Gontlnuance of the Struggle Means Ruin to Free Staters. Bloemfontein, Feb. 5.��� (Tuesday.) ���The text of a portion of the letter from Piat Dewet, chairman of the peace commission, to his brother Christian Dewet appealing to the latter to surrender, published in the Post today is as follows: Dear Brother���I hear that you are so angry that you have decided to kill roe, accusing me of high treason. May God not allow you opportunity to shed more innocent blood. When I Baw we were beaten by the liritish, I wrote to the president requesting him to consider terms of pence, and rather to surrender than to ruin the country and starve the people. I was with you afterwards for a month, convincing me that it was better to lay down our arms. 1 did my duty at the battle at Chietmu with l'rinsloo, and charged the guns when I was shamefully left in the lurch by Froneman who fled. Convinced that the struggle was hopeless I left my Btaff and surrendered and was sent to Durban. You and Steyu in carrying on guerrilla warfare caused me to write to Kitchener on November IX, requesting an opportunity to come to the state and persuade the men to lay down their arms. There is no Free State government against whom I could commit treason. Whicli Is better for the republics, to continue to struggle at the risk of total ruination ns a nation, or to submit? Could wo thi*i]t of taking back the country if it were offered us, with thousands of people to be supported by a government that has not a farthing but a debt of live or six millions, even If helped by you? Do you think any nation so mad us to have thou sands killed and spend millions and then give us the republics and the necessary capital to govern them? Put passonlate feeling asirte for a moment and use common sense, and you will then agree that the best thing for the people and country is to give in, be loyal to the new government and try to get lesponsible government and as soon as the finances will allow of us doing so, govern the country virtually ourselves, bave our children properly educated and save the people as a nation, should the war continue a lew months longer tbe nation will become so poor that it will become a working class and disappear as a nation. I have heard that yon and others aconsu me of being paid by the English government for what I am doing. I can only answer that there is a Uod and He will pass ifgHteous sentence. 1 have also beard that Kitchener's offers to me und other attempts ure considered by you as signs of weakness on the part of the British. When you cornered fifty soldiers ut llliiawn bank, did the same to four hundred at Norstorshuok and surrounded a small patrol at Khenoster river, under a Hug of truce und asked them to surrender, wub it weakness or magnanimity on yoiu- part? The British ure convinced that tbey have conqueied the land and the people, and they consldei the matter ended, and are only trying to treat those continuing the struggle magnanimously In order to prevent unnecessary bloodshed. Believe me when I tell you that no troops are sent to England, but thousands ure still coming to South Africa. If you do not consider the Free State von will be insensible and not sensible burghers. Are you blind? Can you nut see that you are being deceived by the Transvaal generals? What ure they doing? They do not fight one tenth part as much us we do. The Transvaal is not as much ruined as the Free State. They arc Inclined to submit, and are only waiting to see what you are going to do. Thu moment yon surrender, fall or are captured, they will surrender. I pray you again to consider, before you proceed further. DEWET IN RETREAT. London, Feb. 10.���The Weekly Despatch states it hus good grounds for saying that information is being re- calved In an authoritative quarter In London thut Commandant Dcwut late on Friday attempted to escape along the Smlthflcld-llethulie road, but was foiled by a strong body of scouts. Subsequently Knox intercepted the movement, whereupon Dewet retreated and wus forced over the llasutuland border. About that second hand article of yours.

