A lady writer who not only has done
good literary work, but reared fam
ily, found in Grape Nuts the ideal food
for brain work and to develop healthy
children She writes:

Grape Nuts as regular diet. 1 former

for s years while nursing my four
children, had insufficient nourishment

later, and would go to the pantry and
eat cold chops, sausage, cookies, dough-
nuts or anything I happened to find.
Being writer, at times my head felt
heavy and my brain asleep.
'When read of Grape-Nuts I began
eating 1t every morning, also gave it to
the children including my 10-months-
old baby, who soon grew as fat as a
little pig, good natured and contented.
81 wrote evenings and feeling the
need Of sustained brain power, began
eating a small saucer Of Grape-Nuts
with milk, instead of my usual aindi-
gestible hot pudding, pie, or cake for
dessert at night. H.
81 grew plump, nerves strong, and
when. wrote my brain was active and
clear, indeed, the dull head pain never

Iowa City, Feb 5.-The tramp ques-
ton is becoming serious here. There
has been a regular deluge of hoboes
during the past few days, and forty
one tramps were lodged in the county
Jail at the beginning of the week ana
the number seems to have no signs of
abatement. When asked about the
matter councilman stated, The
tramps are lodged in the county Jail
and fed, the sheriff receiving 10 cents
per meal per man. This is the prin-
cipal item Of expense. However, If
the city was able to compel the
tramps to work on the stone pile,
this amount it would not be quite
so expensive. For a time the men
were drilled to the city hall where
they spent the day cracking rocks, but
the recent cold weather. together with
the scanty attire of the men has
made this impossible. Even while this
was done the tramps seemed to have
no fear of the guard and escaped at
will. 1t would take a large sized guard
to watch forty-one men and unless
some shelter place is provided which
can be easily and effectively guarded
the city will be compelled to pay
large expense which will bring no re-
turns. On the other hand the city can
not turn these men out during such
weather as now prevails"
