BOTH GAINED.

Man and Wife Fatten ON Grape-Nuts.
The notion that meat is necessary for
real strength and the foundation OF
solid flesh is now no longer as preva-
lent as formerly.
Excessive meat eaters are usually
sluggish part of the time because they
are not able to fully digest their food,
and the undigested portion is changed
into what is practically a kind of poi
son that acts upon the blood and nerves.

weighed 90 pounds.
Then l heard about Grape-Nuts and
decided to try it. My wife laughed at
me at first, but when l gained to 125
pounds and felt so fine, she thought she
would eat Grape-Nuts too.
Now she is fat and we'll and has
gained 40 pounds. We never have indi-

desire for meat. A neighbor of ours,
IS years old, was troubled with indi-
gestion for years; was a heavy meat
eater, and now since he has been eating
GrapeNuts regularly, he Gays he is

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot reach
the diseased portion of the ear. There is
only one way to cure deafness, and that is
by constitutional remedies. Deafness Is
caused by an inhamed condition of the mu
cous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube is infamed you have rumblin2
sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is
unless the Inflammation can be taken out
and this tube restored to it's normal condi-
ton, hearing will be destroyed forever;
nine cases out of ten are caused by Ca

POCKET BOOK NEARLY EMPTY.
Mrs. Richard Tell Had Cashed Check
for $50 and Thief Laid Plans
to Get It.

MILWAUKEE, Wis, Dec 10, 1907
Held up by a masked robber who was
armed with revolver, directly in front
of her own door, Mrs. Richard Tell,
1115 Fourth street, was robbed of her
pocketbook containing 80 cents about
7:45 Monday night. Mrs. Tell had just
returned from a grocery store after
making some purchases and was nearly
opposite her home near Hadley street
on Fourth street when suddenly a dark
figure wearing a black half mask APP
peared from behind a tree, and pointing
a revolver at the frightened woman $
head, demanded her money.
Threatened to Shoot.
Give me all you got, and if you
scream I'll blow your head off, said the
unknown robber hoarsely, preparing to
take the pocket book he saw in her
hand by force. Unwilling to invite an
attack, Mrs. Tell handed over the pocket
book, and the man disappeared after
warning her to make no outcry.
Mrs. Tell made her way into her home
and shortly afterwards the police We're
telephoned to and detectives sent tn
scour the vicinity, but no trace Of the
robber could be found. The woman no.

short, his height not exceeding five feet
