The Use Of Malt =.
Extract in Food
Cooked Wheat Treated With It and
Then Baked Crisp and Brown
Is Nutritious and Delicious

Remarkable results are secured by
treating whole wheat with malt extract,
as is illustrated by that widely known
1000 product, Malta-Vita, sometimes
called The Perfect Food"
In the preparation of Malta-Vita we
have these two factors.-(a) the whole
wheat, steamed and cooked in absolute
cleanliness and containing every food
element necessary to the sustenance of
the human body, (b) pure malt extract
containing all the nutrition Of best
selected barley in readily digestible
form, so nutritious and strengthening
that doctors everywhere recommend It.
The malt extract, mixed with the
cooked wheat, converts the starch of
the wheat into maltese. or malt sugar,
an active digestive agent. The result
is perfect food, rich in all the nutri-
ton that builds up bone and blood
brain and muscle. healthy tissue and
nerve force.
And Maita-vita is good. to eat
There's nothing like it, nothing that
can take it's place. After being mixed
with the malt, the wheat is rolled into
wafer-lfke f1akes,-every grain a little
fake-and then baked in great clean
ovens under most intense heat. From
the ovens Malta-Vita comes crisp and
brown, done to a turn" the most deli
efous. the most healthful food in the
world, All grocers, 10 cents. :,

William Jennings Bryan is in st. Paul.
He is booked for five addresses-M Mac
alester college, university, st. Thomas
college and the Auditorium. He stated
today that he had been misquoted in re-
gard to his attitude toward municipal
ownership of railroads. He had origin
ally declared that the country must
ultimately assume control or own the
railroads The word ultimately" had
heretofore been left out of his inter
views. He would have nothing to say
as to the coupling of his name with that
of Governor johnson and the formation
of Il presidential ticket. As he was
Governor Johnson's guest he felt rather
delicate about discussing a matter of
that character.

nee Mary Budd, while dressing preparatory
to going TO the city, recollected that the
range FIRE needed attention, and went down
to put on coal. In returning up stairs she
happened to glance in a mirror, and saw her
back clothing was a6re She screamed, and
rushed TO the back door, but it was swelled,
and did not open readily. Starting toward
the front door, floor rug caught her eye
This she flung over her shoulders, and then
rolled herself on the floor. When help ar
rived the fire was nearly out. Her back and
hands are badly burned.
It Is thought that some OF her clothing

UNCLE DICKEY
KOH KOH !! KOH II,

never hesitate to answer communica-
tions, in the newspaper, touching on
public matters, where the writer has the
courage to sign his own manuscript. When
it becomes the duty of citizen to defend
himself against the insults of wandering
lunatic or by appearance the Wandering
Jew, it seems the limit has been reached.
I promised you Mr.. Editor, that would
answer his wandering mind. The following
letter may enlighten your readers, SO each
one can Judge Uncle Dickey's sanity.
First. a number of years ago man
aud his wife took to the wilderness, near,
or about Williamstown,G Gloucester County,
N. j. there to grow up with the country,
and he bought mule and bull, and he
harnessed them together which made a
very respectable looking rig. The man and
woman had some boys, and Uncle Diekey
was one of the group. He was always left
home to mind and care for the Bull Calf,
and the lads first impression still remains.
Everything to Uucle Dickey is a Bull Calf,
every article Bully Calf. He even feels
his own legs, and calls out Bully Calf, OF
feels someone elses leg, singing Bully Calf.
Lunatics never lose the fist impression OF
life. Readers, there's where he got his
familiar expression, Bully Calf"
INTENDED to write you long letter on
Uncle Dickey. and his wanderings not
only Of body, but of mind.
/ simply state to you, that Uncle Dickey
is in the employ of a corporation, naturally
like all Iunatics he imagines he must do
something to make himself noticed by THE
officers.
Any more insinuations from the lunatic,
and l will promise your readers to give
them the name of Uncle Dickey and his past
life, which will make an interesting story
and the truth will be stated publicly.
Yours, etc,
