GRINNELL-The interest taken by the
student body of Iowa college in the offer

The prize offered each year is 800, divided
into first, second and third, of $50, $50 and

Taste Is Sure
Stomach Guide
A barometer Which Never Fails,
Though Seldom Believed.

hAOaA
Taste is the direct guide to the stomach;
and the taste buds are connected by the
nerves with the stomach itself, so that
they represent It's health or disorder. II
the stomach or its juices are out of tone,
the blood is fermented by a change in
the alkaline or acid condition. and these
reach the mouth both directly and indi-
rectly
THE taste buds are in the tongue, and
are mounted by hairliks projections called
papillae; they cover the surface of the
tongue"
when you taste these buds rise up and
absorb the liquid; inform the nerves;
the nerves tell the stomach, and the food
is acceptable or not, Just as the stomach
feels"
The above remarks on taste come from
an eminent authority and simply explain
why when one smells cooking or sees food
one thinks he can eat, but when he tastes
he learns the stomach is out of business.
To the person who cannot taste Alright
who relishes no food and simply forces
himself to eat. Stuart's Dyspepsia. Tablets
hold the secret of enjoyable eating. per-
feet digestion and renewed general health.
Most men wait until their stomachs are
completely sickened before they think
seriously OF assisting nature.
When your taste for food is lost It is a
certain sign the stomach needs attention.
Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets cure such
stomachs. They restore sweetness OF
breath. renew gastric juices. enrich the
blood and give the stomach the strength
and rest necessary to general duty.
Forty thousand physicians use StuaTts

I%nspecting Moving Picture shows.

The three members Of the Board of Fire
and Police Commissioners and Fire Chief
Nicholson made a thorough Investigation
Of conditions existing at the three moving
picture theaters of the city yesterday. At
each place sufficient exits were found, al
though in one of the theaters it was deemed
advisable TO order the moving OF a piano
which the commissioners considered was
too close to one of the rear doors.
At one theater the commissioner ordered
a dressing room in the basement undeI
the stage abandoned and directed that other
arrangements for such an apartment be
made. rho proprietor of the theater was
granted permission to erect a corrugated
hCr structure at the rear of the building
to serve as a dressing room.
Speaking of the investigation, Fire Chiei
Nicholson said: 1--WE found the conditions
at all three theaters satisfactory. the rear
exits accessible and every precaution taken
against fire. We ordered some slight
changes in some of the places and these
the proprietors stated they would willingly
carry out"

other for WELDING Razor.
Jim Quinice, the boss cook of the gang
of Greek railroad laborers in the Rock
Island yards, who was charged with re-
ceiving stolen property, II being alleged
that he had acted as a fence for Walter
Goodwin, the boy burglar. was yesterday
held to the grand jury by Police Judge
Snyder. Quinice's bond was placed at
$500, in default of which he was COM
mitted to the county Jail.
Quinice was specifically charged Will
receiving from young Goodwin the jew
elry which Goodwin stole from the resi-
dence of w. Hanna, 216 Tenth avenue
Among the articles stolen from this house
were a watch and bracelet belonging to
Mrs. Hanna. These were recovered by
the police in a barber shop and pool room
in Omaha conducted by Greeks, where
they had been placed for safe keeping by
Quinice.
Several local jewelers. gave expert testi-
mony as to the value of the jewelry which
Quinice was accused OF receiving, their
appraisements ranging from $22 to $40,
the latter being double the amount re-
quired to bind the accused over.
George w. Pruitt of Honey Creek,
charged with slashing his brother-in-law
Nell Walters, with a razor Sunday after
noon, had a preliminary hearing in police
court yesterday morning and was held to
the grand jury. The charge filed against
Pruitt was assault with intent to commit
murder. His bond was placed at $1,000,
which he was unable to furnish and he
was sent to the county Jail.
The hearing yesterday developed the
fact that Pruitt's wife, at whose home on
Franklin avenue the cutting took place,
was divorced from the defendant last
September. The trouble started, so the
evidence showed, when Pruitt. who had
called at the house about some mortgage
papers, commenced TO take down the pic
lures from the wall Of the sitting room.
Walters, on Pruitt refusing to leave the
house. elected him and then the cutting
followed
City Physician Tubbs. who was called
to attend Walters, testified that it had
required fourteen stitches to sew up the
cash made by the razor, which had cut
through Walters overalls, hickory shirt
and heavy underwear. The fact that the
razor struck Walters ribs probably pre-
vented the wound from being a fatal
one.
Pruitt entered a plea of not guilty and
claimed that Walters attacked him when
he began 10 remove the pictures from the
wall.
