Give the Children a Drink

called Grain-0. It IS delicious, appetizing nourishing food drink to take the place oi coffee. Sold by all grocers and liked by all who have used 1t because when properly pre- pared it tastes like the finest coffee but is free from all its injurious properties. Grain O aids digestion and strengthens the nerves. It is not stimulant but a health builder, as well as adults, drink it with great
 benefit. Costs about x as much as coffee. 16 and ayc.

Where's The Rest Of It?

According to our esteemed con-
temp, the News, Mr.. Matteson has
delivered $500 pounds of flour with
that $3.50 be won on election. The
kind of flour he bought sells at retail
for $3.50 a hundred-it would not
cost that much at wholesale. Even
figuring it at that rate it makes SIN
We understand that the use of the
dray was donated. There is $lS3
unaccounted for. No doubt that full
page Of glorifcation in the News cost
considerable and the band to toot the
glad tidings that aims were being
distributed by D. Matteson, Esquire,
might come high but surely that
does not take it all.
OF course it is nobody's business
what became of the money-it was
Mr.. Matteson's to spend for glory if
he wished. Only, it has been herald
ed from the housetops with unceas-
ing din for two weeks that $3.50
worth of flour was distributed. Abb
lene is just enough Missouran to

Sounding the Trumpet.

Minneapolis Messenger: Dave Mat
teson, Populist politician Of Abilene,
who won $3.50 on the recent
election used it for advertising pur-
poses. lie bought flour with it and
gave it to the poor of Abilene. This
was certainly philanthropic and en-
tirely commendable, but with true
Populist instincts he loaded the flour
in a gorgeously decorated wagon,
hired brass band and climbed into
the seat, drove the wagon around
town delivering his aims, calling the
attention Of the public not only to his
aims but hamiliating the recipients
Of his bounty. Many centuries ago
the Great Teacher said "When thou
doest thine aims, do not sound a
trumpet before thee,as the hypocrites
do in the synagogues and in the
streets, that they may have glory Of
men,"
