Behind 1t all there lies the spirit OF
Ardmore High School teachers to
arouse civic pride in the city. The
young people Of the city last year with
spade. fork, hoe and hands, with bulbs
and seed purchased with their money
gave to this city the best corners OF
civic improvement tO be seen. This
will continue. Just as soon as weather
will permit. the neighbors to the Car
negie grounds have promised seeds,
plants, etc, to make them beautiful,
and the High School girls and boys
willing at first to do anything for them,
will now duubly toll to make Carnegie
library grounds beautiful.
It might be well to say in passing
that the Improvement intended and
now partly consummated in basket
ball and tennis court upon Carnegie
grounds Is the very essence Of sue
cessfu civic adornment and improve
ment. Where play, happy pure, health

WHAT 1T Is
Composition of the Famous Food.

A wide spread interest has been Gre
ated among good livers. as to the com
position of Grape-Nuts, the food that
has become popular and famous the
world over.
1t has long been known to physi-
clans, chemists and food experts. that
the starchy portion of entire wheat
and barley f1ours is transformed into
true and very choice sugar, by the
act of intestinal digestion in the hui
man body. This sugar is identical
with, and is known as grape-sugar, and
it is in condition for imme diate trans
forma ton into blood and the necessary
structure from which the delicate
nerve centers are built up.
A food expert followed a line of ex-
periments until he produced the food
called Grape-Nuts, of which eraDe-
sugar forms the principal part, and it
is produced by following Natures nro-
cesses. in a mechanical way That is
heat. moisture. and time are the meth
DDS employed and directed by SCIENTIFIC
facts gained in research.
Grape-Nuts food is probably en-
titled to the claim of being the most
perfectly adapted food for human
needs in existence. Certain IT is that
the users delight in the favour and
the perfect action of intestinal diges-
ton during the use of Grape-N11ts is
satisfying. and the added strength of
body confirms the fact. 'TheTe,s q

TOO MANY HORSES.
animals Are Damaging Pavement by
Tramping.

The new asphalt paving on Kansas
avenue is being gouged out and ruined
by the tramping of standing horses
hitched along the sides of the street.
Portions of the pavement have been
worn through to the concrete base be-
low.
An attempt was made to pass an or
dinance this spring prohibiting the
than 10 minutes on Kansas avenue but
the measure was defeated by members
OF the council who contended that the
pavement would not be ruined by the
sharp shod hoofs of horses. The condi-
tlon or Kansas avenue disapproves the
stand taken by the cOuncilmen who
opposed the anti-hitch ordinance.
The stone gutter is not broad enough
70 keep the horses entirely off of the
asphalt pavement when they are hitch
ed close to the curb and as a conse-
quence along almost the entire length
OF kansas avenue right next to the
stone gutter the pavement is being
chopped to pieces and holes appear. The
water used in sprinkling the pavement
runs down and collects in the gouged-
out places and completes the ruin that
the norSes hoofS have commenced. Wa
ter rapidly brings on decay of asphalt.
In places the pavement has been worn
away for distance of as wide as five
feet. AT the northeast corner of Sixth
ana Kansas avenues a place has been
worn out of the pavement 20 feet long
by five feet broad: next to the gutter
the pavement has been dug out until
the concrete base is revealed. On the
south side of Kansas avenue between
Seventh and Eighth avenue, the wear
ing away of the pavement is also no.
ticeable, especially in front of the
larger stores where carriages are allow
ed to remain standing. On lower Kan
sas avenue the same conditions exist.
No fault can be placed with the pave
ment.
The asphalt pavement on Kansas ave-
nue. is as good an asphalt pavement as
can be secured. 1t is probably not an
ideal pavement for the particular eli
mate enjoyed in this part of the coun
try with it's wide extremes of tempera-
ture. Asphalt pavement will get soft
in the summer time for the simple rea-
son that 1t cannot be laid too hard in
the winter on account of the stresses
and strains which are set up in the
material in the winter time causing
cracks to appear followed by disinte-
grafton. A certain degree of hardness
can only be attained in laying the as
phalt pavement and on account of this
fact the heated term Will bring about
the soft. condition of the pavement when
it is readily susceptible to careless

On the Wrong Side of the Street.

Seventy-one arrests for this offense
were made between Sunday at daylight
and Monday morning at 10 o'clock. In
the "a hours following that census, So
more had been collared and trimmed
for dollar each. A straight dozen out
of this crop were arrested for riding on
the sidewalk, which is the same price as
driving or riding on the wrong side.
Last evening Detective Judkins station
ed himself in North Topeka and arrest
ed nine sidewalk riders in less than an
hous.
Among the victims of this "drive-to-
the-right" craze are about two dozen
farmers, who never heard of such an
ordinance, and seemed to think some
joke was being played on them. It
looked irregular to some of them when
the chief or jailer took their money
and said, That's ALL" Not having
been fined by a court, they thought 1t
must be some strong-arm game, and
demanded a receipt for their dollar. No
receipts were given. per police GUS
tom. In police circles the fact that a
man has his name on the book and is
neither under bond nor in Jail is re-
ceipt enough.
Although this treatment for the
"wrong-siders" is rather severe, they
must remember that the city needs the
money. They must remember also that
the police need the exercise, and the
drivers themselves need the strong hint.

1t was through the alleged use of
this boys name that the suave gentle
man who goes under the names of d.
H. Robertson. D. H. Dixon, also Dick
erson and Dickinson. secured twenty
dollars by mail from Weir's parents
on the strength of a letter purporting
to have been written by the boy telling
his folks that he was i'll here in To-
peka and wanted some money to get
home with. This letter asked that the
money be sent to general delivery" at
the Topeka postoffice and in care of
D. H. Robertson. The money was
sent by registered letter and Mr..
Robertson, or Dixon. or whatever his
name is. received the letter and the
money. He claims to have acted for
the boy in the matter. but the sheriff
and his forces. as well as the police,
are satisfied that young Weir was
never in this city.
Robertson was arrested some weeks
ago by Sheriff Wilkerson on the
strength of a letter written to him by
Mr. Weir in which he told of having
sent the money to his son to topeka In
care of Robertson and had heard
nothing from the lad. A charge of
using the mails to defraud was lodged
with the federal authorities against
Robertson He had a preliminary
hearing yesterday on this charge be-
fore A F. Williams, United States COM
missioner, and Mr. Williams bound
him over for the federal grand jury
