a Lot of Trouble from Too Much
Starchy Food.

A little boy of eight years whose
parents did not feed him on the right
Kind of food, was always nervous and
suffered from a weak condition of the
stomach and bowels. Finally he was
taken down with appendicitis and after
the operation the doctor, knowing that
his Intestinal digestion was very weak,
put him on Grape-Nuts twice q day.
He rapidly recovered and about two
months thereafter, his Father states.
He has grown to be strong, muscular,
and sleeps soundly, weighs 62 pounds,
and his whole system is in a fine
condition of health" Name given by
Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich.
1t is plain that if he had been put on
Grape-Nuts at an earlier period in his
life, and kept from the use of foods
that he could not digest, he never
would have had appendicitis. That
disease is caused by undigested food
decaying in the stomach and bowels,
causing irritation and making for the
growth of all kinds Of microbes, set
ting up diseased condition which is
the active cause of appendicitis, and
this is more marked with people who
do not properly digest white bread
Grape-Nuts is made of the selected
parts of wheat and barley and by the
peculiar processes of the cooking at the
factory, all of TIE starch is turned into
sugar ready for immediate digestion
and the more perfect nourishment of
all parts of the body, particularly the
brain and nerve centres

visitors to the east have spoken SUI

they thus associated, for the sojourner

dealt with softly, no blows, no scold-

smoothly, undisturbed by brawling.
One that has spent many years in the

CLEARING HOUSE FOR INDIANS.
Agent at Muskosee Handles More Than

Kansas City Journal: A vast amount
of business passes through the Union
Indian agency at Muskogee, Indian
Territory, every day. Fentress Wis
dom, clerk in charge of the agency.
says that it is now sending out an
average of coo letters a day and re-
ceiving fully as many. Some weeks
as high as 1000 letters are sent out.
The Indian agency performs many of
ing house. 1t is estimated that more
than $1.00o,0o0 passes through the
hands of the Indian agent each Year,
some of which he handles twice. This
does not include money paid out for
salaries or running expenses of the
agency, but merely the funds which
are intrusted to him arising from tribal
Mr.. Wisdom estimates that the
agency at Muskogee handles as much
business as all the other Indian
agencies in the United States combn-
ed. 1t handles the finances of five of
the most powerful and highly civilized
of Indian tribes, some of which are
immensely wealthy and none of them
lacking revenues.
In the Choctaw and Chickasaw ma
tons the common funds of the two
tribes receive big revenues from the
coal and asphalt lands, as we'll as from
the oil and gas fields. These revenues
arise largely from leases and royalties.
They are placed in the hands of the
Indian agent to go into the educational
funds of the two nations. Vast sums
of money also flow into the Golfers of
the Ghoctaw and Chickasaw nations
from the sale of town sites and town
lots. This year nearly S100o,0o0 has
