SENSE ABOUT FOOD

1t is serious question sometimes to know
Just what to eat when persons stomach Is
out of order and most foods trouble.
Grape-Nuts food can be taken at any time with
the certainty that II will digest Actual expert
ence of people is valuable to any one interested
in foods.
Terre Haute woman writes: Il had suffered
with indigestion for about four years. since
an attack of typhoid fever, and at times could
cat nothing but the very lishtest food and then
suffer such agony with my stomach l would wish
I never had to eat anything i was urged to try
GrapeNuts md since usin: II do not have to
starve myself any more. but can eat 1t at any
time aud feel nourished and satisfied, dyspepsia
Is q thing of the past, and am strong and
we'll.
My husband also had experience with
Grape Nuts. He was very weak and sickly In
the spring. Could not attend to his work. He
was put under the Doctors care. but medicine
did not seem to do him any good until he be-
gan TO leave of ordinary food and use Grape
Nuts 1t positively surprising to see the
change In him. He grew better right OF, and
nu turally he has none but words Of praise for
Grape Nuts.
"Our boy thinks he cannot eat a meal without
Grape Nuts and he learns fast at school that
| his teacher and other scholars comment on 1t.
am satisfied that II is because Of the great nour-
| ishing elements In Grapefruit" There's q
| Reason"
| 1t contains the phosphate of potash from wheat
and barley which combines with albumen to make
| the gray matter to daily refill the brain and
nerve centers.
II is q pity that people do not know what to
| feed their children. There many mothers
who give their youngsters almost any kind OF
| food, and when they become sick begin to pour
the medicine down them. The real way 10 to
| stick to proper food and be healthy and get
! along without medicine and expense.

STRANDQUIST CREAM
ERY SUCCESSFUL.

{ G. M. Carlson, the Strandquist real
estate dealer. was in the city last
week attending to some business
matters. Mr.. Carlson is a great be-
lever in creameries and says that
these institutions are going to work
wonders in this section. Last fall
Mr.. Carlson took an active interest
in getting the farmers interested in
starting up creamery at Strand
quist and he stabes that it, took an
immense amount of work to get
enough farmers to buy. stock in the
creamery to make the start. After
the creamery had been started up
few months and the farmers began
to realize the benefits of this insti-
tuition. it was different matter and
now many farmers in the country
around Strandquist are coming in
and buying stock and selling their
cream to the creamery. Mr.. Carlson
is secretary of the creamery associa-
tion and he says that the patrons are
now drawing checks of from $50 to
800 each and prosperity is smiling

Machinery and improvements
to the Value Of 100000

Aug. Lundgren has a large force of
men at work in the brick yard in
stalling new machinery and getting
the yard in shape for a big seasons
run. About $4,000 worth of improve
ment will have been put on the yard
this year before a single brick is
turned out. The new power brick
machine that has been put in will
do.away with the disagreeable work
OF making mud brick, the system
formerly employed. Covered drying
racks have also been constructed,
which will make it possible to make
brick in rain and shine. Mr.. Lund-
gren intends to manufacture more
brick this year than any year since
he started the yard, "a years ago.

THE LATEST "SLAM."

The latest thing in mail order
houses, ''slams.'' A prominent busi-
ness man of one of our smaller, but
prosperous cities was heard to regis
ter the following complaint recently:
"Times have changed, he remarked
rehectiveIy, and whether they have
changed for the better you may
Judge from the results of my expert
ence covering over thirty years Of
dealing in the furniture business.
Years ago when we delivered furni-
ture at a home, we invariably saw
the old family Bible on the center
table, but now, when we enter tn ose
same home parlors, we find the dust
and venerable book replaced by a
gaudily covered, much bethumbed
Shears & Sawbuck catalogue. We
knew this to be great commercial
age, but we did not suppose it had
been carried that far.

CROP SITUATION
SIZED UP
Northern Red River Valley has
Improved Wonderfully and
Farmers are Jubilant.

There has been vast improvement
in the crop prospects within the last
week or so, especially as far as the
northern part of the Red River
Valley is concerned. At this writ
ing practically all the wheat is seed
ed, only some oats, barley and fax
remaining to be sown. Farmers
from all over the county report that
this has been the finest seeding sea-
son that they have had for years.
The soil has been in excellent conui-
tion and the seed has been put in in
fine shape. Warmer weather has also
set in now, and the sown grain. will
grow by leaps and bounds. Large
areas have also been seeded to tame
grasses, some farmers reporting 80,
40, so and even up to Is acres. This
is something new for this country,
and we believe it is good indica-
tion.

WILL OWN THE FARM.

A farmer in neighboring town.
ship, in a generous mood, gave his
daughter two chickens and bade her
"run away and be a good girl" lie
promised ii she would look after
them he would feed the increase for
four years. The girl. as it were.
planted those two chickens and the
results, according to the fathers re-
port, is astounding. He says she has
S64 in the bank and has 200 chickens
which he had to feed last winter.
According to the farmers best calcu-
lations. his daughter will own the
farm at the end of four years, and
will be charging him rent for living
on it.-Fertile Journal.
