A little boy down In n. c. asked his
mother to write an account of how
Grape.Nuts food had helped their fam.
lily
She says Grape.Nuts was first
brought to her attention on a visit to
Charlotte, where she visited the Mayor
of that city who was using the food by
the advice Of his physician. She
says:
They derive so much good from 1t
that they never pass day without
using 1t. While / was there used the
Food regularly. | gained about Is
pounds and felt so we'll that when re-
turned home began using Grape-Nuts
in our family regularly.
my little is months old baby short
ly after being weaned was very i'll
with dyspepsia and teething. She was
sick nine weeks and We tried every
thing. She became so emaciated that
1t was painful to handle her and we
thought we were going TO lose her.
One day happy thought urged me to
try Grape-Nuts soaked in a little warm
milk.
"Well, Il worked like charm and
she began taking it regularly and I'M
provement set in at once. She is now
getting well and round and fat as fast
as possible on Grape-Nuts.
Sometime ago several Of the family
were stricken with LaGrippe at the
same time, and during the worst stages
we could not relish anything In the
shape Of food but Grape-Nuts and
oranges, everything else nauseated us

a Eoine Bird.

An Irishman who wasn't much of a
hunter went out to hunt one day. and
the first thing he saw to shoot at was
a blue jay sitting saucily on the top
of fence. He blazed away at the
bird and then walked over to pick It
up. What he happened to find there
was dead frog, which he raised care
fully at arms length, looking at it with
a puzzled air. Finally he remarked:
well. begobs, but ye was a devil of
a foine looking burd befur Oi blew

STRUCK FOR RIGHTS
PECULIAR CONTESTS THAT HIS.
TORY RECORDS.
Scarcely Glass of Workers Of the
World Has Not at Some Time
Thus Made a Bid for
Its Rights.

The recent strike of the London
music hall artists calls attention to
the fact that there is scarcely a class
Of workers, from actors to execution
ers, from lawyers to beer drinkers.
and from parsons to choir boys which
has not at one time or another as-
serted its rights and avenged its
wrongs in similar way.
Not long ago Spain was the scene of
combined strike of actors through
out its length and breadth, which
arose as sequel to the popular indig-
nation at the election of an undesir-
able Archbishop at Valencia. The po-
lice of Madrid took the extreme step
Of closing the Zar2uela theater and ar
resting several of the actors for sing
ing political songs directed against
the government and the unpopular
prelate. In consequence of this in
dignity the whole theatrical world
arose in arms, and a meeting of the
Spanish Actors association was held,
at which a universal strike and the
closing of all the theaters in the coun-
try were proclaimed.

for his charges, and when at the tri-
hunal Of Sens another Judge thought
fit to reprimand one of the lawyers for
the defense and had him elected from
the court, all his fellow barristers to
man signed protest and announced
their intention never to plead again
before him until he had made suitable
amends for his conduct.

Corridors Swarm With Clerks
When Windows Are Opened for Air

Visitors TO the department who strike
the sixth. seventh and eighth floors
about 1870 o'clock in the morning. or the
middle OF the afternoon, are surprised TO
see the corridors sWarming with the
clerks and other employees. who appar-
entity are out on promenade. Upon in
quiry one will learn, however, that for
about three minutes IN the morning at
the time mentioned, and for about FIVE
minutes in the afternon, all the employees
are required 20 drop their pens and walk
around in the corridors or elsewhere,
while the windows are all thrown open
and the rooms thoroughly aired. This is
a rule put into effect several months ago
by former Auditor McCardy. and IS
probably not in effect anywhere else in
the Government service in Washington.
The employees greatly appreciate the
few moments respite from their labors.
