" GET POWER.
 The Supply Comes From Food.

If we get power from food, why not strive to get all the power we can. That is only possible by select ing floor that exactly fits the require .ments of the body.
 Not knowing how to select the right food to fit my needs. I suffered grievously for a long time from stomach trouble, writes a lady fron, a little Western town. 2 "It seemed as if l would never be able to find out the sort of food that was best for me. Hardly anything that I could eat would stay on my stomach. Every attempt gave mo heart burn and filled my stom ch with gas. got thinner and thinner until I literally became a living skel- eton, and in time was compelled to keep to my bed.
 "A few months ago I was persuad- cd to try Grape-Nuts food, and it had such good effect from the very be- ginning that I kept up it's use. I was surprised at the ease with which I digested it 1t proved to be just what I needed.
 "All my unpleasant symptoms, the heartburn, the inflated feeling which gave me so much pain. disa appeared. My weight gradually increased from 9S to 116 lbs, my figure rounded out, my strength came back, and I am now able to do my housework and enjoy it. Grape-Nuts did it."
 A ten days trial will show anyone some facts about food.

He had been watching. her for some time and said that on Tuesday morn ing at 1 o'clock he saw her and d male companion looking for a room on Church street. On Tuesday night at 8 o'clock he saw her promenading the street with another fellow and an hour later he saw the woman, with three men following her, sneaking be- tween some freight cars. Last night the young woman was up to her old tricks again when the officer arrested her, he said.
 After being taken into custody sho sent a note to 64 Church street and this morning sent a telegram to her husband. The accused asked that her case be continued until tomorrow so her husband can come to her rescue. Bonds were fixed at $200.
 Wife Beatcr Jailed.
 John Snyder, charged with assa ult- ing his wife Saturday night, told a woeful tale to the court this morning. He says his wife is too friendly with boardcrs and drinks to excess. She does not trouble to cook her husbands meals regularly. Hence the trouble explained the accused. He was rep 1cSenteh Oy Attorney W. F. ManRan.
 It was charged that on Saturda'- night Snyder met his wife on Small ley street and knocked her down twice, rendering her unconscious. He admitted striking his wife but says he didn't hit her hard. Snyder has already served time in jail for punch ing his wife.
 While a mar has TO right to hi his wife, Attorney Mangan thought that snyder has great provocation and som ething ought to he done to the vie. Judge Me.kill sent Snyder to jail for thirty days. Bonds were fixed at $100 in case of appeal.

THREE JITNEY MEN
 HAILED INTO COURT
Neglected to Have Lights Burning
 and One Forgot License

Disaster was spelled with big let ters for local "jitney'' drivers oper- ating between the center and the Moose carnival last night for three of them were arrested by Officer Charles Grace on Arch street, charged with violation of the law.
 Barney Kramer pleaded guilty to driving his car without his lights lighted and also to not having his registration license with him. He was arrested at 9:15 o'clock and ex- plained that when he changed his clothes he neglected to change his li- cense from one suit to the other. Re garding his lights, he thought one of his passengers might have played Q trick on him. His presto-lites were burning when he left the carnival, but as he left the key on the gas tank he thinks that some occupant of the car turned the gas off as a practical joke. Judge Meskill did not think that Kramer was entirely frank in his explanation and imposed a fine of B and costs on the first count and $2 and costs on the second.
 Upon the payment of costs of the court Omar ,Contois, another jitney driver arrested at s:30 o'clock for not having his lights lighted, was dis charged Contois explained that he had all his lights burning, but on nearing the center he attempted to shut off his glaring headlights and turn on the more dim side lights. Tn so doing he pressed the wrong but tons and all lights were extinguished.
 Officer Grace took the third jijtney man, Max Honeyman, into custody for not having red light on the rear of his machine as is specified by the state law. Honeyman had com mon barn lattern hung under his rear number plate. He said that on Tues day night the officer at city hall in formed him that his tail light was out so he purchased a lantern to use until such times as the regular lamp could be repaired. He did not 'know he was violating any law by not dis playing a red light and promised to get one at once. Not believing that the accused had any intention of vio- lating the law Judge Meskill ordered his discharge.
 Street Walker Arrested.
 Officer Axel Carlson arrested Mrs. Mary Young of Hartford for street walking on Church street last night.

ceded to have annihilated a Turkish army
