Says
“Too much starch in our diet is a cause of no end
of trouble.” •
“t believe that ill-balanced foods resulting in im
proper nourishment, are at the bottom of the causes
leading up to tuberculosis.”
W" cat quantities of white bread, (starch) pota-
t,K ‘- s . (starch) pastry, (starch) wheat & oats, (starch)
!iml wonder why we run down and have bowel
troubles.
It's plain enough on thinking.
I”'lom too much starchy food the lower digestive
machinery wearies and fails to digest it. (Starch indi
gestion). Then the partly digested starch lying in
die moist warm place in the bowels, naturally decays,
gases arise and irritation of tho bowels results, show
ing in poor nourishment and various ails. ‘‘What
'an you do?” Bat Grape-Nuts and Cream instead of
broad, potatoes, pastry, wheat, oats, &<*., &<•., because
in (irape-Nuts food the starchy parts of wheat and
barley have, in the process of manufacture, been
transformed into a form of sugar perfectly digcstable.
Htarchy food is demanded by Nature to supply
energy a ud. warmth to the body, but it should be so
prepared tbut the human system can make use of it
without overtaxing the digestive machinery.

Candidate Tells Why New
York Papers Are Fight
ing Him.
CIRCUS IS TOO BIG
FOR STREET PARADE
New York. Oct. In the four
speeches which William Randolph
Hearst, nominee of the Independence
League and Democrats for the govern
orshlp of New York slate, made last
night In Manhattan, the candidate had
much to say regarding the attacks
made upon him by the papers of this
city. *
In this connection he said he felt
sure he could have been more popular
with his fellow newspaper proprietors
If. when invited, he had b«en willing to
enter Into a trust with them to raise
the rates to advertisers end keep down
the wages of employee*.
He branded as false the published
statement that he would spend a mil
lion dollars In the campaign, and as.
ssrted he would spend nq more than
he did In the campaign of Grover
Cleveland and W. J. Bryan when he
was merely Interested as a Democrat.
"Various New York papers," said he,
have stated that I, have made a com
pact with the bosses In order to secure
my nomination on the Democratic tlck-
I had no understanding wtlh any
bosses before the convention or at the
convention or after the convention. I
had at the convention 111 votes from
the state and outside of the city
In which I lived, and the vote In this
city was given to me, or rather part of
It was given to me, because ths Demo,
crattc rank and file of this city had
declared for me, and ths bosses did
not dare defy thnt declaration. I have
made no private promise to any Indi
vidual or to any Interest, and any
statement thnt I have or Intimation
that I have Is a lie."
As lo the charge that he had em
ployed Chinese labor on his California
ranch, Mr. Hearst ssld:
"I have never employed Chinese la
bor In sail my life, and I do not own one
foot of ground In Palermo, Cel., either
directly or Indirectly, nor Is Chinese
labor employed on my properly that I
own or partially own In California or
In any other state of the Union.

"Ths Sultan of 8ulu."
George Adt’i Brat musical success
cams to the Grand again Monday
night for an engagement of three per
formances. But It was not like the old
"Sultan.” The jokes fell very flat from
the lips of ths comedians and ths
songs seemed to lack their old swing.
Perhaps It was because ‘The Sultan” Is
getting In his dotage, nr perhaps It la
because the company could not get the
humor out of their parts—or rather
Into them.
But even with all that, the audience
warmed under (he Influence of the
music and tha riot of color and ap
plauded almost every song In the sec
ond set. The company Improved under
II* encouragement end things went
much better than In the Aral act.
Th* weakness Is In the comedy. Al
bert Sykes falls to Instill fun Into Kl-
Ram and Mr. McCarthy falls as Hadji.
But the muelc I* fairly well handled
and several numbers wsrs given fre
quent recalls.
Miss Brosks was a surprise. In re
sponse to a recall In ths second act
she sang "Annie Laurie" In a manner
that stilled the audience almost abso
lutely until the lest note died away.
She was forced to sing the refrain of
ths old song again and again. Nothing
but the noisy movements of the Irre-
iresstble ushers In the rear of the house
>roke the spell.

"Bankers and Brokers.”
Gua Yorke and Nick Adama and a
clever company are presenting a musi
cal farce of the prevalent Bijou type
at that play houas this week, but It la
Just a little above the average—some
thing Ilka their last year's vthlcle, only
repainted. It’s one of the Rogers
Brothers variety of extravaganzas with
plenty of fun and music and
shore of pretty girls.
Every song In the whole show xvas
new. and most'of them were tuneful
or what’s nearly as good—well ren
dered.

from the sky line. She was one of ....
leaders and waa always on one of tho
ends—the blond one with the broom-
handle curls. She had a smile that
was put there to stay and thnt looked
Ilka one of enjoyment—not the ordl
