The STUDY OF FOOD.

When a man knows that he depends
on food alone from which to make his
brains and that his success in life is
largely owing to the kind of brains he
has, it would seem the part of wisdom
to study food bit.
All men do not have the opportuni-
ty to make a careful analytical study
of the subject and are satisfied to have
the food experts attend to this for
them.
a food especially made to supply
the nourishing elements needed to re-
build the brain and nervous centers
bears the name Grape-Nuts. and its
use for 10 days or two weeks pro-
duces a sturdy, substantial and pow
erful condition of the thinking ma
chinery, enabling one TO do things,
TO make money, or succeed in what
ever enterprise is reasonably under
taken.
Systematic, logical, concentrated
thinking is the one requisite to sue
cess and that needs good. healthy
brains, well nourished, and the waste
supplied each day. Grape-Nuts make
their energy known to the user. and
being in the form of n delicious food
they have become a welcome addition
to the tables of brainy people in all
parts of the country.

Dewey Day Celebration.

The celebration being arranged by
Clark G. Doughty to take place at
schuetzen park, Davenport, Sunday,
Sept. 24. will be q grand affair, and
will be called Dewey day celebration
instead of a Drey fus-Dewey day, as
was at first intended.
Mr.. Doughty has arranged to have
some great attractions for that day,
and is losing no time to get the bet
that can be had. He has given cele-
brations before and knows how to ar
range them. Mr.. Doughty was con-
nected with the Moline street fair.
There will be two balloon ascensions
and possibly three. There will be q
leap from the clouds at 1000 feet
above the earth at 8 O'Clock. At 8
o'clock there will be another ascen-
sion with fireworks display, some
thing mover before seen in this sec
ton. There will probably be public
marriage 2. 200 feet in the air provid-
ed a willing couple can be found. A
justice of the peace has already been
secured and all that is now needed is
couple.

docket until Rock Island county is set
aside as a separate district, and pro-
vision is made for holding court every
day in the year.
During the last three terms the
court was in session PIP days. Judge
Bigelow being on the appellate bench,

story of a Slave.

To be bound hand and foot for years
by the chains of disease is the worst
form of slavery. George ID. Williams,
of Manchester, Mich, tells how such
a slave was made free. He says:
My wife has been so helpless for five
wears that she could not turn over in
bed alone After using two bottles of
Electric Bitters she is wonderfully
improved and able to do her own
work" This supreme remedy for
female diseases quickly cures nerv-
BUSINESS, sleeplessness. melancholy,
headache. backache. fainting and dizzy
spells. This miracle working medi-
cine is godsend to weak, sickly, run
down people. Every bottle guaran-
teed. Only 80 cents. Sold by Hartz
& Ullemeyer, druggists.

NOT GREAT INCREASE.
Total Assessed Valuation of
County Only $i4I,o9l
Above 1898.
BOARD MAKES SOME CHANGES.

Figures OF 1899 are Lowered S1lsool.
the Increase in Personal Property Be
Ing just That Much Above the Reduc-
tIou in RealIty-The Comparisons by
Townships.
The board of review of assessments
having completed its work, it is pos
sible now to give the assessment of
the county by towns For compari-
son we give the figures returned by
the assessors in 1898 and in 1899, and
also the figures returned by the board
of review. The fact is shown that
the total assessment of the county Is
changed from the total as returned
by the assessors last spring only to q
com paratively small extent. The
board of review figures are $3.50 lower
on lands than were the assessors
figures. $22. lower on lots and
81, 961 lower on personal-an aggre-
gate scaling down of $11,561.
As compared with the assessment
of 1898, the assessed value of the
county as now returned by its first
board of review under the new law,
shows an increase of $141, O91. This
demonstrates how the new proportion
of assessed valuation works under the
new law. The old basis of assess
ments was one-fourth. The new is
one-iifth, but the new law has proven
efficient to bring about a somewhat
larger assessment under the reduced
basis.
Here are the figures by townships:

SOUNDING THE CHANNEL
Engineers Examining River Between st.

Says the Quincy Journal: Maj
Meigs, chief engineer in charge of
the river from Keokuk to St. Louis,
came down this morning from Keo-
kuk to meet Capt. Edwards, of this
division of the river service, and to
board the Gen. Barnard on her way
up from st. Louis. Maj. Meigs says
that the Barnard crew of engineers
are taking sOundings of the channel
between St. Louis and St. Paul. He
does not think that the engineers will
do anything about removing the sand
bar west OF this harbor. He thinks
that Quincy harbor now has better
stage of water for low water season
than she has had for years He says
that we have a 3-foot stage here, when
at keokuk they have 4 2-foot stage.
