WISCONSIN DEMOCRATS.
They Will Meet Tomorrow to Nomi-
nate q Ticket.

Milwaukee, Wis, Aug. 21-Demoerats
of Wisconsin will meet tomorrow in this
city to nominate a state ticket. Clark
l. Hood of Lacrosse, will be the tenn
porary presiding officer. Louis G. Bonn
rich of Kenosha, undoubtedly will be
chosen to head the ticket unless a radi-
cal change takes place during the pro-
ceedings.
The Populists met in state convention
on the same day and some talk of fusion
of the two parties has been INDUCED in.
Populist leaders, however, express
themselves against the nomination OF
Bomrich and in case the Kenosha man
heads the ticket it is likely that the
Populists will nominate an Independent
ticket with A. A. Worrely of Racine, at
the head. The Kansas City platform
will be endorsed and the primary cleo
ton law plank offered two years ago will
likely be repeated in the resolutions.

BREAD DYSPEPSIA.
The Digesting Element Left Out

Bread dyspepsia is common. 1t effects
the bowels because white bread is nearly
all starch, and starch is digested in the
intestines, not i'll the stomach proper.
Up under the shell of the wheat berry,
Nature has provided a curious deposit
which is turned into diastase when it is
subjected to the saliva ana to the pan
create juices in the human intestines-
This diastase is absolutely necessary
to digest starch and turn it into grape
sugar, which is the next form; but that
part of the wheat berry, makes dark
flour, and the modern miller cannot
readily sell dark flour, natures valu-
able digestor is thrown out and the hui
man system must handle the starch as
best it can, without the help that Nature
intended.
Small wonder that appendicitis, peril
onitis, constipation, and all sorts of
trouble exist, when we go so contrary to
Natures law. The food experts that
perfected Grape-Nuts Food. knowing
these facts. made use, in their expert
ments. of the entire wheat and barley,
including all the parts, and subjected
them to moisture, and long continued
warmth, which allows time and the pro-
per conditions for developing the diaS-
tase. outside of the human body.
In this way the starchy part is trans
formed into grape sugar in a perfectly
natural manner, without the use Of
chemicals any outside ingredients
The little sparkling sryStalS of grape Su-
gar can be seen on the pieces of Grape
Nuts. This food therefore is mutually
predigested and it's use in place of bread
will quickly correct the troubles that
have been brought about by the too free
use of starch in the food and that is
very common in the human race today.
The effect of eating Grape-Nuts ten
days or two weeks and the discontinu-
ance of ordinary white bread. is very
marked The user will gain rapidly in
strength and physical and mental
health.

Reached the Fire Just Behind the
Ladder Truck.
Miss Kate Maxwell King made the
run to the fire last night and made it in

THE King boys" as Miss Kings

London volunteer fire department. They
have two wheeled cart with side lights
and gong and beneath the seat heavy
brass helmets and rubber coats. They
always report at the fire when a second

do good work with the regular firemen.
Yesterday evening Miss King was driv-

Otto Lugger, entomologist at the state

time when it will appear here, in the
very center of the milling industry of

The larvae have a peculiar habit of
trailing silken thread wherever they
go, and this waste silk, mixed with
flour and dust, often clogs the spouts to
such an extent as to stop the machinery.
It breeds continually in warm mills,
where the temperature is constant, and
four to six broods appear annually. 1t
