LENTEN DIET.
A Food More Powerful Than Meat.

A devout Catholic lady. of Washing ton anxious to comply with the re- uuirements of the Church as to diet during Lent and not suffer from insuf- ficient food.-sa
 "As Lent approached last year, l found myself in such a rundown con- dition that I seriously hesitated upon the advisability of abstaining from flesh food. attending early services, etc.. during the penitential season.
 T was very nervous and suffering from a severe mental shock, and felt that I needed all the strengthening properties that my usual large meat breakfasts and hot lunches could give me. And yet I was anxious to keep an exemplary Lent. not only in spir- itual sense, but by also praeticing self denial.
 After thinking it over I concluded to try Grape-Nuts food in place of meat, determined. however. that at the first symptom of increased weakness or distress I would drop it and go back to my old diet I began on Ash We'd nesday to use Grape-Nuts instead of my pre-Lenten meat breakfasts. I ate the food dry. followed by a cup of cocoa or glass of milk. For luncheon again took Grape-Nuts, but this time in the form of a pudding, boiled or baked My dinner was of the usual
 
 character.
 ITO my great joy I found had solved the problem. Tn three weeks I realized that I was not only holding my own. but gaining in the power of enduring fatigue and worry, and at the close of Lent I had gained ten pounds in weight, had a clearer eye and color, a better appetite and dlses- tion than for many months before
 "Nfy vigor, both physical and mem taI has been pronounced ever since. l feel the nervous strain much less, my duties no longer worry me, because I am able to systematize them as only one with a thoroughly rested and viz orous brain can. so that they are more quickly performed, giving me more time for rest, reading and recreation" Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich.

cItv Court.


 At noon today the usual formula was gone through with in the City Court by Hon. O. !. Semmes in organization of the grand jury for the February term of the tribunal. Twenty good men were secured in the following; Douglass McMillan, foreman; Otho c. Lockhart. Robert A. Savage, Thomas J. Young, William H. Martin, James Moreland, Ferdinand Meyer, Louis R. Benz, Frank N. Reese. Stanley Finch, Emanuel Eichold, Jr., George A. Hier- onymous, Samuel c. Neuberger, Finlay McFayden, William N. Ludlow, Clare C. Mechem, Philip l.. Muscat, John ]. Hughes, George A. Jones, Joseph F. McGowin.
 In charging the jury, Judge Semmes, after dealing with law and facts as to returning indictments, laid particular stress upon the enormity of capital crime brought to his notice since the November grand jury adjourned. Dur ing his thirty and odd years on the bench, said Judge Semmes. he had never, in the short time noted, had so many capital offenses brought to his notice. This. he declared, was deplor- able, and he urged upon the grand jury the importance of its duty in mak- ing a complete and exhaustive exam inatlon Into each and all of such cases, as well as the minor ones which would be brought before them.
 Solicitor James II. Webb tonight stated to The Advertiser correspondent. that it would tax the grand jury to the utmost to conclude It's service with in the legal limit of two weeks An evidence of this fact. he said, was that in the first week alone 152 cases were set down for examination and an av- craze of 100 witnesses per diem had to kaFn ho grand jury. For the second week he said the task would not be so great but it would be sufficient to give the grand jury plenty of work.
