A WINNING START.
A Perfectly Disested Breakfast Makes
Nerve Force for the Day.

Everything goes wrong If the break
fast lies in your stomach like a mud
pie. What you eat does harm If you
can't digest tit turns to poison.
A bright lady teacher found this to
he true, even of an ordinary light
breakfast of eggs and toast. She
says:
1.-TWO years ago I contracted a very
annoying form of indigestion. My
stomach was in such a condition that
a simple breakfast of fruit, toast and
egg gave me great distress.
Il was slow to believe that trouble
could come from such a simple diet
but finally had to give 1t up, and
found a great change upon a cup OF
hot Postum and Grape-Nuts with
cream, for my morning meal. Fol
more than a year / have held to this
course and have not suffered except
when in~judiciously varying my diet.
Il have been a teacher for several
years and find that my easily digesteo
breakfast leans a saving of nervous
force for the entire day. My gair Of
ten pounds in weight also causes me
to want to testify to the value Of
Grape-Nuts.

The new building is 200 feet long
and GO feet wide and two stories in
height. The jobbing department will
occupy the entire lower floor, while the
Offices will occupy the second floor.

complete stock of mems, boys, youths,

In the western portion of Oroville.
He was awakened by a feeling OF

out, but so tightly was his throat
bound that he could make nc sound.
AS he became fully awake he realized
that something must be done or he
would choke. He grabbed frantically
for his throat and his hand Slipped
over the scales of a huge snake which
had coiled itself around his neck. He
frantically pulled the coils loose, the
reptile resisting him and biting him
In the cheek.
His two companions. awakened by
the noise, came to Feve's rescue. The
two pulled the snake away and threw
1t to the floor, where it glided away
while the men attended to Mr.. Feve's
wound. The reptile was a gopher
