APPEN DICITIS.
Not at All Necessary to Operate In
Many Gases.

Automobiles and Appendicitis scare
some people before they are hit.
Appendicitis is often caused by too
much starch in the bowels. Starch is
hard to digest and clogs up the diges-
tive. machinery-also tends to form
cakes in the cecum. CHATS the blind
pouch at entrance to the appendix
A N. H. girl had appendicitis, but
lived on milk for awhile-then Grape
Nuts and got we'll without an opera
ton.
She says: Five years ago while at
school, suffered terribly with consti-
patton and Indigestion" (Too much
starch, white bread, potatoes, ETC.,
which she did not digest)
"Soon after ! left school had an at
tack of appendicitis and for thirteen
weeks lived on milk and water. When
I recovered enough to eat solid food
there was nothing that would agree
with me. until friend recommended
Grape-Nuts.
when / began to eat Grape-Nuts
weighed 9S lbs. but soon grew TO It's
lbs. The distress after eating left me
entirely and now i am like new per-
SON."
"a little Grape-Nuts dissolved in hot
water or milk would have been much
better for this case than milk alone,
for the starchy part of the wheat and
barley is changed into form of d.
gestable sugar in making Grape. Nuts.)

MAKING 1T EASY FOR HIM.
Hibernian Had Much Consideration
for His Creditor.

zone of the queerest bits OF Irish
wit / ever heard" said real estate
agent, was perpetrated by Hi
bernian friend of mine some years
ago.
HE owed one of my clients 500,
had been owing it for long time.
The man at last got tired waiting and
insisted on having his money. The
two met in my Office, and. after talk
ing over the matter until my book
keeper bit his cigar in two and was
ready to tear out his hair by the
roots, the Irishman finally proposed
to settle the matter, as he said, by
giving a note, and, after many oh
jections, the creditor finally agreed.
"They asked one Of my clerks to
draw up the note, but when he start
ed to do so the debtor insisted that
instead of one note for $500 at 80
days. four notes for 500 each should
be made out, at 80, 60, 80 and 100
days.
1.-The creditor kicked again, but
the Irishman was determined, and
finally the notes were made out and
signed, the creditor put them in his
pocketbook and went away.
"After he had gone, 1 said to the
man, whom l know very well: Tim,
why did you want to give that man
four notes instead of one for the
$500? You know you had no idea of
paying that money, anyhow
Wasn't it out of consideration for
him l did it?' said Tim. Sure, it
would be a good deal easier and come
lighter on him to lose 500 at time
than to lose $500 at once!' and Tim
marched out congratulating himself
on his consideration"

towards the door passing the bride

take her in his arms and shower her
face and lips with the burning kisses
of his passionate love.
The young man waited at respect
full distance in a safe retreat to see
his companions friends carry her
away
No one claimed her, and as the last
passenger, after gazing into her face,
passed on, Donald hurried to her side

MRS HENRY LEE

Owing to modern methods of living
not one woman in a thousand APP
proaches this perfectly natural change
without experiencing n train of very
annoying and sometimes painful
symptoms.
This is the most critical period of
her whole existence and every woman
who neglects the care of her health
at this time invites disease and pain.
When her system is in a deranged
condition or she is predisposed TO
apoplexy or congestion of any organ,
the tendency is at this per o d
likely to become active and with a
host of nervous irritations make life
burden. At this time also cancers
and tumors are more liable to form
and begin their destructive work.
Such warning symptoms as sense
of suffocation, hot flashes, headaches,
backaches, melancholia, dread of inn
pending evil, palpitation of the heart,
Irregularities, constipation and dizzi
ness are promptly needed by intel
ligent women who are approaching
the period of life when this grea t
change may be expected.

SOME KANsAs RECORDS.

One of the results of the kansas
bopdbool. recently issued by Secretary
Coburn is an editorial in the Chicago
Record-Herald, pointing out some OF
kansas achievements. Many KAN
sas people do not know about these
things themselves. Here is what the
Record-Herald gives:
Kansas is short on billiards. and cy-
clones. according to "Kansas-7er
story and Statistics" the latest publ
cation OF the Kansas state board Of
apriculture. But she is long on agri-
cultural records. Here are some Of
them:
She has produced 100,000,000 bush
els of wheat In year, more than any
other state in any one year.
She has produced in one year al
most a sixth of the total wheat crop
NJ the United States for that year.
She has ranked first as a wheat
Welding state five years out of seven.
But wheat is a detail compared with
corn Kansas has produced 274,oo0,-
600 bushels of it in one year and
s7s.OOO,OOO worth of it in another.
She has a single county which has
nroduced 1O,71O,741 bushels of corn
in year. She has a single field on
a single farm in a single county which
has produced 1e4 bushels of corn per
acre.
She has bred John R. Gentry and
Joe Patchen.
She has bred a merino sheep with
fleece which yielded ffty-two
hounds of wool, and no one can show
an equal.
she has a town that has grown from
. 600 to 10000 on a diet of natural
gas.
she is the second lead and zinc state
i'm the Union and the third salt-pro-
ducing state.
She has a fine population and can
boast that nearly As per cent of it is
Kansas grown.
The total yearly value Of her farm
products is half again as great as the
total gold and silver production of the
nation. and if the value of her agri-
culture products and live stock were
divided up each year there would be
$3.50 worth for each person in the
state.
Kansas is also a record state in pos
sessing in the person of F. d. Coburn,
the secretary of the state board of ag-
riculture, a man who would rather
gather such facts as these and print
them from time to time than to be a
United States senator.
And, again. she is a record-maker
in possessing The Appeal to Reason
which can see more red bugs on the
national armament and raise more
Cain than any other prophet who ever
waxed fat in a land of peace and
plenty.

MORE FIGURES.

In these columns there were recently
presented a few remarks showing the
undue weight which the south has In
the Republican national convention &C
cording to the apportionment rule usual
Iy followed. Here are some more facts
along the same line:
Nine southern states, including the
entire south from South Carolina to
Texas, cast 1853. ss5 Republican votes in
1904. These nine states will have 1872
delegates in the Republican national
convention. Kansas gave Roosevelt over
10000 votes more than the entire nine
named, yet 1t will have only 20 dele
gates in the national convention. In
other words, one southern Republican
will have as much influence in naming
the Republican candidate as twelve
Kansas Republicans.
Here are the figures of the Republican
vote in these nine states and the dele
gates W, .ch Will be apportioned them
under the usual rule:
