One quick glance at the weapon

stranger explained
The warden came to his feet with
white face and nails biting into the
palms Of his hands. He still held the
revolver as he advanced upon the
masked man threateningly.

1T Is CRIMINAL TO NEGLECT

Suddenly he was seized by a VIC
lent, maddening rage. He took one
step forward and raised the empty
revolver to strike. The masked man
moved slightly to one side and his
clenched fist caught the warden ON
the point of the chin. The official went
down without a sound and lay still,
inert. A moment later the door lead
ing into the corridor Of the prison
opened, and Signor Petrozinni, ac-
companied by one of the guards, en-
tered the warden's Office. The masked
man glanced around at them, and with
a motion of his head indicated the
door leading to the street. They
passed through, closing the door be-

THE LITTLE WIDOW
a Mighty Good Sort of Neighbor to

! ga little widow, neighbor of mine,
persuaded me to try Grape-Nuts when

San Bernardino Co., Cal.
Il had been i'll and confined to my
bed with fever and nervous prostra-
ton TOR three long. months after the
birth of my second boy. We were in
despair until the little widows advice
brought relief.
Il liked Grape-Nuts food from the
beginning, and in an incredibly short
time it gave me such strength that I
was able to leave my bed and enjoy
my three good meals a DAY. In 2
months my weight increased from 95
to 113 .peunds,s my nerves had steadied
down and felt ready for anything.
My neighbors were amazed to see me
gain so rapidly, and still more so
when they heard that Grape Nuts
alone had brought the change.
MY 4-year-old boy had eczema very
bad last spring and lost his appetite
entirely, which made him cross and
peevish. I put him on diet of Grape
Nuts, which he relished at once. He
improved from the beginning, the &C.

STATE AND COUNTY ADVER-
TISING.

Fargo Courier After rather
extended experience in the boosting
line for cities and the state, we are OF
the opinion that this work should be
left entirely in the hands of the COM
missioner of agriculture and labor, and
who is also immigration commissioner.
For several years Commissioner Gll-
breath has covered this field with great
satisfaction to the people generally, al
though, of course, it is possible some
localities may think they did not get
their share of advertising. However
that may be, we believe the commits
sioner has been actuated by sincere
desire to do justice to all, and we
think good results have been obtained.
A number of bills have appeared in
the legislature from time to time pro-
viding funds to be used by the county
commissioners for advertising their
county. While we do not want to be
thought disrespectful of these worthy
officials, we must maintain that not
they. but trained advertising men,
