SENSE ABOUT FOOD.

1t is a serious question sometimes to
know just what to eat when a persons
stomach is out of order and most foods
cause gripping and pains
Grape-Nuts Food can be taken at any
time with the certainty that it will di-
gest. Actual experience of people is
valuable to any one interested in foods.
Mrs Ella Nation, 1852 Grand Ave,
Terre Eaute, Ind, Had suffered with
indigestion for about four years, ever
since an attack Of typhoid fever, and at
times could eat nothing but the very
lightest food, and then suffer such
agony with my stomach I would wish
never had to eat anything. 1 was urged
to try Grape-Nuts Food and since using
it 1 do not have to StarVe myself any
more, but 1 can eat it at any time and
feel nourished and satisfied, and dys-
pepsia is a thing of the past.
When my stomach used to have that
burning, hungry sensation my heart
would f1utter, just as sufferers with
stomach trouble know about, and when
1 was 50 weak l could hardly walk
would get up and get some Grape-Nuts
and cream and eat them and the trou-
BILE would stop right away, and 1 kept
growing better and better.
NY husband also had an experience
with Grape-Nuts Food He was very
weak and sickly in the spring. Could
not attend to his work. He was put un-
der the doctors care but medicine did
not seem TO 90 nm SOOQ until he
began to leave off ordinary food and
use Gcape-Nuts. 1t was positively sur
prising to see the change in him. He
grew better right off, and naturally he
has none but words of praise for Grape
Nuts
Our boy thinks he cannot eat a meal
without he has Grape-Nuts, and he
learns fast a school that his teacher
and other scholars comment on it. I
am satisfied that it is because of the
great nourishing elements in Grape
Nuts.
1t is pity that people do not know
what to feed their. children. There are
many mothers who feed their young
sters on almost any kind of food and
when they become sick begin to pour
the medicine down them. The real way
is to stick to proper food and be healthy
and get along without the medicine and
expense

A "HOTFOOT" STORY.
Member of Topeka Society Watched
in Mexico.

1t is told that George Wilcox, a To-
peka young man who went to the City
of Mexico some time ago to take posi-
ton in the general offices of the Mexi-
ucan Central, was Swallowed by the
Mexican authorities for several months.
Topeka has a. d social club known as
THE HotfootS." Wilcox was a member.
After he went to Mexico whenever any
old chum had occasion to write him he
would address the letter George Will
cox, Chief Executioner of The Hot
fOots-" The postal authorities of Mex
leo grew suspicious. They thought that
Wilcox was at the head of some secret
organization that had designs on the
rulers of nations. So the secret service
men of the government were placed on
the case. They kept Wilcox under sur
VIGILANCE night and day for several
weeks. One of them came to Topeka
to make an investigation at this end
of the line. He got the local authorities
to help him out He soon found out
that The Hotfoots was a social organi-
cation and was not one organized to
spill gore. He went home and reported
and the government called the secret
service men off the case

TROUBLE OVER EXTENSION
City Railway Tracks to Executive
Mansion Not Yet Assured. =.

An effort is being made to secure an
extension of the street car tracks on
West Eighth from Clay street, which is
now the end of the line, to Buchanan
street, where the governors mansion is
situated Governor Stanley is said to
be the originator of the idea, and his in
fluence is being exercised among the
people in that locality to secure favor
able action on the plan.
The greatest obstacle in the way of
the proposed extension is the fact that
the pavement which was petitioned for
made no allowance for car tracks If
the car tracks are put in, the property
owners along the block will have to pay
for the paving just the same, and the
result will be that the street car COM
pany will get it's tracks paved free Of
charge.
The matter is one for the people liv-
ing on the block to settle for them
selves The plan is to have a petition
presented to the council asking that
right of way be granted to the street
car company for this block. This petit
ton will be signed by resident property
owners on that block who signed the
petition for the pavement.
1t would be of considerable advan-

AT THE PLAY LAST NIGHT.

Tim Murphy, who was poorly adver-
tised in Topeka, drew a very small au-
dience at the Crawford last night in
"A Capitol Comedy" but nevertheless
Tim Murphy's barometer of thea trical
success is slowly but surely rising.
Soon it will be at the top. It will stay
there and not recede- 1t will not be
long before Murphy will be one of the
foremost comedians of the day. His
name will be where those of Robson, Sol
Smith Russell and Crane now are.
The play is well constructed, has a
connected plot, no highly dramatic and
unreal climaxes, but tells a story of
everyday political life in Washington

a claim to present before congress, as
