SIX THOUSAND
ARE HOMELESS
FIERCE FOREST FIRES CAUSED
LOSS OF MANY
LIVES.
GREAT AREA COVERED
The Property Loss VIII Be More Than
a Million of Dollars-Many Families
of Homesteaders Missing.
Held In Check.

The forest fires which swept over
an area of one hundred miles square
in the upper peninsular were believed
to be under control Saturday night and
to have caused a property loss of over
81 100000. The greatest havoc has
been done in the Menominee river
country, where half a dozen small
towns are reported laid waste and
others endangered.
There is much suffering among the
homeless, who in many cases escaped
only with the clothing on their backs.
1t will be many days before the actual
loss of life is known if it ever is. Three
children were burned at Quinnesec.
Their mother, in the attempt to save
few personal effects by carrying
them to the street, left her three small
children in her home. When she re-
turned few minutes later the build
ing was in flames and the children
burned to death.
It is definitely known that one man
at least was burned to death in Delta
county. The body of Peter Lafond, as.
sistant cook at camp No. /, of the l.
Stephenson Co., was found in root
house near the camp, burned beyond
recognition.
LaFond had evidently remained at
the camp when the other members OF
the crew fed, and when the flames
reached the spot he sought refuge in
the root house. He had evidently been
suffocated by the smoke, and when the
| flames reached the building his cloth
, ing caught fire.
Many other woodsmen who fed
from their camps in wild confusion
when the fire approached are missing
| together with large nImber of home
steaders and their families. In some
instances it is believed that the miss
J ing ones reached places of safety
while in others it Is practically certain
that entire families were caught In
the circle OF flames and burned tc
death.
| There Is hardly a farmer within q
radius Of five miles of Newberry who
! did not lose something in the fire. Sew
eral farmers who lived in the woods
were burned completely out and barely
escaped with their lives. One farmer
who did not believe in banks had $751;
in currency in the house when the
fire came along and it was burned
with everything else.
II is believed that in consequence
of the destruction of towns, hamlet!
and farming settlements, fully 5000
people are homeless, of whom nearly
one-half lived at Quinnesec, on the Me
nominee iron range, where but three
or four buildings are said TO be stand
ing.
Gov. Warner thinks that, making
all due allowances for exaggerations
conditions appear to be such that hell
is urgently needed for the fire suffer
ers. He suggests popular subscrip
tons.

BREAD DYSPEPSIA.
The Digesting Element Left Gu

The Digesting Element Left Out.
Bread dyspepsia is common. 1t af-
fects the bowels because white bread il
nearly all starch, and starch is digested
in the intestines, not in the stomach
proper.
Up under the she'll of the wheat berry
nature has provided curious deposit
which Is turned into diastase when 1t is
subjected to the saliva and to the pan
creatic juices In the human intestines.
This diastase is absolutely necessary
to digest starch and turn it into grape
sugar, which is the next form; but that
part of the wheat berry makes dark
flour, and the modern miller cannot
readily sell dark flour, so natures val
liable digester is thrown out and the
human system must handle the starch
as best IL can, without the help that ma
ture intended.
Small wonder that appendicitis, peri
tonitis. constipation and all sorts Of
trouble exist when we go so contrary
TO natures law. The food experts that

including all the parts, and subjected
them to moisture and long continued
warmth, which allows time and the
proper conditions for developing the
diastase, outside of the human body.
In this way the starchy part is trans
formed into grape-sugar in a perfect
ly natural manner, without the use of
chemicals or any outside ingredients.
The little sparkling crystals of grape
sugar can be seen on the pieces OF
Grape-Nuts. This food therefore Is
naturally pre-digested and its use In
place of bread will quickly correct the
troubles that have been brought about
by the too free use of starch in the
food, and that is very common In the
human race to-day.
The eeffct of eating Grape-Nuts ten
days or two weeks and the discontin-
uance Of ordinary white bread is very
marked. The user will gain rapidly In
strength and physical and mental
health.

paper. Its principal holding in Sail

road is 13 miles in length and runs

that the divorce Of religion from bust.

whom the church sought to protect
years ago in business no longer need
that protection.
If this policy is completely carried
out, the sale Of the traction interests
