Eacinu the Enemy.

Two veterans of the civil war were
in the habit of "jollying' each ether
in regard to lack Of valor on the
field of battle.
why" said the one, "at the very
first engagement, when the order was
given to retreat, you were so scared
that you threw down your arms and
ran for dear life"
Nonsense" replied the other.
"That was the time I got the three
flesh wounds in the chest. If I'd been
running away, as you claim, | would
have been shot in the back"
ooh, no, you wouldn't" returned his
friend. "The reason you got shot in
the chest was because you took to
the river and were trying to get away

HAPPY OLD AGE
Most Likely to Follow Proper Eating

AS old age advances, we require less
food to replace waste, and food that
will not overtax the digestive organs,
while supplying true nourishment.
Such an ideal food is found in Grape
Nuts, made of whole wheat and barley
by long baking and action of diastase
In the barley which changes the starch
into sugar.
The phosphates also, placed up un-
der the bran-coat of the wheat, are in,
cluded in Grape-Nuts, but left out of
white flour. They are necessary to
the building of brain and nerve cells.
Il have used Grape-Nuts," writes an
Iowa man, for 8 years and feel as good
and am stronger than / was ten years
ago. l am over IA years old, and at

Among my customers | meet man
every day who is 80 years old and at
tributes his good health to the use OF
Grape-Nuts and Postum which he has
used for the last 5 years. He mikes
Grape-Nuts with Postum and says they
go fine together.
For many years before I began tc

After spending a week at Phoebe. f.

district, especially the Lucky Boy, of
which he is president, and the Pioche-

BINGHAM NEW HAVEN.
Company Now Marketing One Hun
drcd Tons of Ore Daily.

Without attracting any attention
whatever, General Manager Charles H.
Dooittle of the Bingham New Ha-
ven Mining company, has resumed pro-
duction again. The mine, when Is
in Bingham. ceased shipments of ore
last December. when the smelters
called on producers TO slow down. In
the meantime. development work has
been going on steadily with the re-
suit that the available tonnage IN
the mine has been very materially in
creased. The physical condition OF
the property was never better than II
Is now, and neither has the mine ever
been quite as well equipped to oper-
ate along the lines OF economy. In
this connection, the opening OF the
lower transportation tunnel which en-
ters the mountain Just above the main
works of the Utah Consolidated mine,
has had much TO do towards lower
ing costs Not only has the necessity
of hosting ore been entirely eliminated,
but II is no longer necessary to haul
coal and other supplies up "A steep and
dangerous grade, one that has been
responsible for the death OF many dumb
brutcs. In winter, this road was often
imuassible and greatly handicapped the
mining company In making progress.
The aerial tramway has been short
ened about 1900 feet. leaving the pres
ent length 5000 feet, TO conform to the
requirements OF the transportation tun-
mel. Like other mining companies
operating in bingham. steam power
has been supplunted by electricity at
the Bingham New Haven, so In the
future there will be no fuel problem
to worry about.
The mine Is producing about 100 tons
of ore per day and Is brought down
from the mouth ~ the tunnel TO the
receiving bins located down from the
mouth OF the tunnel to the receiving
bins located on the Copper Belt rail-
road track and only short distance
above the new Yampa compressed
plant. The bingham New Haven ores
contain values in gold, silver lead and
copper.
