WORK DON'T HURT.
Poor Selection of Food is the Cause of
Break-Downs.

Poor Selection of Food Is the Cause of
Break-Downs.
Many men, and women, too, feel
that their work is the cause of symp-
toms of nervous breakdown, but
work is not the cause, as any one
can prove to their entire satisfaction,
bv leaving off the food they have
oeen trying to subsist on, and taking
IN it's place food made for the express
purpose of rebuilding the brain and
nerve centers in the body and supply
ing other portions with sufficient
nourishment and keep right on with
the same work and get well and
strong.
An illustration is given in the case
of +. A. Whitley, superintendent of
the public schools at Excelsior, MINI.
He is also a student and teacher of hy-
giene. He says: "This spring at the
beginning of the last month of school
[ was very much run down, and since
my duties are quite combining, nat
urallv ascribed my condition to that.
Il discovered that made the same
mistake that many do. 1t is not
work, hut lack of proper food that
causes breakdown. Wife went visit
ing at this time aud / concluded TO get
my own meals for n time. The gro
Ger suggested that / use a ready
cooked food known as Grape-Nuts. I
found the food delicious, requiring no
cooking. | simply poured milk or
cream over it and had it in that way.
81 used Grape-Nuts for breakfast,
dinner and supper, and like il so
we'll simply lived on it for the next
three weeks. My work continued
quite as arduous and combining as be-
tore, but i experienced decided rise
in spirits and vitality as well as in
general health. Found did not tire
ts before and entirely lost that worn
out feeling which seems to take the
heart out of one.
81 am satisfied the change was due
to my change in food, and have been
so greatly helped and have been
taught so valuable lesson in food as
related to the human body that |
wish to express my appreciation in
this manner"
1t will pay any brain worker to dis
pense with pant of the ordinary diet
and use Grape-Nuts once or twice a
day at least, for the food is made by
food experts, for purpose, and that
purpose is to furnish the human sys-
fem with the elements, in a concen-
trated form, required for rebuilding
the brain and nerve centers through
out the body. There is no sort of
question of the truth of the state
ment and value of the food, as can be
demonstrated by anyone.

BIG PRICES PAID FOR
MISSISSIPPI PEARLS

WI. Gardner, of lie Claire, Iowa,
one of the best known buyers and
dealers in pearls on the Mississippi
river, was in the city last night and
stopped at the Hotel Bronson, says
the La Crosse Chronicle. He came
here from Hastings, where he pur-
chased pearl from man named
Wells, who found it while digging for
clans. The pearl weighs 81 grains
and Mr.. Gardner paid 81 200 for it.
He claims that this is one of the four
largest pearls ever found in the Mis-
sissippi river. 1t. is a pea colored
pearl and is said to be one of the
most perfect ever seen.
The largest pearl ever found in the
Mississippi was bought from William
Moore, of Comanche. Iowa, and
weighed 112 grains. but it had to be
shaved down until it weighed only So
grains before perfect pearl could be
obtained. This one was bought for
1000.
The highest priced pearl Mr.. Gard
ner has had in his possession was one
that weighed 81 grains and was sold
to Bunby Sc Upmeier. OF Milwaukee.
for 81 500. Another very fine speci-
men was recently bought by a man
named Heide, of Prairie du CHEN, for
81, 900. 1t weighed 43 grains.

clusively because 1t meets my require
ments perfectly in every respect. ~
w. Q. L See boeck, who is to play in
concert at the Rock Island Club in the
near future, SAYS: The Kim ball
piano furnished me during my en-
gagements at the Worlds Fair is the
peer of any piano l have ever played
upon" August Hyllested, who
played in Davenport not long ago,
says: 1.-The Kim ball piano ranks first
among all modern instruments of
music in tone quality as in tone
capacity"
These superb instruments can be
seen at Bowlby's, both grand and up
right, in all the late designs and
fancy figured wood cases.
They &re the only strictly irst-class
pianos I'm this country that are made
aud sold at fair legitimate business
profit; 800 to 5000 for name and
sentiment would not add to their real
worth.

similar from that of his attack on in

Stevenson's closest friend, he strips
Stevenson's personality OF the fantastic
romance woven about it, and shows
him to have been at times a vain, I'M
grateful, self-righteous, anxious ego
list. possessed of abundant but imita-
tive gifts. The criticism provokes in
dignant surprise among the admirers
of the author of Treasure Island ."
though, however ungenerous it may
seem, it will serve as a useful correct

Stevenson cult has been carried in some
quarters This weeks publication of

attest his undoubtedly high place
among English poets. in defiance alike
