Found In Change to Right Food.

After one suffers for months from
acid dyspepsia, sour stomach, and
then finds the remedy is in getting the
right kind Of food, It is something to
speak about.
A N. Y. lady and her young son had
such an experience and she wants
others to know how to get relief. She
writes:
For about fifteen months my little
boy and myself had suffered with
sour stomach. We we're unable to re-
tain much Of anything we ate.
After suffering in this way for 30
long l decided to consult a specialist
in stomach diseases. Instead OF pre-
scribing drugs, he put us both on
Garpe-Nuts and we began to improve
Immediately.
1T was the key to a new life. l
found we had been eating too much
heavy food which we could not digest.
In few weeks after commencing
Grape-Nuts, was able to do my
Homework. I wake in the morning
with a clear head and feel rested and
have no sour stomach. My boy sleeps
we'll and wakes with laugh.
I'VE have regained our lost welgns
and continue to eat Grape-Nuts for
both the morning and evening meals
We are we'll and happy and owe 1t to

In the report on the buying Of the

here:

PROGRESS is Reported.


Communications from j. P. Dickson
on school sanitation and ventilation
and from E. A. French on a new
school building at Waterloo were re-
ceived and fled.
A committee composed Of Memb ers
Tucker and Woolley was named to
make disposition Of the house which
is situated On the newly purchased
Lincoln school lots.
Chairman Woolley of the building
committee reported progress. He said
he had gone over the seventh ward
school plans with Mr.. Aldrich and 1t
was believed that by cutting on the
length of the building few feet and
making some minor changes some
thing like a thousand dollars could
be saved. 1t was decided not to try
to advertise for bids for the basement
first as it was believed that 1t would
be more satisfactory to advertise Tor
all bids at once, and then If changes
were made In the upper two floors
that would effect the basement there
would be less worry and trouble.
To Visit cities.
Architect Radcliffe will visit several
cities at his own expense, and the
hoard voted to send Mr.. Wolley and
s,perintendent Aldricn with him.
they will visit Waterloo and perhaps
other towns.
On motion OF Member Woolley, the
iunior class is given the use or the
halls and three rooms in the hlgh
scbooi for dressing room and service
for the banquet to be given the
seniors. This was done In the effort
To stop the growing expense OF the
banauets which is making too big
drain on the pocket books, 1t was de-
clared.
A number Of persons have protest
cd tn the board against taking up
run;,s time with talks and lectures
some of which touch on politics and
religion despite the embargo on such
subjects which superintendent Aldrich
has always impos I'd. The board pass
ed . resolution declaring that schools
should not be used during school
hours for addresses except by permits
sion OF the board or by Invitation OF
the superintendent.
Chairman Hamill reported progress
on the part Of the committee to sell
bonds.

CLAIMS HERSON|S
 R|GHTFUL HEIR Mrs. Dorothy Slingsby De- nies Substituting for Him
 Another Infant

London, December s.-Mrs. Dorothy singsby. wife of Lieut.. Charles R Slingsby of San Francisco denied in the probate court today the allegation that her, son. heir to the Slingsby. estate in Yorkshire, had died and that she had substituted for him another infant. Mrs. Slingsby was subjected to a SC we're cross examination, during which were brought up statements made by witnesses at the hearing held in San francisco by the California board of health, which led the board to decide that her son had died and that she had substituted child belonging to Mrs. Lillian Anderson of California.
 Mrs. Slingsby met these statements with succession of denials She ad- mitted she had arranged for the in sertion of an advertisement in a San Francisco newspaper concerning the adoption of child. but said she had done so merely to gratify a whim She said she had not accepted from any person any child for adoption and swore that the present claimant was her own child.
 Upon the decision of the court de- bends the disposition of an estate valued at $500,000.
