NEVER UP A NIGHT.
go:

A man in Grand Rapids, Michigan, r.
]. Hill, druggist, discovered that one
of the most perfect and safe ways TO
wean babe was to begin feeding
Grape Nuts, the famous breakfast tood.
His letter states: "If there is baby
food that is better than Grape-Nuts, 1t
must be q dandy. We began feeding
our little Garcia Grape-Nuts before
weaving, and for few months after It
was her only food and fatter, more
healthy child could not be found. We
were never up n night, nor did she
have days sickness. We didn't realize
when she gave. up the nurse. Conse-
quently we feel grateful for the product
called Grape-Nuts, and wish you sue
cess"
This coming from a druggist who has
access to nlI the well-known baby foods
Is somewhat remarkable, but when one
realizes that Grape Nuts are composed
Of the most nourlshlng parts OF the ce-
reals, treated by heat, time and mois-
ture, without any drugs whatsoever,
and thereby with scientific processes,
actually pre-digested. in the same man
ner. that the human body changes the
starch of the cereals into a delicate
grape sugar, 1t is easy to understand
why the food can be handled by even
very young baby,
II Is not only the most powerful nu-
tritive food for athletes and strong
men, but, as seen, 1t is applicable to the
most delicate stomnchs. This fact has
been proven over and over again by use
with lnvallds and weak babies. Add to
these nutritious features, the fact that
Grape-Nuts is of most delicious fla
vor, the grape. sugar to be seen glisten-
ing on the little granules, and a reason
is discovered for the universal and
enormous sale of the new food product.
Srape-N Nuts are made by the. Postum
Cereal CO., Ltd, at Battle Creek, and
sold by all first class grocers.

went on record as one of the best in the
history of the organizatiOn-this year
the fifth annual meeting is to be held
at the Gait House, in Louis
Vile. wednesday, October IS, and
every important river community from
pittsburgh to Cairo ought to be repre-
sented, for although much has been
accomplished through the efforts of the
association, still more remains to be
accomplished. and vigorous effort is
necessary to get what is wanted in the
line of an extension of slackwater for
the Ohio river.
President John L. Vance. of Gallipo-
lis, and Secretary E. P. Wilson, of Gin

commerce holds twenty memberships in
the association. and 1T is likely Presi-
dent Quarter will name several dele

To this end the Association has been

w. Buck received letter Of credit
purporling to be issued by the Goose
River Bank Of Mayville. upon the
First Bank Of Coopcrs'own drawn in
favor of one Horace Scott in the
sum Of $500. Seeing that the
envelope did MT bear the official
card of the Mayville bank and that,
the letter was not type written or ex-
actly of a business form Mr.. Buck
became suspicious and immediately
telegraphed to Mayville to confirm
letter Of credit. In the meantime
Scott appeared a. The bank for his
money and Mr.. Buck wanting 10
lea, from Mayvil'c, told Scott his
letter of credit had nut been received.
Later in the day telegram was re-
ceived from MayviIle stating that the
bank did not know Scott and had
written no letter Of credit, and as a
consequence Mr.. Buck swore out a
warrant for forgery and Scott was ar
rested at the Newell House by
Sheriff Iinglestad late Friday night.
