EASY FOOD.
Ready For Instant Use Without Cooking

Almost everyone likes a cereal food
of some kind at breakfast and supper,
but the ordinary way of cooking cereals
results in pasty mass that requires
strong digestive power to get along
with, and if not properly digested, the
raw mass goes down into the intestinal
tract where gas is generated and all
sorts of troubles set up
Everyone knows that good food prop
erly digested keeps the body we'll while
poor food, or even food of good quality
that is poorly prepared and not digest
ed is sure to bring some kind Of dis
ease.
The easiest food to digest in this line
barley, and cooked thoroughly at the
factory, some ten or twelve hours being
consumed in the different processes of
preparation. The food, therefore, is
ready for instant service and the starch
has been changed to Grape Sugar, so
that it is pre-digested and ready for al
most immediate assimilation.
Miss r. E. Phillips, a young lady at
1856 Vernon Ave, Chicago, writes that
she suffered for years from indigestion
and dyspepsia from the use of food that
was not suitable to her powers of diges-
ton.
She says, IT began using Grape-Nuts
and confess to having had a prejudice,
at first, and was repeatedly urged be-
AOA AAAA0A4y aCCiOSd u lIy the 1000,
but have not known what indigestion
is since using it, and have never been

pounds"
People can be well. practically with
out cost, if they will adopt scientific
food and leave off the ipdigestible sort
Grape-Nuts Food is sold at all first
class groceries. 1t is crisp and delicious

actly as it comes from the package,

have only three or four prisoners in at
a time perhaps. The jails are merely
little cages with a stone wall around
them. Taxpayers object to footing big
bills for prison keep and commissioners
keep bills down for the record they
make of economy and to avoid the
wrath of the people.
1.-The Jail at Leavenworth is in good
condition, Wichita is all right and To-
peka is fair. In some of the smaller
towns the liberal application of water
and elbow grease by half a dozen lazy
inmates is badly needed. Poor houses
in some counties are as badly OFF, The
fault is quite general over the state
and must be given attention by the
next legislature. The board will recon-
mend probably, that district judges be
given authority to compel county COM
miSsioneIS to act"
Sheriffs are custodians of the smaller
jails and they get 40 cents a day per
capita for feeding the prisoners When
the Oskaloosa jail got Klusmire for
guest, the sheriff had to get new bed
and bedding at his own expense as the
county commissioners would not pay
for them
Mr.. Allen says the county prison sys-
tenn of the state is due for a general
overhauling and the state board of
charities will recommend that 1t gets
it at the hands of the next legislature.

These are two of the Thanksgiving as

Elsie Reasoner the successful maya
zine and newspaper woman who halls

She hit Reid on his forehead with an

it produced.
The railways will make special rates
to the Thanksgiving day football games
at Kansas City and Emporia. The
Kansas City game is between Kansas
and Missouri universities. The one at
Emporia is between Kansas and Mis-
souri, normal schools. Why not have a
rate to the TopeKa-O game? 1t

The asphalt pavement repairs are to
be continued until the city engineer is
satisfied that the contract of the COM
pany with the city is fulfilled. This was
agreed to at the meeting of representa-
tves of the city and company Wednes-
day afternoon. All holes which existed
prior to October 10 will be repaired.
October 10 was the date upon which the
Barber contract expired.

TOPEKA'S is FAIR.
So Says Henry Allen of the County
Jail.

The discussion concerning the condi-
ton OF the county jails of the state,
which has been called forth by the re-
cent meeting of the state association of
charities and corrections. calls out a
statement from Henry Allen, chairman
of the state board of charities and cor
rections- The last legislature made it
the duty of the board to inspect the
Jails and poor houses of the state, and
Mr.. Allen therefore knows what he is
talking about. AS a result of the in
vestfga lions of the board it will proba-
bly, recommend to the next legislature
that district judges be given mandatory
power to compel county commissioners
and sheriffs to keep county prisons in a
more sanitary condition.
We found jails in a horrible unsani-
tary condition on our rounds" said Mr..
Allen. I'VE made the rounds because
this duty was added to our list last
winter. All that the board can do is to
recommend There is nothing we can
do to alleviate
The district judges can only recon-
mend No one can compel common
cleanliness to be maintained This Is
especially true in the country towns
where they have no water service Wa
ter must be hauled long distances. They

HAIL ASSOCIATION LOST.
Seeks to Recover Premium in CLAY
County Without Success.

Clay Center, Kas-, Nov. 21.-The
Farmers Hail association, of Topeka,
did a large business among the farm
ers of this county in the summer of
1900, taking as security notes for the
amount of the premium. which formed
a part of the application and contract.
Among those who made application
for hail insurance was VIM. Fred, of
Morganville. When his policy was sent
to him he took exceptions to it and
refused to accept it as it was not in
conformity with the application.
The hail association sued him on the
note, and the case was tried before q
jury in Justice Mobiles court last Sep
TENDER. The jury brought in a verdict
in favor of the association. Fred ap-
pealed, and his case came up for hear
ing at this term of court. The court
ruled that the hail association had not
shown their authority to do business in
the state of Kansas, and threw the case
out of court. They held a certificate
from the secretary of state showing
that the Farmers Mutual Hail Insur-
ance company was authorized to do
tua1 Hail association.
The president of the association, F. H
Foster, of Topeka, and Hy w. Stack
pole, of this place, represented the
plaintiff, and r. G. Miller and Coleman
& Williams represented Fred. This was
made a test case. All the farmers who
had made application for hail insurance
in the concern Joined issues and helped
fight the case

MRS. MAHANA GOES FREE.
Woman Convicted of Selling Liquor
Pardoned by Governor.

Governor Stanley has pardoned Mrs
Lima Mahana, who has been in the
Shawnee county Jail since last May
serving a sentence for selling liquor
Her pardon was recommended by Judge
A. l. Redden and others, because she
is old and a cripple and has been sick
much of the time she has been in Jail.
Her original sentence was for 120 days
imprisonment and to pay a fine of $40O
She has already served her sentence
but is unable to pay her fine.
Mrs Mahana is the widow of an old
soldier who lived on East Fourth street
and who committed suicide two years
ago. She was arrested and convicted
through the efforts of Assistant Attor-
ney General Redden on the charge Of
selling liquor. 1t was the first convic-
ton he secured. She was never known
before to be in the joint business. If
she had not been pardoned she would
have had to remain in the Jail a year
longer. She and Mrs. Nation were lock-
ed up in the same cell. Mrs Nation
says Mrs. Mahana is not altogether re-
sponsible for her actions.

gold by the sale of their seats in West

large sums have been offered both in
America and Europe for seats on the
occasion of the coronation.

Kansas Won't Be There.

The state of Kansas will have no
exhibit at the South Carolina and West
Indian exposition at Charleston, S. c.,
which begins next month. Kansas has
a commission for the exposition, but it
has no appropriation to work with The
idea of a popular subscription for an
exhibit has been abandoned, and the
commission will probably depend upon
booklets and other printed matter to
bring Kansas to the attention of the
visitors at the exposition. Silas Porter,
chairman of the commission was up
from Kansas City, Kas., last night talk
ing over the matter with Governor
Stanley.
