Electric Line Commenced.

Word was received in this city to-
day that construction has been COM
mrnced on the electric railroad back
ed by the Hanford ditch interests to
run from Priest rapids, on the Co.
lumbia to Prosser. This is rather
likely to start up lively scrap in the
lower part of the county. The cleo
trio road will have to come through
Rattlesnake gap, and It is understood
that the Columbia River, outlook &
Northeastern railway is desirous of
covering the same route.
Just how important a concern this
latter is 1t is hard to decide. w.
McF. Stewart, who is supposed to be
most of Outlook, is back of it as
president and general manager. 1t
is capitalized at three millions, and is
some day going to run to Spokane,

both roads would make a strenuous
fight for Rattlesnake gap, and there
would be considerable excitement in

CHANGE IN FOOD
Works Wonders in Health.

1t is worth knowing that a change
in food can cure dyspepsia. Il deem
it my duty to let you know how Grape
Nuts food has cured me OF indigestion.
Il had been troubled with it for
years. until last year my doctor rec
commended Grape-Nuts food to be used
every morning. l followed instruc-
tions and now l am entirely we'll
The whole family like Grapefruit
We use four packages week. You
are welcome to use this testimonial a.
you see fit
The reason this lady was helped by
the use OF Grape-Nuts food, is that 1t
is predigested by natural processes
and therefore does not tax the stomach
as the food she had been using: it also
contains the elements required for
building up the nervous system. II
that part OF the human body is in per.
feet working order, there can be no
dyspepsia, for nervous energy repre-
sents 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.