Capetown, Feb. !>.���General French has occupied Ermelo in the Transvaal. Sis thousand Boers retired. Thu Boers violently attacked Smith Dor- The good ship Valhalla was launched successfully at the 0. P. K. ship- i yards yesterday afternoon in the pres ! euce of 250 spectators. The event came oft without a hitch and the spectacle proved decidedly interesting. The Valhalla now floats in her natural element and within a comparatively short time will take her place at the head of the C. P. R. towing fleet, a position she promises to fill i with profit to the company and credit to her designers and builders. | The launching was announced for 2 'o'cluck and came off within a few minutes of the scheduled Hour. Tbe time-honored custom of breaking a i bottle of wine over her prow was ob- I served nnd a salvo of cheers followed the boat as she moved gracefully into I the water. Quite 250 people gathered ' at the shipyards before 2 o'clock and I tbe majority of tbem inspected the I craft as she stood on the ways in all ' the glory of fresh paint and clean 1 woodwork. The Valhalla certainly ' made a Striking picture. From tbe 1 top of her funnel to the ground wus i fully 30 feet and the lines of her hull I stood out strongly, elevated as the I boat was from the ground. The I hull was a blaze of red to a point within a couple of feet of the rail above which the exterior was finished in white. Flags floated from stem and stern, the ensemble eliciting hearty admiration from those present. Shortly before 2 o'clock the steamer Koka- nee came down from the city wharf with Commodore and Mrs. Gore and a party of friends. At 1140 foreman Bulger marshalled his men with sledges alongside the boat and at a signal the crew started to drive the weilges which shifted the weight of the craft to tbe cradle resting on the ways. The next step was to knock away the blocks and releuse the boat. Everything worked smoothly and at 2:13 o'clock the last support came away, "She's off," was the cry from the crowd aboard tho boat us the first tremor became perceptible and the cry wus taken up by those ashore. Slowly the great hull started lake- wurds on the thoroughly greased ways. The Kokaiiee released her deep-toned whistle and a freight locomotive passing answored with u shrill ear-splitting whistle. Tho crowd cheered lustily us tho Valhalla slid into the lake raising an enormous wave. The stern sunk deep into the water nnd then enmc up as tlu prow came ofl' the ways. The cradle which had cairled the craft down tbo ways became detached and was quickly broken up In the swirling water. When the boat entered she waslnelln Ing to one side, but quickly righted herself and floated ont to the center of the channel, moving downstream with the current. Mrs. Commodore Gore hud the distinction of christening the tug. As the vessel flouted In the water she broke a quart bottle of Pom- mcry ovei the prow and announced "I name thee Valhalla," whoreat tho crowd cheered again. The boat ran out a hundred yards or so snapping a two-Inch hawser as though it had been a thread. Then the Kokanee put out after her and brought the Valhalla into the ship yards, landing where Bhe will be tied for a few days while receiving finishing touches. The Valhalla requires paint und varnish in places after which she will be ready to go Into commission. A weeb'8 work will equip her for service, If lieccsBiu-y, although It Is likely that she will not be used at so curly a date. CRANK LIONIZED. Des Moines, In., Feb. 0.���Mrs. Nu Don's tour through the western part of the state today took on a new feature and wus In the sense of a triumphal journey lor the little Kansas saloon smasher. She made a dozen addresses from the platform of a Rock Island passenger train in the towns she passed through to come to Dcs Moines to deliver a lecture. I BRITAIN NOW IS STRONGER International Politics as Seen Under Present Conditions. Actions of Kaiser Criticized Edward Popular With the Sailors. London view of Feb. 9.���A comprehensive the international situation reveals only improved prospects continued peace and harmony. From the British standpoint, Queen Victoria's death appears to have strengthened, rather than weakened Great Britain's position among the nations. A sufficient time has elapsed since Victoria ceased to reign for the foreign olliee to feel the political pulse of the capitals of Europe, and the briefest examination, commenced in no spirit of cocksureness, resulted in a feeling of aafe security at Downing street. The foremost factor in this, naturally, iB Emperor William's attitude. Responsible officials here make no attempt to conceal their elation at the circumstances attendant on His Majesty's visit. They do not shut their eyes to the dissatisfaction the emperor has caused among certain sections of his own subjects, but rely implicitly on the imperious force of Germany's ruler to successfully overcome the internal objections engendered. Closer relations undoubtedly now exist between Great Britain and Germany. Lord Salisbury and Lord Lansdowne ure quite prepared to bear Count von Kuelow (the Imperial chancellor) satrically belittle tbe effect of Emperor William's visii, but in Downing street this will be taken as meant puiely for home jonsuuiptlou, and as merely more evidence of the siklful band of the emperor. The alliance between Great Britain and Portugal scarcely needed the visit of