MACHINE TYPE SETTERS Said to be Hard on Operators.

The work of typesetter in q modern printing office is very eXacting, particular ly if he runs linotype or typesetting ma chine. It requires the closest attention and rapid and sympathetic action of kctt brain and hand. This machine works much like a typewriter Such workers fed on or dinary food give up because of nervous prostration, some in a short time, and some are able to stand it longer.
 One of these workers says: 'I have been at the linotype three years. It has made a great change in my once robust health. About three months ago, after long ex- pecting it, 1 completely collapsed, from in- digestion and extreme nervousness. The daily physic I had not dared to omit for years, now and then, refused relief and d physician was consulted.
 Change of occupation and diet read the prescription; advise eating Grape Nuts food twice daily. I had often set up the advertisements of the Postum Ce- real Company, but somehow printers are apt to think advertisements are not intend- ed for them to make use of. I could not well change my occupation, but did change the diet.
 Since then have used Grape Nuts. both at breakfast and supper, daily. The results are truly remarkable. The first percepti- be change was in the matter of digestion It has been six weeks since have had to swallow an aperient of any kind At the beginning of my experiment with Grape Nuts I weighed 124 pounds; last evening I tipped the beam at 1571a
 My nerves, which were completely shat tered three months ago, are now strong and steady, and do not tire easily though I go to bed an hour later on an average than formerly, and have increased my ca pacity at the machine fully two columns of type a day I am convinced that Grape Nuts food is the food for persons of seden- tary occupation, especially for those who work with brain in lieu of brawn."

added to from time to time. After the
CLUB was formed a committee was ap-
pointed to secure suitable quarters for
meetings and entertainments. Success
crowned their efforts, and the old Ii

aims and purposes of the Young Mems

as follows:-First, the entertainments and
instruction of its members mentally,
morally and physically. Second. the ad-

though scarcely one year old, it is in
credible the vast good that has been
accomplished through the influence of
the Anaconda Catholic club. With the
beginning of the new year the officers
hope to increase their membership to 200,
and it will be their earnest endeayor
to cement the bonds of friendship and
unity and improve the social condition of
it's members.

the next regular meeting for the en-
