Equal to Fortune Left by '49er.
How many times / have heard my
mother say, laughingly Yes | have t
pay Claribers board, and then have t.
pay her for eating
"As time passed on and / developed
into poor but aspiring typewriter
with no one to pay me for eating)
some years of boarding house fare, hot
rolls tough meat. soggy vegetables
heavy pastry, SKINNED milk Ice cream
all these showed themselves IN dyspep-
sla and crop of unsightly pimples.
Now l think it bad enough to lose
ones youthful contour of face and neat
figure by improper eating, but to afiiict
your friends with a pimpled face and
fabby double chin is to declare oneself
below par and out of the market
You know what that means in case
Of a woman over twenty five!
Something had to be done so tried
the mo breakfast plan until my eyes
showed the injurious effects of hard
work before food put in the stomach
had drawn blood from the brain. When
| did eat had to take so much to get a
little nourishment, and this crowding
showed in bad effects on the kidneys
and stomach, and / would wake in the
morning with pains in the head and hot
eyes. as the children say, with sticks in
them
"One day a good housewife sent me
TO the store for two packa ges of Grape
Nuts which | was to leave at her home
on my way back from work. About Ii
o'clock that morning l felt terribly faint
and knew the signal was flying for a
sick headache, so what did / do but
take one of my friends packages of
Grape Nuts, slit 1t open with a stick
pin and MUNICH about two spoonfuls. LII
one of the '49ers had left me a fortune

Next morning | had a package of
nv own and tip to the waiter brought
a little pitcher of cream with an egg
beaten up in it. and pouring this over
the Grape Nuts | had a delicious little
dish that kept me sustained and strong
and vigorous until my ? o'clock lunch,
Notwithstanding five hours hard work
at the typewriter. Grape Nuts has been
my breakfast since that time, and note
the result
brain is strong and vigorous. skin
and complexion are clear, headaches
gone and that terrible heavy sensation
of the body had disappeared.

FURNACE RESUMES
 AT ROBERTSTOWN
NO. 3 OF THE TENNESSEE COM PANY IS PUT IN BLAST AFTER A sUsP -NsIoN OF ONLY TWO MONTHS

Bessemer, October 3.-(Special )-After being closed for over two and a half months, Furnace No. 3 of the Tennessee company at Robertson was put into blast today, and tonight this furnace is mak- ing its runs, turning out iron in large quantity. Fifty additional coke ovens were relighted, making over $50 ovens that the company has in operation at Bessemer.
 The other three furnaces are being got ten in shape for resumption and one more will probably be relighted before this week expires. As the coke ovens are mak- ing coke in large quantities the company. 1t is states, has a sufficient amount to keep them in operation continuously. The furnaces will doubtless be placed in blast as fast as the men to operate them are procured.
 The company, 1t Is understood, has raised the wages of the coke pullers from 36 cents per ton to 40 cents per ton. The pay days will in the future be monthly.
 The greater part of the coal that is be- ing consumed by the Robertson coke ovens is coming from the Blue Creek district. where the Tennessee company is reported as having a large number of miners working in the mines.

IS CHARGED WITH
 STABBING MINER
ROBERT HALL IS TAKEN FROM CARBON HILL TO JASPER AND DEFENSE.

Jasper, October 3.-(Special )-Robert Carbon Hill was brought to Jasper this morning and lodged n the county jail on a charge of having stabbed 0 coal miner named Posten to death at Carbon Hill Saturday night. It Is reported that Hall and Posten were together and had been drinking during the afternoon, and diff fculty is said to have arisen between them over fifty cents which Posten al- legged he had given to another man to ouy some whiskey, and which 1t Is claimed he had accused Hal. of taking from the other man. Hall confessed to the mur- der, but claimed that he did it in self defense. This theory Is not believed to be true, as when Posten was found the next morning his knife was in his pocket and showed no signs of having been used Hall claimed that Posten was cut tIng at him.
