NEW SENSATION FOR DOBBIN
Come to Think of 1t, He Would Have Felt Funny Sitting in the
 Position Indicated.

The family horse, who rejoiced in the eminently proper equine name of Dobbin, had earned rest by long service, and was accordingly sent away to the country to s9end his de- clining years in the broad T-1stures of a farmer friend of his osner. The distance being somewhat excessive for his rheumatic legs, he was shipped to his new home by rail.
 Little Edna, the family four-year- old, viewed the passing of Dobbin with un- feigned sorrow. She sat for a long time gazing disconsolately out of the window. At last, after deep sigh, she turned with a more cheerful ex- pTession, and said:
 Did old DobbIn go on the choo- choo cars, mamma?"
 Yes, dear" answered her mother.

CALLS FOR COUNTY CONNECTS.
Jackson County Roads Are to Be
 Worked

Newport. County Judge H. s. Sim mons has taken the initial step to- ward securing for Jackson a cross county turnpike. The start was made in the order of his court calling for the services of the Is state conyiets from Jackson county, as authorized under the Patterson act of the last legislature. Judge Simmons idea is to first complete a rock road east from Newport through Union and Village townships to the county line and upon the completion of this road to build south from Newport to the county line, using the road tax of each district upon that part of the road within it's borders. As Union township has road tax of approxi- mately $6,00O, this would give the movement a good start.

 Gardiner, Me. - was great suf- ferer from female disease. The doc- tor said 1 would have to go to the hospital for an operation, but Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound con- pletely cured me in three months. "- MRS. $. A. WILLIAMS, R. F. D. No. 14, Box 39, Gardiner Me-.
 Because your case is difficult one, doctors having done you no good, do not continue to suffer without giving Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound trial. It surely has cured many cases of female ills, such as in- flammation, alteration, displacements, fibroid tumors, irregularities, periodic pains, backache, that bearing-down feeling, indigestion, dizziness, and ner- vous prostration. It costs but trife to try it, and the result is worth mill lions to many suffering women.

ORIGIN Of a Famous Human Food,

The story of the great discoveries or inventions is always of interest.
 An active brain worker who found himself hampered by lack of bodily strength and vigor and could not carry out the plans and enterprises he knew how to conduct, was led to study ya- rious foods and their effects upon the human system. In other words. be- fore he could carry out his plans he had to find food that would carry him along and renew his physical and mental strength.
 He knew that food which was brain and nerve builder (rather than mere fat maker) was universally needed. He knew that meat with the average man does not accomplish the desired results. He knew that the soft gray substance in brain and nerve centers is made from Albumen and Phosphate of Potash obtained from food. Then he started to solve the problem.
 Careful and extensive experiments evolved Grape-Nuts the now famous food. It contains the brain and nerve building food elements in condition for easy digestion.
 The result of eating Grape-Nuts daily is easily seea in marked sturdi- ness and marked activity of the brain and nervous system, making it pleasure for one to carry on the daily duties without fatigue or exhaustion.
 Grape-Nuts food is in no sense stimulant but is simply food which renews and replaces the daily waste Of brain and nerves.
 It's favour is charming and being fully and thoroughly cooked at the factory it is served instantly with cream.
 The signature of the brain worker spoken of c. W. Post, is to be seen on each genuine package of GrapeNuts.
 Look in pkgs. for the famous little book, "The Road to Melville" There's reason"

nag OF the thirteen United States be
thirteen stripes, alternate red and
white: that the union be thirteen stars,
white IN a blue field, representing a
