A physician writing of the human

wound up. According to the quality
of what we eat and how we digest 1T

action of the system in general.

you strength and energy. Without
good food which your stomach can
digest easily you will run down." just
like watch runs down il it is not
wound, and just as surely.
No other food is so rich in nutrition
as Malta-vita, and we know of no
other so easily digested. This is why
Malta-vita gives the human body so
much strength and energy.
Malta Vita is the whole of the best
white wheat cooked and steamed.
mixed with pure barley malt extract,
then rolled into little wafer flakes and
baked crisp and brown. The wheat
contains every food element required
by the human body. In its natural
form, however. the wheat is not easy
10 digest because Of its starch The
exclusive Malta-Vita process over
comes this disadvantage and turns the
wheat into "The Perfect Food"
The thorough cooking and steaming
breaks down the starch cells and the
malt extract converts the starch into
maltese, or malt sugar. Maltese is
highly nutritious and the weakest
stomach digests it easily. All its ele-
ments of strength and energy are
taken up by the system, forming rich,
red blood and supplying the body with
vitality.
And Malta-vita is so good to eat!
No other food has that delicate, salts
tying Malta-vita taste. Just as de-
licious as wholesome. All grocers sell
Malta-vita. Now 10 cents.

a saw and piece of oil cloth, was left
behind by the man who escaped, also a
coat, which was found in the cemetery
Sunday, and a piece of a buggy.

him to Charles Brooks, who stated that
he wished to drive man to Mooar.

cemetery, also the missing piece of
Johnson's buggy was found in the road
by the side Of the cemetery.
The gunny sack containing the spade
and other things has been turned over
to the authorities and a warrant will

Brooks on the serious charge of at
tempting to rob a grave.
Brooks has made his disappearance.
During the chase in the cemetery, Ford
called out his name, and the fleeing
man, if it was Brooks, knew full we'll
