Better to Give Children Delicious

Some foods will cure dyspepsia and other foods will cause 1t. The safest way to get we'll is to use the food that agrees with the stomach and permits Nature to go along in a thoroughly natural way.
 A lady says, "I have at last found a true way to get well and keep well. and that is by the use of Grape-Nuts Break fast Food.
 For six years I suffered with indiges- ton and palpitation of the heart so that I could not sleep nights. l tried d great many different kinds of medicines and a lot of different kinds of cereals. but none of them helped me. and my stomach seemed to get worse and worse.

I wondered if 1t con tained any medicine. but learned that it did not. but that 1t was only food pre- pared so that the stomach could easily digest 1t.
 The next time l went down town bought two packages. This was on Tues day and it was all gone on Saturday for we all liked it so much, so I sent down and got three more packages and from that time I have been using Grape-Nuts steadily and my indigestion has entirely disappeared.

An Important Suit.

A suit has been filed in the United States Court by minority stockholders of the Ensley Land Company. and in 1t they seek to recover possession of large tract of valuable Ensley property. The bill is an important one, as 1t brings into question the validity of the title to much Ensley property.
 Some of this property has changed hands a number of times, and there is no way of estimating the number of per sons who may be concerned in the out come of the matter. The property in question consists of 240 acres which, it is alleged, was obtained by Nathaniel Bax- ter, Jr., James Bowron, A. M. Shook, G. B. Mccormack and Erskine Ramsay from the Ensley Land Company.
 Since the transfer of this property 1t has been divided up, sold and resold. and much of it has been built upon It Is situated in the city of Ensley proper, and is of enormous value at this time. The bill in question was filed by Alfred Kessler and Gustav F. kessler. sur viving members of the firm of Kessler & Co; Charles K. Beekman. as executor and trustee of the estate of W. E. Beck man, deceased. and James Swan, who claim to own altogether AIS shares Of stock of the Ensley Land Company, against the Ensley Company, q. l B. McSOfnldCht iNaSh9oJS ~N. M. Shook, James Bowron, Nathaniel l Baxter and the Ensley Land Company. 1 The action complained of by the peu- tioners are alleged to have been wrong fully committed by the defendants Bax- ter, Bowron. Shook, Mccormack and ! Ramsay, by and with the aid Of the Ensley Land Company. and consists of the alleged wrongful obtaining by them of more than 240 acres of land from the Eusley Land Company without just com pensation therefor and contrary to the rights of the Ensley Land Company and | the complainants as stockholders.
 The compliments pray, in conclusion
 that all of the conveyances be held void set aside and canceled, and that writ | of injunction be issued restraining tho IInsley Company from disposing of the lands in such a way that 1t cannot be recovered that judgment be rendered against them for damages for the loss suffered, and also that they be required | to account for all profits which have
 arisen by reason Of any dealings by then in connection with the property.
 The complainants exonerate defendant, N. F. Barker. of any wrongful knowledge | or intent In connection with the transac-
 tions alleged to have taken place.
 Attorneys Smith and Smith of this city, 1 filed the bill.
