Novelty of the Season.

Among the seasons novelties is an
insane horse. The surprise Is that
this particular animal hasn't docked
tall. One could understand the agony
Of mind a horse without tail must
suffer in the heat, with green flies
biting him to death. but this animal
goes crazy at night. when the sun and
files have gone. He insists on stand
ing on his head In thrifty vegetable
gardens and reversing the natural or
der Of existence, much after the style
Of human beings who are as mad as
March hares. As match for this in.

into the waves. 1t now seeks the beach
and swlms about in the water as

are abnormal: they belong to the sea

HOW MANY OF US?
Fail to Select Food Nature Demands
to Ward Off Ailments.

Ky. lady, speaking about food,
says: Il was accustomed to eating
all kinds of ordinary food until, for
some reason, Indigestion and nervous
prostration set in.
After had run down seriously my
attention was called to the necessity
OF some change in my diet, and dis
continued my ordinary breakfast and
began using Grape-Nuts with a good
quantity of rich cream.
In a few days my condition
changed in remarkable way, and I
began to have strength that 1 had
never been possessed of before, a
Vlgor OF body and a poise of mind
that amazed me. 1t was entirely new
IN my experience.
MY former attacks of Indigestion
had been accompanied by heat flashes,
and many times my condition was dis
tressing. with blind spells of dizziness,
rush of blood to the head and neural
gic pains in the chest.
Since using Grape-Nuts alone for
breakfast have been free from these
troubles, except at times when have
indulged in rich, greasy foods in
quantity, then I would be warned by
a pain under the left shoulder blade,
and unless needed the warning the
old trouble would come back, but
when 1 finally got to know where
these troubles originated 1 returned
to my Grape-Nuts and cream and the
pain and disturbance left very quickly.
I am now in prime health as re-

that when one party had enough an

one evening, and after two relays had

with much satisfaction that Smith

ton of the state Of Colorado, and we
believe that its action in assuming 1u-
risdictlon in the election cases OF 1914,
and in the subsequent punishment OF
the offenders under the election laws,
has met with the approval of all good
and law-abiding citizens, and will have
a lasting influence upon the integrity
of the ballot in all future elections.
"The Republican Supreme Court OF
this state upheld the right and duty OF
the state government to maintain
peace and good order throughout the
limits of the commonwealth in the
Meyer case.
at also held that the people were en-
titled to fair and honest elections In
the Big Mitt cases; these two decisions
have proved more beneficial to all the
the coed people Of Colorado than any
other acts ever done by any govern
ment agency, and as time goes on their
value will be more and more clearly
recognized by all intelligent observ.

Lay FEVER is endemic catarrh. It

stance in the atmosphere during the
late summer months 1t is generally
thought that the pollen of certain weeds
and flowers is the cause of it.
Change of locality seems to be the
only rational cure. The use of Peruna,
however, stimulates the nervous system
to resist the effect of the poisonous
emanations and sometimes carries the
victim through the hay fever season
without an attack of the disease.
A large number of people rely upon
Peruna for this purpose. Those who
do not find it convenient to change
their location to avoid Hay Fever,
would do well to give Peruna a trial.
