BUILDING FOOD


To Bring the Babies Around.
When a little human machine Cor
large one) goes wrong, nothing is so
important as the selection Of food to
bring it around again.
my little baby boy fifteen months
old had pneumonia, then came brain
fever, and no sooner had he got over
these than he began to cut teeth and,
being so weak, he was frequently
thrown into commissions" says Col.
Orado mother.
: II decided a change might help, so
took him to Kansas City for visit.
When we got there he was so very
weak when he would cry he would
sink away and seemed like he would
die.
When reached my sisters home
she said Immediately that we must
feed him Grape-Nuts and, although !
had never used the food, we got some
and for q few days gave him just the
Juice Of Grape-Nuts and milk. He
got stronger 80 quickly we were soon
feeding him the Grape-Nuts itself and
in a wonderfully short time he fat
tened right up and became strong and
wen.
''That showed me something worth
knowing and, when later on my girl
came. / raised her on Grape-eJuts and
she Is a strong healthy baby and has
been. You win see from the little
photograph send you what q strong,
chubby youngster the boy is now, but
he didn't look anything like that be-
fore we found this n6urlshing food.
Grape-Nuts nourlshed him back to
strength when he was so weak he
couldn't keep any other food on his
stomach" Name given BY Postum
Co, Battle Greek, Mich.
All children can be built TO q more
sturdy and healthy condition upon
Grape-Nuts and cream. The food con.
tains the elements nature demands.
FROM which to make the soft gray

CONCERNING CLOCKS.

Never allow the clock to run down.
It responds to regular attention Just
as surely as a human being does and
keeps its course truly when made to
follow its endless routine.
The hands of clock should always
be turned forward. To set the hands
by reversing the right-hand motion is
to loosen delicate screws that hold
them within reach of various cog
slips.
Never allow the clock to be novel
from the position where It is well bal
anced. A deviation of two OF three
minutes a day from the correct time
may be the result of an uneven
placing of the clock, and once it is
properly adjusted it should not be
shifted for busting or for artistic pur-
poses. This is especially true Of
clocks that have a pedulum.

DIETARY D1cTA.

Dinner should be Of a lighter nature
in summer than in winter.
. A quart Of wheat contains more nu-
triment than q bushel of cucumbers.
There is a happy mean between eat
ing everything and being squeamish.
Two pounds Of potatoes contain as
much nutriment as 10 pounds Of
turnips.
Light soups, light desserts and light
meals should have the preference in
warm weather.
Vegetables and fruits are to be used
most generously at that season OF the
year in which they naturally mature.
Beginning the dinner with soup Is
the very best way to get the whole
system in condition for assimilating
q hearty meal.

COLE IS DEAD

Portland, Ore, Dec. George e.
Cole, formerly territorial governor of
Washington and also a representative
in congress in early days, died sudden
ly in the rooms at the Oregon hotel.
The old man was ON his annual pill
grimage to California, and was regis
tered at the hotel from Fairfield, Wash.
He stopped over night in this city to
call on his old friend, DR.. ]. r. Card
we'll, and telephoned him Sunday even
ing of his intention to call. DR. Card
well was alarmed at the nonappearance
of his old friend and called up the
hotel, inquiring the reason for his alb
sence, for the local man thought some-
thing may have happened to Cole on
account of his afiiiction and old age.
According to DR.. Cardwell, Cole has
been a sufferer from paresis for some
time, and it was on this account that
he visited California each year in the
winter season.
The inquiry of the doctor caused the
hotel people to commence an investiga-
ton, which resulted in the finding of
the body in recumbent position near
the window. 1t is presumed that the
aged man, feeling an attack coming ON
had tried to reach the open window in
order to breath the fresh air, and was
stricken with fatal attack before he
could secure the desired relief.
George 4. Cole was territorial gov
ernor of Washington in 1866, and later
represented the territory in the nation
al congress. He was one of the most
widely known and best liked of build
ers of this great section of the country.
DR.. Cardwell states that the old man
has been failing fast i'm recent years,
and was at the time of his death almost
totally blind. The deceased was the
author 70 several works on early pio-
neer days in the Northwest.

TEXAS TRAIN is ROBBED.
Express Messenger Beaten and Hurled
Off Train.

Redwater. Tex, Dec. 3.-The express
car attached to train No. of the Cot
ton Belt route. was robbed and Elk
press Messenger w. A. Grissip hurled
from the moving train after having
been beaten and badly wounded by the
robbers. The robbery, 1t is believed,
occurred about a mile from this place,
but was not discovered until the train
reached Eylau, the next stop. The ex-
press messenger vas found beside the
track, badly hurt, and showed indica-
lions of desperate fight. The robbers
escaped.
That the robbery was successful is
evident so far as a hasty inspection Of
the car and its contents would indicate,
but the amount stolen is not known.
At Eylau Conductor Blair, who was
in charge of the train, saw that the
door of the express car had been
forced, and on entering found it splat-
tered with blood, the messenger miss
ing and the car bearing every appear
ance Of having been looted. The train
men were sent back on hand cars and
Grissip was found. While he is badly
hurt, It is not believed that his injuries
will prove fatal.

Governor Magoon explained to the
members of congress that he consid

prior to its formal PRONUNCIATION so
that they might decide what attitude
hey desired to assume. After all the
facts had been placed before them Sen

realized the decree merely carried out
IN obligation of interest to the peace
commission, but he greatly jeplored
[. believing its effect would be disas-

election of an entirely new congress
whereas the proposed election, which
would result in turning over the gov
arnment to the liberals, would surely
result in a new insurrection the mo

said General Rivera, the United States
had ignored this which was patent tC
