ROBBERS' PLANS FAILED.
Two Attempts Made to Enter Store

There was a robbery planned at

store houses of Mr. W. B. Estridge and
Mr. D. A. Henderson were visited by
the midnight thieves but neither was
entered.
"At Mr. Estridge's store, the parties
bored holes in the ront door and tried
to knock out a panel. Failing in this,
they tried to prize the door open.
Leaving the Estridge store, the
thieves went to Mr. D. A. Henderson's
place. There -they tried to prize open
the door but again failed." On the
front porch to each of the stores were
found several tools that the robbers

says that the thieves must have visit
ed Mint Hill about the midnight hour.

Finds Grape-Nuts Food Invaluable in
His Practice."" . -
; A physician first healed himself with
food. Then he healed others, and
tells his story in a straight forward,
business-like way:
"For a long time," he writes, 1
was unable to assimilate comfortably
any ordinary preparared breakfast
foods. Nearly, everything disagreed
with me, bringing on heavy headaches
a bad taste in the mouth, and a dull
ness of mind that was not only un
pleasant but interfered with active
mental work. Since beginning the use
of : Grape-Nuts Food some months ago,
however, these troubles have vanished
and breakfast is relished and enjoyed
as it ought to be.
: "I find, too, that a small quantity
of Grape-Nuts and cream eaten just
before starting out to visit patients at
night prevents the feeling of depres
sion that used to result from this ex
tra exertion and loss of sleep.
"My wife suffered for several
months from recurring attacks of in
digestion with fermentation she
would be very miserable for days at a
time and almost any kind of food ad:
ded to the trouble. She found by ex
periment that by using Grape-Nuts re
lief would be obtained in a very short
time, even when ordinary remedies
for indigestion had failed to help her.
- "Mrs. James S , a patient of
mine, suffered with sympathetic heart
trouble and a stomach so deranged
that it rejected all food. Her strength
was rapidly failing from lack of nour
ishment. I recommended the use of
Grape-Nuts with cream every three or
four hours. The food proved at once
acceptable to her stomach and her re
covery to perfect health speedily fol
lowed. "I have found Grape-Nuts an excel
lent food for patients convalescing
from exhausting fevers, . as typhoid
and pneumonia, and always recom
mend its .use by such. It is admirably
suited to these cases, not only because
it is easily digested, but because of
the great amount of nourishment it
contains. Its use rapidly restores vi
tality and strength." Name given by
Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich.
There's a reason.
