BRAIN POWER

A lady writer who not only has done

for brain work and to develop healthy
children. . She writes:
Il am an enthusiastic proclaimer of
Grape Nuts as a regular diet. / for

and for eight years while nursing my
four children, had insufficient nOurish-
ment for them.
Unable TO eat breakfast l felt faint
later, and would go to the pantry and
eat cold chops. sausage, cookies,
doughnuts or anything l happened TO
find. Being a writer, at times my head
felt heavy and my brain asleep.

gan eating il every morning, also gave
it TO the children, including my ten
months-old baby. Swho soon grew as
fat as a little pig, good-natured and

sUSTAIAS OGDEN COUNCIL
Supreme Court Holds Present Water
Rate Schedule Is Not Ex-
cessiVe.

In an opinion handed down by the SUI
preme court the present water rate sched-
ule in Ogden is declared legal and rea-
sonable.
The case was that of j. ]. Brummit ct
al, appellants, against the Ogden Water
works company and Ogden city, respond
entS. Brummit asked in the lower court
that an injunction be issued restraining
the city from enforcing certain alleged
excessive water rates and to prevent the
council from entering into a contract with
the waterworks company for a period of
years.
The court holds that the council did not
have the power to enter into such a con-
tract and fix the rates for the entire
period covered by II, but that it could
fix temporary rates from time to time,
and that the evidence showed that the
rates as fixed were not excessive. For
this reason there is no ground upon which
10 rest an injunction. The lower court is
affirmed. and the decision was written by
Justice Prick and concurred in by his
associates
