within the space OF five hours.

a charge Of assault, and having sue

While the next case was being heard
one Of the Magistrates was seized
with indisposition.
The only available substitute was
the belligerent barrister, who there
upon took his seat on the bench and

tions in time to plead for a client
who had engaged his services some
days previous.-London Chronicle.

Recent Discoveries In Buried city Of
Great Importance.

+ A discovery OF great interest was
made not long since at Pompeil, where
the excavation work Is being steadily
carried on. Under the ash deposits
says The Scientific American, there
was found an extensive villa OF a
handsome construction and ornament
ed with very fine frescoes The villa
contains statues and other works OF
sculpture both Greek and Roman. be
sides very rich furniture which is
we'll ornamented and also many vases
of different kinds. There were also
found Golfers filled with gold and sill
yer money In the basement are
great amphorae which we're used for
storage purposes, and In the triclln-
lum the tables were prepared for a
banquet OF thirty persons. An abund-
ance OF silverware is one OF the fea-
lures of the discovery, and It is said
to be equal in weight and artistic
character to the silyerware discover
ed in the villa OF Boscoreale and now
possessed by the Louvre. Some OF the
silver pieces seem to have been TAX
en- out at previous epoch, for there
are traces OF clandestine search
which was made at a former date.

parents. Recently grandma went to
Seattle for visit, and caught cold
on the way When she arrived there,
she wrote back to Helen's parents that
she had reached Seattle, but had had

wanted to hear what grandma had to
say, and the letter was read to her.
Soon afterward she saw one of her
neighbors, and exclaimed: "Oh, Mrs.

JOY WORK
And the Other Kind.

Did you ever stand on a prominent
corner at an early morning hour and
watch the throngs of people on their
way to work? Noting the number who
were forcing themselves along be-
cause it meant their daily bread, and
the others cheerfully and eagerly pur-
suing their way because of love of
their work.
1t is a fact that ones food has much
to do with it, AS an example:
If an engine has poor oil, or boiler
is fired with poor coal, bad result is
certain, isn't it?
Treating your stomach right is the
keystone that sustains the arch of
health's temple and you will find
"Grape-Nuts" as a daily food is the
most nourishing and beneficial you can
use
We have thousands of testimonials,
real genuine little heart throbs, from
people who simply tried Grape-Nuts
out of curiosity--as a last resort-with
the result that prompted the testimo-
nial.
If you have never tried Grape-Nuts
It's worth while to give it a fair impair
tial trial. Remember there are mil
lions eating Grape-Nuts every day
they know, and we know if you will
use Grape-Nuts every morning your
work is more likely to be joy-work, be-
cause you can keep well, and with the
brain well nourished work is joy.

cuticura's Efficacy. Clearly Proven

When about two and a half years
old my daughter broke out on her hips
and the upper parts of her legs with a
very irritating and painful eruption. 1t
began in October; the first l noticed
was little red surface and constant
desire on her part to scratch her limbs.
She could not sleep and the eruptions
got sore, and yellow water came out
of them. l had two doctors treat her.
but she grew worse under their treat
ment. Then I bought the Cuticura
Remedies and only used them two
weeks when she was entirely well.
This was in February. She has never
had another rough place on her skin,
and she is now fourteen years old.
