Some years ago when we lived in

Of our little ones during the hot wealth

When we moved to Vineland. a..
j., we made the acquaintance of the
food Grape-Nuts IL was here that our
little girl, Majuba. was born. but she
was so frail and skinny that we fear
ed we would lose her as we had the
other babies. When she was eight
months old we learned about Grape
Nuts and began feeding her this food.
and now wherever she goes our friends
feel her arms, she Is so plump and her
flesh is so firm.
Il am convinced that Grape-Nuis
with a little white sugar and boiling
water would save many a poor baby's
life during the hot weather when milk
is sour and the little ones suffer most
After seeing the power OF Grape
Nuts upon our little girl. my husband
began its use. and all last summer
when we lived at Essington. Pa, he eat
Grape Nuts and no meat. Although no
was working at the hardest laborina
work. digging bitches all this time. he
felt strong and we'll without the meat
just so long as he had Grape-Nuts.'

and have been branded down from genera

iyiia were the only star,ers Ga the Dixie
Stakes at the Rennings track on Wednes-

taic OF how PA" DAILY takes advantage
of every little twist and angie Of the rae
ing game TO turn an honest dollar.
Under the rules Of racing a horse that
walks over" for a sweepstakes or fixed
event IS only ena,led to half OF the
amount added by the association. No
matter II one. two or three horses start.
Il they are owned and raced IN one inter-
est the financial result IS the same-half
Of the added money and ail OF the sweep
stakes.
When "pa" DAILY icarnci that the vicis-
sltudes Of training had oausol all OF che
trainers to notify the track officials uhat
they would not hc able 10 start against
his l.air, he was overjoyed uatil he read
the rule which cut on half the value OF
The stake; then he was sad.
After pondering over the situation he
finally concluded to sell one OF his horses
20 a friend before the race and TO buy
him back again after tt w0s decided BY
this means. with the horses running IN
two interests. the value Of the race would
be restored.
"Pa" unfolded his scheme TO an ex-ofn-
ciai OF The track and newspaper man.
He said: Judge. Il was to sell Colon
no, lllyria. 20 Jack Bennett before the
race. an of the money would be added,
would it not? Then after the race ! could
buy him back again"
DAILY started TO say Colonsay. but check
d himself when he suddenly remembered
that he was a better colt over a distance
IF ground than Hiyria.
The ex-ofhoial warned DAILY not 20 make

With ahe stewards. But "Pa' was ohdur-
ate. and said; why, John Madden sold
The Minwteman al Saratoga 90 Tommy
Griffin FOR a race and then bought him

The Judge then told the old man Of The
surf that the cases were not similar; that
rhe Mlnuteman only won a maiden over
night race. and showed such great form
hat Madden was glad 10 get him back
/ again IN his stall.
