This came from the bench in decision
admitting testimony bearing on the re-

dating back as far as the sos.
The Judge announced that these rela-
items were admissible if insanity is to
be the defense, or if insanity is to be in
any degree relied upon as part of the
defense. They were further admissible,
he said, on the ground of the premedi-
tafion or deliberation, and also because
the State has shown some of the rela-
tions between Saxton, Mrs. George and
Mrs. Althouse.
This decision also opens the doors for
all of what has heretofore been re-

SODA IN HUMAN BODIES.
A Very Much Needed Worker

Very delicate particles of soda ap-
pear in field grains such as used by
mankind.
The use made of natural soda OF
Sodium Sulphate, is to oxidize the
sugar in the body, thereby decompos-
ing it and making it suitable for re-
building the cells and preserving the
bile and pancreatic juices at normal
consistency.
When person fails to use food con-
tanning this important little worker, the
sugar in the body is not properly cared
for and seeks escape through the kid
neys, causing Diabetes. A lack of the
Sodium Sulphate is also shown by Dill
iousness, for the bile becomes thick
when it's little governor is absent So
dium Sulphate is not readily taken uI
by the body when given as drug, but
is quickly absorbed when furnished IN
Natures way as stored in food, and in
that way it is found in Grape-Nuts, the
most scientifically prepared food made
by man. Why? Because in Grape
Nuts the pure natural elements needed
by man are preserved and presented
fresh from Natures own laboratory.

for the classification of clerks in all OF

definite salaries for specified work, the
position of each postal employe to be
certainly defined. The decision of the
Court of Claims is that a clerk must ac-
cept the salary appertaining to his po-
sition on the roster of the office, and is
not entitled to salary for work done in
