GROUND STILL TOO WET
WEATHER BUREAU REPORTS
HARVEST BADLY DELAYED IN
RED RIVER VALLEY. 49,

Weather and crop conditions in Min
n'esota during the week ending Monday
Aug. 20, are reported by Charles A,
Kyle, in charge Of the local service in
the following bulletin:
Rain fell in nearly all parts of the
state on the Esd or Oath, being heavy in
the eastern half Of the southern section
Scattered showers occurred on the 22d
and 26th turnout the state. The weather
was generally moderate during the week,
still some high maximum Temperatures
were recorded on the 23d, "a and 2Sth
Harvest is nearly completed in the middle
section, and is well advanced in the
northern section, except in the Red River
valley, where, on account Of the wet con-
dition of the ground, fears are expressed
that the already ripened grain may shell
out before the binders can reach it. and
some crinkling has already occurred
Stacking is nearly completed the
southern section, and we'll advanced in
the middle third Of the state, while
shock threshing was general during the
week, except when delayed by rains
Good yields are generally reported from
calities wheat Is rather light; fair to
good yields are reported from the CEN
trail section, being much better on higher
ground. Lighter yields are reported from
that part of the northern section, where
threshing has been done, yet the yield
would be fairly good If the wheat could
be cut in the Red River valley.
Oats and barley are yielding well, ex-
cept in portions Of the southern section,
where considerable discoloration of barley
is reported. Complaints of black rust
damage continue from a few localities.
Flax cutting is well advanced. A good
second crop of clover will be cut in the
southern section.
Corn Is making rapid progress and Is
beginning to dent. It will require from
two to three weeks for the bulk of the
crop in the southern section to be safe
from frost, and perhaps another week
longer in the middle section. Potatoes
are generally a fair to good crop, altho
considerable rot is reported from all Sec
lions. Flowing is general in the southern
section, and has been begun in the mid
die third of the state.

Science Finds
The Perfect Food
A Grain of Wheat Contains Every
Element Necessary for the
Health and Sustenance of
the Human Body.

Scientists have determined that the
various food elements found in wheat
| are the identical elements of which the
| tissues and cells, the bone and brain,
the blood and muscle of the human
body are composed and with which they
must be replenished if life and strength
are to be maintained.
Every nutritive element, every one Of
those. marvellous strength and tissue
white wheat grown is found in Malta
Vita. This famous food is the whole
Of the wheat, thoroughly steamed and
cooked in absolute purity and mixed
| with the finest malt extract that can be
made.
You understand, of course, that the
cooking and steaming Of the wheat gel
atinizes it's starch, and then the malt
extract, powerful digestive agent,
quickly converts this starch into malt
ed and 5%gaT Weakest Mas tnmh Is a great
and assimilates it without effort. Ply
sicians recommend it and Malta-Vita Is
rich in it.
The matted wheat having been rolled
into little fakes, is baked under such in
tense heat that when it comes from the
great ovens every flake is crisp, brown
Malta ita-the most delicious food in
the world.
"For many years, writes Mrs. Val
ley G. Regan Of BIT Church street N,
Rockford, ILL.,, my husband has suf-
fered from Indigestion and extreme
expense sending him to resorts where
he might have the desired quiet; for
the time being he would improve, but,
after a few days, on returning to bust
ness, his sickness would become more
troublesome than ever.
Through friend / bought the first
package Of Malta-V Vita. It has BEEN
in our home ever since and will remain
as long as it continues to do the good
work. Ny husband is now in perfect
health, his stomach seems strong, and
his nights prove source Of rest instead
Of torture. He eats but little meat and
pastry and claims that the Vita takes
the place of both. / serve it in many
different ways, and it always is tempt
ing; far better, it leaves one feeling
overloaded. With fruit it makes deli
cious desserts. y
A perfect breakfast is impossible
without Malta-Vita and it's good
three times day. All grocers sell it.
Now 10 cents per package.

there are thirty-fve settlers. Quite a
number Of them were too high for the
river to reach. Those who were within
the overflow limits had about 400 acres
covered with water. To these estimates
might be added a few hundred acres
of tame hay meadows, and they do not

There are large areas Of good pasture

ALEXANDER'S MIND
AND BODY FAILING

/ NEW YORK, July 13.-James w
Alexander, until recently president OF
| the Equitable Life Assurance Society
| is in retirement near New York city,
ION Long Island, it is said
| One of his friends said tonight that
he is under the care of two well-known
physicians, and his condition is such
that there is danger of his death. His
mental faculties are somewhat cloud
fed, this friend said, but with rest and
quiet his family hope he will recover.
Their sole desire in sending Alexander
| to retreat is to give him absolute
| rest.
| Since the middle of June, when Alex
ander succumbed to the strain caused
| by the troubles in the Equitable, he
has been under the care of physicians,
and he knows nothing about the more
! recent developments in the affairs of
| the Equitable Society. Alexander was
| SO weakened in body, and his mind was
under such tension it was not deemed
advisable by his relatives to. let him
know even that his resignation as
president of the society has been ac-
cepted.
1t was thought at first by members
Of the family his illness was not seri-
Gus, and that it was merely recur.
renee of the kidney trouble with which
he had been bothered some years, ag-
gravated by worry.
Friends of Alexander heard today
for the first time that he had grown
so much worse. Toward the latter part
of June it was understood that Alex
ander had been taken by his son-in-
law, John H. Alexander, the artist. to
Porcupines, the Alexanders' summer
place in the Catskills, on the grounds
of the Onteora Club. A telephone
message tonight from the Onteora Club
said Alexander had not been there at
all this summer.

he invitation he expected was not
sent. General Grants friends say that
General Nelson A. Miles, adjutant gen.

ed all the attention himself, so General
Grant was not invited to visit the
camp.
A few weeks ago Judge Ralph NJ.

Westfield. members of the committee
arranging for the Grant family re-
union, which is to be held at Windsor
in October, went to New York to ask
General Grant to deliver an address at
the reunion. General Grant consented.
During the visit Frank Grant asked
him if he was going to visit the Massa-
shusetts militia in camp at WeStfield
this year. General Grant said he would
attend, providing he received an invi-
tation, as he deemed it part of his
: duty, being head Of the Department of
the East, to visit the State military en-
campments, when invited.
When Frank Grant returned from
New York he told some men high up
in Massachusetts military circles that
General Grant would visit the militia
in camp if he received an invita- ton,
and Mr. Grant was assured that the in
vitation would be sent by Governor
Douglas or General Miles. General
Grant agreed to visit Westfield and a
grand reception was arranged for him
and Governor Douglas. Not receiving
a formal invitation, General Grant did
