H. ]. NELSON DEAD
Died at Stuart Tuesday, November
5th, and Brought to Brayton for
Burial. Attending College
When First Taken III

Tuesday eve, November 9Th the
sad news reached Brayton that
H. j. Nelson died at Stuart at
p. m. at the home of his uncle,
j. M. Petersen.
The news was not surprise to
his relatives and friends as they
had for a greater length of time
anticipated this. While attending
school at the c. G. &. College he
was taken down sick with what ap-
appeared to be severe headache.
He was first placed under the medi-
cal care of DIR. Holloway of Des
Moines. Different theories were
advanced az to the nature of his
ailment but later developments
proved beyond doubt that he was
suffering from humorous growth
on the cerebellum, paralyzing the
optic and the auditory nerves. All
effort to help seemed of no avail.
An operation in this region wac de-
clared impossible and after nine
months of intense suffering which
he stood heroically and kept up
courage to the very last, God in his
mercy relieved him and called him
home to rest.
Mr.. Nelson was born at Schles-
wig, Germany, in 1885. When only
seven years old his mother died,
and year later his father. In 1892,
together with three brothers he
came to America and made his
home with j. M. Petersen.
Upon reaching maturity he went
to school at Woodbine; later he
passed an examination and taught
in the public schools one year
Wishing to still further prepare
him self, he went to the q. q. G.
| College in the fall of 1906, where he
was making excellent progress, but
| Gods ways are not our ways. In
the prime of life with the indica.
tons of a brilliant future and sur
rounded by scores of friends, his
life career was cut ehort and he
was quietly laid to rest at the St
Jonn's cemetery west of Extra.

You cant be we'll and have a weak,
unhealthy, tired out stomach. Neither
can you feel good if by some little ir-
regularity in eating, you have caused
the stomach to get out of order. These
little stomach troubles are signs of in
digestion which may and very often
does turn into very bad case of dyss
pepsia. Don't allow this to go on a
single day without doing something to
overcome it. Take some good reliable
and safe digestant like Kodol for Dys-
pepsia. Kodol is the best remedy known
today for heart burn, belching and all
troubles arising from disordered di-
gestion. 1t is pleasant to take and
affords relief promptly. Sold by Nick

about
Grape=Nuts

"a short time ago ! was called to a
patient who had been given up by his
physician.
His stomach would not bear food,
and consequently he got no nourish-
ment and was slowly dying from ex-
haustiOn.
He was reduced to skin and bones.
Immediately put him on Grape Nuts
food and Postum Food Coffee. He
could keep both articles on his stom
ach and neither caused him any pain.
He has been using both the food and
the cereal coffee and has gained rap

The reason a delicate stomach can
take Grape Nuts food is that il is
predigested by natural means during
its preparation, and even a small babe
can handle il as it causes no heavy
work by the stomach and digestive
apparatus: on the contrary, being
predigested. it is quickly assimilated
into blood and tissue.
Grape-Nuts as well as Postum Food
Coffee contains elements selected from
the grains of the field that are of first
importance to the human body in

OWNER WANTED FOR A COAT

OWNER WANTED FOR A COAT
Last evening the management of the
Boston store sent to the office of the
city marshal coat which had been
left in that mercantile establishment,
presumably by some absent minded
patron, who had found it more COM
Portable TO carry than to wear. The
coat was turned over to the officers in
the belief that they might be able to
restore it to the owner. Marshal Moore

is arrived at from the fact that in one

the Lakes TO the Gulf, with such
levees on the lower part of the river
as TO make the people have no
thought whatever for their safety. the
protection being absolute.
There is a scheme for the improve

but one which he has said he would
favor. 1t is embodied in the forth
coming report of the Waterways
Commission, OF which Theodore Bur

creation Of which MI Burton was the
inspirer, it is a most elaborate and
