PUZZLED
Hard Work, Sometimes, to Raise
Children.

Children's 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
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 child
eat with such a relish, and 1t did me
good to see him. From that day ON
1t seemed as though we could almost
see him grow. He would eat Grape
Nuts for breakfast and supper. and !
think he would have liked the food
for dinner.
THE difference in his appearance Is
something wonderful.
My husband had never fancied ce-
real foods of any kind. but he be-
came very fond of Grape-Nuts and has
been much improved In health since
using 1t.
1--WE are now a healthy family, and
naturally believe in Grape-Nuts.
"A friend has two children who were
formerly afflicted with ricketts,. I was
satisfied that the disease was caused
by lack of proper nourishment. They
showed it. So l urged her to use
Grape-Nuts as an experiment and the
result was almost magical.
They continued the food and today
both children are well and strong as
any children in this city. and, Of
course. my friend is firm believer in
Grape-Nuts for she has the evidence
before her eyes every day."

Promoters of Carey act projects in
the state of Idaho for which segre-
cations have not been granted are
confronted with a serious situation,
according to a letter received by
Register NJ. I. Church of the state
land board from Acting Commits
sioner S. V. Proudft Of the general
land Office. The state officials have
been accepting applications for seq
regations, believing that 100000
acres of land were available under
the Carey act, and amendments en-
acted by the last session of congress.
The acting commissioner calls atten-
ton to statement made in the last
report of the state land department
to the effect that 2,272,OOO acres
had been segregated or appropria-
ted (by the state) and aserts that
but 100000 acres had been grant
ed to the state of Idaho.
"All lists, which will bring the
amount of land applied for and ag-
gregated over that figure" he states.
will be rejected by this Office"
Under the Carey act as originally
passed, Idaho was granted 100000
acres, subject to reclamation in ac-
cordance with it's provisions. May
25s 1909, a joint resolution waa
enacted by congress authorizing an
additional grant of 100000 acres,
and on May 27 an amendment was
passed providing for a grant of
100000 acres. The letter from
the acting commissioner indicates
that the general land Office recog-
nizes only the amendment and re-
CARDS the resolution as a mere mat
ter of procedure, comforting no
actul right upon the state.

Attorney General d. c. McDougal,
who is now in Washington, d. c.,
has been telegraphed and will take
the matter up with the secretary of
