BRAIN BUILDING.
How to Feed Nervous Cases

"a. How to Feed Nervous Cases.
Hysteria sometimes leads to insanity
and should be treated through feeding
the brain and nerves upon scientific
ally selected food that restores the
lost delicate gray matter. Proof of the
power of the brain food Grape-Nuts is
remarkably strong.
about eight years ago when work
ing very hard as a court stenographer
I collapsed physically and then nerv-
ously and was taken to the State Hos
pital for the insane at Lincoln, Neb., a
raving maniac.
They had to keep me in strait
jacket, and 1 was kept in the worst
ward for three months. l was finally
dismissed in the following May, but
did no brain work for years until last
fall, when was persuaded to take the
testimony in two cases. One of these
was a murder case. and the strain
upon my nervous system was so great
that I would have broken down again
except for the strength had build up
by the use of Grape-Nuts. When
began to feel the pressure of the work
or my brain and nerves l simply in
creased the amount of Grape-Nuts,
and used the food more regularly.
81 now feel like my old self again
and am healthy and happy. l am sure
that if 1 had known Of Grape-Nuts
when had my trouble eight years ago
l would never have collapsed and this
dark spot in my life would never have
happened. Grape-Nuts' power as a
brain food is simply wonderful, and
do not believe any stomach is so weak
that it cannot digest this wonderful
food. I feel delicacy about having
my name appear in public. but if you
think it would help any poor sufferer
you can use it." Name given by Pos
tum Co., Battle Greek, Mich.
There are desserts and desserts. The
delicious. health-giving kind are told
about in the little recipe book found
in each package of Grape-Nuts.

Big Day At Stock Yards.

Wichita, June l9.-Five thousand
hogs were offered for sale at the union
stockyards and with the exception of
few which the buyers did not have
time to look over and buy, all were
sold at the close of the days business.
Notwithstanding that 900 of the offer
ings were held over from the night
before, having arrived too late for the
days business, the combined offering
on market made the supply the largest
ever seen at the yards by even the old
est commission man. At conservative
estimate $50, 900 worth of business was
transacted on hogs alone, not counting
a big business in the cattle section of
the yards. Half the supply offered at
least was taken by the local packers
for killing purposes. Probably 500
were taken by spectators and the
remainder went to the buyers for out
side hackers

KANSAS STEERS TOP MARKET.
Had Been Fed Eight Months On Corn
And Alfalfa.


And Alfalfa.
Chicago, ILL.,, June 1S.-The Live
Stock Report says:
E. p. Carnahan, the well known
feeder of Stockdale, Kars., was on the
Ioarket Wednesday with sixty-four
head of mixed Hereford and Shorthorn
grades, averaging Its pounds, which
were sold by Clay, Robinson and COM
pany, at $3.50, topping the market 10
cents, no others selling above $500 out
of a total supply of $4,000. They were
purchased by Cal Leavitt for the Bos-

Part of the cattle were of Mr.. Carna-
hans own raising, and all had been
fulfilled eight months, getting ear corn
and alfalfa hay the first few months,
and shelled and ground corn toward
the close of the feeding period. They
were all dehorned and presented Il
very pleasing appearance, attracting
universal attention i'll the pens. The
only objection that could be made is
that they were too heavy for the pres
ent demands of the trade.
