NO RETRIAL IN GRAFT CASES Four 3Ien to Come Hp Soon for Sen tence at Harriiburg. OTHERS BEXiT? TO BE TILLED Hunting within the city limits Is tabooed by the police. Strange aa It may seem, many a jack rabbit and cottontail Is sent to the happy hunting grounds by a rifle bullet or a few leaden pellets from the barrel of a shotgun flret right In the city, and as a result of numerous complaints from residents in the neighborhoods of Rlverrlew park, the Deaf and Dumb insti tute and Sulphur Springs addition. Day Captain Mostyn of the police department has decided to detail four or five officers to wear plain clothes for a week and keep a sharp lookout for hunters who are so impatient to bag something that they do not wait until crossing the city llm.ts be fore discharging their weapons. "It ia not only against the ordinances of the city to hunt within the city limits," said Captain Mostyn Friday afternoon, "but It aiso endangers the lives and prop erty of cltixens." Since the first good fall of snow a num ber of residents of outlying parts of the city have enjoyed regular rabbit bunts In their own and thetr neighbors' backyards before breakfast, and they have rcaily killed a few bunnies, too. But In the happy exuberance of the chase a few stray bullets, have found their way through panes of glass in several residences and one man who lives near the edge of the bluff over looking the railroad tracks In the northeast portion of Omaha has had a couple of shot from a shotgun play pltty-pat on his derby. So in spite of the excellent hunting to be had In this section of the w.ld anj woolly west residents will no longer enjoy It. fur the stern officer in "cltat" clorhes will be on hand" to arrest him if he breaks the law any more.

Indigestion and the attendant discom forts of mind and body are certain to follow continued use of Improper food. Those who are still young and robust are likely to overlook the fact that, as dropping water will wear a stone away at last, so will the use of heavy, greasy, rich food, finally cause loss of appetite and Indigestion. Fortunately many are thoughtful' enough to study themselves and note the prin ciple of Causa and Effect In their dally food. A N. T. young woman writes her experience thus: "Sometime ago I had a lot of trouble from Indigestion, caused by too rich food. I got so I was unable to digest scarcely anything, and medicine seemed useless. "A friend advised me to try Grape Nuts food, praising It highly, and as a laat resort, I tried it- I am thankful to say that Grape-Nuts not only relieved me of my trouble, but built me up and stengthened my digestive organs so that I can now eat anything I desire.
