HANDY HUSBAND.
Knew How to Get Part of the Break
 fast Anyhow.

CT know one dish I can prepare for breakfast as well as any cook on earth said my husband one day when the cook was i'll and he had volunteered to help get breakfast He appeared with his dish and I discovered it'was Grape Nuts which, of course, was easy to pre- pare for it was perfectly cooked at the factory, but it was good Illustration of the convenience of having Grape Nuts about.
 We just added a little cream and, of course, had delicious bit of food. We took up Grape Nuts immediately after returning from five years sojourn in a hot country and our stomachs were in bad condition and we were in bad health generally.
 When we first tried it I confess we thought there were other and better things to eat and were told we must acquire a taste for this new food. Sure enough in a day or two we liked Grape Nuts better than any other kind of food on the table. We both gained steadily in health and strength, and this was caused by Grape-Nuts and Postum Food Coffee.
 A friend of ours had similar eXperi~ ence She was seriously ill with indi~ sestion and could find nothing to eat that would not give her heart burn and palpita ton especially at night.
 She found that small dish of Grape Nuts with cream made her satisfac- tory supper and gave her comfort able nights rest. In a short time she has gained several pounds in weight. The writer lives in Topeka. Kan. Name given by Postum Co.,, Battle Creek, Mich.

up York State" presented at the Hyperion last evening, was thoroughly enjoyed by the audience which was of good size despite the unfavorable weather and the play, which is of the Old Homestead class, bids fair to have a great and great popularity. The ap- pearance of the authors of the play, Miss Georgia Waldron and David Hig- gins, lent additional interest to the per- formance. They acquitted themselves finely. The scenes are laid in the Adj rondacks at Stoney Creek, N. Y, and tell of the love affairs of an inventor and his ward, which get decidedly en- tangled but are finally strengthened out, at the same time introducing number of country types, many of which were quite true to life. The sup porting company was good and the scenic effects deserve commendation.
