was to come.

PUZZLED
Hard, Sometimes, to Raise Children.

Children's taste is ofttimes more
accurate, in selecting the right kind OF
food to fit the body, than that of adults.
Nature works more accurately through
the children.
A Brooklyn lady says: "Our little boy
had long been troubled with weak
digestion. We could never persuade
him to take more than one taste OF
any kind of cereal food. He was q
weak little chap and we were puzzled
to know what to feed him on
Zone lucky day we tried Grape-Nuts.
Well, you never saw child eat with
such a relish, and 1t did me good to
see him. From that day on it seemed
as though we could almost see him
grow. He would eat Grape-Nuts for
breakfast and supper, and think he
would have liked the food for dinner.
THE difference in his appearance
is something wonderful.
my husband had never fancied
cereal foods of any kind, but he be-
came very fond of Grape-Nuts and has
been much improved in health since
using it.
I'VE are now healthy family and
naturally believe in Grape-Nuts.
A friend has two children who were
formerly afflicted with ricketts,. / was
satisfied that the disease was caused
by lack of proper nourishment. The
children showed it. So I urged her
to use Grape-Nuts as an experiment
and the result was almost magical.
They continued the food and to-
day both children are as well and
strong as any children in this city.
and, Of course, my friend is a firm be-
lever in Grape-Nnts, for she has the
evidence before her eyes every day."

DLYMP|ANS UNDECIDED
AS TO CAPITOL PLANS
Supreme Court Declares Proposed
Bond Issue Violates State
Constitution

What is to be the next step with
reference to legislation for the con-
struction of capitol buildings in this
city, following the decision given by
the state supreme court the latter
part Of last week that the act of the
1915 legislature is unconstitutional,
has not yet been decided by Olym-
plans, to whom the decision was a
great surprise.
The act that was declared invalid
provided for a 100000 bond issue
against the capitol land grant, appro-
priated $1,500,00O for immediate
use and guaranteed the payment Of
the interest out of the state general
fund. This, six judges of the court
ruled, would be in violation of those
provisions Of the constitution limiting
the states floating debt to 100000,
and the other provisions that all spe-
cial debts in excess of that amount,
except those incurred for military
purposes, must be authorized by a
vote of the people.

:: THE FORD AND THE OVERLAND ::

the shop, and as good fortune would
nave 1t put me under Mr.. La Cue.
who was then master mechanic of
the Seattle Ford branch.
A close friendship arose in our
work-each learned that the other
had capital and wanted a Ford
agency. In due time l was called
into the Office and informed of a Ford
agency opening in Olympia, also in
Helena, Montana. OF the two we
chose Olympia.
When we came to Olympia in 1913
there were about eight Fords in
Thurston county; today there are
more than 800. Fifty per cent of the
cars in this county are Fords. Up to
the date of the writing of this article
we have sold on our 1916 contract 80
Fords and 10 model SO Overlands.
and the three best months of the
selling season are ahead of us.
We are selling Ford cars because
there is more money to be made with
Ford agency than with all the other
agencies in the city put together.
Last season we sold IS Fords-
more cars than all the other agencies
in the county combined, and at no
more overhead expense than each of
the other agencies would have. 1t
meant the sale of IS spare tubes, it
meant the sale of IS spare castings, it
meant IS more Ford owners in the
county to boost the sale of Ford cars,
for every Ford owner is Ford
booster.
We have had the opportunity of
carrying, in connection with the Ford
car, every other make of car that is
sold in the city today with the ex-
ception of the Cadillac. but have re-
fused them all for the Overland be-
cause we believe the Overland bet
ter value for the money and at a
more popular selling price.
The fact that although we have
neglected the Overland, devoting our
time to the Ford, the Overland on
March II, 1915, at which time went
through the records at the court
house for cars licensed to operate in
Thurston county, was in third place:
Fords first, with 261; Studebakers,
second. with 81, and Overlands third,
with 20.
The Overland factory produces
more cars, with the exception Of
Ford, than any other automobile fac
tory in the world. 1t has had years
of experience in building and mar
keting cars-the Overland Of today
is the outcome of years of experience
and experiments. The careful watch
ing Of thousands of Overlands put to
the test by the public has made the
Overland of today the most refined
and finished product that brains and
money can build at its price.
The Seattle branch of the Overland |
factory carries $4,000 worth of
parts in stock-we must carry, &C.
cording to our contract. $40 worth Of
parts for every Overland in Thurston
county.
The fact that the Overland chassis
can be purchased one part at time
and assembled as cheaply as the fin-
Ished chassis can be assembled. guar
antees that no car at the Overland
price could sell its parts for less.
Then there 10 to be taken into con-
sideration service after the car Is