King Charles to render it stronger. Vet the continued stay here of that ruler is believed to be likely to bring the peoples of Portugal and Great Britain in closer touch thus rendering easier the work of their lespective governments. So far as the diplomatic phase goes, the Associated Press is officially informed that nothing new has resulted from the King of Portugal's stay in England. The mutual responsibilities in connection with Delagoa Bay were too well understood previously to need further discussion. Thus Portugal, England and Germany are believed to be more closely united than ever in their history, united by a compact, that In the opinion of leading British statesmen, is stronger even than the Dreibund, which is yearly becoming more of a tradition than a working agreement. The only feature of the recent inter- notional happenings regretted at Downing street, Is the emperor's dee- oration of Field Marshal Lord Robot ts with the Order of the Black Bogle, It Is thought Ills Majesty went almost too far in view of the hostile comments the German press is In the habit of showering on Great Britain's Soulii African generals. "Still,' say the officials, "Emperor William nevei doos things by halves." Neither in China, nor in other parts of tho world do Russia and France, In the foreign office's view, give any Indication of counter action ugulnsl this activity of British diplomacy. Lord Salisbury Is said to rely on Emperor William to keep In touch and harmony with the czar. So long as this is feasible France is not expected to take any serious initiative. Moreover, according to dispatches In the British press French Anglophoblsm seems to have abated since the Queen's death. Austria und Italy ure put down us suro to do nothing contrury to Emperor William's wish. It is easily seen thnt Emperor William Ib now the dominating figure In European affairs. To this Great Britain has no objection. She hns made it possible and trusts to benefit by It. Relationship between the reigning families of Europe Is not held to be of much account in the chuneeiler- ieB, but bo far as it goes, It Is believed King Edward VII'b personality will tend to Improve Its degree of potency. More Important to some cabinet ministers tbun the European situation, Is tho belief that u solution of the Nicaragua", cunnl dispute enn be arrived ut without the slightest friction. With the exception of China, this wus the only serious cloud on Great Britain's diplomatic horizon previous to the Queen's death. Now It Is hoped It will disappear. The exclusive announcement hy the Associated Press yesterday that Great Uilt- aln Ib about to make a counter proposition to the United States on the bus- Is of the United States amendments to the Hay-Paunoefote treaty wbich are likely to necessitate extended negotia lions, not a word of which Is known in England, may ho safely described us a pound of Salisbury and an ounce of Lansdowne. The ugeil premier's foreign policy has been somewhnt justly defined as a mixture of mica witb bearlsm nnd fatalism. Lord Lansdowne Is said to bave taken up a' yon, rather aggressive standpoint, insisting on the observance of the ethics ol treaties, but the Sume spirit of compromise which it is hoped will be shown by the United States prevailed within the British cabinet, Lord Salisbury ae usual gaining his point. . Whether the cabinet iB unduly optimistic in thinking the United States will consider or agree to the counter propositions, time alone will show. As a foreign office official said, "Nothing is ever settled by one despatch." , Simultanously with the accession of King Edward (whom incidentally golfers refer to as the first sovereign who has played golf since .fames II.) the waters of the Nile hove been turned buck. Sir John Aird cabled this week, "The last channel has been closed at Assuan. You can now walk across the Nile." This will solve the problem of supplying corn in Efypt. The excellent piece of dam construction will have to withstand a severe strain when the Nile rises with the next floods. Another American was accorded for I what is considered to be a high honot in England, when Mr. Edwin A. Ab bey wus elected a member of the Athenaeum club, ufider the provisions of the rule empowering the annual election of persons of distinguished eminence in science, literature and the arts. In the above connection, it is interesting to note that two celebrated Van Dyck portraits sold at the Peel auction in 1000 for 24,250 guineas have been boneht by the Berlin museum from a London dealer,thus being lost to England and causing the London Times to bewail the depleted state of the exchequer which prevented the National gallery from acquiring them. The husband of Mrs. Forester who purchased* Lody Warwick's dainty Bond street millinery store some time ago, is a son of Loid Forester, one of the two peers privileged to keep his hat on In the presence of the King. Lody Warwick was so immersed in social.und educational work that she had no time to superintend the store. King Edward's bestowal of the Victoria order on enlisted men of the navy for services in connection with the funeral of Queen Victoria has caused somewhat of a shock to the officers of both the army and navy and a corresponding enthusiasm among the rank and file. It. is quite without precedent and h'r.s done more to popularize King Edward with his sailors than could any other act. Th officers ure beginning to see the King's motive in according the Bailors an ex ceptional honor. Some of the army officers are bitter ly complaining of an innovation since Lord Roberts took command of the forces by which they are obliged to wear uniform whenever thev go to the wur office. Whatever his purpose, Lord Roberts in this woy and many others, Is trying to down the prejudice of the majority of officers against appearing in public in uniform. Soon officers' uniforms nre likely to be as common in London streetsos privates' uniforms ure now. PRESENTED TO H.E.T.HAULTAIN Handsome Gift to Retiring Manager���Yellowstone Mine's Record. Work on Yellow Jacket and Alice Mines -Mining Items. H, erol ANGLO-GERMAN RELATIONS. German Press is Still Unreasonably Anti-British. Berlin, Feb. 0.