STOPPED SHORT Taking Tonics. and Built Up On Right
 Food.

The mistake is frequently made of trying to build up a worn-out nervous system on so-called tonics-drugs.
 New material from which to rebuild wasted nerve cells is what should be supplied and this can be obtained only by proper food.
 Two years ago I found myself on the verge of complete nervous col lapse. due to overwork and study. and to illness in the family" writes Wis. young mother.
 My friends became alarmed be- cause I grew pale and thin and could not sleep nights. 1 took various ton ics prescribed by physicians. but their effects wore off shortly after l stopped taking them. My food did not seem to nourish me and l gained no flesh nor blood.
 Reading of Grape Nuts, I deter mined to stop the tonics and see what a change of diet would do. l ate Grape-Nuts four time day with cream and drank milk also, went to bed early after eating dish of Grape Nuts before retiring.
 "ln about two weeks l was sleeping soundly. In a short time gained 70 lbs. in weight and felt like a different woman. My little daughter whom l was obliged to keep out of school last spring on account of chronic catarrh, has changed from a thin, pale. ner- vous child to a rosy. healthy girl and has gone back to school this fall,
 Grape Nuts and fresh air were the only agents used to accomplish the happy results There's a Reason.

Burglars broke into. the saloon con- ducted by Frank Speh at the ccrner of Bank street and Derby avenue. earaly Sunday morning and took several boxes of cigars, a package of cigarettes and two or three dollars in change that was in the cash register drawer. This sa loon Is in the building known as the Mansion house. The burglars were very familiar with the layout of the place and it Is thought they are regu- lar inmates of the saloon. They gained their entrance by breaking very small hole in back window, then in- serting finger and pressing the spring of the window which raised 1t. Sunday morning Chief ODell, with two policemen, made thorough search of the nearby neighborhood in an endeav- or to locate the wherapouts of the cash register drawer which MT Spehr would like to discover. Their efforts were use less. The peculiar part about the rob bery is that no liquor whatever was taken.
