MOTOR RUNS A SLED.
UNIQUE WINTER AUTO PRO.
PEELED BY "SHOES."
Boston Lawyer Is Inventor of Ingen-
ious Substitute for Cutter-De-
vice Sure to Reach Pub -.
lie Favor.

New York.-A motor sleigh, the first
of its kind ever built in the world, has
come to the fore in this city. 1t is the
invention of Boston lawyer.
The body of the sleigh, with a base OF
deep maroon, and stripping of maroon
and gold, resembles motor car in form,
with the big hood in front, the straight
upright dasher, and the solid seat in
maroon leather. This rests upon four
small, steel runners, about foot high
and each 80 inches long. The runners
are made with rocker at each end, and
are attached with steel bow springs. All
iron work is painted with aluminium.
The peculiar and unique feature is the
propelling power, which consists of
three feet, or "shoes," operated by cams,
which gives to each shoe" the move
ment of horses hind foot when walk
ing. The three "shoes" are so placed
that one is upon the ground all the time.
Each rod has stroke of 16 inches net
on the ground, so that single revolu-
ton of the crank shaft will propel the
motor sleigh 4S inches, or just four feet.
One hundred and seventy-six revolu-
tons minute will give a speed of 704
feet minute, or the legal limit on GER
tain roads of eight miles an hour. Five
hundred and twenty-eight revolutions
minute will give speed of "a miles an
hour.
In case of uneven ground, where the
ground between the runners may be
higher or lower than that where the
shoes strike, the feet may be raised or

The county commissioners found
the nest from which County At
torney McClintock had been hatch
ing his grand jury Investigations
and promptly put their foot in it
thus breaking up the eggs that
were left. The county attorney,
it seems. has been making a good
fellow of himself at the expense of
the county commissioners. The
commissioners will henceforth re-
quire an opinion from the county
attorney which will not enable him
later to find loop-holes for grand
jury investigation.

AN 0LD-TIME DISH
Our Grandmothers Used the Whole Of
the Wheat and Hardly Knew
What Indi igestiOn Was

What Indigestion Was.
In these days Of education to the
use of the whole of the wheat it is
interesting to turn back the pages of
time and see what our ancestors did.
One of the most nourishing dishes and
century or so ago was known as "Fru-
menty.' It is seldom, if ever, seen
now, but Hutchison, the great Eng
lish food authority, states that it was
very nourishing and wholesome. It
was prepared by soaking the kernel of
wheat in water until it swelled up and
burst and then boiled in milk with the
addition of sugar and salt.
That the whole Of the wheat is of
high value in producing bone, blood,
muscle and nerve force is proven both
logical experiment. Only a few years
ago, fortified by exhaustive research
and experiment by learned men of
science, a progressive Chicago man pub
ished and circulated among the farm
ers of the country a book telling them
of the great strength-producing quail
ties Of wheat when fed to horses and
its. economy as !" feed, !" mere handful
being sufficient to sustain a horse at
hard work half day.
In training quarters for college ath-
letes whole wheat is recognized as of
great value. Mr.. Robert Utterbach,
manager Of the Drake University Ath-
letic Association, in speaking of this
said: take pleasure in endorsing
Malta Vita, which we used with first
class results at our football training
table. In nutrition and consistency we
found MaltaVita to be the best food
for our use.
That is because Malta-Vita is the
whole of the wheat and rich in proteids,
which Hutchison says can alone build
up and repair tissue. Malta-Vita is an
extended and elaborated process of the
old way of making Frumenty.' The
whole wheat grain is cleaned of it's
husk, then boiled in water, cooked in
steam to gelatinize the starch, then al
lowed to stand in coolers (where it is
carefully watched by an expert) Just
long enough to allow the gelatinized
starch cells to break down, then it is
treated with barley malt instead of
sugar, as the barley malt and the gel
atinized starch make "maltose' or
malt sugar-highly nutritious and most
easily digested. Thus Malta-Vita is
scientifically prepared to meet the re-
quirements of the trained athlete and
the convalescent. To each it gives
strength, blood, bone, and muscle and
in either's stomach it is ready to be
taken up by the blood without taxing
the digestive ferments. Malta Vita is
now 10 cents per package, the. same

The principal work of the society this
summer will be sending tired women and
children to needed rest in the country.
Jewett Sunshine lodge, at Lindstrom,
is now in readiness and this week has
among Its guests women who are weary
of the struggle Of everyday life. The cot
tages are simply furnished, but are very
comfortable and pleasant. The main cot
tage has, besides the living room, dining
room and kitchen, three sleeping rooms;
the smaller cottage adjoining has four
sleeping rooms, SO that ten guests can
be easily accommodated. The cottages
are only few feet from the lake and
great oak trees furnish ample shade. A
competent matron will have charge Of
the cottages. The guests of the society
are given the weeks outing free of all
expense, and it is only asked Of them
that each will do her share towards as
sisting the matron. One of the pleas
ant features of the outing is the delight
full railroad journey for which the North
ern Pacific railroad generously furnishes
the transportation
The people at Lindstrom are all inter-
ested in the work and are exceedingly
kind to all the guests at the lodge, while
the conductor on the railroad gives them
all his personal care. This week party
of six is being entertained, but hereafter
the society hopes to send ten guests a
week.
The society will be pleased to receive
the names of worthy women and children
who would enjoy a weeks outing.
