DOCTORS SHIFT.
Now Gets Along Without II.

A physician says: Until last fall I
used to eat meat for my breakfast and
suffered with indigestion until the
meat had passed from the stomach.
Last fall began the use OF Grape
Nuts for breakfast and very soon
found could do without meat, for my
body got all the nourishment neces-
sary from the Grape-Nuts and since
then / have not had any Indigestion
and am feeling better and have In
creased in weight.
"Slnce finding the benefit derived
from Grape-Nuts have prescribed the
food for all my patients suffering from
indigestion or overlooking and also
for those recovering from disease
where 1 want food easy to take and
certain to digest and which will not
oyertax the stomach.
81 always find the results I look for
when l prescribe Grape-Nuts. For
ethical reasons please omit my name"
Name given by mail by Postum Co,
Battle Creek, Mich.
The reason for the wonderful
amount of nutriment, and the easy
digestion Of Grape-Nuts is not hard to
find.
In the first place, the starehy part
Of the wheat and barley goes through
various processes Of cooking. to per-
fectly change the starch into dextrose
or grape-sugar, in which state # is
ready to be easily absorbed by the
blood.
The parts in the wheat and barley
which Nature can make use Of for re-
building brain and nerve centers are
retained in this remarkable food and
thus the human body is supplied with
the powerful strength producers, so
easily noticed after one has eaten
Grape-Nuts each day for week or
ten days

ericks had held a secret meeting
with prominent members of the bar
and business men and asked their ad-
vice regarding taking such a step.
Judge Hutton, before whom the case
Is being tried, came in for serious
criticism for his manner of conduct
ing the case and in allowing open
laughter and applause from a group
OF Socialists and union men who have
been in almost constant attendance
upon the trial whenever Darrow's at
torneys made telling points.
Judge Hutton summoned one of the
newspaper representative into cham
bers and threatened to send him to
Jail for contempt If he continued men
tioning disorders in the courtroom,
because he said 1t might incite some
one to violence.
At the close of the court, every
one of the IA reporters covering the
trial went to the judges chambers
and criticized him to his face. declar-
Ing that they would print the facts
Of his conduct of the case without
hesitation.

Mothers of little babies that suffered
much from the intense heat in the
early part OF July last summer viii be
interested In the success of the baby
tent" scheme adopted in some of the
big cities.
The tents are placed on fat roofs OF
tall buildings and in open lots, with
eight little cradles or cots in each
tent When all was ready mothers
Of babies under two years we're invited
to leave them at the nearest available
tent over night, so that the young
Fters, In addition to enjoying the privi-
lege Of sleeping out of doors, could
also receive the attention of trained
nurses and doctors free.
Some of the tents have perforated
iron pipe extending along the ridge
pole and connected with the city water
supply. On very hot nights the water
was turned on and allowed to stream
down over the canvas. BY evaporar
ton 1t greatly reduced the tempera-
ture inside the tents. Some of the
tents We're also kept cool By the use
of large blocks of Ice in tubs before
the entrance. Electric fans blew the
cold air from the Ice into the tents
sufficiently to keep the babies comfort
ably cool.
This is the way some OF the poor
babies are being cared for, but the
ideas could be utilized by any one who
had the welfare Of the baby at heart.
