow some of these
choice specimens of tbe tribe of Ana
nias. When you hear a cooking school
teacher or any other person assert that
either Postum or Grape-Nuts are made
of any other ingredients tbau those
printed on the packages and as we
say they are made, send us tbe name
and address, also name of two or three
w trusses, and If the evidence is clear
enough to get a Judgment we will right
that wrong quickly.
Our business bus always been con
ducted ou as high a grade of human in
telligence as we are capable of, and we
propose to clear the deck of theso pre
varicators and liars whenever and
wherever they can be found.
Attention is again called to the gen
eral and broad invitation to visitors to
go through our works, where they will
be showu the most minute process and
device In order that they may under
stand bow pure and clean and whole
some Grape-Nuts and Postum are.
There is an old saying among busi
ness men that there is some chunce to
truln a fool, but there is no room for a
liar, for you never can tell where you
are, and we hereby serve notice ou all
tbe members of this ancient tribe of
Anantaa that they may follow their
calling In other lines, but when they
put forth their lies about Grape-Nuts
and Postum, we propose to give them
au opportunity to answer to the proper
authorities.
