FOOD AND NEURALGIA,
The Right Food Will Drive Il Away.

Good food cures neuralgia and many
other diseases if it is the right kind of
food and taken regularly, for the proper
food will surely rebuild the cellular It's
sues and build the right kind of cells in
stead of diseased cells. When the re-
building is under way the disease
leaves.
That is the fact and the base of the
food cure. There are hundreds of thou
sands of cases to prove the truth of
this assertion.
A man in Delaware. Ia, Mr.. Thomas
Craven. says: My wife has been great
ly afflicted with neuralgia and has
never found any medicine that would
cure her.
Il was told that if she could be fed
on Grape-Nuts Breakfast Food for a
time she would probably get well. so
we started on Grape-N Nuts. Within a
very short time Wife became entirely
free from pain and is now, to all ap-
pearances. entirely cured of her
trouble.
I'VE cannot find words to express our
appreciation of.the beneficial results
from this greatest food in existence,

MYSTERY DEEPENS.
Mrs. Mansfield Fired on Party
Before Being Shot.
Feared That Her Wound May Be More
Serious Than Thought.
Arrests in the Case May Be Expected,
Today.

Portland, Me-, April 1.-The shooting
affair near the Belmont hotel at cape
Elizabeth remains as much of mys-
terry as ever and the victim, Mrs. Mar
earct f. Mansfield. has done her best
to foil the officers in their efforts to
run down the men and women who par
ticipated in the affair.
Today, under pressure from the Off
GERS of Fort Williams, Private Stearns,
who was with Mrs. Mansfield when she
was shot, confessed that the first shots
were fired from the house by Mrs.
Mansfield and in reply to them one shot
was fired, which wounded the woman.
The sheriffs have traced team from
a resort at Cape Elizabeth to the Hotel
Belmont and to Fort Williams, but no
arrests have yet been made, though
some may be expected, tomorrow.
1t is feared that Mrs. Mansfield
wound may result more seriously than
was at first anticipated.

BROKEN PROMISES.
Fall River Operatives Fail to
Receive Expected Raise.
Claim it Is Only 2 or 8 Per Cent. in
Some Cases.
Little Change in the Situation in Other
Sections.

Fall River, Mass, April MANY Of
the mills in this city are making no
secret of their attempt to break away
from the old scale of wages favored
by the Manufacturers Association, and
that they are tying to do so is shown
by the complaints which are steadily
coming in from operatives in the vari-
Gus mills, protesting against the man.
ayers of individual mills paying them
less than the 10 per cent. advance
agreed upon at the recent conference
between the representatives of the
operatives and the Manufacturers AS

Following the agreement of the man.
ufacturers to advance wages 10 per
cent, March II, the operatives return
ed to their work with the firm belief
that they could trust the manufacturers
to do as they agreed. Notices were
posted in all the mills and the opera
tives believed these notices.
The operatives knew there had been
a general inclination among manufac-
turers to break way from the old scale
and pay wages suited to the ideas of
each individual mill manager. but they
did not realize the extent of such a
movement. as much as they do now.
Within a week after the advance was
ordered to go into effect, complaints
began to be filled at labor headquarters
that the operatives were not getting
the 10 per cent. advance, and many
of them claimed that their wages were
not advanced more than or per
cent.
There is more or less trouble among
the operatives on account of the failure
of the mill men to do as they have
agreed. AS far as is known there is
no trouble among the weavers. man

ion that it would not be best to trif1e
with them.

three officers and it is said that the
suit will now be dropped.
