smoothed by Change OF Food.

Worry is a big load to carry and an
unnecessary one. When accompanied
by indigestion it certainly is cause for
the blues.
But the whole trouble may be easily
thrown off and life's road be made
easy and comfortable by proper eating
and the cultivation of good cheer. Hear
what a Troy woman says:

ance of Grape-Nuts and have used
the food once a day and sometimes

a case of empties and one of fulls. The
fulis were placed in the station Joint

The police have received COM
plants from all over the city lately
concerning the revived habit of riding
bicycles on the sidewalks of the city.
The chief has issued a warning to the
police to watch out for such violaters
and as a result four dollars and four
riders were brought to the police sta
ton today. Detective Hopkins found
Fred Schuck spinning along near the
Santa Fe depot and he accompanied
him to the station. A. E. Karnes a
Washburn student was, taking pos
session of the sidewalks on College
Hill and he was given a little advice
outside of the class room. ]. p.
Burchfield and Hugh Nichols were
also saving car fare and they de-

made his escape by the help of a
friend.

The State Journal said Thursday
that the man who was arrested as
forger was caught at the Rock Island
depot by Sergeant Kenney. There
were two mistakes in the story. In
the first place he was caught at the
Santa Fe depot and in the second
place he was caught by detective A.
w Hopkins. Kenney was home in
bed when the arrest occurred and
was much surprised TO learn of his
capture, although he said he has
dreamed of making such a good catch.

son street at midnight last night and
found a misunderstanding between
husband and wife being settled in a
disorderly way. Mrs. Gardner claimed
that her husband was tired of her
presence and attempted to illustrate
his feelings by doing a little unneces-

with a butcher knife and started af-

the air. She ran to the home of a
neighbor and when the police ar
rived went with them to her home.

Each man hooked his ladder to the cross piece one
on each side of the post. These two men directed
their attention and their aluminium paint to that
portion of the post extending above the cross piece
about one foot of space. In two minutes they had
finished their share of the work, and moved quickly
to the next post, which, in the meantime, had been
dismantled by the leaders.
r. -Four" counted the observing one.
Following the men with the aluminium paint came
two men, each with ladder and bucket of paint.
This third section had green paint color ordained
to adorn lamp posts and park fences. They placed
their ladders against the post, and in two minutes
had laid on the glttering green.
Six, crooned the observing one, these two
passed on to the next post.
Only one of this section carried ladder. The man
handed him up the globe. When this in place,

Il fail to the economy
1T is certainly evident to you that if you pay
man three dollars day and set him to doing the
work of dollar and half man, you are losing
money. Four of these men are dollar and half
men, and four three dollar men. 1t is cheaper
to hire an extra at dollar and half to take
off the globes than to let three dollar do it.
