But 1 cannot withhold my acknowledgment of the debt that I owe to Grape-Nuts food. “1 digcovered long ago that the very| bulkiness of the ordinary diet was not caiculated to give one a clear head, the power of sustained, accurate thinking. I always felt heavy and sluggish in mind as well as body after cating the ordinary meal, which di- verted the blood from the brain to the digestive apparatus. “I tried foods easy of digestion, but feund them usually deficient in nutri- ment. I experimented with many breakfast foods and they, too, proved unsatisfactory, till I reached Grape- Nuts. And then the problem was solved. “Grape-Nuts agreed with me per- fectly from the beginning, satisfying my hunger and supplying the nutri- rent that so many other prepared foods lack. ““l bhad not been using it very long before I found that I was turning out \n unusual quantity and quality of work. Continued uvse has demonstra- ted to my entire satisfaction that rape-Nuts food contains the ele- ments needed by the brain and nerv- vus system of the hard working public writer.” Name given by Postum Co., Lattle Creek, Mich. “There’'s a reason,” and It is ex plained in the little bgok, “The Road 10 Wellville,” in pkes.

A new Retired Philadelphia Banker Charges Rooseyerc-with Hav- ing Made Terms on the Railroad Question—Also Accuses Ex-President of Taking No Action to Avert Financial Panic of 1907, But Saved the Gamblers. The Panic of 1907. Referring to the panic of 1907, Mr. Barker said a man who w# lwflg‘.fi conference at J. P. Morgan’ i&n May cange to him in Philadelphia and wanted him to use his influence with President Roosevelt to stop a plan that had been mapped out, he alleged, by the financial leaders. The man wes a captain in the Rough Rid- ers, he said, and had used his own influence with the president, but with- out avail. How It Was Precipitated. “The plen,” said Mr. Barker, “con- templated the curtailment of loans, the withdrawal of credits, the putting away of momney by thcse interested where they could get it when they needed it to stop the panic, and the enforcement of tho various state laws regarding the holding of cash reserves by the Dbanks and trust companfes.” Broke Couritry te Save Gambiers. Mr. Barker saild that in October, when the financial upheaval reached its crisis, he urged President Roosevelt to distribute the $145.000.000 of cash on hand in the treasury among the banks of Chicago, Philadelphia, Boston and other large clties. “He wanted to do i7.” he said, “but he called in Mr. Knox and Mr. Cortelyou and Mr. Roct, and instead of depositing in the outside cities he plunged the whole amount in Wall street. It broke the country, but 1t saved the gamblers.” S Fund for Aldrich Currency Plan. The Philadeiphia man, whose bank- ing house at one time was fiscal agent for the Russian government, declared that those who backed the Aldrich monetary plan had begun a “propa- ganda” in which it was prepozed to spend $1,000,080 to secure the endorse- ment of ‘the proposed currency legisla- tion. ‘“Yesterday a banker In Philadelphia started to collect that city’s share of the money, $100,000,” he said. Money Trust Throttles Enterprise. He declared that the “great money oligarchy” of New York controlled all lines of finance, industry and trans- portation and that no legisiation de- signed to break up the trusts would strike at the root of the trouble. “Few people appreciate how by control of the money of trust companies, savings banks and national and state banks this money trust has throttled indi- vidual enterprise,” he =aid. He urged a law thet would compel national banks to hold their legal re- serve in cash, instead of having the power to redeposit part of it in the banks of New York. “A PIPE DREAM,” SAYS TEDDY. Ex-President Disposes of Matter in a Characteristic Manner. New York, Nov. 28.—Colonel Roose- velt, while attending tonight the per- formance by the Irish Players of “The Playboy of the Western World,” was shown the synopsis of Wharton Bar- ker’s testimony in Washington today before the senate committee on inter- state commerce, in which Colonel Roosevelt's name figured prominently. He read the statement carefully and then declared: “I would as soon discuss a_pipe- dream with an out-patient of Bedlam as discuss such nonsense.” SHUSTER WILL LOSE HIS PERSIAN JOB America Not to Intervene in Trouble Between Ru and Persia. London, Nov. 28—An official des. patch from St. Petersburg states tha the American government has notified Russia that it does not intend to inter- fere in support of W. Morgan Shuster, financial adviser to the Persian gov- ernment. The present intention of the Russian government is understood to be that it will demand the dismissal of Mr. Shus- ter. An indemnity will be demanded in order to recoup the cost of the sending of troops to Persia. The latter will lemain where they are at present as- sembled, unless it should be necessary for them to advance so as to enforce Russia’s wishes. Appointment Caused Protest. A demand from Russia for the dis- missal of W. Morgan .Shuster, the American, who was selected faor the office of treasurer general of Persia in February last, has been expected for some time. Mr. Shuster's appoint- ment was approved by the Persian national council on June 13, when he Wwas entrusted with full power in finan- cial matters, and with the collection of customs and taxes. Soon after his appointment, Russia, Belgium, France and Italy protested against the pass- ing of official payments through Mr. Shuster’s hands. Great Britain Warns Persia. The dispute as to his position took an acute turn when he appointed Ma- Jor C. B. Stokes of the Indian army and formerly military attache at the British legation in Teheran, to the command of £n armed gendarmerie, formed for the collc i+ ~ After Russia had prot. > Y ish minister verbally warned Persia that if Major Stokes was to be em- ployed in the Russian sphere of in- fluence in northern Persia, England would recognize Russia’ rights to safeguard her interests in that region. Russia Again Protests. Further difficulties arose on October 10, when the treasury gendarmes at the instance of Mr. Shuster and with the approval of the national council seized the property of Stua-es-Sul taneh, brother of the shah. Russia protested on November 14 that any further exercise of authority by Mr. Shuster would be regarded as.an un- friendly act cn the part of Persia. Mr. Shuster and the Persian government both declined to change their attitude and on Neovember 16 Russia ordered troops to Persia for the purpose of occupying the provinces of Ghitan and Mazanderan. The troops arrived at the port of Enzelio on November 22 and proceeded to Kasbin. Persia Apologizes to Russia. Persia, upon the advice of Great Britain, to whcm she had appealed, decided to withdraw the treasury gen- darmes who had seized Shua-el-Sul- taneh's property and apologized to Russia, whose troops have still re- mained at Kasbin.

More Testimony Adverse to Claim of insurance Company. _ Niles, Mich., Nov. 28._When _ the taking of _depositions in the Kimmel insurance case was resumed today, Henry Dean, a druggist, who has liv- ed in Niles all his life, told of a trip he made to Auburn prison in 1908, ac- companled by E.
