a SCIENTIFIC BREAKFAST.

Rightly selected food will cure more
than half the diseases. Try q scientific
and healthy ast:-F'ruit of some
kind, preferably cooked; a dish of Grape
Nuts, with cream; two soft-boiled eggs.
Put two eggs in a tin pint cup OF poliinS
water, cover and set off for n.ne minutes.
Whites will then be the consistency oil
cream and most easily digested. One
slice OF bread with butter; cup of Postum
Cereal Food Coffee.
On that breakfast you can work like a
horse and be perfectly nourshed until
noon. Your nervous troubles, heart pal
pitation, stomach and bowel troubles.
kidney complaints and various other dis
orders will gradually disappear and firm
solid health will set in.
Why? You have probably been living
on poorly selected food; that is, food that
does not contain the required elements
the body needs. That sort of food. and
coffee. is the direct or indirect cause of
more than half the ills the human body
acquires.
Grape-Nuts is a perfectly cooked food
and both that and the Postum Food COT

phosphate of potash obtained in a natural
way from the grains of the field and by
scientific food experts Incorporated into
food and drink. That element joins with
the albumen in food to make gray matter,
which is the filing of the brain cells and
the nerve centers all over the human
body.
A man or woman thus fed is scientifi-.

vitality, and becomes capable of conduct

TEST TRANSFER ORDINANCE.
Passenger and Power Company Fined and
VIII AnneaI

The Passenger and Power Company
were charged in the Police Court yester-
day with having disregarded the city
ordinance in reference to the giving or
transfers to passengers at points OF IL
tersection with the Traction Company,
and in the two cases that We're presented
were fined $25, the minimum fine, III
each.
The charges We're brought at the in
stance of the City Attorney, to whom
the complaints had been presented. They
specified Eighteenth and Main Streets as
the points at which the transfers were
refused The ordinance provides that
at that point transfers shall be issued
to passengers of either line upon demand.
The Passenger and Power Company will
contest this clause of the ordinance, ana
in each Of the two cases yesterday took
appeals. Counsel for the company claims
that the city has no right to impose upon
it such laws that may rebound to its
injury.

There are twenty thousand or more

awaiting payment. Most people wait un-s
til the last few days before the enc of
the year to settle up. Then there is a
tremendous crowd from morning until
night in the collector office. A penalty
of five per cent. is added after the close
of the year. a tax-bill has to be made out
not only for each person who has to pay
taxes, but for each separate piece of
property, on which he or she pays. The
big tax payers are, as a rule, not the
first, as one might suppose, to walk up
and give Collector Cunningham their
checks. The most Of them delay paying
as long as possible. Some Of those who
gay only a few dollars are generally the
first to settle.
