ALWAYS FRESH FOOD.
Crisp and Easily Digested, NTaIta-Vita
Goes Straight From Its Huge
Ovens to the Many Who

The Malta-Vita Pure Food Co, of
Battle Creek, Mich, has adopted sue
cessfuI method of keeping the public
always supplied with fresh Malta-Vita,
the perfect food.
When Malta-Vita comes from the
ovens, it is the crispest, most delicious
food in the world. containing only one
per cent of moisture. The other SO
per cent is food-brain and bone and
nerve and muscle food-and most
easily digested because the gelatinized
starch of the thoroughly cooked wheat
has been converted, by fine malt ex-
tract. into maltese (rnalt sugar..
No other food preparation contains
such a high degree of food quality ana
such a low degree OF moisture
Of course, if Malta-Vita were per-
rnitted to stand on the grocery store
shelves for months it might lose some
of its crispness. But such a state OF
affairs is not permitted
The Malta-Vita company limits or
ders from every wholesale dealer TO q
quantity which the company knows
can be disposed Of quickly IN the
wholesalers territory. The wholesaler,
in turn, makes only such shipments TO
grocers as he knows they Will De abe
to handle satisfactorily
Thus the grocer's supply Of Malta
Vita is always as fresh and crisp as
when il comes from the ovens in the
big factory at Battle Creek-always
the kind that melts in the mouth.
MaIta-Vita is so deliciousiy refresh
ing and satisfying that it should be in
every home. 1t is the only per1ecS
food. Best for children and best Tor
grown folks.
At all grocers now 10 cents. Same
high quality, same big package as
when sold for Is cents.

Because a dog belonging to one OF

Rock Island railway system, decided
to make an investigation OF western

escaped from the car and started to-
ward the Nebraska line.

man started in pursuit. Then j. II.
Moore decided that by combination
of whistles and dog calls he might ac-
complish more than the men in the
hunt Away scampeTed the dog; after
him were the chasers, kicking up q

The dog was born in New York, ana,
like some residents of Manhattan Is

thing worth seeing in this country.
But he had never seen a prairie dog
before. There was one Of these ami

CIVILIZATION,

Catarrh of the kidneys-that is
what makes people have weak backs.
It is catarrh of the kidneys.
The kidney is being gradually de-
stroyed by this arrangement
The mucous membrane lining of the
kidney is infamed-ulcerated
The catarrhal products are irrita-
tive, and are sapping away the vitality
OF the kidney, which makes the back
weak
This causes people to become old
before their time-holding on to their
backs-unable to stoop over without
paIn-and having sudden cramps in
the muscles of the back.
Catarrh of the kidneys-that is
what is ailing them.
A course of Peruna is what they
need before the kidneys have become
permanently destroyed.

A New Germ Theory.
Cause of Much of the Sickness in Topeka

The most recently theory of scien-

before each meal, Mona strengthens
the stomach so that disease germs are
either neutralized or else driven from

GLOUCESTER
FISHERMEN
COMPLAIN

washington. Oct. 6--Representative
Augustus f. Gardner and Benjamin A.
Smith. Boston vessel owner, today
called upon Secretary Root To lay before
him tho grievances OF the Gloucester
fishermen I'm connection with the. New
Foundland herring fisheries.
This subject has formed the basis of
several exchanges between the British
and American governments during the
past year and now that the British am
bassador has returned TO Washington, the
negotiations Will be renewed with the
purpose 10 finally settle this question.
which has threatened 10 become acute as
a result OF the refusal OF the senate last
session TO act on the Hay Bond treaty
with New Foundland. The issues are
briefly as follows
Since the making OF the treaty OF
Utrecht In l713. American fishermen have
enjoyed the right TO FISH along the shores
OF Newfoundland and Labrador and to
enter the bays. harbors and creeks. Ac-
cording 20 the American View that right
was confirmed by the treaty OF 1918
French subjects enjoy the same rights I'm
those waters and one ract that adds TO
the feelings Of lrritatioD among the
American fishermen on this subject Is
that no attempt has been made 20 include
the French fishermen in the attempted
prohibition directed against inshore fish,
ing.
The Newfoundland contention Is that
under the treaty OF 1918 while Ameri
cans might fish in the Labrador bays.

In those OF Newfoundland
This new construction OF the treaty was
20 have been adopted by the
government OF Newfoundland in retalia-
tion 10 the senate failing to sanction the
May Bond treaty.
The state department not being able
10 deal directly with the government OF
has been obliged 10 delay
the presentation OF its case until the
return OF the British ambassadors 10
the purpose OF the call OF
Messrs Gardnr and Smith upon Secretary
Root was TO secure from the department
some official expression OF opinion as TO
the rights OF American fishermen in this
matter.
After a long conference between Secrc-
tary Root and Mr.. Gardner action vas
postponed until further information can
be obtained. 1t was developed that he
authorities through the
British ambassador have informed the
state department that they know of no
such action OF stopping the Gloucester
fishermen from taking herring In violation
OF treaty rights.
There is a difference OF opinion as TO
whether the Gloucester fishermen were
stopped because their ships bore an Ameri-
can register instead OF a fishing license.
although II has been held by the treas
ury department that an American register
carries a fishing license with it,