���The Anglo-Germon relations and their surmised modifications, owing to Emperor William's visit to England, form just now the ull engrossing topic. Since Ills Majesty's return all Germany hns been engaged in the discussion. The dee- orating of Lord Roberts with tho Order of the Black Eugle and Emperor Willium's reply to King Edward's speech, in which the Emperor said he wus h iiioreil in wearing a British uniform and that tho emperor's army would likewise feel it an honor, have especially aroused keen criticism, which is prlvutely expressed muoh mine freely than in print. The Krauze Zcltung's comment yesterday afternoon is today making the rounds of the German press. Many Conservative nnd ugrurlan papers merely reproduce It without comment. The KreU28 Zeltung said: 'We fall to see why this Boer destroyer (Roberts) should receive such a unique murk of Emperor William's distinction, and also why the emperor, after being horribly Insulted several ,veins ugo by the officers of his lliltlsh regiment should now show them marked uttertlon." The bitterly unglophobc Deutsche Tuges /.eltung (In spite of the fact thut the agrarians, now less than ever, wish the emperor to feel wroth with them, when tbey aro preparing In defeut the canal bill a second time nnd simultaneously demand prohibitive cerenl duties foi their benefit) says it enniiot doubt the Emperor's behavior In England is based on the Idea of closer Anglo-German friendship, which is Intensely unpopular with the vast majority of the nation. But whatever comment is made is In cautious terms. Tho National Zeltung (National Liberal) calls the Krcuze Zeltung's article an untaxing utterance, and claims to doubt tbe report of thu decoration of Lord Roberts with the Order of the Block Eagle. The Cologne Zeltung, the lending Centrist organ, weighs tbe chances of the Russian or British raporoachmont for Germany,carefully concluding that the beat policy for Oermuny's interests Is nn entente with Grent Britain from the Cntholle standpoint particularly, und nlso that an understanding with Great Britain means tho furtherance of more liberal political Institutions. E. T. Haultain, until lately gen manager of the Yellowstone, came into town yesterday after in stalling his successor G. V. Bopkins, lute manager of tbe Bullion Ext rae tion Works at Silica. Before leaving a very pleasing epi sode occurred. The staff and men at the mine gave Mr. Haultain a supper, wbich was.presided over by A. Cam eron, accountant of the Yellowstone. After the supper J. T. Vogler, fore man of tbe mill, on behalf of himself and those employed at the mine, pre sented the retiring manager with i very handsome gold Waltham watch and an illuminated address, expressive of the regret that all felt at bi leaving. Mr. Haultain, wbo is consulting engineer for the Arlington mine near Erie, of which he is in charge during C. D. Mackenzie's illness, has opened un office as consulting engineer in rooms 8, 9 and 10 in the K.-W.-C. block. The Yellowstone mill, has now been in Bteady operation for a year, crushing 835 tona during January, which brings tbe total crushings for the year up to 9,305 tons, an exceedingly good record for a 10-stamp mill, "'he average percentage of extraction for the whole year bas been a trifle over 75 per cent. ��� ��� �� THE FREE-MILLING BELT. The repots to hand from the Yellow Jacket mine on Champion creek are of a satisfactory nature. Tbe sawmill at the mine is turning out lumber rapidly for tbe mill and other buildings. The stamp mill is on the ground and Ib being set up as quickly as possible although the task will entail upwards of six weeks' more work. Development Is being carried on vig oroualy and the property continues to improve as the workings are extended. Thomas James, manager of the Onondaga Mining tit Milling com pany, has returned from a trip to Syracuse, N. Y., where he was called in consultation with the directors. By the time the stamp mill is operating the Yellow Jacket will represent un investment of 8100,000, but there seems to be no reuson to doubt thut the property merits the confidence manifested by tbe company. ��� * * WORK AT THE ALICE. While on his East Kootenay trip T G. Procter inspected the work at the Alice mine which lie is developing in the interests of the York-Manchestci syndicate. Development is now lurgu ly confined to a tunnel designed to lap the vein at a depth of 2.10 feet. The lead should be encountered nt a distance of 500 feet of which 210 feet has been driven. In connection with this a shaft has been slatted from the upper levels to fnrnlHh nlr to the long tunnel.

