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 accurate
ly 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 a
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 relish, and 1t did me
good to soc him. From that day
on 1t seemed as though we could al
most 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-
Cdue very lUHu VI HTdpe-Nute duu
has been much improved in health
since using it.
eve are now a 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 nourish-
ment. The children showed It. So.
! 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 we'll and
strong as any children In the city,
and, Of course, my friend is firm
believer. In ,Grape-Nuts for she has
the evidence before her eyes every
day." Name given by Postum Co.,

they locate in the trenches themselves.
very often when trenches or positions
change hands the flying column has
to stay on until the last to take away
the wounded in spite Of the danger Of
falling into the enemy's hands. Two
columns have been entirely DESTROYED
by the fire Of the enemy, and several
have been captured, to say nothing OF
individual losses among other columns.
Not only have they to bring first aid
to the trenches, but frequently they
must transport the wounded in their
sanitary carriages through the zone Of
artillery Are.
During battle the columns also or
ganize field feeding points and bring
toi the trenches not only first aid, but
food for the wounded who often must
lie for hours before they can be moved.

FINDS WAY FOR
MAKING UP LOSS
SUPT. OF PUBLIC SAFETY At DIES
MONIES TO LOOK AFTER
CORNER CUTTERS

Des Mo!nes, Aug. 9.-Ben Woolgar,
superintendent of public safety, finally
has realized a way to make up for the
shortage of funds since the saloon
licenses have been revoked.
Three weeks ago Woolgar had lamp
posts placed in the middle of the
streets at dangerous turning intersec-
tions. At the same time the city pass
ed an ordinance making it a misde-
meanor to cut on the left side Of the
red turning poles.
Starting Monday, July "a, Woolgar
delegated vigilance automobile to
detect traffic violators. More than so
were found cutting corners where the
turning poles were placed.
Last week when the violators were
brought into court, Judge G. e. Carl
son ruled they were not guilty since
the ordinance had never been pub
lished.
Then the ordinance was printed and
twenty-four hours later was In effect,
Woolgar expects his vigilance COM
m1ttee to redouble efforts to locate the
corner cutters.

had been idle for some time with the
result that the Mt. Pleasant stone
uuarries are running now In full blast.
A railroad switch has been built at
the cost of some $4,000, new 1nachin'
cry has been installed and the plant
will work winter and summer, year IN
and year out. There is no possible
doubt of the permanence of the under
taking. The managers, Messrs. Kline
and McCarron, have faith In the pro-
tect and are stalking their reputation
and money on the success of the plant.
1t promises to be great thing for Mt
Pleasant.
