seem at this distance from the scene
OF strife that some one of the .know-

or Justice of the Peace, arrest and
fine the parties engaged in the traffic,
and destroy their stock in trade if any
is found. Let the petitioners do their
duty, which, if they have the
knowledge they profess to have, is to
make complaint in a legal way, and
when the offender is found and

Did you make your Graln,o this ways

Here are the latest directions: Use
one tablespoonful of Grain-O to two
cups of cold water. Mix the Grain-O
with half an egg and add the water.
(Be sure to measure After the water
gets to the boiling point let boil for
fifteen to twenty miautes. Use cream
and sugar to suit taste. II you have
no cream use hot milk.
A lady said: ''The first time I drank
Grain-O did not like it, but after
using it for ten days and forming the
habit, nothing would induce me to go
back to coffee" This is the expert
ence of all. If you will follow direc-
tions, measure it every time, try it
for ten days, you will not go back to
coffee.
