VESPER DENIES 1T.
He Says City Board of Health Is Mis-
taken About Him.

Henry Vesper denies the statement
made by the board Of health officials to
the effect that he is planning to contest
the anti-hog ordinance. He has written
the following forcible letter to the State
Journal, in which he tells what he
thinks of the new ordinance:
ITO the Editor of the State Journal:
ALLOW me through the State Journal
to emphatically deny the statement
made in last nights paper regarding the
hogs. I never made such statement,
and who ever said I did is somewhat
misinformed and is taking a great deal
of responsibility upon himself. 1t is
true 1 have some hogs, and since the
council has passed the ordinance I have
been trying to dispose of them as fast
as possible, but I will say 1 think our
council has made a grand mistake in
making such class legislation.
LAS the article said, there are a num-
Der of poor people who if they had the
means would fight the ordinance, be-
cause it is going to deprive them of
winters meat But if it is a detriment
to the public health, as they say it is,
think our board of health can find
places of worse filth than the majority
of the hog pens. And what is going to
become of the offal that has been fed to
the hogs?
But as a law-abiding citizen. will
dispose of my hogs.

HILL BROOK FARM.
The Owner Comments on Grape Nuts.

A farmer with his out of door work
might have reason to expect more than
the average of good health if he would
use proper food and have it well cooked,
but many of them, in middle age. suffer
torments from dyspepsia, and following
that weakened nervous system.
To show the value of change in food
we quote from a letter written by L.
Flagler, owner of Hill Brook Farm,
Charlottesville, Va.
Il have spent a very considerable
amount of money in trying to cure my
stomach trouble with medicines, and
have changed climate several times
About two years ago 1 was taken
worse. My heart and kidneys gave me
much trouble. / could not sleep nights.
Was very nervous, thin and disccur-
aged. Finally 1 changed my food and
began taking Grape-Nuts Breakfast
Food. This agreed with me and
thought 1 could see my way out, so L
have stuck to Grape-Nuts for a year
and a half and gradually the old
troubles have disappeared.
1 have made splendid progress in
health and strength, sleep well and can
now do a good days work for a man of
fifty years
1 know that Grape-Nuts caused the
change. and although I am now able to
use other food as 1 like, still stick to
Grape-Nuts because I know how it
nourished me. and besides. wife and
both like the food.
She says nothing has helped her ner-
vous system like Grape-Nuts. We buy
the food by the case and are very en-
thusiastic in regard to it,
1t is plain that nervous, worn out
people can be brought back to health by
using Grape-Nuts.

ANOTHER COLLIN $ STORY.
An Emporia Negro Who Can ssClear"
John Collins.


The Emporia Gazette is responsible
for this, the latest John Collin box car
story:
Tom Williams, colored boy who has
lived in Emporia most of his life with
the exception of three terms he served
in the state penitentiary, left town a
month ago and said he was the man
who could clear John Collins, the To-
peka boy who is now in the penn for
life for killing his father. Yesterday
in the Topeka courts an appeal was
filed for new trial for Collins. If such
is granted Williams will be chief wit
ness at the trial. He recently told a
Gazette reporter that before he was
sent to prison the last time, which was
for an attempt to kill an Enporia
young man. that he was one of a num-
Der of negroes who had formed a Mot
to kill the senior Collins AS he was in
prison at the time of the murder and
the trial, Williams said it was useless
for him to Squeek. He said: IF / am
given hearing, 1 can clear John Col
Inns; John is just innocent of that
murder as you are 1t wasn't Johnson
Jordon who was ringleader in the plot
either, it was another niger. That plot
worked out exactly as it was laid down
to me before l was sent to the penn"
and can clear John Collins if l am
given a hearing" He was reluctant to
tell who the ringleader of the plot was
but finally said it was one of the Har-
per boys.
Tom Williams is known by everyone
in EmDoria. He is as black as the ace
of spades and when talking shuts one
eye and jerks his words out like a typi-
cal tough. After he told Gazette re-
porter how he stood in the case he re-
allied that he had said good deal and
requested that nothing be said of the
matter until an appeal for a new trial
had been filed. How much Williams
really had to do with the case is I'M
known except what he said and as to
how much truth there is in that is a
m after of conjecture. But if there is
any killing to be done Williams would
have been the man to talk to and it
developed in the last Collins trial that
he was implicated with the Topeka
negroes in the case

SORE NECK

Take SCOTS Emulsion for
scrofula. Children often have
sores on the neck that won't
heal up. The sores may come
and go. Parents may not
know what's the matter nor
what to do. Scrofula is the
trouble and SCOTS Emulsion
is the medicine.
SCOTS Emulsion heals the

Scrofula leads to consumption.
