WISE HOTEL r1AN.
WIFE PUT HIM RIGHT,

All hotel men. as rule, are healthy, but once In
while they subject TO stomach trouble like
the ordinary mortal. and 1t is interesting to know
what they do to provide themselves with proper
food.
In the case of Mr.. Mckee Of the Wheeler House.
Howard. =. D., be finally got down to Grape Nuts
Food alone and lived ii for a little over sJx
months. He speaks OF some wheat foods and other
cereals that he could not digest, but Grape Nuts
is predigested and easy for the weakest Kind Of a
stomach. that he got we'll IL.
He writes at length giving a description Of his
years Of sickness and his final cure by food He
could not retain any food and digest it. Finally
his wife heard of Grape-Nuts Food, and urged him
to eat some Of IT and nothing else. He says: II
quickly began to gain in flesh, and my skin took
another color. stuck to Grape-Nuts and moth
ing else for over six months. l gained 25 pounds
began to sleep naturally, and have gotten quite
we'll.
AFTER while I began to eat plain food again
and felt distress. The Grape-Nuts regulated my
bowels and cured me Of the old headache
The makers do not advise the of Grape Nuts
Food alone, except in extreme cases like this. 1t
is better a rule, to make the breakfast Of three
four heaping teaspoonfuls Of Grape Nuts, with
some good, rich cream, together with a little
cooked fruit and some Postum Food Coffee At
midday have little meat and some vegetables
and at night have the same meal as the break
fast. This sort Of diet will cure stomach and
nervous troubles In 70 cases out Of 100.

PROTEST FROM STURGES
Thought the Sentences Imposed on
the Gambling Machine Men
Were Too Light.

\ vigorous protest was entered yes
terday by r. Il. Sturses against the
light sentences imposed OH the men
prosecuted by the Municipal league for
having gambling machines in their
saloons.
Monday, Richard NJ. Owens. of Oily
phant, in whose place q machine was
found, plead guilty and Il fine of $40
and costs was imposed. Yesterday
morning Thomas Foley and Byron
F'allon plead guilty to like charges,
and received a similar sentence When
Is. Menzel was called and pleaded
guilty. L. F.. Sturges arose and adj
dressed the court.
What / have 20 say said Mr..
Sturses. "applies not only to this man,
but to all of the other men accused as
he is. We do not care to either perse-
cute or prosecute them. Our motive is
to honor and dignity this county and
this court, and to purify this comnun-
fty. We would purge it of its outlawry.
We would protect the peace and dig
nifty of the county and our homes by
intoxicating in these men IL higher re-
spect for the laws of the state. ] SUBJ
init to the court that this fine OF $40 is
not commensurate With the offense. 1t
costs us many times $40 to secure the
evidence against these men and to Sc
cure their conviction. I also submit to
the court that it is encouraging to these
men to continue in their wrongdoing
and discouraginG to us i'll the work we
have undertaken"
Judge Fl. NJ Edwards, who is on the
bench in the main court room this
week, consulted with Judge j. p. Kelly,
who was also on the bench at the time,
and at its conclusion Judge Edwards
said:
THE court is always glad to hear
from both sides regarding the imposi-
ton Of punishment. However. the en-
tire responsibility rests with the court
and not with the counsel. Judge Kelly
and I, after consultation, decided that
the object Of this crusade against the
slot machines UP the valley has ac-
complished it's purpose.
ut has been the policy to be lenient
with first offenders. II any one re-
peatS his oifenSe after once having en-
ioyed the leniency of the court we will
be inclined to impose the full penalty
of the law. We think, however. that
the fine of $40 and costs, with the de-
struction of the machines, is sufficient
at present. We will therefore impose q
fine Of $40 and costs"
