William j. Burns, who has been APP
pointed director of the bureau of in
yestigation of the United States de-
partnent of justice, has been in detec-
tive work the greater part of his life
and has the reputation of being one of
the ablest men in his line in America.
For - years he was in the government
secret service. 1t was Burns who
gathered tie evidence in the San Fran
cisco graft cases, which resulted in the
conviction and Imprisonment of the
mayor and several other officials and
political bosses of that city. More fame
came to him through his work in clear
ing up the mystery of the Los Angeles
Times dyHamiting ease. Another OF his
big eases was in 1899, when he ran down
the Philadelphia Lancaster counterfeit
ers. Mr.. Burns is 60 years old and a ma
tive of Baltimore. He was educated in
Columbus, o., and did his FIRST detec-
tive work in 1885 in helping to unearth
tally sheet forgeries in Columbus and
Cincinnati.

st. Adams seems to have been unfortu-
nate in it's first choice of a city manager,
for the man who has held that position
under the city's new form of government
rendered his resignation this week. Ac-
cording to the st. Adams Messenger. the
reason for the managers act was to re
move friction on the city council and to
compose differences which in some de-
gree had centered around him" Those
who nave been watching with hopeful in
terest the efforts of st. Adams to put its
municipal affairs on a sound business
basis will regret sincerely that better re-
suits could not nave been obtained from
the city's first trial of the manager plan,
1t is too early, however, to condemn the
system, and the fact that the city coun-
ell has been so prompt to dispense with
the services of an executive who appar-
emily was not getting desired results is
the best sort of evidence that the men
back of the project are determined to let
nothing stand in the way of a thorough
trial of the scheme to which they have
devoted so mach time and energy.

Weak, Thin Folks
Need Phosphate
Says DR.. KOlle

DR.. Frederic S. Kolle, the New York
author of medical text books. whose opln-
ions are greatly valued, writes:
when the nerve tissue begins to lose
it's vitality, woman begins to lose her
youth and yivaciousness. She becomes
irritable, moody and Respondent. 1t
would be a godsend if more weak. thin,
nervous men and women were aware of
the efficacy of Bitro-Phosphate."
Thousands of thin, rundown people
whose nervous energy is nearly exhausted
are turning tG Bitro-Phosphate as dis
ptnsed by the BrattleboTo Drug Company
and other leading druggists, because it
helps to re-vitalize the nerves, increase
bodily weight and bring back energy and
mental k~eenness.
CAUTION: Although Bitro-Phosphate Is an
excellent aid in relieving weak, nervous condi-
tious, its use is not advised unless increased
weight is desired.-Adv.

For twenty hours this food is
baked-Cne reason you like
it-anotner reason why it
digests SO easily.

One Of the important things IN connection
with any cereal food is to nave it thor
oughly baked or cooked. For baking or
cooking changes the starch of the grains.
Grape-Nuts is the longest baked of all
cereal foods. 1t is scientifically baked at
carefully regulated temperatures for 20
hours. This is one of the reasons why
Grape-Nuts digests so easily; why it agrees
with many people who cannot take any
other form of cereal without producing
fermentation.
A goodly part of Grape-Nuts is converted
into d~egtrCse, ready to be Immediately assim-
Hated by the system, and yield strength and
energy. A further portion has partially
undergone this change, while there remains
sufficient unchanged cereal to strengthen the
digestive organs 1t is then in a condition
to meet the various requirements of the
digestive system.
IF you want to eat a nlost Strengthening
and nourishing food, and one that will digest
more readily, 60 to yoI grocer today and

In conversation with Mr.. DUDE The
Meddler learned some interesting facts
about the use of road oil and the atti-
tude of the public toward it. The APP
proximate cost of the two applications
that have been made locally is S4,700,
of which the major portion is borne by
the town although the village stands
part Of the expense and private individ-
uals are to make some payments for
special work done. Mr.. DUDE is con-
WINGED that the amount which the town
has spent for oil this year viii be saved
in highway maintenance, and ii is safe
to say he wouldn't be offended if the Sc
lectmen should give him authority to
order a further application this season.
There are certain sections of highway
that need it badly. especially the new
section on Green street where the sur
face already is showing the effects of a
lack of binder. The public certainly has
changed its attitude toward road oil. ;"
Mr.. DUDE said. People who two seasons
ago would have threatened the town with
injunction proceedings on suggestion that
oil be applied in front of their homes are
now asking for it."

fact, a considerable portion of the tim
bers to which the planks are to be nailed
are already in place and Mr.. DUDE ex-
poets to finish his part of the work
within IS hours from the time the bridge
force complete theirs. With the east
ern approach completed before the be-
ginning of next week it would seem rs if
travel over the bridge ought to be pos
sible two or three weeks earlier than had
