Old DR.. Hanaford, of Reading, Mass
says in the Messenger: "Our health
and physical and mental happiness
are so largely under our personal Coz
troll that the proper selection of food
should be, and is, one of the most i'm
portant acts in life.
"On this subject, may say that
know of no food equal in dig stibil-
ity. and more powerful in point of
nutriment. than the modern Grape
Nuts. four heaping teaspoons of which
is sufficient for the cereal part of a
meal, aud experience demonstrates
that the user is perfectly nourished
from one meal to another.
II am convinced that the extensive
and general use of high class foods of
this character would increase the
term of human life, a6d to the sum
total of happiness and very considera-
bly, improve society in general. am
free to mention the food, for | person
ally know of its value"
Grape-Nuts food can be used by ba-
bies in arms, or adults. 1t is ready
cooked, can be served instantly, either
cold with cream. or with hot water or
hot milk poured over. All sorts of
buildings and fancy dishes can be
made with Grape-Nuts. The food is
eoncentrated'and very economical. for
four heaping teaspoons are sufficient
for the cereal part of a meal.

Old Fashioned Disease Raging at Clinton

Old Fashioned Disease Raging at Clinton.
Iowa.
Hardly livery barn in Clinton has
escaped the visit of the old fashioned
epizootic. Inquiry made at the stables
shows that the disease has been preva-
lent for several weeks and may now
be at its height. Some of the barns
have from to 20 horses sick.
Others have horses ailing. but not
quite far enough along to tell the
real cause. In some cases the barn
men say it is pink eve" and in
others they call it sort of hay itch.
Lots of sick animals are being cared
for. and though ittle fear is enter
tanned of their dyfnESthe damage to
business is sometimes serious.
Some of the doctors, too, are af-
fected, as their animals are among the
first to succumb. and they are obliged
to get horses for their buggies from a
boarding stable that is not affected.
Some of the retail grocery firms re-
port sick horses, and the dry goods
department stores are in the same
fix. When the horses are sick they
are just bad enough to require close
attention, and while apparently able
to work, it will not do to drive them,
as to catch a cold or to become over
heated nearly always means death.
The veterinarians are busy, some OF
them making daily trips to the coun-
try. where farm horses are down with
the disease.

No Cash Offers to Be Considered
{ in Connection With Lo.
cation.

In the organization yesterday at
Springfield of the new board appointed
by the governor to select site for
the proposed Western Illinois Normal
school, Charles j. Searle, of this city,
was chosen president and b. NJ. Chip
perfield, of Fulton county, secretary.
After preparing notice of proposals
the board adjourned to meet at Gales
burg Aug. 6, when a tour of cities
applying for the institution will be
begun. Then an effort will be made
imm ediately to determine the loca-
ton.
Instructions have been given by the
governor that no consideration be ac-
corded cash offers; that each town
stand entirely on it's merits as de-
sirable home for the school, the erec-
ton of which the governor is DESTROYS
shall proceed as soon as possible.
OF the cities working to secure the
school only Aledo, Monmouth and
Macomb were represented at yester-
days meeting at Springfield.
Tanner to Board.
Gov. Tanner addressed the board,
explaining his reasons for requesting
the designations of the members of
the old board, declaring his pposi-
ton to the plan of selling the loca-
ton to the highest bidder, and out
lining what he thought ohould be
considered in locating the institution.
In part, the governor said:
The former board, acting consci-
ho xxrnrAino Of hn
statute, proceeded contrary to the
policy of this administration. 1t is
/. well known fact that the policy of
the administration, as expressed in
many utterances orally and in writ
ing, is opposed to the old system
winch has been in vogue from the
early history of our state, of selling
the sites of these state institutions to
the highest bidders.
such action is not for the best in
terests of the taxpayers, nor for the
best interest of the institutions. II
money is to be taken into considera
ton and donations in money are re-
ceived, you are likely 10 get the NEST
unfavorable spot for the institution
In selecting the location it would
not be going beyond reasonable pro-
priety for the city offering itself as a
candidate to offer site for the build
ings of sufficient size. You should
take into consideration water supply,
shade. lawns, play grounds, ETC., and
in addition to that the paving or
graveling of the road where it is To-
Gated to the grounds of the institu-
ton, together with good sidewalks
from the city to the school. This is
as far as ! would suggest that the

