CAT KILLS AN ADDER.
Snake Threantened to Appropriate
One of Her Kittens.


Newark. N. J., May 3.-A strang'
battle took place yesterday on th'
lawn of George H. Carman Of Uppe'
Mountain avenue. Verona. N. J., bs
tween a pet Maltese cat and hugs
blowing adder, one of the most poi
sonous of snakes.
The reptile apparently had decid-
ed that a kitten would make nice
dinner after it's long winters fast.
When within four or five feet OF It's
quarry the snake stopped, raised It's
head fully a foot from the ground
and fastened it's eyes on its intend
ed victim.
AS it did so the cat leaped savage
lv forward and struck the adder with
her paw, stretching it on the grass.
Five small holes in the adder's
head. from which the blood was ooz-
ing. showed where the cats paws had
entered
After a moment the snake raised
its head, now flattened to twice It's
former width. Again the cat deliver
ed a lightning like blow
A third attempt was met IN the
same way. Then, it's fight completely
gone. the snake attempted to crawl
away, but the cat made another
spring. landed with all four feet,
claws outstretched. on the snake
head, which she tore into tatters.
The adder was measured and
found TO be two feet nine inches long
aud thicker than man 5 arm.

GIVES OUT AN Interview
! Good Roads Committee Is Ready To
Help Enforce Road Laws.

cTOW InuTSudy DdHy.
The good roads committee of the
Mankato Commercial club gave out an
interview today relative to the accident
on the Fletcher road, whereby l.. l.
Davis team ran away as the result OF
being frightened at an automobile. The
committee regrets tine accident very
much, and condemns the action of the
driver of the machine for not stopping
and offering his aid. The committee
feels that it is just such actions as this
that work against the efforts of the
committee for the betterment of the
roads The committee wishes it en-
phatically understood that it did not
undertake the work of improving the
roads for the benefit of the autoists ex.
clusively, but for the purpose of upbuild-
ing the city and surrounding country
In order that the farmers may know
what rights they have, and as warn
inc to the drivers of autos of MankatO
and elsewhere, the attention of all con-
cerned is called to Section 1877, revised
laws of 1905, where in it is provided that
whenever farmer meets an auto and
his horses arc liable, to become frighten-
ed he is to raise his hand as a signal
for the auto to stop, and then the driv-
Ell of the auto is to stop his machine
Furthermore, the committee desires ii
to be understood that it is heartily in
favor of the full enforcement of the road
laws, and stands ready with its time
and money to prosecute offenders.

Do Away With
Food AduIieraiion
The People Have 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
to 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 1.-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, power
1ul 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,\ MaltasVita comes from the
ovens crisp and brown, positively the
most delicious food in the world. All
grocers. 10 cents.
