CHANGE IN FOOD
Works Wonders in Health.

It is worth knowing that a change
in food can cure dyspepsia. II deem
1t my duty to let you know how
Grape-Nuts food has cured me Of in
digestion.
"I had been troubled with It for
years, until last year my doctor rec
commended Grape-Nuts food to be
used every morning. I followed in
structions and now I am entirely we'll.
"The whole family like Grape
Nuts, we use four packages week.
You are welcome to use this testi-
monial as you see fit."
The reason this lady was helped
by the use of Grape-Nuts food, is that
it is predigested by natural processes
and therefore does not tax the stom-
ach as the food she had been using;
it also contains the elements required
for building up the nervous system.
If that part of the human body is in
perfect working order, there can be
no dyspepsia, for nervous energy rep
resents the steam that drives the en-
gine.
When the nervous system Is run
down, the machinery of the body
works badly. Grape-Nuts food can
be used by small children as well as
adults. 1t is perfectly cooked and
ready for instant use.

Artificial ResperatIon.

Lay the patient on the back, with a
pillow or roll or coat or any garment
under the shoulders so as to allow the
head to fall back Then kneel at the
head of the patient, grasp the arms
by the elbows across the stomach, rails
ing them over the head to perpendicu-
lar position. Draw them backward
straight, then forward to the sides
again, pressing the arms on the lower
part of the ribs and side so as to pro-
duce a bellows movement on the lungs.
DO this for sixteen or eighteen times
a minute. Camphor, smelling salts or
ammonia may be applied to, the nostrils
to excite breathing and the limbs
should be rubbed briskly upward. As
the patient reviyes, hot stimulating
drinks may be administered as. stimu-
lants. If brandy or whiskey is used,
anywhere from two teaspoonfuls to
four tablespoonfuls in hot water is con-
sidered the proper proportion.-Wash-

FOR TRIAL
idaho Miners Arraigned on the
Charge of Murder
HAYWOOD CASE BEGAN FIRST
Defense Motion For Bill of Particu-
lars Overruled, Judge Declaring It
Game Too Late -Moyer, Pettibone
and Orchard, Charged Jointly With
Haywood for Murder of Former
Governor Stuenenberg, Will Be
Tried as Circumstances Dictate.

Boise, Idaho, Specially oyerrul-
ing the motion of the defense for a
bill of particulars setting forth what
overt acts, if any there were, to con-
meet the accused with the murder Of
former Governor Frank Stuenenberg,
Judge Fremont Wood, of the District
Court of Adair county, cleared the
way for the trial OF William D. Hay
wood, secretary Of the Western Fed
Grafton of Miners.
Judge Wood held that the request
of Haywood's counsel for a more ex-
picit statement of the charges
against the prisoners at an early stage
of the proceedings. In cases where
bills Of particulars are allowable,
Judge Wood, who is to preside over
the trials of the accused miners, de-
cIared the motions be made before
the indictments are pleadede to and
before the cases are set for trial.
Haywood is the first of four men
accused Of completely in the
muder of Stueneneberg, to be
tried. The others, Meyer, Petit
bone and Orchard, the last of
whom is said to have made confes-
sion, will be tried as circumstances
dictate, following the conclusion Of
the proceedings against Haywood.
The prisoner, his counsel and the
ATTORNEYS especia1ly retained to hand
lie the case and plead the cause of the
accusing State, are ready for the long
ordeal in court. The first, and one of
the greatest tasks of court, is to pro-
cure a jury and that will be COM
menced Thursday morning as soon as
Sheriff Hedgin has intoned the formal
cry, opening the court.
The victim of the Caldwell assas-
sination, long a CONSPICUOUS figure in
the political life Of the State, was
possibly known to hundreds of citi-
zens Of Adair county, and personal
alignment and partisanship on the
labor question in which the prisoner
and his co-defendants were for long
time active leaders, is general, so
that it is difficult task to find men
free from the disqualifcations that
unfit them for the high duty Of juror.
Many men who know the comment,
well, and who add to their calcula-
tion the farther handicap Of appre-
hension of future violence for revenge
take the extreme view that it will be
impossible to get jury, but the
weight of opinion is against this ex-
treme conclusion.
One Of the counsel for the prisoners
says:
s'The broader the scope of. the case
offered by the State, the better we
shall be satisfied"
Nearly 40 correspondents for press
associations and newspapers have
come here to report the case, and
special wire arrangements have been
made for the transmission of the des-
patches.

WHAT MAKES THE SKY BLUE,

WHAT MAKES THE SKY BLUE?
The old question bobs up again.
Why is the sky blue? The Reader
answers:
at is the atmosphere that makes
the sky look blue and the moon yell
low. If we could ascent to an ele.
vation of fifty miles above the earth's
surface, we should see that the moon
is a brilliant white, while the sky
would be black, with the stars shin
ming as brightly in the daytime as
at night. Furthermore, as a most
picturesque feature of the spectacle,
We should take notice that some OF
the stars are red, others blue, yet
others violet, and still others green
in color. OF course, all of the stars
(f we bar the planets of our own
system) are burning suns, and the
hues they wear depend upon their
temperature. The hottest. stars are
blue. Thus Vega, in the constellation
Lyra, is blue sun, hundreds of times
as large as our own solar orb. We
are journeying in its direction at the
rate of millions of miles day, and at
some future stime 1t may gobble US
all up. For, after all, humiliating
though the confession be, our sun is
only a very small star-of the sixth
magnitude, or thereabout-and Of an
Importance in the universe 80 slight
as to be scarcely within the pale of
respectability."

1t Is very necessary 10 learn how
to rest properly. DO not Insist that
change Of occupation is rest; there is
no greater delusion. To acquire pers
feet rest, settle yourself in cor
ner, arrange your feet and arms, and,
indeed, your whole body, until You
feel comfortable from head to foot.
Sit in this position for five min
utes, motionless. Don't move, don't
do anything, but take long; chest-de-
veloping, easy breaths. Whether you
close the eyes or leave them open
does not matter, but don't move.
At the end of five minutes you will
feel very much rested. If it is pos
sible, take these rest treatments two
or three times a day. At any rate,
force yourself to observe the treat
ment at least once every day. You
will be surprised at the amount CT
good 1t will accomplish for you.
The nervous woman who feels lu-
clined to scream if the door bangs or
any one drops fork, the girl who
is not in the least cross, though all
her family think she is, but who can
not help being irritable needs ten
minutes of absolute relaxation at
least once a day in quiet, darkened
room. She is simply overworked and
rundown victim of nerves.
On nervous days, when you feel
like flying out Of the window, when
from sheer irritability, stand erect
hands clasped in front and head bow
ed, having expelled all the breath
from the lungs. Now slowly lift the
head and shoulders until the head
is very erect and inhale deeply
through the fnostrils.
This exercise will, in few minutes,
cause the nervous feeling to COM
pletely subside, and, incidentally, is
an excellent way Of reducing a double
chin.-New Haven Register.
