Do Away With
Food AduIteration
The People Have a Right to Know
What They Are Eating.

Too great attention cannot be given
to the food we eat. The health of our
families depends on this food. Are we
10 submit to the atrocities of the food
adulterators? No. We must have laws
to protect us and those laws must be
enforced.
1t is of interest to note that there is
at least one article of food about which
we can know everything. This is
Malta-Vita. popularity called "The Per-
feet Food, the pure, all-grain prod
uct, in which every element of food
necessary to the proper nutrition of
the human body is found.
In the manufacture of Malta-Vita
the whole of the wheat is thoroughly
cleaned, cooked in the purity of abso-
lutte cleanliness and then mixed with
the finest malt extract, made from spe-
cially selected barley. The cooking and
steaming of the wheat gelatinizes the
starch, and the malt extract a power
full digestive agent, converts this starch
into Maltese, or malt sugar, in which
Malta-Vita is very rich. Maltese is of
great food value, sweetens the wheat
sufficiently to make unnecessary the
use of any foreign sweetening agent and
the weakest stomach digests and assim-
Hates 1T without effort. Rolled into
wafer-like flakes and baked under in
tense heat, Malta-Vita comes from the
ovens crisp and brown, positively the
most delicious food in the world. All

KING A GOVERNMENT EXPERT
Inventor of Split Log Drag Given Fed
eral Road Appointment.

d. Ward King has been made Il
good roads expert in the Office of pub
lie roads maintained by the United
States government. His duties will be
to inspect highways. and give instruc-
ton in different sections of the couN-
try on the use of the split log drag. He
will also write a bulletin for the de
partment on the split log drag and its
work. Mr. King has devoted a great
deal of study to the subject of the
improvement of the dirt roads of the
country. Recent Investigations made
by the government have shown tn"
dirt road problem to be more difficult
than was supposed. Even Pennsylva-
mia, which was credited with one of
| the best systems of highways in the
east, was found to have but little
over two per cent of macadamized
roads. Other states in the east, sec
| ton where highway Improvement has
been carried on more extensively than
any other. were found to be sadly def
cient in the percentage of improved
highways.

the old, dignifed custom, if they could.
But they can do the next best thing to
it; that is, hold on to what hair they
have.

MOLINE
Leas Cut OFF on Railroad. - CT

Legs Cut Off on Railroad. - Charles
Holmberg, former resident of Moline,
was found lying on the Burlington
right of way near Orion, so miles south
of this city, at 10 o'clock Tuesday night
with both legs cut off, unconscious and
weak from loss of blood. He was ia
ken to a Galesburg hospital and every
thing possible was done for him, but
owing to the loss of blood and the
shock sustained he died a few hours
later. No one has been found who
can explain in what manner HolmberS
was injured, but it. is suspected that
he was struck by southbound train NO
so on the Burlington road, which leaves
this city at 1877 and which passed
Orion about S:45. Holmberg, when he
regained consciousness, gave his name
and said his residence was at 1919
Railroad avenue. This is the home of
Herschel Caverly, but inquiry next
door, at Gust Blad's boarding house,
established the fact that HolmberS had
resided there till a couple of months
ago, when he went TO Orion. At the
| boarding house his friends supposed
he had joined a Burlington construc-
ton gang.
