Grape-Nuts is the most scientifically

fectly and completely cooked at the fac
tory and can be served at an instant's
notice, either with rich cold cream. or
with hot milk if hot dish is desired.
When milk or water is used, a little
sugar should be added, but when cold
cream is used alone the natural grape
sugar, which can be seen glistening on
the granules, is sufficiently sweet to
satisfy the palate. This grape-sugar
is not poured over the granules, as
some people think, but exudes from the
granules in the process of manufacture,
when the starch of the grains is chang
ed from starch TO grape-sugar by the
process>of manufacture. This, in effect,
is the first act of digestion; therefore,

Father Who Kills Daughters Assault
ant Acquitted.

At Houston, Va, former Judge Will
liam G. Loving of Nelson was acquit-
ted of the charge of murder in killing
Theodore Estes. son of Sheriff NJ. X.
Estes. Judge Loving shot and killed
young Estes on the afternoon of April
%, following buggy ride Estes had
taken with the judges daughter, Miss
Elizabeth Loving, who told her father
that her escort had drugged her.
Judge Barksdale thanked the jurors
for their attendance upon court at
great sacrifices. He declared he be-
lieved the verdict was in accordance
with the conscientious views of the
jurymen. Foreman McCraw, a mer-
chant and farmer, said that on the first
ballot every juryman favored the &C.
quittal of the defendant When asked
what the basis of the verdict was he
said insanity and that he and other
members of the jury believed that
Judge Loving was out of his mind at
the time he killed young Estes. The
stress, he said had been brought on
by the story told him by his daughter.

Manifestly the eXactiOn of such an

Roosevelt and Secretary Root have re

New Metal Called MomeI.

A new metal called momeI, which is
expected to cause something of a stir
in the industrial world, is being pro-
duced at the works of the Canadian
Copper Company at Sudbury, Ont.
1t consists of a compound of copper,
nickel, iron and one or two other min
erals which are found in the district,
and its Importance lies in the fact that
it is much less costly than nickel, is
less liable to rust and will serve all
the purposes that are served by that
metal in the industrial world
The new metal is said to be of equal
ductile strength with nickel and to pos
sess all its other essential qualities, but
it is not claimed that it would serve the
purpose of nickel steel, which is used
as armor plate.