Mr.. Ringdahl afterwards went to
Crook where he became a
State senator on the Populist ticket,
and two years ago was a candidate
flor congress against F.. NJ. Eddy,
who defeated him. In January OF
1899 he was appointed a railroad
commissioner by Gov. Lind. His
visit here last Tuesday aud We'd
nesday was the first since he left
Redwood Falls.
Mr.. Ringdahl chatted pleasantly
with a GAZETTE reporter Tuesday
night. He referred to his contest
for congress with F. NJ. Eddy. Mr..
Ringdahl is good looking man and
has that reputation up in the Sew
enth. Mr.. Eddy has the record all
over the United States as being the
homeliest man that has ever been
put on earth by the Almighty. This
is what helped Mr. Eddy, according
to Mr. Ringdahl. Whenever Mr..
Eddy made a speech or talked be-
fore a crowd he invariably referred
to Mr.. Ringdahl as the handsomest
man in the State. Mr.. Eddy had
but to show himself to prove that
he was to the contrary. This went
all over the district and farmer yot-
ers and business and professional
voters, while longing to look at the
handsome Ridgdahl; insisted on
casting their vote for the homely
Eddy. ''Eddy's friends worked
that to the queen S taste on me,
said Mr.. Ringdahl, and it was
impossible for me to stem the tide.
1t cost me an election.
Mr.. Ringdah] advised every man
to take an interest in politics. but
not to the extent of making a bust
ness of it. He said that he was a
much poorer man, as a result of his
political career. than if he had re-
manned in his regular business.

Il have learned whole lot that
will prove beneficial to me in years

Renewing an Asparagus Bed.

An old and run out or neglected as
paragus bed can be best improved aft
er the season for cutting is over by
putting on liberal dressing of manure
in June or July and blowing it in, not
taking much care to prevent breaking
the roots or to save seeding plants.
The plants are apt to become root
bound, and they will grow all the bet
ter for little breaking up Of the mat
ted roots. Keep the weeds out all the
summer, and in early spring or even in
February, if the ground is open, put
on from 600 pc lnds to half ton Of
good fertilizer to the acre. This will
push it along to make a good growth,
and it will be better if it is not cut very
freely that spring or not at all after
the first Of June.

ton and operation ID Republican
minds and hands. Senator Nelson
and Congressman Eddy have been
particularly active in pushing
various free homestead measures,
and the whole delegation from
Minnesota has always stood as an
active champion Of such measures.
Really, about the only thing that
anyone can get free in this
country is home, and the Republi-
can party has always recognized the
public necessity for meeting every
legitimate demand of the people for
homesteads. It is the theory of the
Republican party that an American
citizen is entitled to first choice in
the selection and allotment of public
lands, and it has always sought to
encourage actual settlement and the
building of homes for actual settlers.
It has encouraged immigration and
believed in the theory of building
up the country by building up the
farms first The Republican party
is quite as willing to be known as
the party Of free homesteads as the
Democratic party is to pose as the
party of free silver.
-Four years ago every street
corner was the stumping ground for
free silver orators, and every such
orator could command an audience.
The Democratic party was in
power then and working men had
nothing else to do but stand on the
corners and listen to the volunteer
expoundeas of the Democratic faith.
This year, after three years of Re-
publican rule, the workingmen are
too busy to turn out and listen to
these sidewalk missionaries. In
1896 Rice Park in St. Paul, was
crowded every evening with uuem-
ployed men listening to free silver
arguments, and the only men in the
crowd on salary were those who
were paid by the Democratic com
mittee to 90 there and talk free
silver. This year the crowd con-
sists, for the greater part, of ser
want girls out for an airing, and
workingmen taking theia evening S
rest. It is the difference between
Democracy and Republicanism; the
difference between hard times and
good times, the difference between
high wages and no wages.
