stock, more workers were initiated in

enterprise.

YOUNG PHILANTHRoPlsT.
Mason City Child win Help Less For
tunate Ones.


The generous spirit of Harry Jo-
seph, of Mason City, a nephew OF
Fred Hirsch, of this city, is develop
ing at rather early stage in his life
and at his youthful age of six years
he conceived of a most broad minded
philanthropic idea and will carry his
plans to a successful issue on Xmas
eve with the intention of bringing
happiness to the children of many
poor families whom he feared might
be missed by Santa on his hurried trip
through the land. One of the Mason
City papers tells as follows Of the
unique work the lad is doing.
work worthy of mention is being
done by little Harry Joseph, six-year-
old son of Mr.. and Mrs. A. Joseph.
With the plan original with himself
he has started out selling delicious
home made candy, the money he
makes to be saved by him for the
purpose of buying Christmas presents
for the children of the poor. He
indeed should be patronized, for his
work is highly commendable and a
thoughtful one for child so young.
The night before Christmas he will
invite a number of children to spend
the evening with him, at which time
he will distribute the presents that
he will have purchased. Some of the
boys have been rude enough to en-
deavor to snatch his candy from him.
no doubt, not knowing for what good
cause he was putting the money re-
ceived for that which his generous
hearted mother is kind enough to
take time to make, in order that her
little son may accomplish his object
in view"

Gifts For Mother.

Peoria Herald-Transcript Choosing
gifts for mother is almost as difficult
a proposition as getting something that
father has heard of before and knows
how to use. The main consideration,
of course, is to get mother something
which can be borrowed by the entire
family, especially by the giver. Here
are some ideas:
Sealskin sacque-always appropri-
ate. --..-
Pair gum overshoes.
Silver handled umbrella.
Photograph of yourself = If hand
some. ..
Embroidered nuisances of all kinds.
Upright piano-if you are fond OF
music.
Cook book-if she needs it.
Automobile veil.
F. ather buster.
A grandchild.
A hired girl.
Persian rug.
A checking account.
A wastepaper basket.
A darning outfit.
A needle case.

CLUBS And SOCIETY
Enjoyables Occasion In The City's
Homes And Halls.

/ The December meeting OF the Round
Club was held at the Ninde home last
evening and was unusually largely
attended AS prelude to the discus
sion of the evening Miss Catherine
Hyatt rendered two pleasing selec
tions on the piano. Miss Kate Ninde,
| the new president, was in the chair
for the first time and officiated in a
graceful manner. The subject for
discussion was Caves, and DR.. w. s.
Windle started the program with o
most interesting description of his
trip through the Wyandotte cave in
Indiana. This cave has been explor
ed for distance of twenty-five miles
The doctors trip included only about
seven miles, but was filled with uni
que and rough, but in the main most
pleasant experiences. President Rosen'
berger, who had also visited the cave,
supplemented DR.. Windle's talk with
additional descriptions that were a
revelation to many who had not given
the subject special study. The Nam.
moth Cave of Kentucky was discuss
ed in brief, and Dr. Morgan gave
graphic description Of Holstein cave,
in east Tennessee. The next meet
ing of the club will be held on the

IMPROVED MEMORY
And Increased Weight From Eating
 Proper Food.

The memory and other important functions of the brain are greatly in- tiuenced by the condition of the di- gestive organs.
 This may seem strange to persons who do not stop to realize that every new cell in the brain is made up from the food that Is taken into the stom- ach, because every thought wastes cells which have to be replaced by oth- els.
 When the proper food is used and fully digested, so there's no fermenta- tion and poisonous waste manufactur- ed in the body, and the new cells are built in as fast as made up, the brain becomes clear and memory is sure to be improved
 A Michigan woman writes
 Three years ago I was in a very bad condition, nerves so worn the least excitement would cause collapse, and was thin almost to cancellation.
 T tried many changes of diet, but nothing seemed to agree with me; what I ate just remained in my stomach and fermented. Seeing Grape-Nuts food ad- vertised I thought I would try it.
 T began with two teaspoonfuls of Grape-Nuts with milk, and realized that at last had found something I could eat without discomfort.
 "Itwas my main food for some time, and after while I could eat other food without the former i'll effects; the Grape-Nuts seemed to help digestion every way.
 Strength began to return and from 102 pounds, which was my weight when l began Grape-Nuts, I now weigh 135. and consider myself well. With return ing strength, my memory improved greatly. l do not suffer the severe fla tigue used to, or any of the evils that used to be every day occurrences. I eat well, sleep we'll, and am we'll thanks to Grape-Nuts for it all" Name given by Postum Co.,, Battle Creek, Mich, Real the book, 'The Road to Melville" in pkgs. There's a reason

EVANGELISTIC SERVICES.

Growing More Interesting and Impress
 sive Every Evening. at Trinity
 Church.
 The union evangelistic services of the Methodist Episcopal churches which are being held every evening except Saturday at the Trinity church are growing more impressive every even- ing. Last evening there was the lar gest attendance since the opening last week. Rev. Selah w. Brown preached a strong and inspiring sermon on "The Glorious Gospel"
 These meetings are becoming more and more interesting every evening, and there is a growing enthusiasm among the people.
 The services will probably be contin- ued during next week. There are ten churches consolidated in making this bring forth good results, and there seems to be every reason for believing that their energies will be rewarded.

Interesting to Art Lovers.

To-day is positively the last day of the auction sale at the Ford company. The bargains obtained by the patrons of this sale have in many instances been astonishing, for, when the Ford company do anything or decide upon thing, it implies something out of the ordinary.
 To-day, in addition to the regular articles there will be offered some pieces of the old colonial furniture, some rare old books, paintings and wa ter colors, that will interest collectors.
 The head of the house has for years collected old and rare things in the capitals of the OH World, and the pieces offered are of unusual merit, and exceptional value.
 In the evening sale, the orders have been given to the auctioneers to close out every piece of china at any price, rather than remove them to their new premises.
 Great bargains and lively times are expected at this evenings sale.
