BACKWARD BABIES.
Their Food Usually at Fault.

When the baby is peeyish and back
ward about walking or talking the food
Will often be found TO be the reason.
THIS can be proved by changing 10
Grape Nuts food for q few days, for this
scientific food viii digest in the weakest
stomach and viii give the proper nour-
ishment for baby building. When our
girl was a tiny baby she had indiges
ton and although we did our best moth
irF seemed TO help her. She was peevish
and would not even try to walk anc
many times would cry aloud and seemed
. be in much pain.
LAS we had buried three children be-
tore you can imagine how we felt TO ser
this little girl wasting away When
she was TWO years old she had d terrible
sick spell and We were very much
CHARMED The doctor said she had sum
n2er complaint and Indigestion and told
Is to use Grape-Nuts. After we had
given her two meals of this food her
Bowels were checked, and in short
time she was completely well and
strong again.
Then we noticed how her mind too
began 20 improve. She had never talked
before. but now she Frightened up and
understood things that were said to her
She laughs all the time instead of cry
ia:g, and now after two years living on
GTape-Nuts she talks well has a SPLEEN
d;d memory, and is as bright and healthy
ard happy a baby as anyone would ever
care to see. l hope some other dis
cCuraged mother Will read these lines
and profit by them Name given by
Postum Co, Battle Creek, Mich.
An excellent way TO prepare for very
young babies is TO take one and one half
tahlespoonfuls of GrapeNuts and cover
with a pint OF cold water. Let it stand
IoI half an hour, strain, and set aside
When ready to use take twelve tea
spconfuis Of the strained Grape Nuts
Juice aud six teaspoonfuls of rich milk
kdc q pinch of salt and a little sugar
warm and feed TO baby every two hours
Grape-Nuts. of course. is food for
everybody. but tiny babies are not ex-
pcctef 10 take the food in the same way
as adults.

On the same charge, William Hawkins
and Thomas A Smith, negroes, who re-
Gently testified for Raymond in his case
against Charles A. Luscome, who was
arrested on the charge OF carrying cor
cealed weapons. were also taken into
custody. The perjury charge is brought
by j. NJ. Wood. editor of a newspaper
known as the East Washington Sun. :"
who was arrested on charges of criuli-
nal libel, preferred by Raymond. Wood
alleges that the trio gave false testi-
mony at the Luscome hearing. Incl
dentally. the latter was exonerated by
jury.
The present tangle had its inception
in the latter part OF April. when. Ray
mond declares, he was attacked by Lus-
come Three times, he says. the latter
snapped a revolver in his face. but the
weapon failed to work. His testimony
at the hearing Was corroborated py
Smith and Hawkins. In commenting
on the outcome of the case, Wood de-
nounced Raymond. His arrest on the
libel charge followed Wood then swore

.INTER-HIGH SCHOOL
DEBATING LEAGUE

A, effort TO form an Inter High School
Debating League, composed OF teams
from the various High Schools OF this
.citv is being made by the students OF
The Central and Business Schools. Both
schools already have promising debating
teams.
The closing exercises OF those two
schools will be held on Monday and
"Wednesday of this week, and those who
are supporting the movement 10 form
the debating league are most sohcitious
of obtaining definite answer from the
her schools before the scholastic year
of 1903 has passed into history. They
hope TO begin business and arrange de-
bates at the very outset of the next
year. If Eastern. western, and Tech
signify their intentions OF joining the
league matters will be greatly facili-
ssated and the organization Will be
more successful one than If they waited
until the beginning OF the new school
year
Central had two debating societies
during the earlier part of this year;
sfhey were the Sophomore and Junior
teams. The former was the more sue
cessful and the Juniors made overtures
TO the "Sophs" and asked for a consoli-
dalton. This was done. anI the joint
society met with more success than ever.
The presidents were Messrs. Van
Week. Gates. Bishop and Wood. They
seerved in the order named. and although
zach of the presidents guided the affairs
Of the society in commendable man
ner, It Is the consensus Of opinion that
President Bishops regime was the most
successful. It is not improbable that he
VII be candidate for the presidency of
the league
The Central Society recently asked the
Embryonic business men TO arrange a
debate to take place at one Of the
schools before the close of the 1905 scho-
fastic year business. after some dis
cussion. finally dropped the project.
The High School cadets wish the sup
Port Of the general public in the move
ment TO form the league, and If tina:
is forthcoming. the league should be
en- firm basis within short while
after the next scholastic year begins.
