Still Another Case,

Franksville, Wis, Oct 12th.-Many
remarkable cures are being reported
from all over the country but there
is one right here in Franksville which
is certainly worth publishing, and
which has not as yet been given to
the public.
Mrs. Louis Markison OF this place
had been q sick woman for quite a
long time and could not find anything
to give her any help. She suffered all
the painful symptoms of what is gen.
orally known as female weakness
Every woman who reads her story
will understand these distressing con-
ditions which combine to make the
lives OF many women one long bur
den OF weakness and suffering.
Mrs. Markison chanced one day to
hear Of new remedy called Dodds
Kidney Pills, that was said to be a
splendid medicine for women's weak
ness. She determined to try some
and soon found herself getting better
She kept on with the pills and was
cured. Speaking Of he. case. Mrs.

ORIGIN.
o. a Famous Human Food.

The Story of great discoveries or In
ventlons is always of interest.
An active brain worker who found
himself hampered by lack Of bodily
strength and vigor and could not
carry out the plans and enterprises
he knew how to conduct was led to
study various foods and their effects
upon the human system. In other
words before he could carry out his
plans he had to find food that woul!
carry him along and renew his physl-
cal and mental strength.
He knew tLat food that was a
brain and nerve builder, (rather than
a mere fat makcr), was universally
needed. He knew that meat with the
average man does not accomplish the
desired results. He knew that the
soft gray substance in brain and
nerve centers is made from Albumen
and Phosphate of Potash obtained
from food. Then he started to solve
the problem.
Careful and extensive experiments
evolved Grape-N Nuts, the now famous
food. Grape-Nuts contain the brain
and nerve building food elements in
condition for easy digestion. The re-
suit OF eating GrapeNuts daily is
easily seen in a marked sturdiness
and activity of the brain and nervous
system, making it a pleasure for one
to carry on the daily duties without
fatigue or exhaustion. The food IS
in no sense a stimulant but is simply
food which renews and replaces the
daily waste of brain and nerves.
Its flavor is charming and being
fully and thoroughly cooked at the
factory it is served instantly with
cream.
The signature OF the brain worker
spoken Of. C. w. Post. Is to be seen
on each genuine package OF Grape
Nuts.
Look in each package for a copy OF
the famous little book, The Road to
Wellville."

PROSPERITY IN NORTHWEST.

Mitchell South Dakota, Sept 30
The South Dakota idea this year II to
emphasize the riches OF this state.
When 1t is confidently stated that this
year for the sixth consecutive year
South Dakota will lead all other states
in the greatest per capita wealth. u
can readily be understood why South
Dakota Is ambitious to advertise itS
crops and resources.
The report Of a fortnight ago regard
ing the heavy fall OF snow and dam
age done to the crops by frost, now
appears to have been false alarm.
This is the judgment Of a party OF
newspaper men and representatives OK
the Chicago, Milwaukee & St Paul KY.
who have made trip Of more than
! 200 miles through the state during
the last ten days. The greatest esti-
mate OF damage that Is now made BY
those in a position to know Is. three
per cent damage to corn crop OF the
state. In the rich agricultural section.
in the valley of the Missouri River.
crops appear to splendid advantage.
Occasionally one finds fields where
there has been perhaps too much wa
ter and the crops are somewhat late.
but this is the exception.
The following is a conservative eStl-
mate OF the products or the state and
their value for 1903:
