LESS MEAT
Advice of Family Physician.

Formerly people thought meat nee
essary for strength and muscular
vigor.
The man who worked hard was sup.
posed TO require meat two or three
times a day. Science has found out
differently.
1t is now common thing for fam.
lily physician TO order less meat as in
the following letter from n. Y. man.
Il had suffered for years with dys-
pepsia and nervousness. My physician
advised me To eat less meat and
greasy foods generally. / tried several
things TO take the place of my usual
breakfast of chops. fried potatoes. ETC.,
but got no relief until ! tried Grape
Nuts food.
After using Grape Nuts for the
cereal part of my meals for two years,
| am now well man. Grape-Nuts
benefited my health far more than the
$4,000 worth of medicine / had taken
before.
MY wife and children are healthier
than they had been for years, and we
are a very happy family, largely due to
Grape. Nuts.
I'VE have been so much benefited
by Grape-Nuts that It would be un-
grateful not to acknowledge It,"

Girl Foroer Skins Banks.


An lS-year-old girl i'm the guise Of a
decidedly green maiden finn TANNED
TWO local banks out of nearly 5000
March IL, on two forged checks drawn
on the State Savings bank of Mason
TO Helen Carpenter. One check for
$257.30 was supposed to be signed by
Oscar Driver, a well-todo hay buyer
of Mason, and the other by Harper
Reed, a wealthy business man of the
same town. Each of the men do
business with the Mason bank, also
with the two Lansing banks, and the
checks were taken at once. When the
checks were returned to the local
banks here it was discovered that
they had been let down about 5000
by clever forgery.
The girl who so cleverly turned the
trick obtained the blank checks at
Mason and there evidently learned all
about the prominence of the two men
whose names she forged The girl is
described as about five feet seven
inches tall, slight Of build, dark brown
hair and eyes and to have worn a
brown dress and very cheap hat.

Order Violated Its Own Laws.

THE matter was first brought to
my attention by Mrs. Totten last
fall. Under the proofs the society

society for an explanation, and he
agreed TO come here in January and
discuss the matter. He has never
come here, nor made the explanation,

PLANTATION.
Il have never said the society
should reinstate her. but her proof
shows that she was transferred to
a Chicago lodge in face of her pro-
test. when the society's law says
transfer shall only be made on
application of the member. Her
dues were "a hours late once, and
she was suspended at once. Other
members are given As days.
This Is her story, and the society
officers have never contradicted It.
She is widow with four children for

Will Give Judges $500.

According to the verdict Of the
house, circuit judges are not worth TO
exceed $4,000 year to the state. An
effort was made to get a bill through
raising the salary from $4,000 TO
$4,000. but after long discussion the
amount was fixed at $4,000 Another
amendment tackled on to the bill pro-
vides that boards of supervisors must
take action in order to provide addi-
tional compensation. The reason Is
obvious. In Wayne the judges now
get $4,000 year, $4,000 being paid by
the county, and unless this amend
ment was added it would increase
their salaries TO $1,000.

Piecinq Out tho Prayer.

or curious prayers writer says: Il
have heard layman utter this petition
during the prayer o, Lord, be thou
with us in our upsittings an our down.
risings'-a variant Of the text in the
psalms. Thou knowest my downsit-
tings and mine uprisings.' A minister
occasionally introduced a Latin SEN
tence into his prayer, and forthwith
proceeded to translate it, Another min
lister in his early days experienced con-
siderable difficulty with the long prayer
before the sermon. In nonconformist
churches this usually occupies quar-
ter of an hour, but long before this pc
rod had been reached he was wound
up. On one occasion, while in this d.
lemma, he startled his hearers with the
words: And now, o Lord, | will re-
late unto thee little anecdote!'

and that the condition of both the
children and adults showed that to be
a fact.
MY first trial was a failure. The
cook boiled it four or five minutes and
it tasted so fiat that was in despair
but determined to give 1t one more
trial. This time we followed the d.
rections and boiled it fifteen minutes
after the boiling began. 1t was q de-
