Why Were Lawyers Needed:
Mr.. Umlauf seconded DR.. Reade's
motion, saying that such an investiga-
ton should be held that justice might
be done both to the two men ac-
cused, and to the membership of the
Council. MI. Umlauf said he had not
charged that there was anything dis
honest or discreditable, but that ii
had appeared strange to him that
milk dealers should be required to have
paid attorneys TO convince the Health
Board that good feed was whole-
some. He could not see why, when
the dealers asked such relief, 1t could
not be granted by the board until

Messrs. Wise and Pollock contend
that the money was paid to eompen-
cate them for their services as attor-
neys at law for SECURING the recon-,

for obtaining from the Chief Health
Officer his permission to suspend prose

of the parties who contributed TO the

with the understanding that the monoy

Messrs. Wise and Pollock until the

the dog finally remained motionless,

CHANGE, THE VIBRATION
1T Makes For Health,

A man tried leaving off meat, po-
tatoes, coffee, and etc., and adopted a
breakfast of fruit, Grape-Nuts with
cream, some crisp toast and a cup of
Postum.
His health began to improve at
once for the reason that a meat eater
will reach place once in a while
where his system seems to become
clogged and the machinery doesn't
work smoothly.
A change of this kind puts aside
food of low nutritive value and takes
up food and drink Of the highest
value, already quickly digested and
capableeof being quickly changed into
good, rich blood and strong tissue.
A most valuable feature of Grape
Nuts is the natural phosphate of pot
ash grown in the grains from which
it is made. This is the element which
transforms albumen in the body into
soft gray substance which fills brain
and nerve centres.
