The food of childhood often decides

It's just as easy to be one as the

doctor who knew about food can ac-

is willing to help and will eat only
proper food.
Speaking of this cease. the mother
said her little fourSyear-old boy was
suffering from a peculiar arrangement
of the stomach, liver and kidneys, and
his feet became SO swollen he couldn't
take a step. I'VE called a doctor, who
said at once we mlist be very care
full as to his diet, as improper food was
the only cause OF his sickness. Sugar,
especially, he forbid.

the principal food he prescribed was
Grape-Nuts, and the boy, who was
very fond Of sweet things. took the
tirape-Nuts readily, without adding
any sugar. doctor explained that the
sweet in Grape-Nuts is not at all like

sweet OF the grains.)

HIS FOUR UMBRELLAS.
They Excited Suspicion in the Mind of

a Lady in the Car.
Boston Commercial Bulletin: There
is an umbrella story going the rounds
of State street that may interest a wide
circle. A certain brokers wife one
morning not long since gave him four
Of the family umbrellas neatly tied in
a bundl to take down town for re-
pairs and that he might not forget to
bring them home tied a bit of string
in his button hole. Mr.. A. got the
umbrellas to the repair shop all right,
and then forgot all about them.
In the course of the busy day he
had occasion TO go to the office of a
eading lawyer, and OH coming out from
the conference noticed an umbrella
teaning against the wall, which he
promptly annexed and proceeded to
carry out OF The Office, but was stopped
n mid career by an indignant woman,
h claimed the umbrella as her prop
erty. Mr.. A. was quite as firm in in
Sisting that he had brought 1t in, and
pointed triumphantly to the bit OF
string in his button hole as prima facie
evidence. This was not convincing to
the lady, and after a wordy argument
Mr.. A. CAV UP the umbrella in disgust,
only hoping she didn't think he'd steal
an umbrella"
That night on leaving the office he
remembered the family umbrellas in
the repair shop and FASTENED to get
them. The umbrellas secured he board
ed a car at Park street and sat down,
as he discovered to his horror. directly
opposite "the lady of the umbrella"
who was looking at him and his four
umbrellas in a way that a his flesh
creep. There was no escape until the
hex station anyway, and he tried TO
turn his attention to his paper and
ignore the lady. That lady stood 1t as
long as she could; then leaning toward
the crimson hued broker, she said in a
loud and sarcastic .cIe OF voice, with a
whitening look at the umbrellas: II
see you've had a very successful day
after all!".

attention almost exclusively to the
higher circles of Bedford. where two
persons are under suspicion. So
strong do the detectives think the evil
dence is against one of thes men that
they have made the remark openly
that his arrest would follow shortly.

Miners and Operators Still Fer Apart
on Wage Scale.


indianapolis, Feb. 1.-The joint
wage scale committees of mine oper-
ators and miners met this mcrning
and began active discussion of the
demands of the operators and miners,
which are widely separated. ThN out
come of the present con. erence be-
ing watched with keen interest
throughout the country. The men in
volyed say they have no idea what
the issue will be. 1t is understood
here that the operators are more in
earnest ABOUT their demanL for a re-
duction than ever before and that they
will fight for 1t. There is feeling
also that the miners are firm in the
demand for their scale of strictly
run-of-mine basis, fiat difcerential
of Z cents and uniform wa ;e for out
side employment. The battle for the
demands is scarcely begun. The
strenuous fight is to follow. Most of
this takes place in the meetings OF,
the scale committee, here the Ut
most secrecy is maiI 'a:Hed.
More or less appreh nsion is being
shown by both sides. Should 1t hap
pen that no scale can be agreed upon,
1t will mean great strike in the COM
petitive field. The coal companies
representatives declare that unless
there is reduction in wag1s they
can not continue to tperate at profit.
