CITY COUNCIL MEETS;

The city council met last night,
with Mayor Lamkin and Councilman
Shinn absent, and Councilman Frost
acting as chairman of the meeting.
Among other business transacted
was the authorization of the pur­
chase of >15.000 of the city’s own
bonds, and >15,000 of the Tillamook
school bonds. A report on the purity
of samples of the city water recently
sent for examination to the state
chemist, showed the water to be in
better condition than it ha9 been for
quite a while.

Save the bird in hand—

W ith enough money, enough time
and enough luck, a man may get back
the health he has lost—or part of it.
It takes patience, too.
And then there may be no success,
or only a little.
It’s better to save what you have
than hunt for what you’ve lost—as
the most successful health-restorers
will tell you.
Much of the loss of health is due to
faulty, careless diet. Wrong meals at
all times and right meals at wrong
times load the long-suffering digestive
organs with elements of destruction,
or starve the tissues and glands of
needed elements.
Grape-Nuts is a delicious cereal food
which has the qualities of scientific
nutrition. It supplies the full richness
of those splendid food grains, wheat and

mineral elements, so often lacking from
foods. Served with cream or good milk,
Grape-Nuts gives full nourishment
without over-loading the stomach.