Victoria, Feb. 0.���The steamer Amur, arrived from Skagway, brings the first Nome news since last fall. The mall currier reports that there haB been cold, desolate weather with considerable sutferlng and much want at Nome, a large number of robberies and petty crimes, and the robbery of ouches wns frequent. Fearing that the government of Nome would full Into the hands of crooks the proposition to Incoiporato the city was defeated. An automobile service began operation between Dawson and tho creeks on February 2, 0. Amos, of Nome, was among the passengers by the Amur, being the first arrival from that district. lie mnde the trip from Nome to Dawson by dog team. He suys the mines of Nome are proving fairly Biitlsfaciory but there are no new attlkou. Prices for food are very high. He visited The services to be held here today by Rev. J. G. Shearer, field secretary of the Lord's Day Alliance, promise to be most interesting. There seems to he a misapprehension of Mr. Shearer's mission, which he will remove from the minds of his hearers in the course of his visit to Nelson. The Lord's Day Alliance does not exist tor the purpose of compelling people to observe Sunday by religious exercise nor does the organization endeavor to nictate In the slightest degree what the individual should do with his Sundays. On the contrary there is a strong feeling permeating the alliance that the hours of rest on the seventh day belong to the individual to dispose of as ho may desire, provided always that the Individual does not interfere with the masses. The alliance exists for the purpose of preserving the Sabbath as a day of rest inviolate, leaving to the churches the tank of influencing the public iu the matter ot religious observance, Discussing this point Mr. Shearer says: "I personally hold very strong views as to the proper observance of the Sabbath, but if an attempt was made to dictate to the individual as to his course of action, 1 should he among the first to take the plntform In oppoBition." Il'iving disubused the public mind uf uny misconception on tills point, it will lie of considerable interest to note whut the alliance hus accomplished in the direction of preserving Sunday a duy of rest. In Ontario where the alliance has 130 branches anil a membership running into the thou sands an aggressive programme has been followed where attempts have been mnde to infringe on the Sunday obsrvniice. An Instance of this is the euse of the Calcium Carbide works at Mcrrlton. Ont,, This industrial enterprise could not fill Its orders in the ordinary working hours and Instructed 25 of its employes to report ft r duty on Sunday. The workmen nppenled to the nlllnnee for assistance nnd a letter wus udiliesscil co the piesldeut of the company courteously urging him to abandon the Idea. The euiiimuulen- tlon failed to huve uny effect, and the alliance took further action. The statutes on the subject operating In Ontario do not apply to eoiporutloiis so It beenme necessary to reach the company through the men The latter were agreeable and prosecutions were Instituted which resulted ufter a tight In two courts in the company abandoning tho Innovation. Similar experiences have been encountered In _ dealing with corporations throughout' \tuu j,, ������, (MC nlost Interesting case on Tne case of Brackman ing Company, Ltd. vs. the the supreme court for fo concluded last night when the special jury empanelled on the case awarded th�� plaintiffs 81,270. The last of tho evidence was submitted yesterday morning. Charles Wilson, counsel for the defence.addrcssed the jury followed by S. S. Taylor fur the plaintiff. His lordship then submitted to the jury a preliminary question as to whether the sending of the letter of acceptance hy the Rrackman tit Ker Company to Oppenhelmer by registered mail, was a usual ami proper custom having regard to the relationship of the parties and the distance they lived from each other. The jury ufter a few moments'deliberation replied in tbe uffirmutive. His lordship then further charged the jury on the question of the alleged trade custum or usage of supplying ears by the seller of goods ut the point of shipment, and pointed out most emphatically the proper meaning of the words "free on board" which is the f. o. b. of commercial language. Fire additional questions were then submitted, briefly as follows: (1.) As to the alleged custom. (2.) Whether Cppenheimer on Nov. 10 refused to fulfill the contract? (1.) Whether Oppenheimer on the 15th of Novermber had loaded a car of hay at Chewcluh for Hrackman tit Ker? (4.) The price of buy during the pendency of the contract? (5.)

The jury after al:out an hour's deliberation returned, answering questions No. 1, 2 nnd 8, In the negative und assessing the damages at 81,*'70, whereupon his lordship entered judgment for Iliad,man tit Kei in this amount, with costs. The foremun of the jury Mr. N. T. Macleod stated tbat while the jury In deference to bis lordship's explicit directions hud decided that the term -free on board." compelled the buyer to furnish the ears and pay for the goods ut the point of shipment, still wished it known that they were In the habit of dealing on the basis of this alleged custom and would In the orJiuniy course of business expect the seller of goods to fui- nisli the cur.

