FEED YOU MONEY
Feed Your Brain, and 1t viii Feed
You Money and Fame.

Ever since boyhood l have been
especially fond of meats, and am con-
vinced l ate too rapidly, and failed to
masticate my food properly.
THE result was that found myself,
a few years ago, afflicted with all
ments of the stomach, and kidneys,
which interfered seriously with my
business.
"At last took the advice of friends
and began to eat Grape-Nuts instead
of the heavy meats, ETC., that had con-
stituted my former diet.
Il found that was at once bene-
fited by the change, that was soon
relieved from the heartburn and indi-
gestion that used to follow my meals,
that the pains in my back from my
kidney affection had ceased.
MY nerves, which used to be un,
steady, and my brain, which was slow
and lethargic from a heavy diet OF
meats and greasy foods, had, not in a
moment, but gradually, and none the
less surely, been restored to normal
efficiency.
Now every nerve is steady and my
brain and thinking faculties are quick
or and more acute than for years past
after my old style breakfasts used
to suffer during the forenoon from a
feeling of weakness which hindered
me seriously in my work, but since
began to use Grape-Nuts food l can
work till dinner time with all ease
and comfort" Name given by Pos

for his shifty ways, was finally in

the politician was leaving the court

sentatives of the Mexican government
and the revolutionists have signed a
peace agreement at the customs
house here intended to end the hos
tilities which have been waged in
Mexico for the last six months.
Though covering only the principal
points which have been negotiated

concession by the government of
those demands which initiated on
November goth last armed revolution
in Mexico. kilograms announcing the
signing of the agreement were dis
patched throughout Mexico to revolu

REGARDING sunday Law.

Albuquerque.- Judge Rob
erts, in his charge to the grand jury,
gave an extended Interpretation of
the Sunday law. He holds that it was
the intention of the Legislature in
passing the act to make it apply par
ticularly to saloons. He said that in
his Judgment the law did not apply
to baseball SO long as the sport was
properly conducted His decision will
be of considerable interest all over
New Mexico and particularly in Las
Vegas and Ration, where attempts
have been made recently to enforce
the observance of so-called blue
Sunday.

Just Hopes.

A gentleman never snatches his
trousers away from his wife when he
discovers her going through his pock-
cts. He only hopes she will leave him
enough with which to go downtown in
the morning. He is perfectly welcome
to go through her purse any time and
help himself to anything he can find.
That. is what married life means. A
man should not allow his feelings to
be hurt when his wife runs across
loose change or roll in his pockets;
he ought to play the game and take
such little conjugal pastimes for
granted.

legged crime, viii Rogers, charged
with the kidnapping of his nephew,
little Waldo Rogers, some time ago,
wept bitterly when he reached the

men were brought here under heavy
guard, including the sheriff and cap
tain of the mounted police, and with
the utmost secrecy, for fear of DEM
onstration against them.
