NO CROP FAILURE IN STATE
Kansas Farmers May Get $40, 000,-
600 For Wheat Alone.
CORN RATED AT SO PER CENT.

Kansas City, July 1.-The Journal
reviews the Kansas crop reports and
gives figures. 1t says:
July wheat is now selling at 20
cents, and so with the greatest crop on
record, estimated at 100, 900, 900 bushels,
their wealth this year SIC, 1000, 600
through wheat alone.
The total area of the corn crop is
6,374,325 acres, slightly smaller than
last year, but the average condition is
good, being rated at IS per cent, which,
if the weather continues favorable,
ought to bring the harvest up to a
good average yield. Corn does not
leave the state like wheat The farmer
turns it into pork and beef, and the
wealth that will be gained thereby
can only be determined by the stock
markets next fall and spring, but the
figures will be large.
There has been failure nowhere in
the state-except, of course, in some of
the river bottoms which the flood
swept over. All auxiliary crops have
either maintained or surpassed their
standards. The general prosperity is
so great that the food losses have be-
come incidental and immaterial in the
grand total Kansas may justly be
proud of her splendid showing, and the
rest of the world may rejoice with her
in the prospect of an abundance of
foodstuffs for the coming year.

BABY WEATHER.
Little Fellows Don't Like the Hot
DAYS.


Mothers should know exactly what
food to give babies in hot weather.
With the broiling hot days in July
and August the mother of baby is
always anxious for the health of her
little one and is then particularly care
full in feeding. Milk sours quickly and
other food is uncertain. Even in spite
of caution, sickness sometimes creeps
in and then the right food is more nee
essary than ever.
Our baby boy two years old began
in August to have attacks of terrible
stomach and bowel trouble The phys
ician said his digestion was very bad
and that if it had been earlier in the
summer and hotter weather we would
surely have lost him.
Finally we gave baby Grape-Nuts
food, feeding it several times the first
day and the next morning he seemed
better and brighter than he had been
for many days. There was a great
change in the condition of his bowels
and in three days they were entirely
normal. He is now well and getting
very strong and fieshy and we know
that Grape-Nuts saved his life. for he
was a very, very i'll baby. Grape-Nuts
food must have wonderful properties
to effect such cures as this.
We grown-ups in our family an use
Grape-Nuts and also Postum in place
of coffee with the result that we never
any OF us have any coffee ills, but are
well and strong" Name given by Pos
tum Co.. Battle Greek, Mich.
The reason Grape-Nuts food relieves
bowel trouble in babies or adults is
because the starch of the grain is pre-
digested and does not tax the bowels.
