FOOD FACTS.
What an M. D. Learned.

A prominent Georgia physician went
thru food experience which he makes
public:
1T was my own experience that first
led me to advocate Grape-Nuts food
and l also know, from having pre-
scribed it to convalescents and other
weak patients, that the food is a Won
derful rebuilder and restorer of nerve
and brain tissue, as well as muscle. It
improves the digestion and sick pa
tients always gain just as did in
strength and weight very rapidly.
Il was in such a low state that i had
to give up my work entirely, and went
to the mountains of this state, but two
months there did not improve me; in
fact, I was not quite so well as when
left home.
MY food did not sustain me and it
became plain that must change Then
began to use Grape-Nuts food and
in two weeks could walk mile with
out fatigue, and in five weeks returned
to my home and practice, taking up
hard work again. Since that time
have felt as well and strong as ever
did in my life.
"As a physician who seeks to help all
sufferers, consider it duty to make
these facts public"
Trial ten days on Grape-Nuts, when
| the regular food does not seem to sus-
tain the body, will work miracles.
There's Reason"

Good morning, were you "burgled'

Such is the daily salutation of Mar

The gentlemanly housebreaker that
has been operating in the city for ten
days, at an average Of from two to
three homes nightly, was successful in
effecting one entrance Tuesday night,
and was frightened away from anoth-

frightened the prowler away.
Another Monday night burglary was
discovered Tuesday afternoon at the

sermon he continued so Jacob is

says, 1 will get even Jacob knows

his brother whom he had wronged.
Esau meets the herdsmen with their

aside, saying, Does he hope to appease
me with presents?'
Then Esau saw Jacob coming limp
ing down the road, and Esau knew by
the light on Jacobs face that his
brother was meek and lowly and that
he had made his peace with God. And
Esau ran to Jacob and they fell on
each others necks and they were re-

Branching off from his theme again
Mr.. Sunday took a few minutes in
closing to lay down the law to hus-
bands who neglect their wives and

love and treat his wife with the same
consideration after he has been mar

BIG IMPROVEMENT.
TO ERECT THREE NEW
AND MODERN BUILDINGS
Capital Stock to Be Increased From
$4,000 to $4,000, Fully Paid Up and
All Subscribed by Present Stock
hoIders-Put Stock Back to Par, and
Use Surplus for Dividends.

At meeting of the c. A. Durham
Company, manufacturers of steam
traps and specialties, held Tuesday
afternoon, it was definitely decided TO
build complete new and modern
manufacturing plant in this city. The
present plant, situated on East Main
street, near Ninth avenue, has become
inadequate for the growing business
of the company, and new and larger
quarters are imperative. The work of
building will be begun within sixty
days, and will be completed before
snow flies.
Will Erect Three Buildings.
Three new buildings will comprise
the plant, and Will be built at a cost
of $4,000, The factory building proper
will be fire proof. two stories high,

Another site for the new plant may
he decided upon before the building
begins. but as yet this point has not
been determined. The company owns
its present factory site.
Increase Capital Stock.
At the meeting of the company
Tuesday afternoon it was decided 10
increase the capital stock from 100000
TO 100000, fully paid up. The surplus
that the company has accumulated
was placed in the dividend account.
and a dividend of so per cent was de-
clared. The paying of the big dividend
will place the stock back to par value
again, instead of $50 per share, the
amount the stock has been worth.
The increase in the capital stock has
already been taken up by the present
stockholders. and they expect TO sub
scribe for all of the extra stock.
Business Shows Wonderful Growth.
The c. A Durham Company was or
ganized here five years ago by c. A.
Durham, who was formerly chief en-
gineer OF the Iowa Soldiers Home. The
business started in modest way, and
has grown at a rapid pace. Already
branch offices are maintained in
Cleveland, O.. Philadelphia, Fort
Worth. Tex. and Spokane. Wash, and
the addition of other branches is con-
templated.

Much Fruitless Work

had been at work for six months in
New York and had not vet secured a
single man, while he had done earnest
work.
Z. G. Ballentyne stated that he ia
vered the tax, which was a matter of
self-proteetion and something. in which
everyone able should pay their share.
Frontage Tax and Counties.
Governor Carter asked the commit
tees if they had considered the ques-
ton of charging street improvements
up to ahutting property, as was done
elsewhere.
Chairman Fairchild said that snch
plan had been considered, the idea be-
ing TO shift the responsibility to the
counties, leaving them to adopt the
plans of the mainland. Now the bur
dens do not bear equally and the ques-
ton should be brought squarely up to
the people, that the ones who have
good sidewalks, fine schools and hks
things should pay for them.

the tax, but agreed that there must
be an immigration appropriation, in
creasing the general taxes to supply
the money or cutting down other ex-
penses to permit of it.
Representative Castro asked Govern
or Carter if he thought it possible for
the planters to get sufficient labor in
New York or any other part of the
United States.
Mr.. Carter thought the planters had
not tried hard enough. He had heard
that the planters agent in New York
had worked six months without get
ting man, and he believed he could
work for another six months without
getting any.
Mr.. Tenncy asked what results Mr..
Carter would guarantee in labor from
the mainland for salary of $4,000

where a great showing was being made,
and where a big industry Just in wood
would be established At present it

high because of the nature of the eoun-

too extensive and too expensive. He
compared this Territory to New Mex

He believed in assisting the sugar

posed, favoring graduated income tax
to raise all funds, instead of the
double tax which might be questioned
and thrown out.
