The High Price of Cotton is due partly
to the shortness of the crop and partly
to the efforts of Mr. Patten to maintain
a corner in the cotton market. Some
sales have been made at a price above
fourteen cents.
Cotton Mills Closing: The prices of cotton
cloth have not advanced as rapidly
as the price of cotton. Consequently,
many cotton mills in North and South
Carolina are stopping or curtailing their
operations. The same is true in New
England and in New York.
President Taft was on the steamboat
Oleander, the better part of last week,
on a trip from St. lx)uis to New Orleans.
The main object of the trip was that he
might weigh the importance and value
of securing deep water in the river ail
the year around. He stopped at various
points, such as Cape Girardeau, Cairo,
Hickman, Memphis and Vicksburg, and
met an enthuisastic welcome. The governors
of several states were on other
boats accompanying the Oleander. The
President's boat distanced them all, until
it arrived at Natchez, when one of the
boilers gave way and the boat had to be
tied up. - ?

THE WAY OUT
Change of Food Brought Success and
Happiness
An ambitious hut delicate girl, after
failing to go through school on account
of nervousness and hysteria, found in
(Jrape-Nuts the only thing that seemed
to build her up and furnish her the peace
of health.
"From infancy," she says, "I have not
ucbii strung, neing amoiuous to learn at
any cost I finally got to the High School
but soon had to abandon my studies ou
account of nervous prostration and hysteria.
"My food did not agree with me, I grew
thin and despondent. I could not enjoy
the simplest social affair for I suffered
constantly from nervousness in spite of
all sorts of medicines.
"This wretched condition continued
until I was twenty-five, when I became
interested in the letters of those who had
cases like mine and who were being
cured by eating Grape-Nuts.
"I had little faith, but procured a box
and after the first dish I experienced a
peculiar satisfied feeling that I had never
gained from any ordinary food. I slept
and rested better that night and in a few
uhjb uegan 10 grow stronger.
"I had a new feeling of peace and rest
fulness. In a few weeks, to my great
joy, the headaches and nervousness left
me and life became bright and hopeful.
I resumed my studies and later taught
ten months with ease?of course using
Grape-Nuts every day. It is now four
years since I began to use Grape-Nats, 1
am the mistress of a happy home and the
old weakness has never returned "
