A Surprise in Brooklyn.

An adults food that can save q
baby proves itself to be nourishing and
easily digested and good for big and
little folks. A Brooklyn man says:
when baby was about eleven
months old he began to grow thin and
pale. This was, at first, attributed to
the heat and the fact that his teeth
were coming, but, in reality. the poor
little thing was starving, his mothers
milk not being sufficient nourishment
"One day after he had cried bitterly
for an hour. suggested that my wife
try him on Grape-Nuts. She soaked
two teaspoonfuls in saucer with
little sugar and warm milk. This baby
ate SO ravenously that she fixed a sec.
ond which he likewise finished.
1T was not many days before he for
got all about being nursed, and has
since lived almost exclusively on
Grape-Nuts. Today the boy is strong
and robust. and as cute mischief
is expected to be.
I'VE have PITT before him other
foods, but he will have none Of them

which did him SO much good-his old
friend GrapeNuts.

forth the state is to be canvassed with the
end in view Of nominating delegates to the

them for their course in the senate. They
have antagonizcd the administration not
only on the tariff, but on the postal saw

leave our duties here for the present, but
we do not doubt that our friends will take

deprecate the effect of the conflict upon
the party, but so far as our personal in

for nothing better as 1t will give us an
opportunity to make a fight and to show
why we have pursued the course we have
pursued in Washington. We do not fear
