WRONG BREAKFAST
Change Gave Rugged Health.
Many persons think that for
Strength, they must begin the day with
a breakfast of meat and other heavy
foods. This is a mistake as anyone
can easily discover for himself.
A. W. Va. carpenter's experience
may benefit others. He writes:
"I used to be a very heavy breakfast
eater but finally indigestion caused me
Buch distress, I became afraid to eat
anything.
"My wife suggested a trial of Grape-
Nuts and as I had to eat something
or starve, I concluded to take her ad
vice. She fixed me up a dish and I
remarked at the time that the quality
was all right, but the quantity was too
•mall—l wanted a saucerful.
"But she said a small amount of
Grape-Nuts went a long way and that
I must eat It according to directions.
So I started in with Grape-Nuts and
cream, 2 soft boiled eggs and some
crisp toast for breakfast.
"I cut out meats and a lot of other
stuff I had been used to eating all my
life and was gratified to see that I
■was getting better right along. I con
cluded I had struck the right thing
and stuck to it. I had not only been
eating Improper food, but too much.
"I was working at the carpenter's
trade at that time and thought that
unless I had a hearty breakfast with
plenty of meat, I would play out be
fore dinner. But after a few days of
my "new breakfast" I found I could
do more work, felt better in every
■way, and now I am not bothered with
Indigestion."

B. F. R. E. Man Must Face Court
V \
Trial; Arrested Last Night
by Police
James A. McPherson, a member of
the Brotherhood of Federated Railway
Employes, was this afternoon held for
court by Mayor John K. Royal on a
charge of inciting to riot. McPher
son's ball was fixed at S2OO which was
furnished by members of the Fede
rated body.
McPherson was arrested last night,
after a meeting of the Federated body
at White's Hall. Patrolman Hoffman
who made the arrest testified that he
caught McPherson in the act of
throwing a brick Into the crowd of
patrolmen.
Patrolmen Hoffman, Schelhas and
Spangler also testified that a number
of federated members carried clubs
and used bad language. One club was
thrown Into the crowd and struck
Passenger Engineer Samuel Hertzler
on the head, smashing his hat and
breaking his eyeglasses. In announc
ing his decision Mayor Royal said:
"I regret very much the necessity
for doing it, but I must hold you for
court li the sum of S2OO ball. X was
elected by the people whom I must
serve and obey. lam of the opinion
that had the brick been thrown there
would have been worse trouble."
McPherson was released last night
by lieutenant of Police Warden on
posting a forfeit of $5.
Colonel Joseph B. Hutchison, Chief
of Police, was not pleased with the
action of Lieutenant of Police J. Ed
ward Warden, in releasing McPherson
on ass forfeit. The Colonel said:
"If there was evidence of an attempt
to incite a riot, the ball should have
been ont less than S2OO. I am not
thoroughly acquainted with the facts
in McPherson's case, but I understand
he was caugbt with a brick in his
hand, and, according to Patrolman
Hoffman, was about to throw it into
the crowd.
"I find no objections to the members
of the federated body parading, but
they have no right to molest people in
the streets nor ought they go to the
show windows and call in to the men.
A railroad officer is in authority, and
has the right to arrest trespassers after
warning has been given."

a small package of delatone, for with
it hair or fuzz can be quickly banished
from the skin. To remove hairs you
merely mix into a paste enough of the

be found free from hair or blemish.

How to Beautify a
Summer Soiled Face
V—— J
It's really a simple matter to re
novate a face soiled by sun, winds or
dirt. Ordinary mercolir.ed wax, used
like cold cream, will transform the
worst old complexion into one of
snowy whiteness and velvety softness.
It literally peels ofT the outer veil of
surface skin, but so gently, gradually,
there's no discomfort. The wornout
skin comes ofT, not in patches, but
evenly, In tiny particles, leaving no
evidence of the treatment. The
younger, healthier under-skin forming
the new complexion. Is one of capti
vattng loveliness. One ounce of mer
colized wax, to be had at any drug
store. Is enough to remove any tanned
reddened, pimpled freckled or blotchv
skin. Apply before retiring, washing
It oft mornings.
Many skins wrinkle easily with every
wind that blows, with heat, worry, etc.
An excellent wrinkle-remover, be
cause It tightens the Bkln and strength
ens relaxed muscles, Is a wash lotion
made as follows: Powdered saxollte, 1
07.., dissolved In witch hazel, V& pt.
This gives immediate results.
