Have Trouble
 With Your Food? Try Grape Nuts s Perfectly Cooked
 Ready to Serve Delicious and HealthfuI

"The ordinary breakfast cereal cookcdI a few minutes in a half-hearted way will In time weaken the stomach of anybhinsl short of an OK.
 Any preparation of wheat or oats putt into water that is below the boiling point and cooked as mush is usually served, remains pasty indigestible mass. The cells arc tough and unopened. In add'-l ton, the stomach of a person senstiYely constituted refuses to do anything with the pasty mass. It Is sent into the sec ond stomach, the Duodenum, where in consequence of the long time of the first process of digestion, is fermented and soured As an eminent medical man per- tinently states the stomachs of half the people going about the streets are about in the condition of an old vinegar barrel.
 Intestinal dyspepsia is the direct con sequence of such feeding"
 Knowledge of these facts and wide experience in the preparation and use of cereals brought out the product known as Grape-Nuts, manufactured with special reference to having the nitrogenous and starchy parts of the grains, of which the food Is composed. perfectly and scientific ally cooked at the factory, ready for lm- mediate use and therefore not subject to the manipulatlons of any cook, good or bad.
 The starch of the grains, changed to grape-sugar can be seen glistening on the little granules, and gives forth delicate swedish taste, very palatable.
 Children and adults obtain fine re- suits from the use of Grape-Nuts food. It is so perfectly adapted to the wants of the human body and easily digested that many cases are on record of nursing babies being fed very successfully on il. There's a Reason"

HIS COUNSEL JUBlLANT

NEW YORK. March 20.-iIarry X.
Thaw for two hours submitted him
self 10 running fire OF questions from
the three men appointed by Justice
Fitzgerald as commission In lnnacy
10 determine his present state OF mind.
The examination was conducted be-
hind closed doors, and when an adj
journment was taken until Saturday
morning no one connected with the
hearing before the commissioners
would discuss the details OF the In.
quiry.
Thaw went willingly and confidently
before his judges. aud when the two
hours secret session was concluded
his attorneys appeared with smiling
faces and declared they were more
than satisfied with the course OF the
proceedings. District Attorney Ie-
rome hurried away from the criminal
courts building declining absolutely Ia
say one word about the commissions
work.
The most Important feature Of the
days proceedings was the decision ~
the commission to limit the scope ~
its inquiry To- the exact language Of the
statute-to determine solely the ques.
tlon as 90 whether or not Harry Thaw
Is able today 20 understand the nature
OF the court proceedings against him
aud Is able 10 advise his counsel In a
rational manner
District Attorney Jerome announced
90 the members 1T the commission that
all OF the legal experts he had employ.
ell In the ease had advised him that
Thaw Il suffering from n typical case

which the recoverics are limited 20 .

testimony to support this statement.
but the commission waved II aside.
saying that the purpose 81 the inquiry
was very simple one and had Ia do
not with any classification Of mental
diseases. but with the prisoners pres
ent state Of mind rs Judged by laymen.
In laying down this decision the COM
mission confronted the district atior.
ney with the very position he has
maintained In putting Thaw on trial
for his life. Mr.. Jerome contends that
Thnw was suffering from pafanola ON
the night Of June - last when he shot
and killed stanford white. hut he
added that parnnolacs often have
knowledge ~ what they are doing and
that Thaw knew the nature and quail.
~ of his act In killing white and knew
that the act was wrong Thus while
medical experts may determine today
that Thaw Il still suffering from pam.

commission has decided 60 confne u.
self deals solely with Thaw's knowl.

close. Mr.. Hartridge said:
Harry Thnw came out with flying

Of the outcome"
