SAFEST FOOD
In Any Time of Trouble Is Grape-Nuts

Food to rebuild the strength and
that is predigested must be selected
when one is convalescent. At this
time there is nothing so valuable as
Grape Nuts for the reason that this
food is all nourishment and is also
all digestible nourishment. A woman
who used it says:
''Some time ago I was very i'll with
typhoid fever, so i'll everyone thought
would die, even myself. 1t left me
so weak I could not properly digest
food of any kind and also had much
bowel trouble, which left me weak,
helpless wreck.
81 needed nourishment as badly as
anyone could, but none of the tonics
helped me until l finally tried Grape
Nuts food morning and evening. This
not only supplied food that 1 thought
delicious as could be, but it also made
me perfectly we'll and strong again, so
can do all my homework, sleep well,
can eat anything without any trace of
bowel trouble, and for that reason
alone Grape-Nuts food is worth its
weight in gold" Name given by
Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich.
Typhoid fever, like some other dis
eases, attacks the bowels and fire.
quently sets up bleeding and makes
them for months incapable of digest
ing the starches, and therefore pre-
digeSted Grape-Nuts is invaluable for
the we'll known reason that in Grape
Nuts all the starches have been trans
formed into grape sugar. This means
that the first stage of digestion has
been mechanically accomplished in
therefore anyone, no matter how weak
the stomach, can handle it and grow
strong, for all the nourishment is still
there.
There's a sound reason, and ten
days trial proves.

FERGUSON MYSTERY.
Blood Hounds Went No Farther Than
the Road.

The search for Miss Pearl Ferguson,
the Valley Falls girl who disappeared,
leaving a note saying that she intend
ed to commit suicide, is continuing To-
day and the scene has in a measure
been shifted to Topeka and the police
are taking a hand. The blood hounds
brought from Beatrice were taken to
Miss Ferguson's room and kept there
for a short time and when released
! they left the house by the front door
and went to the middle of the road
where they stopped and all efforts TO
have them find trail elsewhere nave
the relatives and friends of the missing
girl to believe that she. entered bug
gy in the road in front of the house.
Two men were seen at the santa
Fe depot here on Monday accompan-
led by a young woman who was hys-
| tericaI and who refused to enter an
east bound train with them. They
then drove to North Topeka and
bought tickets for Kansas City and
| the woman was forced on board the
train. An effort to locate the trio at
Kansas City proved futile. Santa Fe
| detectives say that the woman at the
depot was from Usage City who has
become slightly demented over the
death of a child and she was being
| taken away in the hope that u change
of scene would result in her recovery
A peculiar thing in this connection is
that the description of the woman
seen here TALES closely with that of
| the missing Valley Falls girl.
Every friend of Miss Ferguson has
been closely questioned but it is GER
| tain that none of them have any
| knowledge of her whereabouts. One
| young doctor with whom Miss Fer
guson had been friendly was found af-
ter a long search and convinced the
people that he knew nothing of her
whereabouts.
While the feeling grows that Miss
Ferguson is alive there is no let up
| in the search at Valley Falls. 1t has
been ascertained that she was in the
habit of taking long horseback rides
to unfrequented places that her par
ents knew nothing about and the
searchers are visiting these places to-
day. The Delaware river is again being
dragged and the excitement over her
disappearance has in no wise abated.

night on a, charge of using crap game
as a collection agency. Last evening a
