Rockville Nov, 11--Tac balloon "Plttsileld In the Heart of the Bcrk- shlres," which made an ascension from Pittsneld at 2;55 to-day, landed here at 3;55. William Van Sloct of the Pittsfeld Aero club was the pilot. and was accompanied hy Mr. Mitchell of Minneapolis. Much difficulty was experienced in making a landing the balloon finally settling down in the yard of Christian Numaker after a flight of seventy miles. MT Van Sleet said the ascension was made in d heavy wind and they arose to height of 10000 feet, which they kept until shortly before they reached here. The balloon then for some reason began to fall rapidly and an attempt was made to land in an open lot, but the anchor rope broke and the balloon drifted into the heart of the city, tearing down the electric and fire alarm wires and the grape arbors and shrub bery in the yard of Nmnan, where the landing was finally made.
 The balloon was taken charge of by the chief of police who locked 1t up in the local lookup where it will be held pending the settlement of the damage done to the city's property Van Vleet was allowed to go to his home in Pittsfeld

Babies grow very rapidly and if they do not get the right kind of food they grow backwards instead of forwards; that is, when their food ia not nourIshlng they grow thin and cross and some of them die from the lack of the right kind of food. A girl writes:
 My aunts baby was very delicate and was always ill., She was not ahle to nurse it and took lt to ono doctor after another, but none of them did the child any good,
 "Ono day mother told my aunt to try Grape Nuts for the baby. but she laughed and said if the doctors couldn't do the baby any good, how could Grape Nuts? But mother said try it anyway.
 "So my aunt put one tablespoonful of Grape-Nuts in quarter cup of hot water and when the food was soft she added as much milk as water and gave that to the baby
 "ln a month and half you would hardly have known that baby, 1t was so fat and thrivcd so fast, A neigh Dor asked my aunt what made the baby go healthy and fat when only six weeks before 1t was so thin She said Grape Nuts.