Mr. Justice living dismissed the summons following u judgment uf Mr. Justice Martin who held that reading the rule und the net of Interpretation of the statute together with the word "action" must be given a wide meaning uud would include preparatory proceedings. Tbe point Involved is of very considerable Import anoe to local practitioners. The up- plication was made by VV, A. Macdonald, P. B, Wilson contra. The case of Fawcett vs. C. P.

In the contest the principle ut stake has been to prevent any employers of labor from compelling men to work on Sunday save where the enterprises are those of necessity or mercy. Furthermore a liberal Interpretation is taken of the exceptions. When asked ns to what the alliance expected to fight In the Kootenays, Mr. Shearer pointed out that he had only been in the country for a few days and could not be expected to huve grasped the situation. He hinted that Sunday lubor In tbe mines might he considered, hut was careful to draw attention to a cardinal principle of the alliance which was that the general organization only enden- vored to establish the broad platform of Sunday observance, leaving the local brunches to deal with such matters as required iitlcntlon In their respective localities, the point being tbat I j{allltul) the branches were In tbe best posl- ' tion to grapple with problems of a local nature. the dueled from a local standpoint.

A QUESTION OF PATRIOTISM. The protests which hnve been uttered by a certain portion of the press of the province against schemes which are said to be hutching calculated to rob British Columbia of the fruits of her industrial development u.id benefit United States corporations, are timely and will meet with general approval. Every patriotic citiz.en of this country will not deny thut as far as possible we should adopt the principle of "Canada for Canadians"��� that is, shut Canadians should reap to the fullest possible extent the advantages which are legitimately theirs from the exploitation of the rich resources of Canada. No one will deny the justice of that contention. The people of Eastern Canada have awakened to a realization of the fact that in the past they have suffered to an incalculable extent through viewing with apathy the operations of United States speculators; and recently legislation has been enacted looking to the better protection of Canadian interests. Signs are not wanting that the people of British Columbia will shortly be called upon to give serious consideration to this question of taking steps to prevent the encroachment upon their interests by designing United States speculators, who, under the plea of developing the country, aim at milking it of its rich raw products fot their own benefit. British Columbians will stand shoulder to shoulder on one common ground in the event of such an assault being made. The air is full of rumors of the approach of a railway war of great magnitude. On tbe one side stands J. J. Hill, and against him is the C. P. R. The merits of the vatious contentions put forward by the great rivals will no doubt be fully explained -, but observing the conflict from afar, as it is in its present phase, the sympathy of the people of tho west will undoubtedly be extended to the gieat Canadian institution. That opinion may be changed later on when all the arguments are presented and a verdict awaited, but the feeling in the west at present is as we have indieuted. The C. P. R. is a much-criticized corporation, and perhaps some of the adverse comment is justified -, hut it. hns done so much for Cnnuda, it is so great a purely Canadian insti tution, and one conducted with such marked ability that British Columbians will oe loth to turn from It and extend the hand to rivals wbo are not in any way identified with our national growth. That Canadians in the west have only too easily been de luded by the promises held out to them by their shrewd Yankee cousins is manifest if one will look at the citieB of Spokane uud Seattle which huve thrived by the exploitation of Canadian territory.

A GOOD THING. German Syrup is the special prescription of Dr. A. Uoshee, a celebrated German Physician, and is acknowledged to be one of the most fortunate discoveries in Medicine. It quickly cures Coughs, Colds and Lung troubles of the severest nature, removing, as it does, the cause of tbe aft'ee- ton and leaving the parts in a strong and healthy condition. It is not an experimental medicine, but has stood the test or years, giving satisfaction in every case, which its rapidly increasing sale every season confirms. Two million bottles sold annually.

Be says: "After all my experience I bid to come home thinking there was no cure for mo. I was bo weak and nervous I could hardly walk, and for three years I hadn't a good night's sleep. I was run down until 1 onlv weighed 120 pounds. "I commenced using drape-Nuts nbout a year ago and now I weigh 108 pounds und can do as good a day's woik as any one.

I use Grape- Nuts food every day and know It Is the greatest blessing that over was sent to suffering humanity. 1 believe if it had not been for this food 1 would have been under tho sod before this." There is a reason. No food In existence contains, In a concentrated form, the elements that will rebuild the nerve centers and the brain, as drupe-Nuts, und the beauty of the food is that il is perfectly cooked at the factory and by the process of manufacture is pre-digested fn a natural way. therefore requires but trifling power of tbe stomach to digest He Did Not Loot Lu Sen's Residence in Pekin.
