PEOPLE WE KNOW.

They Say is of Local Interest.


When an incident like the following
occurs, right here at home. it is bound
to carry weight with our readers.
When so many strange occurrences go
the rounds of the press, are published
as facts, when the intelligent reader
knows they cannot be true, there is
no reason that people become skepti-
cal. On one subject skepticism is
rapidly disappearing. This is due to
the actual personal experience of our
citizens and their utterances regarding
them. The doubter must doubt no
more in the face of such evidence rs
this. The public statement of a re
putable citizen living right here at
home, one whom YOU can see every
day, leaves no ground for the skeptic
to stand on.
Mrs. j. Anderson, of 1905 Thirty
eighth street, says: Il suffered from
symptoms of kidney trouble for two

Graiu-O Brings Relief

To the coffee drinker. Coffee drink
ing is habit that is universally in
dulged in and almost as universally
injurious. Have you tried Grain-O?
1t is almost like coffee, but the effects
are just the opposite. Coffee upsets
the stomach, ruins the digestion, af-
fects the heart and disturbs the whole
nervous system. Grain-O tones up
the stomach, aids digestion and
strengthens the nerves. There is
nothing but nourishment in Grain-O.
1t can't be otherwise. ID and % cents

Police Sergeant NJ. F. Archer was

But James '.con" didn't work worth
a cent. Officer Archer said the defend
ant was guilty.
Judge Adams thereupon passed

hold outside offices continued before the
judiciary committee for three hours to-

reached on these, nor was there a deter
mination of the status of Gen Wheeler
and other members holding army com
missions. The discussion was at times
very animated, and wide differences of
