CAUSE AND EFFECT
Good Digestion Follows Right Food.

Indigestion and the attendant dis.
comforts of mind and body are GER
tain to follow continued use of improp-
er food.
Those who are still young and
robust are likely to overlook the fact
that, as dropping water will wear a
stone away at last, SO will the use of
heavy, greasy, rich food. finally cause
loss Of appetite and indigestion.
Fortunately many are thoughtful
enough to study themselves and note
the principle Of Cause and Effect in
their daily food. A N. Y. young wom-
an writes her experience thus:
Sometime ago had a lot Of trouble
from Indigestion, caused by too rich
food. I got SO / was unable to d.
gest scarcely anything. and medicines
seemed useless.
"A friend advised me to try Grape
Nuts food, praising 1t highly, and as
a last resort tried it. am thankful
to say that Grape-Nuts not only re-
Heved me of my trouble, but built me
up and strengthened my digestive or
gans SO that can now eat anything
desire. But stick to Grape-Nuts."

Della Wins Ouer Hotchkiss.

The football boys and the basket ball
girls won over Hotchkiss last Satur-
day in the opening games of this sea-
son. The Delta High School ball team
won by IL to nothing and the basket
ball team won by score of to 4.
This result, particularly as far as the
High School team Of foot ball was con-
cerned, was fully expected at this end
of the line, though the Hotchkiss play
ers seemed to have hopes up to the
time the play began.
As matter of fact the Delta team
is most too strong for the suburbanites,
Grand Junction being the only outly-
ing village last season that proved able
to interest them or to cross their goal
but one single time.
The basket ball team also made a
god record last year. though it lost a
game or two.

The Good Roads Movement.

One of the features of the past Re-
publican administrations upon which
the entire population of Colorado is to
be congratulated. irrespective of party,
is the inspiration given the good roads
movement.
And it is not all inspir ion, either.
Some vigorous steps have already been
taken, through the influence of Repub-
lican state officials and party leaders,
to bring the highways of this state to a
better condition. Numerous measures
were put through the last Legislature
calling for important road improve
ments-one of them establishing an i'm
mense public highway connecting towns
and cities in eastern Colorado, from the
southern boundary to Fort Collins on
the north. This road is now being con-
structed by convict labor and will be
pushed to rapid completion.
Good Roads in Colorado" is a slogan
of the Republican party. 1t was on
the program two years ago and it is
still vital issue. What has been ac-
is only the beginning. 1t is
a practical form of progress for which
the party has become noted.
