 The men were unable to give a sat isfactory explanation of their business or movements and are strangers in that section. It was further learned that when seen near that city on the preceding day they were carrying grips and when arrested they had none.
 Citizens are inclined to believe that they are the right men and Postmas- \ ter Russell and the postofffce inspec- tor. who reached the city yesterday. with one or two other prominent citi- gems, drove through the country this afternoon in an automobile for that city.
 it was further developed that the blacksmith shop of FauIk and Son was visited by a stranger the afternoon prior to the robbery and several citi- gems remember to have seen strangers in the city last week whom they de- clare they could easily Identify.

 Liquor Tax Cases,

United States Supreme Court Decides Liquor Tax Cases.
 Washington. April 6.-That the Ken lucky statute, imposing a tax on dis titled spirits in bonded warehouse, does not violate the Federal constitu- ton, was asserted by the Supreme Court of the United States in a de- c:sion handed down today by Justice MoKenna, in the case of J. B. Thomp- son vs. the, Commonwealth of Ken lucky.
 Thompson is the owner of ware house in Franklin County. and he an- tagonized the law on the ground that such institutions, being under Federal control. are not within State jurisdlc- ton. Hence he argued that for the Kentucky authorities to tax whisley held in bond is denial of the equal protection of the law, and the taking of property without due process. con- trary to the guarantees under the Fourteenth amendment of the Federal Constitution.
 The Supreme Court of Kentucky up- held the law, and Justice Mex emma g decision affirmed this finding.

Mothers are at their wits

Mothers are at their wits end many times trying to find a safe, nourishing food for the baby that's just been weaned. This is an impor- tant epoch in the little ones life and on securing proper food depends the future growth of the child.
 Grape-Nuts soaked in hot milk, then cooled to the right temperature, with a little sugar, meets the require ments of the newly weaned child in 99 cases out of a 100. perhaps an even hundredl
 Try a teaspoonful, soft ened to 8 paste with a little of the hot milk and then all mixed together-balf a cup full. It's safe because Grape Nuts is made only of wheat and barley and baked from 12 to 16 hours. It's a great food for babies or grown-ups.
