Don't Be a Crank
About Your Food
But Be Sure 1t Is HeaIthful as Well as
Good to Eat.

1t is undoubtedly true that some peo-
nle carry to an extreme their ideas
about proper eating, therefore being
dubbed "cranks" by the skeptical, but
the Importance Of selecting our food
with intelligent care cannot be dis
puted. Our health depends to a great
extent on what we eat. Particular care
should be taken to select food which
supplies nourishment and is not hard
to digest.
We know of no other food that is
SO nutritious, so easy to digest, 50
healthful and so good to eat. as Malta
Vita. 1t is pure grain product, mace
from finest whole white wheat and
rich barley malt extract, clean and un-
adulterated. After the wheat has been
thoroughly cooked and matured 1T is
mixed with the malt extract, which is
an important digestive agent. The
malt extract makes all the valuable
food elements of the wheat easy to
digest by turning the starch of the
wheat into maltese, or malt sugar
Maltese is so strengthening and SO
easily digested that physicians every
where recommend it. Malta-Vita is
rich i'm maltese. The malt extract not
only makes Malta-Vita so easy to di-
gest and so healthful, but also gives it
that fine Malta-Vita taste. The matted
wheat is rolled into little wafer flakes
and baked until "done to turn" crisp
and brown.
Malta-vita is always ready to eat.
No cooking. Get some today. Eat it
with milk or cream or fresh fruit
There's nothing else like It'll no other
wheat food that compares with it. All
grocers. Now 10 cents.

Denatured alcohol will probably be
added to the list of articles manufac-
tured in Dubuque. A movement is on
foot to establish a factory here for the
making of the product from corncobs
and the project is in such shape that
there is good ground for hope of its
contamination. The scheme is to erect
corn canning and alcohol manufac-
turing plant in conjunction and thus
utilize the waste from the one in the
processes of the other.

N. Frederickson, of Garfield town
ship, has we'll that he cannot empty
nor fill up. He had hole put in the
ground southeast of his house to be
used as sink to tile into. The hole
is $40 feet deep and the water comes
up to within five feet of the top. In
experimenting he finds that it will take
water, but the water stands up too
high in the we'll to tile into. He thinks
of making another hole on lower
ground, and if the pond Is drained by
the new hole then he can tile from the
first we'll and have a flowing well for
his stock.

been sold to Dan Farrell, who will re-
move them to his farm north of the

finest herds of Jersey cattle anywhere
In northern Iowa, Is feeling pretty good
over the news from Charles City, where
he had entries at the Floyd county fair.
His entries took six first premiums and

Baskerville, Sept. 1s.-The city coun-
Gil, at special meeting last night, paid
the citizens note from the sale of the
bonds voted at the last municipal cleo
ton. 1t will be remembered that about
five years ago the city ordered the ma
chinery and electrical equipment for a
new electric light and water works
plant the city having outgrown the old
one. Before the machinery was placed
the council was enjoined on the ground
of exceeding the legal Indebtedness.
To prevent the plant from being sold
and passing into individual ownership
eighty citizens signed a note for $751;
coo and cashed it, loaning the money to
the city on a contract that all receipts
to a committee, which should apply all
earnings over and above the operating
expenses. also all taxes due that fund,
until such time as the full amount
should be paid. Since the note was
given the city expended some $4,000
additional. paid all interest and mains
tanned a minimum rate to the consum
er, which makes very nice showing
for municipal plant. In a few years
the city could have paid the note from
the earnings but the difference in the
rate of interest justified the issuance
of bonds, and the citizens are now re-
lieved from further liability.
Estherville should eyerlastngly
thank these loyal citizens, for the city
owns one of the finest plants in this
part of the state and the rates are less
than any of the private plants, in many
cases one-half less.
