NEVER TIRES
OF the Food That Restored Her to
Health.

my food was killing me and | didn't
know the cause" writes a Colo. young
lady. For two years I was thin and
sickly, suffering from indigestion and
innammatory rheumatism.
81 had tried different kinds Of diet,
plain living, and many Of the remedies
recommended, but got no better.
Finally, about five weeks ago,
mother suggested that l try Grape
Nuts, and l began at once. eating 1t
with a little cream or milk. A change
for the better began at once.
To-day l am well and am gaining
weight and strength all the time. I've
gained 10 lbs. in the last five weeks
and do not suffer any more from indi.
gestion and the rheumatism Is all
gone.
:" know 1t is to Grape-Nuts alone
that | owe my restored health. | still
eat the food twice a day and never tire
of It," Name given by Postum Co.,
Battle Creek. Mich.
The flavor OF Grape-Nuts is peculiar
to itself. 1t Is neutral, not too sweet
and has an agreeable, healthful quai.
ity that never grows tlresome.
One of the sources OF rheumatism
is from overlooking the system with
acid material, the result Of imperfect
digestion and assimilation.
AS O o as improper food is aban-
doned and Grape-Nuts Is taken regu-
larly, digestion Is made strong, the Or
gans do their work Of building up good
red blood cells and OF carrying away
the excess of disease-mak.ng material
from the system.
The result is a certain and steady
return to normal health and mental
activity. There's a reason" Read

/ guments by keeping in touch with tho
various temperance publication sooie-
ties tnd securing a plentiful supply OF
current temperance literature for cir
culation among their scholars.
Another scheme suggested by Pro-
| fessor Goldey was that the teachers

WATERBURY, Conn. Feb. 2O.-
Forty young men in this city have
formed a Lenten club to enforce piety
for the next forty days. They will
meet on Sunday and Tuesday evenings.
Court will be held, with a presiding
judge. James Kelly, whose associates
are William Cronin and Patrick Reil-
ly. For every conviction for flirting
blasphemy or lying the fine Is cents,
which goes into the clubs treasury.
William Dunphy Is president OF the
club and William AicGuiness secretary.
It was not because the youths were
not leading righteous lives that the
moral club came into existence; it was
a voluntary effort on the part Of the
Young men, who believe that their ex-
ample will be followed by many others.
The court sessions promise to be
very interesting. Any member OF the
moralists may bring charges against
a fellow member il he has good testi-
mony to substantiate his charges. The
organization OF the club is said to be
the result of some pointed sermons on
morality by Catholic clergymen. The
girls some time ago organized a White

CONRAD'S FIRST
YEAR AT END
Business Done at POStOffiCe
During Past Twelve Months
Largest in Its History
FORCE CRAMPED FOR ROOM

One year ago to-day Postmaster
Henry c. Conrad assumed charge OF
the local postoffice, having succeeded
William II. Head. That he has made
a capable official during the period Is
the opinion Of all those connected with
his department. He has given the af-
fairs Of his office his personal atten-
ton and though an attorney with an
extensive practice, he can be seen most
any time at his desk in the postoffice.
Need Of More Room.
The business done at the local post
office during the year was the largest
in the history Of the office, and the
force now employed in that branch of
the government service here is much
cramped for room. More space is now
needed. and 1t is only a question OF
a short time when an addition will
have to be made to the present build
ing.
During the year six regular carriers
and two clerks were added to the force
and one or two new sub-stations were
opened. Tons OF mail matter were
handled, and on special occasions, such
as Christmas ana St. Valentines Day
the available force could hardly cope
with the situation. Mails in conse-
quence were delayed, but as quickly as
possible Postmaster Conrad and hi.
able assistant, NJ. Howard Jester, man.

lated on their excellent services.
