SURPRISED HIM
Doctors Test Of Food.

A doctor In Kansas experimental
with his boy in a test of food and
gives the particulars. He says:
II naturally watch the effect of DIFF
terent foods on patients. My own lit.
tie son, a lad of four, had been i'll
with pneumonia and during his conve
~lescence did not seem to care for any
kind of food.
Il knew something OF Grape-Nuts
and it's rather fascinating flavor, and
particularly Of its nourishing and
nerye-building powers. SO l started the
boy on Grape-Nuts and found from
the first dish that he liked 1t.
Ills mother gave 1t to him steadily
and he began to improve at once. II
less than a month he had gained
about eight pounds and 10 became
80 well and strong we had nc further
anxiety about him.
AN old patient of mine, 73 years
old, came down with serious stomach
trouble and before I was called had
got so weak he could eat almost moth
ing, and vas in a serious condition.
He had tried almost every kind of
food for the sick without avail.
Il Immediately put him on Grape
Nuts with good, rich milk and just a
little pinch of sugar. He exclaimed
when ! came next day Why doctor I
never ate anything so good or that
made me feel so much stronger
II am pleased to say that he got
well on Grape-Nuts, but he had to
stick to 1t for two or three weeks.
then he began to branch out a little
with rice or an egg or two. He got
entirely well in spite of his almost
hopeless condition. He gained 90
pounds in two months which at his

eIassow's Population Decreasing.

The chief sanitary inspector of Glas-
gov says in his annual report that
there was a decrease of 1882 in the
number of occupied houses in 1908 as
compared with the total in 1907. rep
resenting a population of 1851 per-
sons. They had for the first time in
Glasgow's recent history taken a step
backward with regard to their total
population. Since 1S73-when the in.
rease of population was only 23 over
the number of persons residing in the
city in 1S72-Glasgow had steadily
forged ahead at the average rate OF
$3.50 persons added to the population
annually until this last year.. No ade-
quate answer could be given as to
whittier the pople had gone. The
total actual loss for the year 1908
seems to have been over $4,000 per-
sons.

VETERAN OAK Is CUT DOWN.

A large double oak tree that has
stood the wintry blasts and the sum.
mer heat for more than 100 years, hav-
ing an abiding place on Third street
in Cedar Falls, has been uprooted and
cast aside in order to make room for
a fat building. 1t was of the the black
oak variety. and old settlers say that
1t was a large tree so years ago. From
the rings leading outward from the
heart good judges declare that aver
a century has passed since the little
acorn burst its shell and shot forth
a tiny spire that the years developed
into the mighty oak. Others say the
tree is $50 years old.

A New Blouse.

For wear with the suit of tussor, a
very pretty blouse may be made OF
silk handkerchiefs, masculine, of
course, and If they are large, four
will be quite sufficient. Cut one in
half, and let the two hemstitched
edges come together in the center
front. 1t is best to sew a band OF in.
sertion underneath these to hold the
edges together and to make a finish
for the fastening of the waist.
To make the front wide enough,
pieces left from the other handker.
chiefs or else of material to match
may be used for underarm sections.
The back is made of one entire hand.
kerchief, and what is left may be
used for sleeves. Anywhere that the
finish is too severe a little insertion or
lace edging may be used to soften the
effect, and the same may form a col
lar and the finish for tile sleeves.

q physical law that magnetism Is not
simple attraction of one thing for a N
other, but the difference of two oppos.

The speakers were Mayor John S. Brans-

about the water system, the intercepting
sewer and a few other matters and
pleaded with those who had announced
their intention of standing by him to
help put the councilmen in their seats,
that they might uphold him. The mayor S

cate the present High school entirely, but
to make 1t q trades school pure and sim
pie. There has been an increasing en-
rollment IN the manual training, domes-
tic science and mechanical arts classes
at the High school during recent years,
and It Is felt that the present buildings
will be completely filled within short
time after the split comes.
The east side High school viii be for
the regular courses, eliminating the
trades end. and there viii be plenty for
these branches. It is a known fact that
hundreds OF young people DO not attend
the High school. owing to the crowded
condition there. and these would be TAX
en- care OF at either one or the other
Of the two schools in case the bond cleo
ton was successful.
1t is pointed out that 70 win not be
long before Salt Lake win need still an
other High school building. The south
eastern part Of the city is growing rap
IDLY, and Il is declared that before many
years have passed it will be ALSO
llutely z necessary 70 construct another fs
children In that part Of the city. At the
present time, these children either attend
the west side High school or they dom
attend at all. But In many cases they
away. The same thing Will be true OF
the east side school, though to lesser
degree.
City Is Growing.
Hundreds OF homes have been estab-
lished in the southeastern part OF the
city along the east bench as far as Four
tenth East street and to Twelfth South
street. Many residents Of Sugar House
are now asking for admission Of a large
area to Salt Lake, and Forest Dale and
contiguous country is also on the point
Of coming IN. Besides this, there are
tracts of land which are being pushed TO
the front by real estate firms and upon
which many homes have been erected
during the last year, and many more Will
follow In 1910 and the years to follow.
Some of these tracts are now out Of the
city limits, but those back OF them are
asking for admission to the city.
At the west side school the board of
education has been forced to take all
but four rooms of the old Union grade
school for High school purposes, owing
to the crowded condition OF the other
buildings on the grounds And next year
the whole OF the Union viii have to be
turned over to the High school, 1t is be-
lieved. Even then there Will be too lit
tie room for the students.
Il is pointed out that even II the bond
election Is successful II will be two years
before the High school on the east side
will be ready for the public. There will
be the purchase Of the ground and the
work Of erecting the building, besides
many other preliminary matters which
Will consume q good deal Of time. The
purpose Of the board, however, is to push
the matter as fast as possible, and IL is
therefore putting the day of election
about the middle Of next month for the
purpose OF getting the matter started al
once.
