LOS ANGELES, Dec. 16.--Two
explosions early this morning wreck
ed the Llewellyn Iron works, but
fears for the loss OF life were dispell-
ed when a complete check revealed
that all persons about the buildings
and plant were accounted for. The
loss is estimated at $5OO,WO. The
police suspect incendiarism. The
Llewellyn plant was partly wrecked
in the bomb explosions Of 1910 when
the Times building was dynamited.
Two explosions were heard this
morning, said the workmen, and
flames immediately envelopcd the
plant before the fire apparatus arriv-
ed. The plant was then regarded as
doomed. so attention was turned to
the saving of adjoining property from
destruction. No arrests have yet
been made.

 A Brooklyn lady says: Our little boy had long been troubled with weak digestion. We could never per- suade him to take more than one taste of any kind of cereal food. He was weak little chap and we were puzzled to know what to feed him on.
 "One lucky day we tried Grape Nuts. Well, you never saw a child eat with such a relish, and it 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 I think he would have liked the food for dinner.
 ''The difference in his appearance is something wonderful.
 My husband had never fancied cereal food of any kind, but he be- came very fond of Grape-Nuts and has been much improved in health since using it.

 "A friend has two children who were formerly afflicted with rickets. I 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 experi- ment and the result was almost magi- cal.
 They continued the food and today both children are as we'll and strong as any children in this city, and, of course, my friend is a firm believer in Grape-Nuts for she has the evidence before her eyes every day. Name given by Postum Co.,, Battle Creek, Mich.
