well, for the doctor to 60 all the

expensive and for the patient to have
come to Philadelphia would have been
impossible. In the dilemma phono-

first talked into the phonograph all
his symptoms. Then he coughed be-
fore 1t. and then, with the help of an
instrument that highly magnifes
sound, two or three minutes beating
OF his disordered heart was registered
on the sensitive cylinder.
"The outcome was wonderful. The

white and colored, who visited him
when they were sick or In trouble, or
had lost valuables and wished to find

ORIGIN.
o. a Famous Human Food.

The .s.ory OF great discoveries or in
ventions is always Of interest.
An active brain worker who found
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 physi-
cal and mental strength.
He knew tLat food that was q
brain and nerve builder. (rather than
a mere fat maker), 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-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 Grape Nuts daily is
easily seen In q 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 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 IN served instantly With
cream. N
The signature of the brain worker
spoken Of. G. w. Post. Is to bc seen

Nuts. fl

PROSPERITY IN NoRTHwesr.

Mitchell, South Dakota, Sept 3d.
!. The South Dakota idea this year Is 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. 1t
can readily be understood why South
Dakota Is ambitious to advertise its
crops and resources.
The report Of fortnight ago regard
ing the heavy fall of snow and dam
( age done to the crops by frost, now
appears to have been a false alarm.
This is the judgment Of party OF
newspaper men and representatives Of
the Chicago, Milwaukee & St Paul Ry.
who have made trip of more than
1,200 miles through the state during
the last ten days. The greatest esti-
mate of damage that is now made by
those in 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 conservative esti-
mate OF the products or the STATE and
their value for 1903:
