CEREAL BREAKFAST FOODS.
Bulletin of The Maine Agricultural
Experiment station.

VI tht
Experiment station.
Bulletin 81 OF the Maine experiment
station contains the analyses of fifty
cereai break fast foods collected In the
Maine markets. together with discus
sion u. their relative nutriIive values and
cost.
A few years ago Ihominy and oatmeal
we're the only cereal breakfast foods used
to any great extent IN this country. To-
day these pre- parstions have been greatly
improved, and wheat, barley and rice pro-
ducts have been added to the list.
The mum Der and variety OF this class of
foods are so rapidly increasing that it Is
difficult to make an intelligent choice.
All the breakfast foods collected for
analysis were of good quality, and the
preparations as a class deserve the high
degree of popularity to which they have
attained. While some OF these materials
undou btedly excel others, both In palata-
oiiity and food value, The prices do not
seem to stand in very close relation to
their ctual food values.
Bulletin 81 viii be sent free to all resi-
dents OF Maine who apply to the Agri-
cultural experiment station ,lorono.

They All Say So.
Not Only in Ellsworth but in Every
CITY and Town in.the Union.

II the reader took the time and trouble
to ask his fellow residents of Ellsworth
The simple question given below, be would
obtain the one answer. IL he would read
the statements now being published in
Ellsworth which refer to this answer, 1t
would surprise him to note that they
number sol many. As many more could
be, and may be published, but in the
meantime ask the first person you meet
what cures backache. The answer will be
Deans kidney Pills. Here is citizen
who endorses our claim:
Mrs. Zelpha Springer, at West franklin,
II miles from Ellsworth, Me-, says: any
kidneys showed indications OF derange-
ment for years, hnally eliminating in
marked symptoms of dropsy. My feet
and limbs swelled, my heart troubled me,
could not sleep at night on account OF
bsckache, and despite the use of remedies
received little IL any benefit. Always
anxious to obtain something to relieve
me OF my trouble II not to radically cure
1t, procured Doan's Kidney Pills at Wig
gins drug store in Ellsworth. The first
box did me good. ] continued the treat
ment end gradually improved. l am just
at the allotted span of life, three score and
ten, and do not expect radical cure but ]
can conscientiously say that Doan's Kid
