MANY SHOTS; NO ONE HIT.
Encounter Between Deputies and
Strikers Was BIOOdIess.

Trinidad, Col, Dec. 9.-While num-
Der of deputies and clerks were driving
from Berwind to Tobasco to-day, they
were fired upon by several men hid
behind rocks and brush. The deputies
and clerks jumped from the wagon and
returned the fire. The shooting con-
tinued at intervals for thirty minutes,
though no one was injured.
Sheriff Clerk and posse were prepar-
ing to leave for the scene on a special
train when word was received that
reinforcements of guards had arrived
from Tobasco, half a mile away, and
the ambush party fed. No arrests
were made.
The trouble is said to have originated
when a miner came into the mine Of
flee at Berwind and became very abus-
i've. He was kicked out by a deputy
and it is though THAT he stirred up
his friends to start the difficulty.
The relations between the miners
and guards at Segundo are still strain
ed, and trouble is expected there at any
time.

MEMORY MENDING.
What Food Alone Can Do for the
Memory.

Memory.
The influence of food upon the brain
and memory is so little understood
that people are inclined to marvel at
It.
Take a person who has been living
on improperly selected food and put
him upon a scientific diet in which the
food Grape-nuts is largely used and
the increase of the mental power that
follows is truly remarkable.
A Canadian who was sent to Col
orado for his health illustrates this
point in a most convincing manner:
zone wear ago l came from Canada a
nervous wreck, so my physician said,
and reduced in weight to almost
skeleton and my memory was so poor
that conversations had to be repeated
that had taken place only a few hours
before. I was unable to rest day or
night for my nervous system was
shattered.
"The change of climate helped me a
little but il was soon seen that this
was not al; that / needed. 1 required
the proper selection of food although
/ did not realize it until a friend re-
commended Grape-Nuts to me and
gave this food a through trial. Then
I realized what the right food could
do and | began to change in my feel
ings and bodily condition. This kept
up until now after months use of
Grape-Nuts all my nervous trouble
has entirely disappeared, have gained
in flesh all that / had lost and what
is more wonderful to me than any
thing else my memory is as good as
IL ever was. Truly Grape-Nuts has re-
made me all over. mind and body.
