couldn't bulge It, He was in a panic

Mrs. Gabriel of Norwood O., who

Help! Help" Frightened, and not
knowing whence the cry came, nor the
occasion of it, she hurried her step.
They were taking her nearer the tomb
and as she approached 1t the cries
grew louder. She thought Of the
lereek which flows behind the tomb
and. thinking that possibly some one
had fallen into 1t, she ran to the bank
Then the voice seemed to come from

NO MEDICINE
But Change of Food Gave Final Relief

Most diseases start in the alimen-
tary canal-stomach and bowels.
A great deal of our stomach and
bowel troubles come from eating too
much starchy and greasy food.
The stomach does not digest any
of the starchy food we eat-white
bread, pastry, potatoes, oats, ETC.
these things are digested in the small
intestines, and if we eat too much, as
most of us do, the organs that should
digest this kind of food are overcome
by excess Of work, so that fermenta-
ton, indigestion, and a long train OF
ails result.
Too much fat also is hard to digest
and this is changed into acids, sour
stomach, belching gas, and bloated,
heavy feeling.
In these conditions a change from
indigestible foods to Grape-Nuts will
work wonders in not only relieving
the distress but in building up a
strong digestion, clear brain and
steady nerves. A Wash. woman

saloon on West Pike street Sunday

aperture thus made, the robbers
reached through and unfastened the
door by springing lock and SHOW
ing bolt. The door leads into a
small hallway, which opens into a
side alley. Going to the front of the
saloon, the thieves worked the com
bination of a small safe. (which stands
behind a front window beside a roll
top desk. The shade of the window
is usually left about half drawn and
this afforded protection from the
street.

glars found key to a small steel
money compartment underneath a
money sack and they unlocked the
compartment, taking therefrom all
the money in it. leaving several
checks. a sack containing $50 in the
safe and another sack containing a
