"SuM INFER FOOD

hA
Many people have tried the food
Grape-Nuts simply with the idea Of
syoiding the trouble of cooking food in
the hot months.
All Of these have found something be-
side the ready cooked food Idea, for
-4rapeNuts Is a scientific food that tones
up aud restores Q sick stomach as well
as repairs the waste tissue in brain and
nerve centers.
For two years / had been q sufferer
from catarvh Of the stomach due to i'm
proper food, and to relieve this condition
l had tried nearly every prepared food
on the market without any success until
six months ago my wife purchased a boy
of Grape-Nuts, thinking 1t would be a
desirable cereal for the summer months.
. I'VE soon made q discovery, we were
enchanted witch the delightful flavor Of
the food, and to my surprise I began to
get well My breakfast now consists Of
. little fruit; four ~teaspoonfuls of
Grape-Nuts; a cup Of Postum, which !
prefer to coffee; graham bread or toast
and two boiled eggs. l never suffer the
least distress after eating this and my
stomach Is perfect and general health
fne.s Grape-Nuts is q wonderful prep
n~ration. 1t was only a little time after
starting on 1t that wife and I both felt
stronger. This has been Our experience.

a world Of fun out OF II, and met a seri-

The night before the reunion opened up
a great many strangers who had not made
arrangements In advance were forced to
lodge anywhere they could get foot room
for the night. 1 had probably a dozen
countrymen IN my place, 1t was all right.
We didn't mind 1t at all. But when the
time rolled around to clean up, along
about the time that the east was getting
gray, / was confronted by u problem. All
the Old fellows were asleep. They were
sleeping In chairs, on kegs and any other
old place they could rnd. l had to wax

ing TO watch the old fellows stir, stretch
their limbs, rub their eyes, yawn. get up,
walk TO the door, and look toward the
east. My experiment was a success, and
l have been growing every morning since
that time, because five or six Of the old
fellows slept in my place every night
while the city was crowded. I never had
to crow but two or three times to wake
them up. OF course, l would conceal my
self so they couldn't get on to the decep-

Alden Anderson will announce his con
mittees when the Senate convenes to-
morrow morning The ones who will
draw the capital prizes are fairly well
known tonight despite the distracting
features Of the inaugural ball Social
functions could not entirely eclipse the
struggle for place, and in the midst of the
giddy whirl there was even still the fight
for legislative leadership.
Senator Robert T. Devlin of Sacramento
is regarded as certainty for the head of
the Committee on Finance of the Senate,
he having distanced his competitors from
other counties, The Corporation Com
mittee, which ranks next in Importance,
seems to be in the hands of Senator Louis
Oneal of San Jose. Charles NJ Short
ridge, the political side partner of Sem
ator OneaI. Will head his old Committee
on Commerce. which he controlled during
the last session. Thomas Flint, Jr.,
President pro tenn. of the Senate, will be
another old-timer who will head his old
Committee on Contingent Expenses. The
Committee on Drainage and Overlooked
Lands will this year have Senator J. ].
LuchSinger of Solano County for it's
head. This committee will have great
deal of work to dispose of, for river i'm
provements will be a very considerable
item in the expenditures of the present
Legislature.
State Hospitals and Reformatory Insti-
tutions will be headed by Senator Muen-
ter of San Joaquin. This will be an i'm
portant committee during the present ses-
sion. The Judiciary Committee will be
in the hands of Lukens of Alameda John
r. Tyrrell of Nevada will probably head
the Committee on Mines and Mining
though Senator BeIshaw of Contra Costa
was offered the place. 1t seems probable
that Belshaw will take his old committee
of Prisons and Reformatory Institutions,
in which case Tyrrell of Nevada will have
charge OF Mines and Mining. Senator
Pendleton of Los Angeles will head the
Committee on Rules during the session.
John @. Tyrrell of San Francisco has the
inside for the Committee on Public Nor
ais. which is regarded as a particularly
desirable committee in case any general
trouble arises.
Senator Leavitt of Alameda was Of
