WISE CLERK
Quits Sandwiches and Coffee for Lunch

The noon-day lunch for the Depart
ment clerks at Washington, is often a
most serious question.
For fifteen years." writes one of
these clerks, Il have been working in
one Of the Govt Departments. About
two years ago 1 found myself every
afternoon, with a very tired feeling in
my head, trying to get the days work
OF my desk.
I had heard of Grape-Nuts as a
foor for brain and nerve centres, so
began to eat it instead OF my usual
heavy breakfast, then for my lunch in
stead of sandwiches and coffee.
In very short time the tired feel
ing in the head left me. and ever since
then the afternoons work has been
done with as much ease and pleasure
as the mornings work.
"Grape-Nuts for two meals a day
has worked, in my case, just as ad-
vertised producing that reserve force
and supply Of energy that does not
permit one to tire easily-so essential
to the successful prosecution of ones
life work" There's a reason"

WORK ON CHARTER REVISION

Omces.

At the weekly meeting Of the charter re-

council chamber of the city hall, the boards
previous record for much talk and little
action was broken by the adoption of a
considerable number of proposed amend
ments to the city charter. These were Of a
routine nature, however, the only thing of
Importance that transpired being the de-
cision to recommend that a number of city
offices that are now appointive be made
elective.
If the boards recommendations are
needed by the next Legislature, all heads
OF departments in the city government will
be made elective by the provisions of the
new charter. The offices OF city engineer,
electrician, boiler and plumbing inspectors
and health commissioner would thus be
changed from appointive to elective.
In this connection 1t was decided Ia
recommend that the position Of city prose
cutor be abolished, the prosecutors duties
to devolve upon a third assistant city at

His methods were seemingly painful but
he gave to science a work which won the

Science penetrated to secrets of nature.
Prof. Pawlow saw animals digest food
He analysed juices from every part of the

laid him down gently on a platform. the
party, including Mrs. her nus
band and the "other man followed or
walked along with Vic Fuller and his load
and were with him when he laid Hubbard
down. The entire party then went to the
Bloomberg home at sos North Eighteenth
street, leaving Hubbard in the alley. Later
when Vic Fuller took off his coat he
discovered that his shirt front and the
waistband of his trousers were bloody
and he took off his shirt. Mrs. Bloomberg
subsequently washed the shirt for Fuller.
They concluded that the blood came from
Hubbard, though none of them went out to
ascertain how badly he was hurt; in fact
they paid no further attention to Hibbard
at all. Fuller has since left Omaha. Mrs.
Bloomberg claims that she does not know
