MISCHIEF MAKER.
A Surprise in Brooklyn.

An adults food that can save a baby
proves itself to be nourishing and
easily digested and good for big and
little folks.
A Brooklyn man says: when baby
was about eleven months old he began
to grow thin and pale. This was, at
first, attributed to the heat and the
fact that his teeth were coming. but,
in reality, the poor little thing was
starving, his mothers milk not being
sufficient nourishment.
One day after he had cried bitterly
for an hour, suggested that my wife
try him on Grape Nuts. She soaked
two teaspoonfuls in a saucer with a
little sugar and warm milk. This baby
ate so ravenously that she fixed a
second which he likewise finished. II
was not many days before he forgot
all about being nursed, and has since
lived almost exclusively on Grape
Nuts. To-day the boy In strong and
robust, and as cute a mischief maker
as a thirteen months old baby is ex-
pected to be.
We have put before him other foods,
but he will have none Of them, evident
ly prefering to stick to that which
did him so much good in his time OF
need his old friend Grape-Nuts.
Use this letter any way you wish, for
my wife and can never praise Grape
Nuts enough after the brightness IL
has brought to our household. These
statements can be verified by anyone
who wishes TO make a visit to our
home" f. F. McEIroy, 256 South

City of Mexico, Dec. 9-The Mexican
cotton textile manufacturers have in
vestigated the market for cotton goods

mills here, which have been suffering
from over production. Manufacturers
are confident that while the beginning
will be small the trade will in a few
years assume considerable magnitude

cession for a permanent exposition
