From all the data which are reported
regarding composition, digestibility and
comparative cost of a number of kinds of
cereal breakfast foods Prof. Harcourt
concludes:
1T is evident that corn meal rolled
oats and the farnas. especially if bought
in bulk. are the most economical break
fast foods. 1t Is. however. true that these
foods do not agree with every one and
that the so-calleG predigested foods NAV
be useful for those people who have diff

also have a place in a hurry-up break

given to a muSh-advertised food does NOT
indicate high nutritive value, and the in

omy will hardly pass by the old forms of
breakfast foods unless his own experience
has actually demonstrated that these
newer foods have superior value

MilIionalres Have Troubles.

The office and fixtures of w. A. Clark, in New York, have been att tached to satisfy the judgment of Pro- lessor Treadwell, which was recently obtained in the New York courts. This judgment represents about A, ,OOO$ in demand and costs. The suit was brought by Treadwell to compel Clark to either return the stock belonging to Treadwell in the United Verde mine or the value thereof, which shares were legislated out of existence in the reor- ganization of the company some years ago. Prior to the reorganization oi the company Treadwell had hypoth, . cated his shares and when the new company was organized he was not consulted in the matter, wherefore the courts held that his stock could not be controlled by any action of the ma. jority.

One of the most attractive stores in the territory was opened to the pub- lie today in the Luthy Block by s. T. Elliott. The furnishings and appoint ment of the store were purchased with view to the display of goods tc the best advantage, and to this end hand some plate glass counters and display cases have been put in. The stock has been carefully selected in the east, only the best lines of ladies and gents furnishings being handled. While all the goods have not yet been opened up many handsome and attractive ar ticles are displayed. Handsome silk and lawn shirt waists, fancy collars and collarettes, ribbons, fancy belts, combs, handbags, baby bonnets, un- derwear, silk petticoats, boots, bootees, hose, fans, nicknacks, etc., for the ladies, and everything that the heart of man may desire are in the mems de- partment. The mems and children's boots and shoes are tho best lines ever brought to the county. There is also a fine line of blankets and quilts, mus lins, ginghams, calicos, flannelettes, and dressgoods of all kinds. And mo- where outside of big city can such a complete display of ladies' and mems furnishings be found. If the average man or woman cannot make selections from this stock they certainly cannot be suited by selections from the stocks of any of the big department stores.

Struck oil.

Oil has been struck in Imperial county. J. N. Holloway, of Bakers field, has been prospecting for oil in Carrizzo Creek canyon for some time, and recently struck a flow of light oil in well 1OSO feet deep. Yesterday l62 filings on oil claims were received at the office of the county recorder and placed on record, and a letter that 200 more would be forwarded inn mediately by express. Apparently Bakersfield oil men located the whole Carrizzo Creek country before making known the fact that they had struck oil. The field is said to be similar in formation to the Coalinga district.- Imperial Press.
