A Judae Commends Pure Food.

A judge of a Colorado court said:
NEARLY one year ago Logan the use Of
Grape Nuts as n food Constant con-
fncment indoors and the monotonous
grind of office duties had so weakened
and impaired my mental powers that |
felt the imperative need of something
which neither doctors nor food special
lists seemed able to supply
"A weeks use of Grape-Nuts twice
each day convinced me that some I'M
usual and marvellous virtue was con-
tanned therein. My mental vigor re-
turned with astonishing rapidity; brain
WEAKNESS (from which l had constant
ly suffered quickly disappeared; clear
ness of thought and intellectual health
and activity which l had never prev
iously known were to me the plain re-
suits of a few months use of this food.
Enthusiastically 1 commend Grape
Nuts as the most remarkable food pre-
paration which science has ever pro-
duced so far as my knowledge and ex-
nerience extends" Name and address
furnished by Postum Co., Battle Creek,
Mich.
The judge is right. Grape Nuts food
is n certain and remarkable brain
builder and can be relied upon. There's
a reason.

Sunday Night, at Lawrence.
Henry BeIanger Alleged 10 Have
Killed Him in Drunken Frenzy.
BerIaneer's Wife and Sister Witnesses
of the Deed.

Lawrence. Mass, May 7.-Chryso-
logne NORM, aged 80 years, who resided

death on Lowell street near the cornar
of Broadway about $50, tonight His
alleged assailant, Henry Belanger, of
lis Broadway, is now locked up at the
police station, upon the charge of man
slaughter.
This afternoon and evening, Norm,
Belanser, Julia Sevigne and Frank
Gagnon were having a soiree' at 1S2
Lowell street. and had something to
drink Early in the evening, Belanger
left the house. taking with him the
wOman's shawl. AT o'clock, he had
not returned and NORM and Gagnon
started out in quest of the shawl. They
called at Belanger's house, but were
told that Belanger had not got home.
They then started back for 1S2 Lowell
street, and a short distance east of
Broadway on Lowell street, they saw
Belanger struggling with two women
at the entrance of an aileyway. He
was evidently trying to get away from
the women who We're holding him.
When NORM got opposite the entrance
to the allevway Belanger broke away
from the women, and, rushing at Mo-
rin. knocked him down, it is alleged
with a blow from his clenched hand.

when. it is alleged, Belanger knocked
him down again and before he could get
upon his feet dealt him another heavy
blow with his fist. The two women,

Norm the fourth, and final blow. NORM
fell heavily upon the sidewalk and
never arose again. He died a short
While later while being carried to his

ON WAR FOOTING.
Portland to Be the Scene of Ex-
tensive 0 Operations.
About so Warshps and $500 Land
Force to Be Engaged.
Most Elaborate Maneuvres Yet At
tempted on the Coast.

Washington, May 17-POrtland, Me-
ration for the joint army and navy
maneuvers. this summer, which Will
center around Portland harbor. The
joint maneuvers, this year. will b."
much more elaborate and comprehcn-
sive than the preceding ones and will
represent as closely as possible the con-
ditions of actual warfare.
There will be no picnic connected with
the realistic drill. 1t will be business
all the way through and the most bene-
fetal results on the army and navy and
the volunteers are anticipated.
Portland was selected as the scene of
the struggle on account OF the strategic
value of its harbor in q war with any
European power. The opposing nation
according to the war experts, probably
would try to seize Portland and estab-
fish a base and throw an army across
New England, following the plan of
Gen. Burgoyne in the Revolutionary
war.
The harbOr is defended by Forts Nc
knlcy, Williams and Levitt and Fort
Preble, a mortar battery. There are
four entrances to the harbor. the main
channel being between Forts Levitt and
Williams. The number of entrances
will give the coast artillery a large area
to defend.
Several officers who will take part in
the defence have been sent Portland to
study the surroundings and get things
in shape. Range-finderS will be locat
ed. searchlights established, electrical
| nj I'm ,,1n
ed in the harbor and countless other de-
tails attended to that are necessary to
put the defence in perfect condition.
Within a few days seven companies
of coast artillery, numbering 700 men,
will be ordered to reinforce the 400 men
who now garrison the forts at Port
land. The increased force will soon be
strengthened by q companies and later
the Maine militia, comprising n brigade
of infantry, a Signal Corps and the
Naval Reserves. and the 1st Heavy Ar
tillery of Massachusetts will be called
out. Col. +. G.. Smith will command
the shore forces and will have about
4o0o men under him.
Nearly 30 ships of all classes will par
ticipate in the war game, and for the
first time ships will aid in defending the
harbor. In the maneuVers, last year,
the defences We're confined to the shore
| forces. The ships will be so divided as
to equalZe the forces.
Rear Admiral Coghlan, now in COM
mand of the Caribbean squadron, prob-
ably will command the attacking fleet,
and Rear Admiral Barker will be as
sisted by Rear Admiral Sands, com
handing the training squadron.
There are IS ships in the training
suuadrons, and the coast defence
squad is composed of the second class
battleship Texas and three monitors.
Rear Admiral Barker will have at least
four battleships.

