In my forty years experience as a
teacher and practitioner along hy-
gienic lines.' says Los Angeles

benefit of the general health of all
classes of people.
'T have recommended Grape Nuts
for a number Of years to patients with
the greatest success and every years
experience makes me more enthusias-
tic regarding its use.
'I make it a rule to always recon-
mend Grape-Nuts. and Postum in place
Of coffee, when giving my patients in
structions as to diet. for know both
Grape-Nuts and Postum can be digest
ed by anyone.
"As for myself, when engaged In
much mental work my diet twice q
day consists of Grape-Nuts and rich
cream. l find it just the thing to
build up gray matter and keep the
brain in good working order.
TN addition to its wonderful effects
as a brain and nerve food Grape Nuts
always keeps the digestive organs in
perfect, healthy tone. l carry it with
me when I travel, otherwise l am al.
most certain to have trouble with my
stomach" Name given by Postum Co..

1T IS CRIMINAL TO NEGLECT
THE SKIN AND HAIR

Think Of the suffering entailed by
neglected skin troubles-mental be-
cause Of disnguration, physical be-
cause Of pain. Think of the pleasure
Of a clear skin, soft, white hands. and
good hair. These blessings. 70 essen-
tial to happiness and even success In
life. are often only q matter Of little
thoughtful care in the selection OF
effective remedial agents. Cutcura
Soap and Ointment do SO much for
poor compilations, red. rough hands,
and dry. thin and falling hair. and cost
SO little, that 1t is almost criminal not
to use them. Although Cuticura Soap
and Ointment are sold everywhere, a
postal to "Cuticura," Dept L, Bos-
ton, will secure liberal sample Of
each, with 32-page booklet on skin
and scalp treatment.

steamboat sprino.-craio Railroad.

Steamboat Springs.-One of the
richest mineral sections OF the West
is to be tapped by an extension OF the
Moffat road from Steamboat Springs
to Craig in Routt county. The new
road will be forty miles in length and
will draw traffic and develop more
than 1900 square miles OF rich coal
lands and vast areas adaptable to any
kind of agricultural development The
project will cost 100000.
The articles of incorporation of the
building company are being prepared
for filing with the secretary of state.
group OF Bear valley capitalists are
financing the road. They commenced
the survey four months age when the
Denver, Northwestern & Pacific com
pany seemed to be on the verge OF a
receivership.
In opening up Routt county. the pro-
posed line, it is claimed, will be OF
more direct benefit than is the Mof-
fat road, since the new line penetrates
further into the actually productive
section. The line will follow the
course Of the Bear river.
According TO John ]. Argo, engi-
neer for the incorporators Of the new
company, no one connected with the
Denver, Northwestern & Pacific is af-
filiatcd with the men who have pro-
NOTED the scheme, but it is considered
logical that the line will ultimately D.
purchased by the Moffat interests.
A traffic arrangement for it Will
have to be made with the Moffats to
insure an outlet. The Bear valley IL
nanciers have had to dicker with the
Moffat interests for large part OF
their right-of-way.
According to Argo the grading work
will be commenced this summer and
will be finished by January l. 1915.
During the summer of 1913 the laying
Of the rails will be completed.

FIXED UP PAPHs MATTRESS
Little Elizabeth Did Good Job, But
He Didnt Seem to Appre-
cIate II.

Elizabeth" said Mr.. Jones' to his
ten-year-old daughter, ''tha mattress
on my bed needs punching up; it's
like a bowl and always roll down
into the middle. II you'll fix It up
nice I'll give You quarter
The bait was aiiuring, and Eliza
beth worked hard, ripping open the
mattress and making its contents as
fluffy as she could. But she found It
hard task. Then an idea came, She
repaired 70 the back yard and picked
up half dozen tomato cans. These
she placed uprighf on the spiral
springs.
Sure enough, when the mattress
was placed on the springs 1t looked
fine and 1t was with pleased express
sion that Elizabeth reported her task
done when her father returned in the
evening.
Here's the quarter" said the faith
or, and Elizabeth and her two smaller
sisters straightway repaired to the
nearest Ice cream parlor to spend it.
After the girls were fast asleep
they heard series of noises from
their fathers room. He had just re-
tired and had discovered the tomato
cans. The girls, listening, heard
some language that was impatient, to
say the least, and then heard a series
of rafting sounds as the cans were
thrown onto the floor. Then 1t be-
came quieter.
Next morning Elizabeth was not
complimented on her work. Instead
the father had q few words to say
about foolish little girls.
But the three sisters, having had
their Ice cream. didn't care as much,
perhaps as they should.
