these important organs. This unpleasant

the kidneys and bladder and not to a

and both need the same great remedy.

A New One About NapoIeon.

A new story about Napoleon is
necessarily doubtful; the probability
is that it is simply SO old that it has
been forgotten. However, here is one
that Arthur M. Chuquet prints in
L'Opinion as never before published.
1t relatesto Napoleon and Butcher.
The emperor received the general
at the castle of Finkenstein, while he
was preparing for the siege of Danzig.
He drew him to window in an upper
story and paid him compliments on
his military gifts, and Butcher, going
away delighted, described the inter
view to his aide-de-camp. What a
chance you missed" exclaimed the
latter.

THE DOCTORS WIFE
Agrees with Him About Food.

A trained nurse says: I'm the
practice of my profession l have
found so many points in favor of
Grape-Nuts food that l unhesitatingly
recommend it to all my patients.
1T is delicate and pleasing to the
palate Can essential in food for the
sick), and can be adapted to all ages,
being softened with milk or cream
for babies or the aged when deficiency
of teeth renders mastication impos.
sible. For fever patients or those on
liquid diet find 'Grape-Nuts and albu.
men water very nourishing and re-
freshing.'
This recipe is my own idea and is
made as follows: Soak a teaspoonful
OF Grape-Nuts in glass of water for
an hour, strain and serve with the
beaten white of an egg and a spoonful
Of fruit juice for flavouring. This az.
fords a great deal of nourishment that
even the weakest stomach can assim.
ilate without any distress.
MY husband is a physician and he
uses Grape-Nuts himself and orders IL
many times for his patients.
Personally regard dish of Grape
Nuts with fresh or stewed fruit as the
ideal breakfast fer anyone-well or
sick"
In any case Of stomach trouble, nerv-
Gus prostration or brain flag, 10 day

toward nourishing and rebuilding and

Advocates of New Form ~ GOvern-

Advocates Of the municipal form Of gov
eminent are getting busy and there so far
seems nothing TO hinder them from get
ting the proposition before the people in
! ample time for the spriug election. Eight
petitions asking that the proposition be
hsubmitted to the electors Of the city at
a special election are now In circulation.
The promoters are confident that they
will be able 70 secure at least 1900 names
to the petition, which number is consid-
erably more than is required by the stat
ute.
The required number OF signatures is ex-
pected to be secured by the end OF the
present week, and as soon as the sigma
| lures are checked over the petitions will
be filed with Mayor Maloney. In the
event It IL shown that the petitions bear
the required number Of signatures Of
bona fide electors the mayor will have no
alternative but to call a special election,
at which the proposition shall be sub
mitted.
In the event OF the proposition carrying
the people will be called upon at the reg
ular municipal election in March to elect
officers under the new plan.
The expense Of circulating the petitions
is being borne by a coterie of citizens
who are anxious that the commission
form OF government should be given a
trial in Council Bluffs.
Prof. o.. j. McManus, one of the leaders
in the movement, said last evening that
the required number Of signatures prob
ably would be obtained in time to file the
petitions with the mayo before the end
