The usual starchy foods SO largely
used for children lack the constitu-
ents which they need to develop
muscle and bone, and put life and
vigor into the blood.
In Malt Breakfast Food the
diastase of the malt changes the
small portion of starch in the wheat
to maltose, the most nutritious food
element, and this with the gluten
and phosphates of the wheat gives
a muscle-building and bone-forming
food of unequaled qualities.

clans replied they had At this juncture
Mr.. Creamer laughed loudly, saying there
was no such work as 'Oomah' on insanity
or on anything else; that he merely pro-
pounded the question to test the recollection

ing been before Justice Cole the 18th in

for a period of two years. and that, In the
opinion of the Attorney General il Mr.

the rights of persons and property would
be greatly jeopardized, and the preserva-
ton OF the public peace imperiled. The
Attorney General further declared that Mr.

police department, he having been taken in
charge because he was regarded as being
dangerous not only to himself but to others
