Malt Breakfast Food Solves Problem. Goe
Eight Times as Far as 'Ready-to-Eat' Ce


Eight Times as Far as Ready to-Eat" &C.
reals.
There is hardly an item of living ex.
pense which does not cost more this
winter than it did last, with the
exception of Malt Breakfast Food. On
account of increased sales and i'm
proved processes of manufacture the
proprietors find themselves able to give
more food for the same money, and
have increased the size of the package
about one third.
A two-pound package of Malt Break
fast Food costs the same as fourteen
ounce package of the ''ready- to- eat"
cereals, and when cooked according to
directions it goes just eight times as
far, package for package. as the ready
cooked foods. Prove this by your own
grocery bill and you will soon be eat
ing better food at less expense
Malt Breakfast Food is not fad: it
is real, honest food, delicious and sat
isfying. Which is preferable at this
season of the year, a steaming hot dish
of delicious Malt Breakfast Food,
served with cream and sugar, or
handful of cold, dry chips, eaten from
a pasteboard box that may have been
on the grocery shelves since last sum-
mer?
There is no guesswork or experiment
about Malt Breakfast Food. 1t is the
original malt-wheat food. 1t has been
the favorite breakfast dish in the best
homes for years, and those who use it
show by their superior and mental and
physical vigor and health how per-
fectly it supplies all the elements nee
essary to build and nourish body and
brain.
With every package of Malt Break
fast Food is packed beautiful carbon
photograph, while larger photographs,
without advertising or printing, dup
licates of which cost two or three dol.
lars at the art stores. are given in re.
turn for coupons taken from the pack !
ages.
Do not take our word for the supe.
riority of Malt Breakfast Food, as re.
CARDS both economy and nourishment.
but ask your grocer, ask your physi-
clan, ask your friends. Better vet.
buy package, cook it according to |
serve it hot and eat it. |
You will agree with us in calling it I
the very best cereal in the whole /
world.

Kicking about the present license law
will have about the same effect that
kicking did about the prohibitory law.
Each biennial session of the legislature
will tinker it little, but in effect the
law will remain until there comes a
great revulsion of feeling against it.
Meantime there is just as great and
greater need for teaching temperance
than ever before. Don't let up on that
at all. Show the young men and young
women the evils of intemperance, teach
them to be strong, self-reliant and tenn
perate. Let them learn to shun evil,
not expect evil to shun them. Hard

A despatch from New York states
that King Edward VII. has purchased
II carriage horses in America, and
they we're shipped lately on the Allan
tic transport company's steamer Min
nehaha. They were purchased by a
special agent sent over for the purpose,
and are all bays and blacks. The II
horses are said to be intended for
breeding purposes, the king wanting
to improve his strain of carriage horses.
No special breed is mentioned in the
despatch, but it is probable they are
standard bred trotters.

Need of a Health officers School.

The statement made by DR.. Wiltse
in his paper read before the state
school of health officers, and referred
to editorially yesterday, was that up
wards of 10000 specimens had been ex-
amined at the state laboratory in the
past four years, that 40 of the speci-
mems are now on file in the laboratory
unaccompanied by any name or adj
dress, and that in the medico-legal
cases not single specimen had been
properly sent This changes the state
ment as published somewhat but makes
it no less an effective example Of the

Be YOUR OWN JUDGE.
Does Not Cure, Says Druggist
Geo. e. Greene,

Mi-o-na, the remarkable hesh-form-
ing food and cure for dyspepsia, has
won fame by the unusual way in which
it is sold. 1t is the only remedy offer
ed for the cure of dyspepsia which
costs the user absolutely nothing I'M
less it cures.
Geo. E. Greene, the popular drug
gist, is selling great many packages
of Mi-o-na and with every box is given
his personal guarantee to refund the
money if Mio-na does not give salts
faction, you to be your own judge as
to whether the remedy helps or not.
Mi-o-na is an unusual combination,
it is flesh forming food, combined
with agents that regulate the digest
i've organs and remove irritation, con-
gestion and inflammation from the
stomach, liver and intestines. 1t en-
ables those organs to extract from the
food all that goes to make good, rich
blood, firm muscle, steady nerves and
sound body. 1t does not contain
any pepsin, pancreatin or other drugs,
that never effect cure and rarely give
even temporary relief.
Mi-o-na puts the digestive system
into proper working order, gives
health, strength and good flesh, and
is the only natural cure for iDdiges
tion. Even in chronic cases, where
life is one long drawn out pain, this
remedy will effect cure. 1t is the
simplest and most reliable of all rem
edies. Just one small tablet before or
after meals and you can eat hearty
meal with no distress.
If Mi-o-na does not do all that is
claimed for it, Druggist Geo. E.
Greene will cheerfully return your
money

And now pardon is proposed for
the Hardwick wife murderer Such a
pardon would be an insult to justice,
an utter disregard of public safety and
a wink at brutal degeneracy. James

Jeanerette is infested with
class Of worthless negroes, several
murders were committed 10 that
town recently, and many OF the
worthless darkies have been or
dered to leave the town, but it
seems that they have not all NOV
ed, if We are to judge from the fol-
lowing, which happened Thursday
of last week:
"At 6 o'clock this morning, Nor
thern Provost, an engineer en-
ployed by Jos. A. Provost, and a
resident of this town, was assault
ted by an unknown man, aud as a
result may lose his eyesight. As
Provost opened his door to leave
his room for his work, large
quantity Of sulphuric acid was
thrown in his face by a man, whom
he believes was negro. The man
| escaped.
As soon as he recovered some
what from the pain he gave the
alarm, and posse of citizens and
officers started in. pursuit of his
assailant. Capt. j. l.. Row of
Hope Plantation was notified by
telephone. and arrived here with
his hounds, but, owing to the fact
that many persons he'd been on
the premises before the dogs arri
we'd, they could not follow tn
trial. Two negroes were arrested
and brought before Mrs. l.. A.
Moresi, a neighbor of Provost, who
saw a negro run out of Provost's
yard at the time when he was as.
saulted, but as she failed to iden.
tify them, they were released
Much excitement prevails, aud the
citizens are thoroughly aroused
over the affair. Ii the guilty per
son is captured it is thought b.
will be summarily dealt with"

A Question to be Discussed.

The President, on Tuesday, Oc-
tober 90, will issue the call for the
extra session of Congress, which
is to convene on Monday, Novem-
Der 9. 1t is understood that the
message he will submit to the ex-
ira session will deal solely with
the Cuban reciprocity question.
What will be the outcome is mat
ter for some speculation. The
views of the President are well
known on the subject, but the
beet sugar industry Of the United
States has some friends left and
they will not be disposed to SUBJ
NIT to a violation of the faith and
principles of the Republican par
ty merely to help out the Ameri-
can Sugar Trust under the mista-
ken notion of duty" to Cuba.
Besides, if the contention that will
be raised, that the House of Re-
representatives. cannot constitution
ally approve or disapprove of the
measure because all measures af-
fecting Tariff duties must origi-
nate in the House by bill and can
not be included in the treaty-mak-
ing power, holds good there will
be no action possible. This ques-
ton will be- discussed and upon
its determination hinges the fate
of the treaty. And in the event
of the House approving of the
treaty it is not unlikely that the
matter will be carried by the
American Protective Tariff Lea
que, which has it in hand, to the
Supreme Court of the United
States.-Saginaw "Hel aid"
