GREAT REDUCTION OF STATE DEBT.

Jefferson City, Sept. IA meeting
OF the State Fund commissioners will
be held the third week in September
for the purpose of calling in for re-
demptiOn 100000 of the bonded
Indebtedness of the state.
In speaking of the reduction OF the
state debt to-day Governor Stephens
said
The State Constitution requires
that $3.50, 900 of the outstanding
bonds of the state be called in an
nually. One million dollars would
accordingly be the amount which the
law requires the state debt to be re-
duced during this administration.
The republican newspapers of the
state have all along been belittling
the efforts of the democratic admin
lstration in reducing 50 rapidly the
states Indebtedness, charging that
the constitution required that the
reduction be made.
The state debt has dwindIed rap
idly since the democrats have as
sumed charge of Missouri. and each
administration has managed most
successfully its finances. During this
administration the state debt has
been reduced S2.65S.OOO. The
100000 more, which the fund com
will call in three weeks
from now, will make the aggregate
reduction in four years $3,O5S. 900
more than the constitution requires. =

FEEDS BRAIN WORKERS
A Food Made Especially for Them.

~ nOOu hASuO GoPSCAhhy AoE
A literary woman, Mrs. j. c. Rob.
erts. 1913 Holmes street, Dallas. Tex.
has discovered that IA properly selected
brain fooa is OF great benefit to any
ties as journalist require me to write
all day, particularly in the winter,
but heretofore. after luncheon. no
matter how light made it. | found
myself incapacitated for work for an
hour or two, for my brain would not
respond to the demand.
II saw an advertisement of Grape
Nuts for brain workers and deter
mined to give it trial. / am
charmed with the result. and am now
in perfect health. 1 use Grape-Nuts
for luncheon, and never suffer any in
convenience whatever, returning To
my work at once, feeling as bright as
when left it. I know from exper-
fence that this preparation is .invalu-
able for brain workers, who are apt to
find that the period of time given up
to digestion is one of almost total
eclipse of mental power. ~
In this day aud age of concentrated
effort. it is wise for brain workers 10
use food especially adapted for re-
building the brain and nerve centers.
Grape-Nuts food was invented by an
expert especially for that purpose.
Knowledge of the food elements con-
tanned in the grains and how to pre-
pare these elements so as to be quickly
absorbed by the body. and used di-
rectly to replenish the lost phosphate
of potash (Which Is exhausted by
mental work) have brought about the
result. The proof can be had by any
brain worker who will take the treu-
bic to use Grape-Nuts for few days.
