Waverly, Aug. 15.-The case OF G. r.
Hunt, whose home was entered by a
constable with, a search warrant and
goods said to have been purloined from
a store found, has caused a great sem
sation here. One of the principal bus
mess buildings on the south side OF
Bremen avenue is occupied Jointly by
H. b. Mathews and G.. r. Hunt. The
west side of the aisle is occupied by
Mr.. Mathews as a racket store and
news stand, and the east side by Mr..
Hunt as a jewelry store. For some
time past Mr.. Mathews has miss
ed articles from his stock consisting
of cut glass and valuable bric-a-brac.
Alarmed by the rapid disappearance of
his goods, Mr.. Mathews placed a
watch upon his stock. Enough was
disclosed to lead him to believe that
the Hunt home was being decorated at
his expense. Acting upon this knowl-
edge, he obtained a search warrant In
Justice Fortner's court and placed 1t
In the hands of Constable A. II. jar
Wis. Upon entering the Hunt home
Mr.. Jarvis seized goods answering the
description in the warrant, amounting
in value to about $35. These goods
are now In the possession of Justice
Fortner, who has set the hearing for
next Wednesday forenoon.
G. r. Hunt is the son Of Smith r.
Hunt, who was one of the first SETTLERS
Of Waverly, and for many ye.
one of its most influential business
men. The Hunts have also been lead

The Food of
Our Forefathers
The World Progresses With Mighty
Strides, but Intelligent People
Clinu to One Old Truth.

Modern progress, OF which we hear
40 much nowadays, is not so great
perhaps as we are sometimes made to
think. True enough, 1t cannot be de-
MED that the world is progressing
along many lines. Wonderful accom-
plishments are recorded every year, al
most every day. We telegraph 70
trains moving at high speed. we traV-
el from New York to Chicago in eight
cen hours though only a few years ago
comparatively speaking. the Journey
required more than that number OIL
days. We build great railroads. under
the earth and soon we shall build one
across the oceans. All these and many
more marvellous things we are Going.
But In one particular the most INTEL
Ngent and progressive people of today
cling to the ideas of their foretathers.
One of the most nourishing dishes,
and one of the most common perhaps
O century or so ago, was known as
sFrumenty." 1t is seldom. II ever,
seen now, but Hutchinson, the eminent
English food authority, says 1T was
very nourishing and wholesome. 1t
was prepared by soaking the kernel OF
wheat in water until it burst and then
boiling 1t in milk with sugar and salt
and was Of high value in producing
bone, blood. muscle and nerve force.
Malta-Vita is an extended and Ella
borated process Of the old way Of MAX
ang "Frumenty." The whole wheat
grain is thoroughly cleaned, then boiled
in water, cooked in steam to gelatinize
the starch, then allowed to stand in
coolers (where it is carefully watched
by an expert) Just long enough to all
low the gelatinized starch cells to
break down. Then it is treated with
barley malt instead of sugar, as the
barley malt and the gelatinized starch
make maltese or malt sugar-highly
nutritious and most easily digested.
After this 1t goes to the ovens, where
dt Is baked under such intense heat
that when the crisp brown fakes de-
iicious beyond description. come from
the ovens they contain only one per
cent OF moisture.
Malta-Vita is scientifically prepared
to meet the requirements Of the human
body, and Malta-Vita is good to eat !;
especially appetizing when served with
fruit or cream. All grocers, 10 cents.
