GR4PE-N UTS.
A New and Highly Nutritious Food

New and Highly Nutritious Food.
 The odd sounding name is used to designate peculiar food, made not ex- actly in the shape of nuts, but having pleasant, nutty flavor and crisp brit tleness that makes them a charming favorite with the palate.
 Of yet more value than the taste is the food value of Grape Nuts. They are largely composed of Grape Sugar, (your dictionary can tell you about that) and those who use them will find the morning meal has not only been pleasant, but has been quickly and cas- fly digested; for grape-sugar is an ar ticle produced in the human body at one stage of the digestion of food, and is at once ready for transformation into good healthy blood and nourish- ment.
 Do not understand that the grape sugar, of which Grape-Nuts is made, has been produced in the human body. But this grape-sugar is made by much the same process as the body employs. This grape-sugar is produced by natu- ral treatment of grains without any foreign substance whatever The re- suit is perhaps the most highly nutri- tious food ever produced.
 Grocers keep Grape-Nuts in 15 cent packages. ea5

Polls Wonderland Theatre.

The admirable acting of Edmund Hayes and Miss Emily Lytton in their travesty at the Wonderland Theater is the talk of all the patrons, who are giving full houses to Manager Poli s enterprise this week. The work pre- scented by these artists includes tra- vesty on "Ingomar," which satisfies the lovers of comedy for MT. Hayes and Miss Lytton twist the lines of the great tragedy into most surprising, up- to-date amendments, at the same time giving a .grandly costumed, picturesque act. The real great work, however is the dream scene from Sir Henry IT, wins play, "The Bells' In this all camedy is eschewed and the act is as fine piece of legitimate tragedy as was ever seen in the city MT. Hayes depletion of the conscience-stri murderer confessing his crime while under hypnotic influence is most weird piece of realism.
 The olio includes the Karno Trio, Smith and Campbell, Barnes and Sis son, Leroy and Clayton the Marinellas, Miss Evelyn Britton, the Franciala Sis ters and Harris and Harlow
 On Fast day there will be continuous performances from 12 o'clock in the af- ternoon.

(PRIzE LETTER.

No two sections of the country are exactly alike, and it is Q bless ing it is so. To make the farm pay now requires deal of thought and experience. For your main crops always raise what has proved by experience to be adapt ed to your soil and climate. Now try, if possible, to fud something suitable to make specially nf that is not generally raised or at- tended to.
 It may take years to get your name up, but the years will pass just the same anyway, and you had just as we'll make use of them, for you may be sure special crops pay double margin. The writer makes a speciality of sweet pota- toes and melons, while he raises corn, oats, sorghum, cot ton and everything else the same us his neighboIs. It has taken fifteen years to maKe a success, but now ten acres in potatoes and melons clear him more money 
 than the 200 he works in general crops. Specialties always bring extra prices.
 Que of my neighbors Ca long headed man) bought farm in the black land belt; he had a mania for raising lots of feed stuff of every kind; he told me his neighbor had quit planting hogs, as the mud was so bad in wet weather that they would all die, and they preferred to buy large shoats and fatten them, So he fenced a ten acre lot, hog proof put in it a few head of fine blood ed hogs, built furnace and com menced cooking everything eat able that came off the farm and feeding judiciously. As result he soon established trade for blooded hogs that grew with the |years, until to-day he is worth thousands, and has every conven. Hence about his home.
 1 There IS no man but can make a speciality out of something with out in any way interfering with his general business. It will take time and work and good sound sense, but it is the best road to success, as we have too much com petition in general farming to ever hope to get rich at it.
