GOOD BREAKFASTS
Start the Day Right.

Breakfast is perhaps the most i'm
portant meal Of the day. Europeans
usually eat very light breakfast.
Many Americans have stomach trou
BILE because they eat too much or food
of not the right sort for the morning
neal. An ideal breakfast is q baked
apple or some other fruit, a dish of
soft boiled egg, slice of hard, crisp
toast and q cup OF Postum Foud-
Coffee.
Leave off all meat hot biscuits, etc.
GrapesNuts and Postum both furnish
the phosphate of potash, together with
other food elements, that go to make
u7 brain and nerve centres as well as
muscle and tissue, and both can be
digested by the stomach of an infant.
1t is the part of wisdom nowadays
to use food especially selected for nour-
ishment, and that can be easily d.
-gested. Ten days trial of this break
fast and you will feel as though you
had Cleaned house"
The exhilaration of bounding health
is worth hundred tines the small
outlay Of time and care In arranging
such breakfast.
A New Jersey woman says she
formerly breakfasted on chops, hot bis
cults and coffee. after such a meal
would have severe pains, and they
would last sometimes far into the
night" She finally determined on y
change In her diet, and had for break
fast only Grape-Nuts food with cream.
and Postum Food Coffee. She says: In
Ia very few days the intestinal trouble
all disappeared. i have regained my
old time weight, lost the irritability
and nervousness. and life takes on 4,
new aspect.
'When / feel little exhausted in
the day l simply drop everything and
stir spoonful OF Grape-Nuts in a lit
tie cream or hot milk, and in ten
minutes l have rcgained my vigor and
freshness"
Grape-Nuts food is best when served
lust us it comes from the package
without any cooking whatever. Tho.
food has already been cooked ten or
twelve hours In the process OF manu-
featuring it. When made IN into pud-i
ldings. pies and other desserts it does
not hurt 1t to be cooked again, but
when served simply as a breakfast food
| 1t should never be cooked On the con-.
Itrary, Postum absolutely must be
Ihoiled IL to 20 minutes before the

There has been some complaint that

measure due to the fact that the rail-

BARBOUR FIGHTS

for Injunction Against Judge

Interesting proceedings are expected

The move Is. of course, made to test
the constitutionality of the act ,sand If
the court holds that 1t is void, it will

appointed.

filed with the Supreme Court, and At

been filed with the appellate court.
alleges that the act is contrary to
section of the Constitution, which
provides that tho Legislative, execu-
tive and judicial departments of the
State should be separate and dis
tinct."
He also says that it is contrary to
section 80 of the Constitution. which
provides that except as hereafter pro-
vided, the Legislative, executive and
judicial departments shall be separate
and distinct, so that neither shall ex-
ercise the powers properly belonging
to either of the others, nor any per-
son exercise the power of more than
one of themsa the same time
The petitioner therefore insists that
the statute (pages 251-2, Actsaof AS
sembly l9o6) ''confers no warrant or
jurisdiction" on Judge Grlmsley to
make such appointments. Other tech
meal points are also raised, but the
foregoing embodies the gist of the
bill.
