CUBS FOOD
They Thrive on Grape-NutG.

Healthy babies don't cry and the
well-nourished baby that Is fed on
Grape-Nuts is never a crying BABY.
Many babies who cannot take any
other food relish the perfect food,
Grape-Nuts, and get well.
"My baby was given up by three
doctors who said that the condensed
milk on which l had fed her had
ruined the child's stomach. One OF
the doctors told me that the only
thing to do would be to try Grape
Nuts, SO got some and prepared 1t as
follows: l soaked liz tablespoonfuls
in one pint of cold water for half an
hour. then strained off the liquid and
mixed IL teaspoorfuls of this strained
Grape-Nuts juice with six teaspoonfuls
of rich milk, put in pinch of salt and
q little sugar, warmed it and gave IL
to baby every two hours.

CAT ENJOYED THE COMEDY
But of the Four Principals Involved.
Tom Was the Only One That
Had a Laugh Coming.

This is the tale Of a cat with a
sense of humor.
Mrs. Youngwife went to an cast end
butcher shop the other day. When
she entered, the greeting was a high
pitched shrek. Naturally she shrieked,
too, and then looked to see what the
trouble was. Mrs. Butcher, in charge
of the shop in her husbands absense,
stood on a small box. Before her stood
large black cat, CLEAN of fun In
his yellow eyes and a mouse in his
mouth.
A moment the tableau held. Then
the cat walked away and Mrs. Butcher
started fearfully behind the counter.
The cat followed her and dropped the
mouse at her feet. Two screams, the
fiutter of skirts, and Mrs. Butcher
again was SAFE on the box, and Mrs.
Youngwife sat on the counter, her feet
sticking straight out. her skirts gath

In the American Magazine there
was an amusing story entitled
"The Honor of the Bluebottles." Aunt
Lucinda Bluebottle of Boston ran into
young man, who used a bad word.
Aunt Lucinda goes on:
"The young mans language was not
refined. He said he'd be damned, and
that is exactly what will happen to
him, / am sure, for whatever else
heaven may be, am convinced it will
not be vulgar"

Predicament of a suffragist.

A well-known university professor
who has taken much interest in the
woman suffrage movement was per-
suaded to carry banner in parade
that was held in New York some
months ago.
His wife observed him marching
with detected air and carrying his
banner SO that it hung Imply on Its
standard, and later she reproved him
for not making better appearance.
why didn't you march like some
body, and let people see your banner"
she said.

fessor, did you sec what was ON the
banner? 1t read, ANY man can vote.

, the cat had it again, and again walked
away. Mrs Butcher stepped off the

to go behind the counter. Again the
