One OF the most practical affairs
with which the people have to deal is
the building Of good roads, roads that
would tie the country and town to-

Of those who dwell miles apart, which
would afford the means Of easy COM

armful OF instructions. Half OF these

Very rich.looking coats are made OF
smooth-surfaced cloths, with fine
heavy broadcloth heading the list of
desirables. They are useful for wear
at almost any time, quiet and elegant
looking, and many of them finished
with velvet in the~collar and cuffs.
A good example of the plain cloth
coat is given in the picture shown
here. 1t follows the initial styles OF
the present season, in a conservative
way, with its high. fiaring collar, full
and slightly faring skirt, and large
coat sleeves. The belt is placed in a
novel way. slipping under a panel at
the back OF the coat and ending, like
many others, in rounded ends st each
side.
Buttons in two sizes, made by COW

PUZZLED
Hard, Sometimes, to Raise Children.

Chlldren's taste Is ofttimes more
accurate. in selecting the right kind OF
food TO NJ the body. than that OF adults.
Nature works more accurately through
the children.

had long been troubled with weak
digestion. We could never persuade
him TO take more than one taste OF
hly kind OF cereal food. lie was a
weak little chap and we were puzzled

"One lucky day we tried Grape-Nuts.
Well. you never saw n child eat with
such a relish, and II did me good TO
see him. From that day on II 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 a healthy family and
naturally believe In Grape-Nuts,
"A friend has two children who were
formerly afflicted with rickets. ! was
satisfied that the disease was caused
by lack OF proper nourishment. Tho
children showed H. SO ! urged her

and the result was almost magical.
They continued the food and to-

said Secretary Barker, land that any
person or company has right to de-
mand final hearing before judgment
is rendered. Therefore, I made the
motion that the company's request for

The governor had read a report of
his trip made in company with Barker
over the project before suggesting that
a receiver be appointed by the state,
and Barker had read petition sent to
the board by settlers living on the
lands. The petition had been quite
generally signed.
All members of the board agreed
that the acreage of the tract is too
large and should be cut down in the
interest of settlers who have bought
water rights of the company.
