FOOD QUESTION
Settled with Perfect Satisfaction.

It's not an easy matter to satisfy all
the members of the family at meal
time, as every housewife knows.
And when the husband can't eat
ordinary food without causing trouble,
the food question becomes doubly an
noying.
An Illinois woman writes:
"My husbands health was poor, he
had no appetite for anything I could
get for him. it seemed.
HE suffered severely with stomach
trouble, was hardly able to work, was
taking medicine continually, and as
soon as he would feel better would go
to work again only to give up in a few
weeks.
"One day, seeing an advertisement
about Grapefruit I got some and he
tried it for breakfast the next morn
ing.
I'VE all thought it was pretty good
although we had no idea Of using it
regularly. But when my husband
came home at night he asked for
Grape-Nuts.
ct was the same next day and
had to get it right along. because
WHEN We WOulU Sct " lAc thoiC ShO
question, Have you any Grape-Nuts'
was a regular thing. So l began to
buy it by the dozen pkgs.
my husbands health began to i'm
prove right along. l sometimes felt
offended when I'd make something l
thought he would like for a change,
and still hear the same old question.
Have you any Grape-Nuts?
He got so well that for the last two
years he has hardly lost day from
his work. and we are still using
Grape-Nuts."

one appears from time to time. They

EAST ktLLINeLY CEMETERY
Neglected and Forgotten-Petition to
 Have Town Care for 1t.

A petition asking that care be given the Old East Killingly cemetery. near the Tucker district of the town. is about ready to be presented to the se- lectmen of Killingly. The petition. which bears more than score of signatures Of taxpayers and citizens of the town asks that the cemetery be cleared of weeds. brush and debris and that the headstones out of alignment be strengthened and the appearance of the cemetery generally improved, the petition also directing attention to the statute which requires that towns shall keep such old cemeteries cleared at an expense not to exceed $100 a year.
 The cemetery is of historic inter est. Stones within it's acre and a. half show that some of the several hundred people believed to be buried there were laid at rest as long ago as 172O and that as a burial place the cemetery was in use for more than 100 years.
 Appended to the petition is list of names taken from headstones in the cemetery. some of them indicating that the persons who bore them may have fought for American independence in the Revolutionary war-Captain James Westcott, who died in 1911, and Cap- tain James Cutler, for instance. Some time since, members of the D A. R, started to do something toward the arrangements for care of the cene- tery, but met with unexpected oppo- sition,
 The cemetery was originally a part of 8 farm owned by Mary, Peter and Sarah Bateman and town records show that when they sold the farm, in 1759, they reserved the cemetery section, Since that time the far improperly has changed hands a number of times, the cemetery became neglected and. by most of the people now here, unheard of or forgotten. Members of Sarah Williams Danielson chapter, D. A. R., are interested in the movement to have the selectmen improve the old burial place, which is surrounded by farm land.

SORROW FOR suPT. AmEs.
Local Friends Hold Impaired Health
 Responsible for His Wife's Suicide.

Universal sympathy was expressed here Monday over the tragedy at Nor wieh that resulted, during the early hours of Monday morning at the Back us hospital, in the death of Mrs. Albert $. Ames, wife of the supervisor of schools in Killingly and Brooklyn, and caused MT. Ames to suffer a nervous collapse. Mrs. Ames, who has been on the border ofx invalidism for several years, lived here for time after her husband came here to take up his school work, but has been in Boston regularly returning there for week end visits at his home. Her i'll health is accepted as the cause of Mrs. Ames' rash act.
 During the past year Mrs. Anes has been at times so i'll as to be unable to leave her room and there were oc- casions when her recovery was des- paired of Her condition greatly wor- ried MT. Ames and has undoubtedly proved a great strain upon him. Only a few weeks ago his own health gave him some cause for worry, as it was believed he would be obliged to sub- init to an operation for appendicitis. After consultation with a specialist he found that he might forego the operation for the present, but the at tack left him in somewhat shattered physical condition, though he con- t1nued with great QeIefmlnaLIon to ap- ply himself to his arduous duties in this town and in Brooklyn. Close friends here believe that, in his weak ened condition, the shock he suffered Saturday night on learning of his wife's act was even more severe than it otherwise would have been, though grievous in any case.
 Mrs. Ames came to Danielson Sat urday for her first visit here in a long time and later went to Norwich with her husband.
 While expressions of sorrow were heard on every side Monday, members of the town school committee and
