A gentleman who has acquired a ju-

opinion as to the value of Grape Nuts
as food. He says:
For the past S years Grape-Nuts

nutty favor has become an indis-
pensable necessity In my family

of the act passed by the legislature

1911. From a careful consideration
of the reasoning by the court in the
opinion citew and quoted from, |

my opinion that a Waterman is,
nuder the language of the statute

tended to be included in the express
sion and term workingman' and
as such, cannot, under said law,
be required or obliged to work
on or about the surface workings

riod Of "a hours, except in case of
emergency when life or property is
in imminent danger. To do so
would constitute a violation of the
law by the person employed in
that capacity, as well as the en-
ployer, and for such service rem
dered in violation of the law, no
compensation could be legally
claimed by resort to the courts.
