the state since Sunday. has not abated.
In addition to three lives lost at Steph-
ensville. reported last night there has
been much property damage Within
four hours at Cameron yesterday, fff-
teen inches of rain fell. A thousand
feet of Santa Fe track was carried

Big Springs probably is the greatest
sufferer from the flood from a property
standpoint as the water is over the town
from four to twenty-five feet deep The
track for ten miles west of Big Springs
has been washed out and the bridges
are gone. Fifty passengers are water
bound here and no attempt will be
made to run trains until tn rain ceases

JUST THINK.
You Can Think When the Food Makes
Your Brain Work,

The mind does not work properly un-
less the right kind of food is furnished.
A young man studying biography said
that his progress was very slow. 1t
seemed impossible for him to pick up
the art and understand it.
He suffered continually with stomach
trouble and could not digest his food
properly, and he finally got so he could
do but little work and was tempted to
give up his studies altogether.
About that time some one told him
about the brain food Grape-Nuts and he
went in for it, In a short time very
remarkable change took place. His
stomach recovered and he became. free
from headaches. His hand was no long
er nervous and trembling when he used
the key, and the whole mystery of te-
legraphy untangled itself. for. as. he
says. Il had the mental power to mas
ter it, and the understanding came easy
when the mind was in poise and
strong"
He is now holding a responsible posi-
ton as an operator.
This is but one of the many flluStra-
tons of the advantage Of using food
purpcsely manufactured for rebuilding
the broken down gray matter In the
brain and nerve centers throughout the
body. The facts are there and can be
proven to anyone making the trial.
Don't overlook the recipe book in each
package of Grape-Nuts.

SOLDIERS WE'RE DEFEATED.
Topeka Ball Players Too Much For
Blue Coats.

The Topeka Business college baseball
team defeated the team of soldiers from
Fort Riley on the Washburn grounds
Friday afternoon by the score OF to
in a wonderful exhibition of poor play
ing.
Both sides went to pieces at critical
times and the ball rolled round the lot
like ping pong ball on a dining room
floor The T. B. C. infield was as full
of holes as a porous plaser and the out
fielders continually had to chase the
ball back into the game while the SOL
diers were trotting over the home plate.
Page tried the one handed grand stand
style with poor results and Boyd and
Ritchie needed sein to stretch across
in front of the grounders they failed to
handle The outfield for the Topeka
team put up an errorless game.
Slusser saved the business college
players from defeat. He pitched a
steady game even when it looked as if
it was useless. He struck out eight
men and contributed his share of hits.
The soldiers stopped scoring in the third
and then went to pieces while the T. B.
C. team scored six runs in the fourth
inning Hutchins umpired the game un-
til Griggs knocked a three base hit in
the seventh inning and brought two
men over the plate. That was too much
for the soldiers and they objected to

The Chicago and Northwestern Rail
way some time ago instituted a series
of startling reforms. One Of them was
that all ebrakemen and conductors
should be suave and courteous even to
passengers who asked the same ques-
=tion or an average of ten times to the
running mile. Then came an edict
that whistle was to be known as an
audible signal and a side track as
an auxiliary. Now comes the cli-
max. All trunks handled by the bag
gagenen OF this system are to be car
ried in the natural position, and not
chucked up on one end and thrown
across the baggage room; They are to
be deposited on truck bottomed with
a felt pad and gently transported to
or from the baggage car.

if some philanthropic corporation will
devise means for abolishing the Pull
