PUZZLED
Hard Work, Sometimes, to Raise
Children.

Childrens taste Is ofttimes more ac-
curate, in selecting the right kind OF
food to fit the body, than that OF
adults. Nature works more accurate
ly through the children.
A Brooklyn lady says: "Our little
boy had long been troubled with
weak digestion. We could never per.
suade him to take more than one taste
Of any kind of cereal food. He was
a weak little chap and we were puz-
zled to know what to feed him on.
"One lucky day we tried Grape
Nuts. Well, you never saw a child
eat with such relish, and it did me
good to see him. From that day on
Il seemed as though we could almost
see him grow. He would eat Grape
Nuts for breakfast and supper. and ]
hink he would have liked the food

something wonderful.

Sumnoned-lndicted Men Plan
Vigorous Defense.

Chicago. - The trial of the ten
meat packers of Chicago indicted
on the charge of violating the Sher.

Der IA. This was made known when
deputy United States marshals were
handed twenty-five subpoenas with in
structions to serve them upon those
witnesses who testified before the fed
eral grand jury that brought in the
true bills against the beef barons
The news came as a distinct sur
prise to the lawyers for the defense.
All the subpoenas are returnable on
Nov. IA.
1t was reported that additional in
dictments will be returned when the
jury resumes its sessions next Mon
day.
Messrs. j. Ogden Armour. the three
Swifts, Edward Morris, Edward Til
den and the others under indictment
as individuals, have made all of their
plans for a vigorous defense and
their lawyers say they are ready for
the fray at any time. Several con-
situations have been held and the
counsel for the defendants say they
can see nothing but an acquittal
1t was rumored in the federal build
ing that the government lawyers, two
of whom, Pagin and Tilkerson. are
here from the attorney generals de-
partment in Washington, are drawing
the additional indictments which il
is believed will be voted and signed
on Monday.
Unusual secrecy has been a feature
of the investigation thus far and
members of the staff have received
special instructions not to discuss
present grand jury work upon pain
of dismissal
Secrecy marked the issuance of the
subpoenas. Many of the govern
ment's witnesses will be called from
out of town.

Declares He Found No
other Cause.

London.-On the resumption of the
trial of DR.. Hawley H. Crippen and
his typist, Ethel Leneve, charged
with the staying of the formers wife,
Belle Elmore, the actress, DIR. William
Henry Wilcox, scientific analyst to the
home office, who discovered poison in
the body found in Crippen's residence,
went on the witness stand and swore
that death was caused by the deadly
drug.
The physician described the nature
of the medium used and said that
from a quarter to half grain would
prove fatal. He had found two-sev-

to eight months, and judged that more
tran half a grain had been admins
tered. He found no other cause of
death and expressed the opinion that
the victim survived the dose an hour

pleasant character of the testimony
