1t was not until Gertrude and Rosie

evidently planned before he came.

WISE WORDS.
A Physician on Food.

A physician, Of Portland, Oregon.
has views about food. He says:
Il have always believed that the
duty of the physician does not cease
with treating the sick, but that we
owe it TO humanity to teach them how
to protect their health, especially by
hygienic and dietetic laws
With such a feeling as to my duty
| take great pleasure in saying to the
public that in my own experience and
also from personal observation l have
found no food equal to Grape-Nuts,
to the great benefits this food will
bring when used in all cases of sick
ness and convalescence.
1t Is my experience that no physi-
cal condition forbids the use of Grape
Nuts. To persons in health there is
nothing so nourishing and acceptable
to the stomach, especially at break
fast, to start the machinery of the hu.
man system on the days work.
In cases of Indigestion l know that
complete breakfast can be made of
Grape-Nuts and cream and think it is
not advisable to overload the stomach
at the morning meal. l also know the
great value Of Grape-Nuts when the
stomach is too weak to digest other
food.
This is written after an experience
of more than 20 years, treating all
manner Of chronic and acute diseases,
and the letter is written voluntarily
on my part without any request for it."

Say, Take Reward
or Stop Talking
Seattle Company offers Reward of
$1,000 to Knockers If They
Will Produce an Equal
Record.

During the past five years over
900 losses in the state of Washing
ton have been sustained and paid
within an average time of one and
two-thirds days after receipt of
proof by the Northwestern Mutual
Fire Association. OF all the losses
sustained in that time, amounting
to about 100000, only 1853, or
about one-twentieth of 1 per cent,
has been paid by order of the
court. In that case the Associa-
ton was sued for 5000, and the
court decided that 1868 was the
amount it should pay. This incl
dent simply shows that to pay the
amount asked in every case would
be to pay a premium on dishonesty
at the expense of the honest policy
holder.
To any of its competitors who
have been inclined to knock by
claiming that the Northwestern
Mutual has not promptly and
equitably settled every legitimate
claim we offer a reward of $1,000
to produce an equal record from
any other company on business
done in this state.

DAYS DO|NGS IN

KNOX SIMMONS GOES TO "PEN"
ON LARCENY CHARGE-PARDON
RECOMM LNDED.

Attorney James Coleman, sued out
writ of habeas corpus for one w. H..
Conley, who was wanted in Love
county for the crime of larceny of a
horse.
Sheriff Al Davis, of Love county,
through the county attorney of this
county, filed his answer to the appli-
cation, and the court set the hearing
for the noon hour. At l o'clock At
torney Coleman dismissed his petit
ion and Sheriff Davis left on the af-
ternoon train with his prisoner for
Marietta.
The facts of the case, as learned
through Sheriff Davis are as follows:
The sheriff had taken on execution
number of stock, and young Conley,
while said stock was in the posses
sion of the sheriff, took one of the
horses and made his getaway with
said horse.
Judge Russell was about the busi-
est man in the city yesterday. He ad-
journed court as 5 o'clock for the holi-
days. Many demurrers and motions
@ere heard by him.
Tom Pryor, convicted of robbery
the last term of court in October,
who had appealed his case, withdrew
mis- appeal and was sentenced to six
teen months imprisonment in the pen
itentiary. Sheriff Akers left this
morning with the prisoner. He also
took with him Knox Simmons, con
victed of larceny of two mules and
given four years sentence in the pen
itentiary. Simmons appealed his
case, but the criminal court OF ap-
peals recently affirmed the decision
of the lower court. Simmons has been
a notorious character in this country
for years. Being negro freedman
and almost white, he has passed as
white man in many places and fig

the shrewdest criminals of this couu-

have invaded the heart of the district

an application for the parole of Joe
Robertson. The people of this COM
munity know Joe Robertson well. He
was reared here, his people all live
here. This is the first trouble of any
kind young Robertson ever was in,
and his parole will meet with the ap-
proval of the people of this county.

Ever Get Bit?

Did you ever go to make a pur.
chase of a certain article because you
had read about it, or had used it be-
fore and liked it, to find when you
got home and compared it with the
genuine, that it was a rank imitation ?
Imitation is a sincere form of flattery,
and it is always goods of real merit
that are initiated.
This article is printed as a warning
to our readers to be careful and see
that they get the genuine when pur-
chasing a well advertised article, like
CASCARETS, for instance, which is
said to be initiated more than any
other cathartic on the market. Never
accept substitute, of anything unless
you want inferior goods.
