PRETTY CHEEKS.
A Food That Makes Girls Sweet to
Look Upon

A Food That Makes Girls Sweet to
Look Upon
The right food for young ladies is OF
the greatest Importance TO their looks,
to say nothing of the health. Thin, sal
low girls don't get the right food you
may be absolutely certain. A Brooklyn
girl says: For long time in spite of
all could do I was thin, skinny and
nervous. My cheeks We're so sunken
my friends used to remark on how bad
/ looked. I couldn't seem to get
strength from my food-meat, potatoes,
bread, etc. So 1 tried various medi-
cines without help.
81 often read about Grape Nuts, but
never tried the food until one day some
thing impressed me that perhaps II
would eat Grape Nuts for my nerves
and brain I could digest and get the
good of my food. So started in. The
food with cream was fascinating to my
taste and l went in for it regularly
twice day.
"Well l began to improve and now
while on my third package l have
changed so my friends congratulate me
warmly. ask me what in the world
have taken, ETC., etc. My cheeks are
plump and rosy and / feel so strong
and WELL / sleep sound and 1t seems
as though couldn't get enough to eat.
Thank you sincerely for making Grape
Nuts" Name given by Postum Co.,
Battle Creek, Mich.
There's reason for Grape-Nuts.

TAXPAYERS ARE INDIGNANT.
Citizens Who Object to Paving are Up
in Arms Against Proposed Street I'm.
movement

provement.
An Indignation meeting of the tax
payers and others interested in the pro-
posed paving the city council expects
to act on next week, was held Monday,
and it is claimed by those who are
closest in touch with the situation that
they have prepared and secured the
signatures to remonstrances covering
almost all of the proposed streets to be
paved. which have been signed by
four-fifths of the property owners
along the several streets. Business
men, who have property affected. have
spent considerable time in securing the
signature OF property owners in the
outlying streets. Just what effect the
remonstrances will have on the action
of the council is not known.
Some of the sentiment is anything
but mild and many of the gentlemen
concerned are decidedly outspoken in
the reasons advanced why the council
should not pave at this time. The
principal reason and the one heard
most often, is that it is at this time
impracticable and unbusiness like,
that no private individual would think
of expending 100000 or more in build
ing with the price of both labor ana
material lowering around the top
round They claim the country In gem
eral is soon to experience a decided fall
off in price of these commodities and IN
a few years the same can be put down
for considerable less money than at
present. They site as an example
that the paving ordered several years
ago cost in the neighborhood of Sl.2o,
while that of last year was close 10 81.
They believe the time will come Wien
the work can be let for nearer the old
figure which was for brick paving,
which many of them contend Is the
only really durable paving. They cite
the decided dullness in building opera
tons on account of these same reasons,
and think il the individual feels that he
cannot, on account of existing high
prices, invest his capital, the city should
not Other reasons given are chat the
city has not the money to even pay for
a small part of the intersections OF the
thirty blocks ordered; the excess
sive burden placed on many In medium
circumstances, on the streets TO be
paved; and the already, they claim,
extremely high tax, which the proposed
Improvement would have tendency to
still further increase. Personal motives
are even charged in some cases.

Officials of the switchmens organlZa

So far as local conditions are affected

ROSS BULLET

the Girl is Not Just Satisfied That
Shooting Was Purely Accidental
Body to Be Taken to Belle PLANE
For Burial-Formeriy Lived There.

The shooting of Monday afternoon.
when revolver in the hands of Tom
Ross, aged 16, was discharged, and as
a result 11-year-old Mamie Allen was
the victim dying in the Singleton hos
pital at 1880 this morning. 1t was
realized from the start that there was
scarcely any hopes of the girl surviv-
ing, and the fears for the worst We're
confirmed when an examination of the
wound was made at the hospital.
Eight perforations of the intestines
were found
IAN operation was performed on tha
child shortly after she was taken to
the hospital and the decorations in the
intestines were closed with stitches. 1t
was found that the bullet had lodged in
the left hip, and as it could be of no
especial danger to the patient no eff
fort was maze to remove it, owing to
the terrible shock that she had sus-
tanned. The girl rallied quite nicely
from the operation and was conscious
until within ten or fifteen minutes be-
fore her death.
Ross Still in Custody.
Tom Ross, the boy who did the shoot
ing. is still in custody, having been re-
manded back to jail by Mayor Jones
this morning. This is done on request
of Sheriff Shoemaker, who has been
informed that there may be an infor

very much work since Jan. ~, when
he was pretty badly injured by the
falling of piano box which he was I'M
loading while in the employ of George
Beasley. He is still suffering from the
effects of the accident. Mr.. and Mrs.
Allen have twelve children living, seven
of whom are at nome. The older child

EMERSON BUILDING

II ONG, long ago, ever so long ago.
~ there was a promise made to
the whole world that little
baby boy was going to be born.
The people waited years and years.
They became discouraged and could
not wait any longer, They would
not believe it.
The people had to go to little town
called Bethlehem to pay their taxes.
Near Bethlehem there was a man and
lady. They lived in Nazareth They
had to go to Bethlehem to pay their
taxes too. Their names were Joseph
and Mary. They were very poor.
They had no horse and buggy so
