Hew the Paster Saved a Life
A man near Fort Gay W Ya made
an entire failure in getting strength
from the kind of food he ate and not
knowing that the trouble was with
the food kept on losing health until
the doctors gave him up to die
It was supposed to be consumption
because he was wasting away stead
ily and slowly dying His minister
called from lime to time and one day
brought along a package of Grape
Jsuts thinking from what he knew
of the famous food that perhaps it
might help him The sick man took
to it at once and from that day began
to get well In Avriting he says
I walked to town to day 3- miles
Have gained over 40 pounds in about
2 months and my neighbors dont
know what io say I frequently am
told it was as if I am raised from
the dead Everybody here knows of
my case you can tell people to write
to the Postmaster or Rev L D Bryan
I will make a sworn statement that
Grape Nuts saved my life Name
given by Postum Co Battle Creek

This is another illustration that
where all other food fails one can
be brought back to health and
strength on Grape Nuts Theres a
reason

NEBRASKAS GAMBLING LAWS
Defects That May Render Them Un
constitutional
LINCOLN Defects in Nebraskas
gambling laws may render them un
constitutional and then the state would
be a paradise for gamesters
An examination of the records at
the office of the secretary of state has
revealed the fact that an amendment
to the title of the act of 1S87 was not
copied in the journal of the proceed
ings probably rendering the amend
ments void There are no gamblers in
the penitentiary at present but should
one he sent there habeas corpus pro
ceedings would at once be started
The law amended is sections 214 and
215 of the code of criminal procedure
relating to gambling and the keeping
of gaming tables devices and ma
chines of any description Previous
to 1887 the penalty for gambling was
a fine of not exceeding 100 or im
prisonment in the county jail not more
tnan three months The penalty for
keeping a gaming table was a fine of
not less than 50 nor more than 100
The legislature of 1SS7 amended this
Law the act being known as senate
file 18 of that session This bill was
introduced under the title of A bill
jjr an act to amend sections 214 and
215 of the criminal code Under this
title it was read three times and pass
ed by the senate No amendment to
the title appearing in the records of
the proceedings of the senate it was
read in the house under the title A
bill for an act to amend sections 214
and 215 or fp criminal code and to
provide for tTie recovery of money or
other propertv lost ii gambling
The journals of the house and sen
ate fail 1o disclose when this amend
ment to the title was made The bill
was then read in the house for the
third time and passed under the or
iginal title It was then presented to
the governor under the title A bill
for an net to amend sections 214 and
215 of the criminal code and to pro
vide lor the recovery of money or
other property lost in gambling anf
to repeal said original sections The
journals of both house and senate fail
ed to show where this last clause or
iginated Tne law as signed by the
governor and as at present on file In
the secretarys office bears this latter
title

mankind according to tho London i

he is himself to be sat on Wo trust
that those in charge of the campaign
will remember the advice of one of
our forcmot naturalists and shoot
the hippopotamus with bullets made of
platinum For if they use the other
kind his hide will surely flatte i em j
Red Heads Seldom Esld
Red headed people are less subject I
to baldneso than others A doctor
explains the mailer thus The hair
of the red leaded is relatively thick i
one red hair being almost as thick as
five fair or three brown hairs With
oOfiOO red hairs the scalp is well
thatched whereas with the same
number of fair hairs one is compar
atively bald It takes nearly 1G000O
fair and 105000 brown hairs to cover
adequately an ordinary head
