WHITE BREAD.
Another Proof in the Controversy

Under certain conditions white bread,
potatoes and all starchy food fails to
digest and bowel troubles and appendi-
citis are likely to follow unless the food
is changed.
After consulting FIVE physicians the
last three of whom declared that an
operation for appendicitis was the only
way to save her life, a, young lady of
Bloomington, Ind. recovered her health
entirely with no other aid than Grape
Nuts, the scientific predigested cereal
food.
She says: Three years ago [ had an
attack of what my family physician
pronounced congestion of the bowels
and stomach.
He treated me for some time but I
continued to grow weaker. constantly
subject to the same attacks. I was
compelled to give up my studies at col
lege. In the meantime consulted an
other physician. Finally I went to a
specialist who pronounced it catarrh of
the stomach and acute appendicitis. I
was under his care for about three
weeks when I had another attack and
my parents called other physicians who
claimed that nothing but the removal
of the appendix would save my Ire.
Ny parents refused to permit this
and I was left total wreck, weak,
nervous. unable to eat. 1t was then
that they tried Grape-Nuts, feeding me
a teaspoonful three times day Upon
this food alone I improved from the
start to the great wonder of my family.
For two months I ate nothing but
Grape-Nuts and drank beef tea. Since
that time (Which was more than a year
ago) I have not had the slightest ill
ness and I am now strong and able to
study again. I know that I owe my
restored health to Grape-Nuts and I
now eat it constantly" Name furnish
ed by Postum Co, Battle Creek. Mich.
In this case as in most cases of ap-
pendicitis the trouble started with in
fiammation of the bowels resulting from
the use of pastys starchy foods that
were undigested IN the stomach and
went into the fnfestlnes in an undigested
condition, fermentiug there and starting
disease. Too much white bread will do
this. Relief and final cure came when
the improper food was left off and
Grape-N Nuts. Gin which the starches
have been transformed into grape sugar
by a prediEesting process), was used
Although all OF the rebuilding elements
are there in Grape Nuts the food is 50
pure that the most delicate stomach
relishes and disests It.

WASHBURN'S VICTORY.
Defeats Nebraska University in
Fast Ball Game.

Washburn was victorious yesterday.
If old Ichabod Washburn could have
&oreseen the manner in which the State
university of Nebraska would be made
to pound air and how his sons would
learn to knock the elusive ball between
fields he would have doubled the en-
dowment even if he had to borrow mon
ey to do it. He at least would have
endowed the athletic association. and
that would have been deeply appre-
ciated.
Not until the last of the game when
COldren's arm was firing did Nebraska
learn to hit him. Then Nebraska was
demoralized and her advantage didn't
help Hood for Nebraska, who played
third got the first two tallies in the first
and third innings. There was nothing
doing in the fourth but In the fifth
johnson for Washburn went to first on
balls and after stealing second made
the rest of the way while the corn
huskers were hunting for a beautiful
one base hit by Frank Mohler VINO sent
the ball into center field. In the next
inning Mehl hit to center and Belzer
lost the ball by stepping in d. mud pud-
die. Moss hit for one base and Gill hit
Tor two, calling home the two men who
preceded him.
There were three men on bases by
bad pitching and hobbies" when DonO-
hue was hit with ball This forced
Gill in and MOhler took the bat. he
whacked a warm liner to second but it
died a speedy death in Bender handS.
This made I'VE for Washburn.
In the seventh Belzer was almost let
home by a wild throw from third to
first by Mohler, but Moss sent the ball
back to Mehl and stopped him. In the
eighth inning Bender and Wilson got
two baggers in succession, bringing Ne
braska's score up to where it re-
manned.
Frank Mohler is about the best Wash
burn has done for third base for quite
awhile. His only error yesterday was
not disastrous and he otherwise played
a clean game. He is doing consider
able of Washburns hitting Washburn
is picking up in this respect. She had
three singles and two doubles yester-
day on Gore, who pitched Nebraska s
game. Nebraska got three doubles and
three one baggers from Coldren but
Coldren put more men to sleep than
ahe other man did Washburn wants to
hold to Coldren and Gill. Both of them
are boys and will pitch better ball next
year. Coldren certainly did noble work
in the box in the Nebraska game.
Washburn was exceedingly happy
over Yesterdays game. Nebraska de-
feated them on their trip by a score OF
~ to l. and they had looked for another
-drubbing yesterday. Topeka isn't giving
Washburn the support she ought to
have The athletic association is in the
hole over yesterdays game, and viii
try to recoun by game with the To-
pelza Business college this afternoon
This viii be worth seeing and ought to
be patrOniZed.

GRAND OPERA IMPRESSARIO
Retires from the Management.
Maurice Grau Leaves America
For France.

The last visit of the Metropolitan
Orchestra, under the management of
Maurice Grau, represented here by Mr..
Hlrsch on the evening of the appearance
OF Nine. Nordica and Edouard DeReske,
will be delightfully."- remembered for a
long time
The following letter states the fact
briefly without, however, assigning any
definite reason for his removal to
France.
1.-The Weber Piano Co..
emo. IoS Fifth Avenue. New York.
- GentlemeH:-
"On the eve of my retirement from
the active management Of grand opera
at the metropolitan opera house. In
New York. wish to express to you
once more my high opinion of the
artistic excellence of the Weber
pianos. and to further say that they
have at all times proved equal to the
sxactIng demands of the great artists
whom have from time to time
brought before the American public.
''It Is my conviction that in tone.
quality. power and durability they
are unsurpassed in this country or IN
Europe. shalt continue to use the
Weber plano In my own home. both
here and in France.
Is With kindest regards and best
wishes, believe me,
Sincerely yours,
ssMAURICE 0RAU."
The Topeka state journal. [volume] (Topeka, Kansas) 1892-1980, 1903-05-16

What follows is somewhat of an ad.
Don't read it unless you have the time
and the inclination.
When sending out pianos for Musical
Celebrities, the astute Mr. Grau will
accept what may be offered and fur
nished, providing it is a high grade in
strument, but when it comes to pro-
vide pianos for constant use and hard
wear the year around, he buys the
Weber, which is an expression of his
best deliberate judgment in making the
selection for best musical qualities and
general durability. The best and most
satisfactory pianos ever used in this
city in any opera house or music hall or
city library were the Weber. You win
remember even the small Weber Up
right used at the once Crawford Opera
House, now Theater, which gave such
excellent satisfaction, although contin-
ualiy and rather numerically used for
over fifteen years.
Straws show which way the wind
blows = there are numerous straws
which indicate the sentiment and ex-
perience of users of the Weber Pianos.
