PRIZE FOOD

4 Nebr.. woman has outlined the
prize food IN a few words, and that
from personal experience. She writes
After our long experience with
Grape-Nuts, I cannot say enough IN
its favor. We have used this food
almost continually for seven years.
We sometimes tried other adyer-
tised breakfast foods but We inYaTia-
bly, returned TO Grape-Nuts as the
most paIatabls, economical and nour-
ishing OF all
When I quit tea and coffee and be
gan TO use Postum and Crape-Nuts, 1
was a nervous wreck 1 was so iTTi-
table I could not sleep nights, and had
no interest in life.
After using GTape-Nuts short time
began TO improve and all these all
ments have disappeared ind now l am
a well woman. My TWO children have
been almost raised on Grape-Nuts
which they eat three times day.
They are pictures OF health and
have never had the least symptoms Of
stomach trouble, even through the
most severe siege of whOOping cough
they could retain GFape-NUts when
all else failed

bills and has been, therefore, a most
economical food for US"

BRIDGEPORT FIRM
 APPEALS TO U. $.
 ATTORNEY GENERAL
Halsey < Co.,, Affected by Riding of
 Loeb Under New Tariff Law.
RACE ACROSS THE SEA

R. B. Halsey & Co.,, the shirt makers of this city are in a position to lose or make upwards of s2,000 upon the de- cision of the attorney general of the United States as to when the new tariff bill went into effect R. B. Hal sey, Jr., was a passenger aboard the s. s. Pennsylvania which arrived in New York on August 5. On the same that MT. Halsey had purchased in Ire land and Scotland. The Halsey ship and a good portion of the Pennsyl- vania's cargo consisted largely of goods that would be affected under the new Payne tariff law.
 Schmidt of the Pennsylvania was in communication with New York by wireless and he was advised to spare no coal to make port before midnight. This he did arriving at quarantine shortly before 10 o'clock. All of the shippers were jubilant as they believed they had got in under cover, and dollars. But Collector Loeb ruled that they lose as the custom house closed at 4:30 on August 5.
 Halsey & Co. through their brokers have taken an appeal to the attorney general claiming that it was 5:07 o'clock on August before President Taft signed the tariff bill, and con- tending that it did not go into effect until the morning of the following day. Further the brokers who. have $50. 900 at stake claim that Collector Loeb or dered the custom house closed at 4:3o o'clock on August s and that the Pennsylvania was not allowed to en- ter dock on that day although she could have done so if permission had been given

Prices For Butternfes.

Butterfly collectors are seldom able to estimate with any confidence the value of their collections, since the prices for specimens so constantly va ry. A case in point is that of the blue butterfly of Brazil, specimens of which were originally sold for from. $50 to $75. Afterward some collectors who supplied the London market ran into a perfect swarm of these butterflies and shipped to England such quantities that better specimens than the original insects sold for $1 each. It not fnfre- quently happens that two or three specimens of a certain family are dis covered by collectors, who. encouraged by the high prices received for their finds, are tempted to prosecute their search for this particular variety with out result for several years. Suddenly they or some other collector finds the insects grown plentiful, and the cher ished varieties of the cabinet become among the conimonest specimens.-Chi- cago Post.

soclable Spiders.

Spiders have been observed in Ma dras which live in sponge-like nest of branching network, penetrated inter nally by canals of communication and furnished with a number of external apertures. The nests, which may be at tached either to the tips of b:anches or to leaves of the prickly pear, are ashy gray in color and constructed of leaves, with an external covering of the usual sticky threads. The spiders are similar in color to their nests. Their 1ncon- spicuous, sheet-like webs radiate in all directions, and as many as five or six nests, connected by intermediate webs, may be found on a single plant. The connecting webs, which are very strong, often form tubular bridges be- tween the nests. From forty to hun dred spiders may be found in single nest, and males and females inhabit the same nest in the proportion of about seven to one.

The original schedule called for a jump from Bos- ton to New York in one day, but the last night and was chartered at the Hotel Stratfield, found so many varia- tionS in the route due to the building of new State roads in Massachusetts and Connecticut that it may be neces- sary for the tourists to stop over in Bridgeport in order to avoid too great a strain on the drivers.
 Seventeen entries have been received for the run, which will practically be an eastern Glidden tour for three handsome trophies. Twelve different makes of cars are already represented by factory nominations, but the run is expected to attract more private entries than any similar event ever held in the east or west.

"The Top O. Tn World" is an airy, never ccasing moment of songs, dances, surprises. novelties and actions. It has scored everywhere 1t has been presented and early repeti- tions do not stale or harden it. As an attraction it is classed as a record breaker and perhaps has drawn as much money and profit as ''The Red Mill" In a word it is considered one big show, with it's seventy odd people, special dancers and specialties with intricate and realistic effects, being an amaIgamation of every form of stage amusement drafted into a gigantic whole by a master mind.

Searching for Stabber
(speciaI frorn United Press.) ,

Special from United Press)
 Buffalo, Aug. 16.-Chief of Police Van Dell and Sheriff Callaghan with a hastily gathered party of men are today searching the country about AL bion, Orleans county, for Ernest Mar chide, 35, an Italian, charged with having stabbed Antonio Strizzi to death. A flight that started in a stone quarry near here several days ago and which was reopened late last night when the two men met at the home of Dominica Riazco, is said to have been the cause of the tragedy. Strizzi's jugular vein was severed with the first blow. Jack Costello. who witnessed the stabbing, grappled with the assailant and he narrowly escaped Strizzi's fate. The knife was thrust through Costello's hat band just grazing his head.
 The police believe that Marchide fled to Buffalo because it is claimed he once resided in that city. Every city in the vicinity of the murder has been asked to co-operate in the search for Ithe nn9rderer
