cool FOOD
For Hot Days.

Better health comes with less meat
and fat during the warm weather
By proper and pleasant diet you can
prepare the body for summer and feel
from 10 to 20 degrees cooler than your
neighbor.
= Grape Nuts and cream, a little fruit
and possibly a couple of soft boiled eggs
is sufficient for your breakfast An or
binary portion of Grape-Nuts contains
sufficient nourishment to fully sustain
the body until the MONDAY meal; being
a pre-digested food, it does not overtax
the stomach and contains none Of the
heat supplied by the heavy carbonace-
Gus foods.
Fully cooked at the factory by food
experts, brings it to you ready to serve,
and does away with the heat Of cook
ing and the time necessary to prepare
ordinary food. and its crisp daintiness
is pleasing to the palate Of young and
old
Many delicious recipes are found in
each Grape-Nuts package, so that the
form of eating the wholesome food can
be changed to suit the user.
These suggestions. if followed for lc
days win convince the most skeptlcal
that a cool body, an active braAHFanu an
energy hitherto unknown viii prevail
and the general 1assitude peculiar to
warm weather viii disappear.

NEED $500 HARYESTERs.
State Employment Agent Gerow Com
pletes Figures.

State Employment Agent Gerow has
notified E. B. Howard, agent of the
Missouri free employment bureau at
Kansas City that Kansas win need $500
harvest hands within the Immediate
future, and he has sent to Mr. Howard
a list of counties to which they should
be sent and the number of men wanted
in each. The list is as follows:
Barton, 1000 men, the principal points
being Ellinwood. Clafiin, Hoisington,
Olmitz.
Rush county approximately 500 men,
distributing points: Bison, McCracken.
Shawfer, Timkin, Rush Center, Tacoma
and Alexander
STAFFORD county, 600 men, to Macks,
vile, st. John and Stafford.
Pawnee county, 200 men. Larned Is
the distributing point.
Edwards county. 400 men to Pelgre
and Kinsley.
Pratt county. /. 500 men, to Pratt City.
Kingman county, 1000 men, 500 to
Kingman the balance to be divided be-
tween KingHan, Norwich, Rabos Nash
vile and Cleveland
The railroads have stipulated that all
harvest hands going out of Kansas City
who want to have advantage of the
special harvest hand rates must go IN
der the direction of Superintendent Ho-
ward Of the Missouri free agency This
is for two purposes: First, to keep per-
sons who do not want employment from
getting the benefit of the special rates,
and second, to protect the harvest hands
themselves from the employment agents
who bleed them for fees
The agents of the railroads through
the wheat-belt are also making reports
to Superintendent Howard of the num-
Der of men wanted in their immediate
localities. These are checked up with
the lists sent by Mr.. Gerow so that none
may be duplicated
The first shipment Of harvest hands
viii be made by Mr.. Howard tonight,
and from now on he will send them
out as rapidly as he can secure them.
1t is not likely that he will secure any
where near the number called for, but
it is also likely that many men viii 60
into the harvest fields in wagons and
from other sections of the state, so that
the full number wanted may be filed.
The wages for men in the harvest field
vary according to the individual ability
of the hand. Ordinary willing workers.
who never had any experience get from
$50 to 81 a day, according to the kind
of work they are set to do. EXPERIENCED
shockers and stackers get from $3.50 up
as high as $3.50 a day, the amount with
in these two figures depending upon
locality at times and the Individual at
other times. There are men who are
worth and receive for their work as
much as 81 a day on the harvest field
but they are usually men of local repu-
tation who have demonstrated that
they have the work reduced to a sys-
tenn. and can do as much as three OF
four entirely inexperienced hands

FiStiG Combat,

AS a result of a fight which oc
cured in Jones & Clark's store
Solomonyille, last Monday evening
Bob Johns in under arrest, await
ing the result Of the injuries of his
antagonist, W. A. Bishop.
Johns was arrested by Deputy
Sheriff Henry Hill, of Duncan
who was present, and the story
told by him is about as follows:
Bishop, who is watermaster OF
the San Jose canal, had accused
Johns of stealing water. Johns
denied the charge and a war OF
words ensued. Finally both went
into the store, and Johns told Ben
Clark, who is director of the ca
nal, Of the trouble. He said that
Bishop accused him of stealing wa.
ter and had already called him i
Cd d-G thieving s. Of Il b.
and that he could not talk to him
any more and that he had come to
him, Clark, to try and settle the
matter, that Bishop was mistaken,
he had not stolen any water
When Johns made this statement
Bishop said yes, you are Cd d-n
thieving Of a b. Johns replied
that if he called him that again he
would have to fight. Bishop re-
peated it and struck at Johns, then
the real fight began. Johns threw
Bishop and struck him several
times in the face, when he was
pulled off by Deputy Hill. AS
Hill pulled him off Johns kicked
Bishop twice in the face. 1t took
several minutes and considerable
water to revive Bishop and he had
several commissions during the
next day.
Other stories Of the affair are
told, some saying that Bishop re.
ceivsd bis worst injury by striking
his head on the counter as he fell,
1t is also said that when Bishop
called Johns bad names Johns
called him the same names, and
that Bishop struck at him twice,
Johns was released on a bond of

PREFER BOYS IN BLUE.
Protests Against The Determination
10 Change Color Of The
Army Uniform.

Secretary Root has made him
self unpopular with the families
Of armyofiicers by his recent order
changing the color Of the army
uniform from blue to olive green.
There is a sentiment about a "blue
uniform" which is cherished as
fondly by army women as by the
men who wear them.
The wife Of a distinguished army
officer, in condemning the change,
expressed the sentiments Of many
officers wives thus:
"We have learned to think and
speak Of the army as the 'boys
in blue" Now we are to behold
those whom we love and honor
attired in a bilious green uniform,
which has no sentiment, no dura.
ity or beauty. We have seen
what the proposed new uniform
looks like, because some Of the
Washington Park policemen wear
the so-called regulation green uni
form. They are horrid as com
pared with the much.loyed army

will send Congress round robin

retirement of the true blue uni
