Man and Wife Fatteii on Grape-Nut.
The notion that meat Is necessary
for real Urength and the foundation
of solid flesh is now dj longer as
prevalent as formerly.
Excessive meat eaters are usually
sluggish a part of the time because
they are not able to fully digest their
food, and the undigested portion Is
changed Into what Is practically a
kind of poison that acts upou the
blood and nerves, thus getting all
through the system.
"i was a heavy meat eater," writes
an Ills, man, "and up to two years
ago, was In very poor health. I suf
fered with Indigestion so that 1 only
weighed 95 pounds.
"Then I beard about drape-Nuts
and decided to try It. My wife
laughed at iue at first but when I
gained to 125 pounds and felt so Oct,
she thought she would eat Grape
Nuts too.
"Now she h fat and well and has
gained 40 pounds. We nsver have in
digestion any more and seldom feel
the desire for meat. A neighbor of
ours, 68 years old, was troubled with
indigestion for years; was a heavy
meat, eater, and now since he has
been eating Grape-Nuts regularly, he
ays he is well and never has indi

THOUSANDS GO BACK TO WORkT
GENERAL REViVAL OF CONFIDENCE
Industries Shut Down During financial Hurry Kmnmr Railroads Are
He-employing Men They Discharged and Mills Are Reopening.
New York City. According to dispatches from various sections of the
country many hundreds of workmen laid off In the height of the recent
panic have returned to their jobs. These reports of a resumption ot pro
ductive activity are piling up steadily, and although the movement Is neces
sarily a gradual one It offers unmistakable evidence that the late depression
und curtailment of production arc passing and that business confldnce Is
returning with a rush.
In the East the most significant news comes front the New England
mills, where many plnnts were closed clown recently, and the remaining
mills had almost all curtailed production. The three shoo factories of the
Rice & llutchins Company, nt Marlboro, Mass., which have been running
on half-time for three weeks, open up at full time, with their entlro force
of 2200 hands at work. The American Woolen Company in MOOanp, Conn.,
also resumes full lime, as do also the Madison Woolen Company, at Madi
son, Me., the Apsley Rubber Works, at Hudson, Mass., and the K. & T.
Fairbanks Company at St. Johns'oury, Vt,
The cotton mills at Dover, N. H.; at Blddeford, Me.; at North Adams,
Mass., Anthony, R. I., and Manville, R. I., which have been closed ' r sev
eral days, have opened up. The New England Cotton Company's mills at
Fall River also lesumo work. In many sections of New England, :.otably
at Pawtuxet, R. I., and In the Blckstono Valley section, between Worces
ter, Mbbs., and Pawtuxet, there has been no curtailment of output what
ever. The operatives at those places, numbering between 20,000 and 30,
000, have all been working at. full time, and It Is said any possibility of
curtailment, which haB been threatening lins now bean removed.
Outside of New England there is also abundant evidence of stoadlly
returning confidence and a general revival of business. Tho Valley Iron
Works and tho Brown-Bonnell mill, at Youngstown, Pa., which are proper
ties of the Republic Iron nnel Steel Company, have already reopened with
their full working force. A general resumption of work at tho other
Youngstown plants Is announced to take place in the course of the week.
From Baltimore, Md., Cohoes, N. Y., and Rochester, N. Y., also come reas
suring reports. The Standard Stesl Car Company, at. Newcastle, Pa., has
reopened, as have also certain of the plants of the Illinois Steel Company
and tho plant of the Natlonal'Tube Company, at Syracuse, N. Y.
At West Carrollton, O., the Friend Paper Mills open up after a shut
down of several weeks, with 1B0O employes. Tho National Cash Register
Company, at Dayton, O.. reports that several hundred employes, recently
laid off, will resume work.
A striking and significant sign of tho returning confidence in the Far
West Is to be found in tho wholesale resumption of construction work aiong
the Harrimau railroads. The work was stopped short when tho money
panic became serious, but this week eeen the revival of tho entire scries of
projects, involving the re-employment of several thousands of workmen.
The Lane Cutoff, near Omaha, the construction of the line between
Portland and Seattle and the rebuilding of the Coast line between I.os
Angeles and San Francisco, are among the works affected. Orders for
equipment have also been entered on an extensive scale. Twenty-five loco
motives for the Mountain divisions and 1500 prSMCd utcol cars are among
the I'uion Pacific's orders.
Another centre of reviving activity Is St. Louis, Mo., where the Ter
minal Railroad Association has a $12,000,000 improvement projected.
Work was postponed Indefinitely, according to a recent decision of the offi
cers, but win now bo returned and rushed to a speedy completion, It is an
nounced. Tho Illinois Traction system Is alBo continuing its construction
work at St. Louis, involving an expenditure of $5,500,000.
The general revival of confldenco ueems to havo commenced beyond
question. The disappearing premium on currency is one factor which adds
materially in the improvement of the outlook. It seems srfe to say, In
view of the dispatches, that with a promise of conservative action by Coi -gress,
tho business of the country will gradually return to the prosperon:'
condition in which it was prior to tll'o late financial flurry.
In this connection It has been declared that cancellations of orders to
factories by some jobbers and wholesalers of dry goods, particularly in New
York City, gave false appearance to the general situation. Certain cancel
lations, it is said, were due to a desire to get lower prices. Orders to
factories had been given in the height of prosperity when prices were high.
Then the Jobbers saw a chance to beat their contracts by recalling orders
and giving new ones at bottom figures. But some of them, ashamed at
taking this advantage, have changed their minds und will accept goods at
the prices promised.
The facts of the general situation, anyway, provo that there were not
so many workmen laid off as was believed. For instance, all the railroads
enteriug Chicago, the greatest railway centre in the country, dismissed
30,000 men. They employ, probably, forty times that many. All tho
other railroads of tho country, as far as can be learned, dismissed only
14,000, and that figure includes the 8000 let out by tho Union Pacific.
But there is tho strongest Indication that theso nun must, go back to
work soon. Strange to say, while the roads were dropping their men their
business wa3 growing. Ic is an actual fact that the gross earnings last
week of tho railroads entering Chicago thowed a largo increase. It is tho
belief of tho traffic men that a like increase will be shown this weak.
Though the two great trunk lines of the East theNew York Central
and the Pennsylvania have laid off thousands of men, the Chicago situa
tion makeB It evident that these men must go back to work. Increased
gross earnings of the roads entering Chicago must later mean like in
creases for the lines east from tho lakes; for traffic is continuous, and
Chicago is not the terminal for all the goods hauled there.
The business men of all tho smaller cities of tho East surrounding
the metropolis ure convinced that the threatened hard times will not
materialize, and they have gone back or nro preparing to go back to u
normal basis.
