JUDGE WITT TO
WIPE OUT Dives
Refused License for a Saloon
on Seventeenth
Street.

The only liquor license that was re-
fused by Judge Witt yesterday was one
of Charlie Johnson, the colored bar
keeper of Seventeenth Street.
This place has for months been looked
upon as one Of the most disorderly and
dsreputable joints in the city. The or
gies that have enanated there night at
ter night have made that locality hid
eous, and the scenes that were depicted
by witnesses before Judge Witt yester-
day We're sufficient to cause him to shut
down on the application. Other con-
tested applications will be heard to-day.
The law requires that a bond must ac-
company all applications and be filed
when the license is granted before the
latter becomes effective. This matter
has been neglected, and yesterday tho
commemorative Attorney stated that il
the bonds We're not given and the APP
pllcant continued to carry on his bust
ness he would be indicted and tried for
carrying on a business without a license
Judge Witt stated from the bench that
any violation Of law by any liquor
dealer would forfeit his bond, and that
would put him out of business.
1t is quite evident that Judge Witt
and the police are going to make every
effort TO see the laws carried out. About
one hundred licenses have been granted

CEREALS OR MEAT.
A Prepared Food Helps to Solve the
Problem Of Good Living-Prices of
Meat Go Up

while the average housekeeper may
he ignorant as to whether beef trust
has been formed or whether the increase
in the price of meat Is due to other
causes, If she is a woman of moderate
means, she has become convinced that
she must turn to something except ami
NAL food for the main fare of her fam
ily." says the Buffalo Express
1T is not an entirely new thing, this
advance in the price of meats, and it is
even rumored that prices have not yet
reached their limit but certain it is that
the cost of living for the average fam
lily has increased rapidly of late until
meat has become an article of diet that
must necessarily be eliminated from the
daily fare Of the, very poor, and has be-
come almost a luxury even to those who
hive a moderate and usually adequate
amount to spend upon the family food.

A food expert at Battle Creek. Mich.
has produced a food especially intended
to supply more nutriment than meat. fish

about one cent meal. It is called
'.Grape-Nuts.'' and has more nonrishment
for the body and greater strength and
vitality for the brain and nervous sys-
tenn, and is an economy that reduces the
cost OF housekeeping to the minimum and
ct the same time pleases the palate
Grape-Nuts is a condensed food. and

s, fficient for the cereal part of a meal.
Ii requires no cooking or preparati ton Of
any kind, and is ready for immediate
use and suited to the lahorer, athlete,
brain worker, epicure and invalid.
One pound of Grape-Nuts contains more
rourishment, that the system will abb
solb. than ten pounds Of meat. An ex-
p,1iment was tried by a man who found
that by leaving off meat altogether at
bi eakfast and lunch and taking in its
place four heaping teaspoonfuls OF Grape
Nuts. he began to gain flesh and strength
and before the full pound package was
gone had gained four pounds in weight,
whereas he had been losing on his meat

Present conditions therefore, regard
