ART AND NATURE

White flour is made from wheat. So is
whiskey. But neither one can be said to
be a physiological food. Neither one rep
resents those superb qualities native to
the wheat and that Nature designed for
her children. White flour, like whiskey, is
the product of Art-not of Nature. 1t is,
Indeed, merely part Of the perfect whole.
On the other hand, in Shredded Whole
Wheat Biscuit. made from the entire
wheat kernel. we have a food that has not
been stripped of one single organic ele-
ment. 1t represents the complete grain
aust as the soil, the rain, and the sunshine
produced it. No effort to improve on the
work Of the Great Master Builder. In this
food we have every property to build and
maintain every part Of the body. De-
tective teeth and weak nerves evidence
the use of defective food. Moreover, in
Shredded Wheat we have bulk which the
Bystem demands.

water works Improvement, as prepared
by Engineer D. w Mead, We're not pre-
sented. The citizens committee was
not able to meet with the water works
committee Monday afternoon, as had
been hoped, and the meeting will be
held Thursday morning at 10 o'clock
Mr.. Mead left the city for Moline, H.,
Monday evening.
About the most important matter to
come up was the adoption of the judi
ciary committees report, on the con-
tract with City Solicitor Van Law and
j. L. Carney, for looking after the city's
interests in the glucose appeal from the
assessment of the board of review.
Each has agreed to do the work for
$500, in case the city wins. and 5000, in
the event of its defeat. The confirma-
ton by the court of the claim of at
least 100000 valuation of the property
is TO be considered a victory. The con-
tracts are practically the same as the
others proposed, with the exception
that the payment of S100 in advance is
not included. The committee reported
that it did not consider 1t feasible to
make a contract that would cover the
matter of carrying the case UP to the
supreme court
The buildings and grounds committee
recommended the rental of barn be-
longing to Mrs Chloe Bloomfield, sit
uated on the rear of the lot occupied
by the central fire station, for the use
of storing city supplies. The commit
tee considers that Sc a month rental,
with lease for one year. with the
privilege of two, is better proposition
than putting up a building. \ reso.u-
ton covering the recommendation was
introduced by Mr.. Webster and was
adopted.
Mr.. Ingledue presented petition
signed by Louisa Johnson, as president,
and Jennie Wilson, secretary, of Frank

council remit taxes, to as great an ex-
tent as possible, on the property OF MISS
Imogene Waters. Mrs. Lizzie Nj. Satia,

ton as to the character of sidewalk

asked that the council have II stopped.

FOUND OUT.
What a Mother Found Out About
Food

Wna1 a MOtner FC'unQ Oug ApOut
Food.
A mother found out what a change Of
food can do for a whole family. from
the nursing baby to The adults, in this
way: Twice during the summer
months my baby was taken violently i'll
and was very slow getting over the
attacks. His former liet of cows milk
alone ceased to agree with him, so ]
combined it with an expensive infants
food. bu. he soon became very much
constipated.
Then l shifted to Grape-Nuts food
and found that this was just what the
baby needed, adding it to his milk af-
ter softening in hot water Baby has
thrived upon this food and is now
healthy and strong as any mother could
ask, which you know is saying a great
deal.
1T did not take me long to find out
that a saucer of Grape Nuts and cream
is Just what is needed by the tired ner-
vous mother and I have also proved TO
my own satisfaction that when the chill
dren are old enough to chew Grape
Nuts, it is far better for them than oat
meal or any other faushy food, for 1t
develops their teeth and helps their d.
gestion and their minds seem to grow
brighter, and more active too.
'.,Truly here Is wonderful food and
one for the entire family" Name given
by Postum CO., Battle Greek, Mich.

Mr. Sterling is much pleased with the
prospects. He has not mace his con-
illusions to establish the repository here
hastily, for he has put out a feeler in
the shape of a small repository that
has only been conducted on small
scale, but the results were SO satisfac-
tory that 1t was decided TO combine
the two houses in which Mr.. Sterling is
interested, and put in the largest re-
pository in the west.

Mr.. Medearis, the local manager, has
been in the state as a travelling sales
man for twelve years, representing
saddlery hardware houses. He will
look after the Iowa business himself,
as this is one OF the best states in
which the company expects to do busi-
ness.
Mr.. Sterling has selected Marshall

tory because of it's super or railroad
BY shipping in large

secured by shipping from here than
by making the longer shipments from

English Estimate Of Emerson.

A single short work Of Emerson's,
the essay on Compensation" is enough
to convince one that this was man of
true genius. We have never read any
thing in Thoreau approaching that and
other works Of Emerson in originality
or beauty. But Emerson is the best of
the American writer's. Was it Henry
James who called him "the unfallen
MANI" One cannot imagine an intellect
which failed to admire "Compensat ton"
or which was convinced by its trans
cendentalism. = London Saturday Re-
