A UNIVERSAL FOOD Following Natures Footsteps

q have a boy, two years old, weigh ing forty pounds and in perfect health who has been raised on Grape Nuts and milk. t
 .~rhis is an ideal food and evidently furnishes the clements necessary for a baby as well as for adults We have used Grape-Nuts in large quantities and greatly to our advantage"
 One advantage about Grape-Nufs food is that it is pre- digested in the process of manufaet uTe; that is, the starch contained in the wheat and bar lev is transformed into form of sugar by the same method as this pro- cess is carried out in the human body, that is, by the use of moisture and Ioug exposure to moderate waru1fh which grows the diastaSe in the grains and makes the remarkable change from starch to sugar.
 Therefore, the most delicate stomach can handle Grape Nuts and the food is quickly absorbed into the blood and tissue. certain parts of 1t going direct Iy to building and nourishing the brain and nerve centres

CENSUS M EN
Covering Their Territory Rapidly and
 Satisfactorily.

Putnam's census enumerators are right on their jobs and all the in formation that the government re- quires relative to census matters has already been tabulated against the names of hundreds of Putnam resi- dents. George B. Tracy is doing the work in Ward No. 1, Louis F. Butley, appointed in place of Merrill P. Paine. in Ward No. ?, Armand J: Lizotte and Edmund R. Gagne in Ward No. 3, Adclphus P. Leavitt in Ward No. 4, atnd Royden E. Decatur in parts of the town outside the city limits.
 The guessing is that when they have finished their labors the total number of persons accredited to the town of Putnam will be in excess of 7.34S, which was the total when the census of 1900 was taken.
 The census of 1900 showed that Put nam had made gain of 836 during the ten years between that date and 1890, the time of the second last enumeration. The prophets say that 5000 or better will be Putnam's rat- ing for 1910.

Penalty of $1oo and Costs for Violating
 Liquor Law-An Appeal Taken.

Eli Dagenias was found guilty of having reputation of violating the liquor laws by Judge Harry D. Back in the town court Monday morning and was fined s100 and costs. The count against the defendant alleging the keeping of liquors with intent to sell was not sustained by the court.
 The court room was crowded. even beyond standing room capacity when the time came for taking up the case, but because of the lack of ventilation and it's attendant discomforts, Judge Back ordered the room cleared.
 Attorney Arthur G. Bill prosecuted for the state. Attorney Charles L. Tor rey of Danielson was counsel for MT. Dagenias.
 The hearing was long drawn out, many witnesses testifying as to Da- genias' reputation relative to selling liquor. The majority of them gave as evidence their knowledge Of what kind of a place he kept from their own ob- servations and from what other per- sons had said to them relative to the place. Business men with places in the vicinity of Dagenias' place told, in answer to questions. what they had seen about the basement of the Ev- ans block. but none of them said fair ly that he believed that liquor was be- ing sold in the place.
 William Hamilton and Arthur Gay, now serving time at Brooklyn jail for becoming intoxicated, were brought
 
 was practically the same as that which they gave the court after they were sentenced to jail about three weeks ago. Both claim to have purchased whiskey of the defendant.
 The state introduced other witnesses whose testimony aided in strengthen ing the effort to establish reputation. The count alleging keeping with fn- tent to sell was regarded as not proved by the state and the court did not find the defendant guilty on it.
 Dagenias appealed from the decis- ion His bond was fixed at $500. which was furnished sby s. P. Humphrey.
