reason that to me the present methods
Of juggling with the law, splitting hairs

not the proper administration Of justice.
and to take the time Of twelve business
men, which to them IA valuable, compel
them to sit on a case in which they are
not interested and after they have rem
dered a decision to the best Of their abil-
itv to have an outside judge differ with
them on some slight pretext, granting a
stay or an appeal, is disheartening to the
Jurors. For the above reason ! trust
will not be forced to serve as 9 juror.

Grape-Nuts is never a crying baby.

Grape-Nuts, and get well.
My little baby was given up by
three doctors who said that the con-
densed milk on which l fed her had
ruined the child's stomach. One Of
the doctors told me that the only
thing to do would be to try Crane
Nuts, so got some and prepared it as
follows: L soaked IL tablespoonfuis
In one pint of cold water for half an
hour, then l strained off the liquid and
mixed IL teaspoonfuls of this strained
Grape-Nuts juice with six teaspoonfuls
OF rich milk, put in pinch of salt
and little sugar, warmed it and gave
1t to baby every two hours.
In this simple, easy way l saved
Dabys life and have built her up to a
strong healthy child. rosy and laugh
