Never Ask Advice.

When you have a cough or cold
don't ask what is good for it and get
some medicine with little or no merit

Mr.. DAWSON HEDGES.
MOdifies His Statement About
Government Lands.

The officials of he government land
offices say that there is still con-
siderable amount of good government
land open to settlement in western and
northwestern Kansas. A few days ago
Assistant Attorney General Dawson
was quoted as saying that most of the
good agricultural land is gone, and
what is left is good chiefly for grazing
purposes. He says he was referring to
Trego county and that there is still con-
siderable land in other counties which
is good for wheat.
Mr.. Dawson has been looking up the
public land question for some time and
familiarizing himself with the location
of much that is still unsettled. In speak
ing of it today he said:
THE bumper wheat crop and the
f1attering prospects for a corn crop have
given a decided impetus to the settle
ment of government lands in western
Kansas The demand for harvest hands
brought twenty-five thousand able
bodied men into the state. The colleg-
ians and young millionaires whom cur
iosity and the pursuit of novelty brought
into the state have departed, but thou
sands of the others will become per-
manent residents and of these a con-
siderable number will use their home
stead rights by settling on the govern
ment lands in the west Already there
has been considerable demand for gov
eminent lands, and, now that the har-
vest is practically over. the United
States land offices are getting ready for
the rush There are many thousands
of acres of homestead land in western
Kansas which may be had for the NOM
inal fee of registration.
w. F. Ward, register of the Colby land
office says: I'VE can furnish homa-
steads for 500 farmers in this district
and the land is all good for farming ana
grazing"
I'VE have nearly 3OO,o 600 acres of gov
eminent land in this district" writes
Otis L. Atherton of the Wa-Keeney land
district And it is practically all good
wheat land The young men who came
into the wheat belt for harvest work
desire to stay in it and are inquiring
about homesteads. They are filing on
them too. I believe that every good
quarter section of government land an
this district will have settler on it be-
fore snow flies.
Following is a list by counties and
acres of the homestead lands open for
settlement in the Colby and Wa-kee-
ney land districts:
Colby land office-Cheyenne, $500;
Decatur. 600: Mitchell. 100; Osborne,
400: Phillips. 40: Rawlins. 1880; Rocks,

AN EARNEST APPEAL.
United States Asked to Cooperate in

New York, Aug. San earnest APP

Shanghai in saving the lives of the pat

The Reform party is not against the

eminent We are for the emperor, who
shares in our desire but we are opposed
to the dowager empress, because she is
opposed to everything that will disturb.

5,240; Scott, 1850; Wichita, 14.0S0; Gree
ley, 1920. Total, 2S2. 1873 acres.
The requirements of the settler are
few and easily complied with. The reg
istration and filing fees are $14 or SIS
according to the location of the land.
The settler has six months in which to
move on the land and build a sod-house
or more pretentious habitation. There
after he must make the land his home
for five years, but he is permitted to be
absent for not exceeding six months at
one time. One good crop will pay for the
erection of a good house and barn, fence
the land and pay for a windmill-which
last is a most necessary adjunct to
western homestead At the expiration
of five years or within two years there
after the settler must make final proof
of his residence and cultivation of the
land, whereupon a patent is issued to
the settler from the government bearing
the autograph of the president.

FARM MEMORIES
Come Back in Food.

How often a good appetite and a
cracking good meal will bring back
memories of old days on the farm!
A mother says: MY eldest son who
has always had weak stomach was
finally compelled to give up his posi-
ton.
L thought I could nurse him back to
health and began feeding him Grape
Nuts for breakfast and after a short
time he formed such a liking for it that
concluded to give it TO him for sup
per too.
He wanted me to prepare it even
oftener. but I did not do so for I was
afraid he would take dislike to the
food by getting 100 much of it and
felt certain it would help him if he
would only continue it's use.
He began to pick up rapidly and
now he is well and strong again and
has gone back to business and he holds
with honor A position that is very try
ing to the brain. Only yesterday he
said to me 'Grape-Nuts has certainly
done wonders for me; [ would not pass
day without 1t and it has such a fine
tase too 1t puts me in mind of how
we used TO enjoy food on the farm
Il first saw Grape-Nuts at a luncheon
one day at friends house and as soon
as l tasted ii [ formed a liking for it,
MY friend had formerly been sick but
now she lives almost entirely upon
Crane Nuts and she is also building up
a delicate little daughter upon the food
and the story she told me of what
Grape-Nuts had done for both of them
was certainly remarkable" Name Civ
