HOW GRAPE-NUTs FOOD is CON-
STRUCTED.

Grape-Nuts food is made by taking
the portions of barley and wheat con-
taining the nutritive elements, sub
jecting the different parts to different
forms of treatment and finally blend
ing them in the proper proportions.
When ready for h market it is in
the form of small g%ranules from the
size of a pin head to two or three times
that size. These pieces glisten when
held to the light. showing the grape
sugar c~rystallzed and deposited on each
granule. This grape sugar is one of the
most nutritive articles Of o known
and is produced and evolved from the
starchy part of the grains while in
process of manufacture.
No cane or beet sugar is used in maxi
ing Grape-Nuts.
The flavor is a very delicate sweet.
and the food itself is crisp and deli
|cious.
Being fully cooked at the factory. nc
preparation is required, but 1t is ready
to be served instantly with a little
cream or milk, either hot or cold.
A marked increase in mental strength
is found after ten days use of Grape

The food contains elements which

THREE HAPPY MEN
Patients Of Famous Specialist Re.
turn With Eyesight Restored
One Hundred Others Cured.
Dr.. Wilson Will Postpone His Much
Needed Vacation Until Next
December.

There are few, If any, specialists,
that have met with such success in
their practice as has DR.. Wilson, the
veteran eye and ear specialist, of this
city. On several occasions he has made
an effort to retire from business, but
his old patients were SO persistent in
their demands to have him treat them
lagain. that he acceded to their requests
and began his labors in their behalf
again. This morning G.. NJ. Sage, of
Mason City, who came here blind in
one eye, and nearly so in the other, left
for home, and to say that he was happy
does not express 1t. He was cured,
could see almost as we'll as ever, and
none but those who have been nearly
blind a appreciate what 1t is to have
their sight restored. Philip Rundberg,
of Ogden, Ia, vas another man whose
sight has been restored by DIR. Wilson.
He went home this week permanently
cured, as did also George Stearns, of
Steamboat Rock. In addition to the
three patients above mentioned there
Ihave been at least one Others
who have been successfully treated In
the past three months by DR.. Wilson
They come not only from parts of Iowa
but all other state as we'll, and 1T was
necessary for several of them to under
go very difficult operations, a few hay
ing one of their eyes removed, but i
was successfully done in every instance
The Times Republican can ear testi
mopy that DIR. Wilson has done many
charitable acts during his residence il
this city and has treated hundreds O
poor people free of charge. DR.. Wilson
has not taken a vacation for a year anc
a half. and will be compelled to defer
it this year until December, by reason
of having so man patients at this time
but next December will go to California
for a two months rest. Upon his re
turn he will doubtless resume his prac-
tlce, as it seems impossible for him t.
retire from business, much as he would
like to do so.

TIE INSTITUTE BEGINS
MARSHALL County's Annual School
For Teachers Opens Undar Fav-
orabls Circumstances.
An Even One Hundred Seventy
five Students In Attendance at
First Roll Call.
Interesting Topics to Be Discussed
During the Institute--Ihe
Instructors.

Marshall county's annual summer
school for teachers, under the direction
of County superintendent Judd Nor
rissey, which has developed in the past
few years to be one of the leading
teachers institutes in the state of
Iowa, opened on the two weeks term
this morning under the most flattering
circumstances. Although the attend
ance is not quite as large as on the
opening Jay last year, it is big and
at the first roll call It's persons re-
sponded to their names. The attend
ance will probably exceed that of last
year, as many of the country teachers
could not be present on the first day.
Superintendent Morrissey's method of
enrolment made 1t an extremely easy
matter to get started, and but a very
few moments were consumed in pre-
llminaries before lessons were under
way. Slips were placed at each desk,
numbered according to the numbers of
the desks in the study hall II all that
was required was the entrance fee,
which was placed in the envelope at
tached, and the signing of the name.
This makes a complete register from
which the roll is complied.
There are two changes in the per-
sonnet of the teachers over last year,
Mr.. o. w. Reed, Of State Center, prin-
|cipal of the Hubbard schools, being in
charge of the departments of grammar
and arithmetic instead of Miss Lillian
| Shorthill. Mr.. Wade Rodwell is also
not present this year. Superintendent
of City Schools F. E. Willard has the
geography and physiology departments
in charge; ex-Principal Carstens. of the
high school, the American history ane
literature; Miss Julia Scurry, of Ell
dora, the primary methods, one of the
essential branches in institute work
and Mr.. "A. II. Parsons, of Creston, the
department Of penmanship and draw
Ing.
The syllabus of topics that will be dis
cussed in the different departments dur
ing the term embraces almost ever.
conceivable subject of interest to insti
tute students.
Miss Luella M~endenhall is acting a
general clerk to superintendent Nor
rissey during the institute, and Mis-
Kate Rogers is doing the usual larg
amount of ste~nography work, MIR. Nor
rissey's time being devoted largely t
the hearing of the different classes.

A Good Hot Weather story.

A good hot weather story comes from
East Main street and is causing some
good-natured fun on the part of neigh
bors and friends Of an excellent little
woman whose heart is a great deal
larger. in proportion, than her body.
The lady found 1T necessary to get rid
of a litter of kittens that were brought
into the world by the family cat.
Drowning was deemed the best and
Easiest method available and arrange
ments We're made to give the kittens a
watery grave. Although it was an ex-
%ceedingly warm day the water was
thought to be a little too chilly for the
Operation andqconsequently the tender
hearted spirit of the woman prevailed
and the aqua pura vas heated till re-
duced of it's chilliness before the oper-
alton was begun. So far there has not
been a message from the s~piritualistic
domain Of f%elines, consequently it is not
known whether or not the kindness was
appreciated. 1t is said the kittens
mewed in unison "A Hot Time" and as
yet they haven't come back.
