used it because when properly pre-

but is free from all its injurious
properties. Graino-O aids digestion
and strengthens the nerves. 1t is
not a stimulant but health builder,
and children, as we'll as adults, can
drink 1t with great benefit. Costs
about as much as coffee. 10 and 25

Coming Our WAY.

Time was when lola, q poor, little
country village, turned her pockets
wrong side out to persuade q factory
to locate here. Gas has changed all
that and today with ten or more fac
tories ia operation and others located,
lola sits with her feet on the desk
and puffs large fragrant Havana
while the representatives of some Of
the biggest factories in the country
negotiate for admission to the gaseous
land. And don't she enjoy the
change,
Among the most recent of the ne
gOtiations set on foot are the follow
ing, which will give an idea also OF
the varied interests which are seek.
ing to get locations.
a representative of the National
Enameling aud Stamping Co., which
makes enameled cooking dishes, was
in lola for two days talking with
members OF the Commercial Club aud
getting an idea of the chances to get
lollh anu a. W. MS NOlh Bdul AuAA AAAN
price thereof. He will report to his
company.
There are six smelters in the couu-
ty, but "A representative of another
and well known smelling company
has been in lola repeatedly trying to
arrange for breaking in. He was
shown the layout and promised all
the help and sympathy and influence,
that the Club could give but the word
"bonus" never entered into the con-
versation.
Negotiations have been on foot for
some time and the chances are very
favorable indeed for glass factory
for lola. One of the big, wealthy
companies of the country has made
overtures and is very anxious to
establish here western branch of its
factory.
A gentleman is here now and will
be here TOR month sounding the
Commercial Club on the question of
securing gas and site for a metallic
tie works. The steel tie was discov-
cred some years ago and has been
given careful trial with the result
that the railroads have decided that
these ties, costing some thirty cents
more than wood ties, more than make
up the difference in durability. Only
hard wood will do for ties and such
wood is daily becoming more scarce.
A large company lie already manu-
featuring these ties and has plants at
Chicago and Pittsburg, and the
desirability of western factory
has been recognized and this
gentleman will try to arrange for
branch factory here.
And then there are little signs
which indicate, that the big
outside world has discovered us.
Several "way-up" railroad men
have invested in lola property, pay
ing for the same handsome figure.
lola has outgrown the swaddling
clothes and has become interested in
things which wouldn't do for even
the worst children to play with.
