The death and manned record for
the Fourth of July 1909 Is not 50
appalling by fifty percent as II was
last year, The people are either
growing saner or more care Is being
exercised In handling the murderous
cannon crackers aud deadly toy
pistols. The record, however, ia
far worse than II should be, but
there is hope that In time the number
OF deaths and disabled ones result,
ing from the Fourth of July will bo
reduced TO "a minimum. The toy
pistol is responsible for more deaths
on this day than anything that has
yet been invented and a law should
be enacted before another year
rolls around abolishing their manu-
facture.

SURPRISED HIM
Doctors Test of Food.

A doctor in Kansas experimental
with his boy in a test of food and
gives the particulars. He says:
L naturally watch the effect of diff
ferent foods on patients. My own lit
tie son, a lad of four, had been i'll
with pneumonia and during his conva-
lescence did not seem to care for any
kind of food.
Il knew something of Grape-Nuts
and its rather fascinating flavor, and
particularly of its nourishing and
nerve-building powers, so started the
boy on Grape-Nuts and found from
the first dish that he liked it.
"7is mother gave it to him steadily
and he began to improve at once. In
less than a month he had gained
about eight pounds and soon became
so well and strong we had no further
anxiety about him.
IAN old patient of mine, 73 years
old, came down with serious stomach
trouble and before was called had
got so weak he could eat almost moth
ing, and was in a serious condition.
He had tried almost every kind of
food for the sick without avail
I Immediately put him on Grape.
Nuts with good, rich milk and just q
little pinch of sugar. He exclaimed
when I came next day Why doctor
never ate anything so good or that
made me feel so much stronger.
Il am pleased to say that he got
we'll on Grape-Nuts, but he had to
stick to it for two or three weeks
then he began to branch out little
with rice or an egg or two. He got
entirely well in spite of his almost
hopeless condition. He gained p
pounds in two months which at his
age is remarkable.

MANY NEGLIGENT HUSBANDS.
Thirty-One Wives in Past Three
Days Complain of Non-Support.

The past three days were record
breakers at the Juvenile Court in the is
suance of warrants in non-support cases,
thirty complaining wives having ap-
peared to make complaints against as
many husbands for failure to contribute
to their support. OF these applications
thirty were deemed of sufficient merit to
issue the necessary papers, which has
been done. The various warrants have
been forwarded to the different precincts
of the city, and are being served as fast
as the accused are found
In the Juvenile Court yesterday eight
non-support defendants were arraigned
for trial and convictions were found in
each instance Three of the defendants,
giving the names of Ellsworth Delaney
Joseph K. Boyle and Charles Crutchtield
were committed to the workhouse for six
months. The remaining five were given
suspended sentences upon condition that
they pay stated sums weekly or monthly
through the authorities for the mainten-
ance of their families.
In addition to the non-Support cases.
several Juvenile defendants were placed
upon probation, following convictions for
trivial offenses.
