FOOD

Grape=Nuts
FOOD
A Body Balance

People hesitate at the statement that
the famous food, Grape-Nuts, yields as
much nourishment from one pound as
can be absorbed by the system from ten
POUNDS of meat, bread, wheat or oats.
len pounds of meat might contain more
nourlshment than one pound of Grape
NUTS, but not in shape that the system
VIII absorb as large proportion of, as
the body can take UP from one pound of
Grape-Nuts.
Th1s food contains the selected parts of
wheat and barley which are prepared
ana Dy natural means predigested, ira rs
formed into form of sugar, ready for
immediate assimilation. People in all
parts of the world testify to the value of
Grape-Nuts
A MO- man says: II have gained ten
POUNDS on Grape-Nuts food. can truly
recommend it to thin people" He had

One curious feature regarding true
neaItn food is that its use will reduce
the weight of a corpulent person with
unneaithy flesh, and will add to the
weight of thin person not properly
nourished There is abundance of evil

HERE 1T IS AGAIN.
Dreaded Foot and Mouth Disease Re
ported in Ellsworth County.

The dreaded foot and mouth disease
has made it's appearance in Kansas, and
herd Of cattle near Ellsworth, Kan,
at the little town of Langley, is infect
ed and under quarantine. Several head
of cattle have died, and every effort is
being taken to stop the spread of the
disease.
John B. Baker, state live stock inspec-
tor, received word on Monday that the
cattle were sick, and wired instructions
to the sheriff to take the local veterinary
and make an inspection Of the herd.
This was done, and the veterinary pro-
nounced it foot and mouth disease. DR..
Schoenleiber, the state veterinarian. be-
ing out of the state, Mr.. Baker notified
veterinarian of Salina to proceed at
once to Ellsworth and examine the cat
tie, for the purpose of verifying the
diagnosis previously made.
Foot and mouth disease is one of the
most fatal maladies which affects cattle.
A beast once afflicted with the disease
seldom RECEIVERS. For that reason ex-
traordinary efforts will be made to stamp
out the contagio It is the first time
for many years that foot and mouth dis
ease has appeared in Kansas.

LABOR FAMINE IN WEST.
Hartman Is Compelled to Buy Coal in
Australia.

Omaha, Neb., Aug 21.-The scarcity
of labor in the west has reached an
acute stage 1t has resulted in cur
failing so much coal mine work that
the Hartman lines. which have an
abundance of fuel in their own mines,
have been compelled to order coal
from Australia. They have also made
contracts for 1000 tons a week from
Illinois, paying one dollar a ton and
seven dollars ton freight to Garfield,
Utah.
Japanese in some Union Pacific
mines are drawing as high as $17O a
month and wages may go still higher.
The Union Pacific is urging coal deal
ers and private consumers to lay in as
large supplies for the winter as they
can secure in order to offset a famine.
The railroad itself has stored up 2OO,-
900 tons more than ordinarily for it's
own use. 1t is likewise exercising
special efforts to secure common labor
from the east but is meeting limited
success only. Labor agencies are
swamped with orders for men.

here. and one of the leading Grimm
ologists of the country, has resigned.
Meserve. who is from Wellsboro,
six years ago. Coming in the wake of
almost general condemnation of the
Delaware whipping post, toe attitude
of Meserve will probably result in the
today:
''I have made a very careful and I'M
biased study of the effect of the whip
ping post on men of this class. end
have come to the conclusion that it is
all bad. 1t brings out in a man all
that is revengefu1 and hurtful. and he
arrays himself against law, order and
society"
Mr.. Meserve has dashed hundreds of
negroes and white men. He has re-
peatedly stated that the principle was
wrong and has strongly advocated the
repeal of the medieval law.
Meserve has always had the unani
nous support of the workhouse trus-
tees in his management of the institu-
ton and leaves the position with the
regrets of every member of the board.
He has obtained an official position
with the Pauley jail company of st.
Louis, and will superintend the con-
struction of prisons in Burlington, VT,
and Winnipeg, Manitoba. His salary
at the Delaware institution was $1,000
a year, while his wife was paid $500
as matron.

The whipping post has been a Della

but of late there has developed a
widespread sentiment against it. At
the last session of the legislature the
wisdom of abolishing it was fully dis
cussed. The general assembly retain
ed the lashes. but abolished the pillory.

PHONES FOR VACATION.
Missouri Carrier Pays 81 for Message
to Washington.

Washington, Aug. N.-Oficials at the
postoffice department were startled to-
day when they got a long distance tele-
phone message from the postmaster at
Odessa, Mo.
The surprise was increased when they
learned from the operator at the Mis-
souri, end of the wire, who was talking
for Postmaster John T. Wagner, that
the sole object sought by the long dis
lance conversation was leave of alb
sence for a rural letter carrier serving

Downs wanted to get off from Aug

postmaster or Downs to spend ~ in

rier could have his vacation. Chlet

THEY'LL VOTE SOME TIME.
DIR. l.. w. West Manaway Says Ne
groes in South Are Improving.

Some of these days the negroes in
| the southern states will be allowed to
vote, and will take advantage of the
opportunity" said DIR. L. w. West
Manaway, of Jackson, Miss, director
of two negro banks, and one of the
| best educated colored leaders in the
south. In speaking of the way in
which suffrage will be obtained, DR..
Manaway said:
1T will come about partly by the
progress in wealth and education Of
the negro himself But the thing
which will bring it to a final issue will
be a division in the ranks of the
whites, which will make each side
| anxious for negro votes. There is no
political party in the south at present
1t is all one way
DR.. Manaway thinks that conditions
in Mississippi and other southern
states are not nearly as bad as people
in the north believe them to be.
THE negroes are getting along very
well, and the stories of negro killings
and race hatred are largely exagger-
ated. There are bad negroes and bad
white men. The bad negroes are the
ones who usually get into trouble, and
the bad white men are the ones who
start it. When a negro is honest and
Industrious, he usually gets all that he
deserves The majority of the white
people of Mississippi are disposed to
treat the negroes all right. AS a mat
ter of fact there isn't as much
as there is here.
"In Mississippi a negro can make
money in any line of business which
he cares to undertake, provided he is
smart enough. He can get patronage
from both whites and blacks There
is no line of business closed to him.
Our bank there at Jackson, differed
entirely by colored men, enjoys the
patronage of all the rich Jew mer-
chants of Jackson. 1t happened in

siderable inconvenience, and when his
he transferred his business to our
bank. Not only that but he went
around among his Jew friends, and
succeeded in getting about 80 of them
to transfer their business to our bank.
1.-THE thing which the Mississippi
negroes are now trying to do is to ac-
cumulate property and education.
man without property can demand
nothing. Every negro should own
farm or a piece of land. He should
get property. In my ward in Jackson
the negroes own 100000 worth OF
property In the state of Mississippi
the negroes own many millions OF dol
lars worth of property There are
ten negro banks in Mississippi.
This man Vardaman does not rep
resent the sentiment of the best peo-
pie of Mississippi. He has achieved
his nolitfcal success through appeal to

poorer classes of whites. In the re-

The sales of ArbuckIes' Ariosa
Coffee exceed the sales of all other
packaged coffees combined, and this
scientific roasting, which no other
coffee can afford, by its very maeni-