CALLS TO URINATE.
Frequent Calls Prove Kid
neys are Weak. (
KlDNEY-WORT TABLETS CURE
IN VERY FEW DAYS.

lt is natural to pass water three
times day, but many persons who
would scott ut any suggestion that they
are not in the best OF health. find it
necessary to answer natures call six
and sometimes eight or ten times q
day.
TO tell yourself you have a slight
cold in the EidH IS and that it will
cure itselfA is folly A cold always
means Inflammation, whether in the
kidneys or TIE lungs, and if in the kid
neys it is infinitely more dangerous
than in the lungs.
The kidneys cannot cure them
selves. The Inflammation may go
down, but the weakness remains.
Stop the frequent calls.
AT the first backache or persistent
headache or rheumatism examine your
urine for cloudiness, reddish deposits
and high color. and if there is any
suspicion of anything wrong with your
kidneys make immediate use of DR.,
PettingilPs Kidney Wort Tablets.
Thousands of persons beginning to feel
the effects of gradually weakening kid
neys have saved themselves from
Brights disease by this prompt use of
Kidney Wort Tablets.
Carry a little bottle of the Tablets in
your pocket. Don't drink less water
because you have frequent calls to
urinatc. Pure water cannot harm your
kidneys, but alcohol will. Avoid liquid
remedies as you would the plague. The
alcohol such remedies contain to en-
able them TO keep, keeps the kidneys
inflamed.
House physicians in many of the
large hospitals are using the Kidney
Wort Tablets constantly as the one
reliable and perfectly safe kidney rem
edy that does not contain alcohol and
that can be freely given to very young
children for bed-wetting and to the
aged and feeble for bladder and kidney
weakness.
This test tells:
Let your morning urine stand for
twenty-four hours in n glass. Then
if it is milky or cloudy or contains n
reddish, brick-dust sediment, or if par
ticles or germs float about in it, your
kidneys are diseased, and you need
Kidney-Wort Tablets.

COST HIS LIFE.
Capt. 0verton, 18th Cav,
Killed by Insurgents.
CareIessIy Had 0nly Three Men to
Guard Filipino Prisoners.
They Escaped, Killed Him and Wound
cd Two of Men.

Manila, May 17.-Capt. Clough Over
ton of the 18th Cavalry, and Private
Harry NoyeS, who We're killed. May IS,
ut Cucatlan, Minlanao, met their deaths
at the hands of insurgent prisoners
whom they were guarding. Their COM
panion in this duty, Private Partlow,
was wounded at the same time.
Capt. Overton's troops of the 18th
had been scouting in the department
of Misamis, Mindanao, on the trail of
the insurgent Leader Flores. The cav
alrymen captured 80 of Flores follow
ers ana confined them in house at
Suc2tlan. Capt. Overton and three men
remained to guard the prisoners, while
Lieut.. Cameron continued in pursuit
of Flores. The prisoners suddenly
broke out of the house where they
were confined, secured their bolos ana
rushed the four Americans on guard.
After escaping the insurgents gath
cred and renewed the attack on the
Americans. The cavalryman who was
not wounded repulsed the enemy and
defended his dead and wounded COM
panions until the return of Lieut..
Cameron.
Capt. Overton is criticised for hav-
ing kept only three men to guard so
and for having neglected to destroy
the insurgents bolos.
Flores is Il Visayan and the majority
of his followers are Paganos living
in the Msamis mountains.
