and another adjournment was taken

The Wiley stock has been appraised
at $500, and the law requires that
bids at sheritf's sale must be in an
amount equal to two thirds of the APP
praisement. If not received in three
consecutive days, the sheriff will fix a
date at which time one-half value of
the appraised sale price will be con-

What effect the bankruptcy petition
will have on the sheriff's sale has not

CHANGE IN FOOD.
Works Wonders in Health.


1t Is worth knowing that change in
food can cure dyspepsia. Il deem it my
duty to let you know how Grape-Nuts
food has cured me of Indigestion.
81 had been troubled with it for
years, until last year my doctor rec
commended Grape Nuts food to be used
every morning. I followed instructions
and now I am entirely we'll.
1.-The whole family like Grape-Nuts,
we use four packages week. You are
welcome to use this testimonial as you
see fit"
The reason this lady was helped by
the use Of Grape Nuts food, is that it
is predigested by natural processes and
therefore does not tax the stomach as
the food she had been using: 1t also
contains the elements required for
building up the nervous system. II
that part of. the human body is in per-
feet working order. there can be no
dyspepsia, for nervous energy repre-
sents the steam that drives the engine
When the nervous system is run
down, the machinery of the body works
badly. Grape Nuts food can be used by
small children as well as adults. 1t is
perfectly cooked and ready for instant
use.

on the part of large number of deal
ers to get rid of many of the unbusi-

vailed in the piano trade.
question that gives most annoy
ance to the dealer is that of allow
ances for old instruments, particularly
old orgaas and square pianos, which
are offered in exchange toward new
instrunlc ITS These old relics of by
gone days are practically worthless
The furr iture dealer would laugh at
he suof stion that he take an old
bedroom set in part payment toward
new, and the clothing dealers have not
yet started the custom of taking the
old winter clothes in part payment
toward new spring suit. Fond hus-
bands would hail the day when the
milliners would take the wives old
hats and credit them on the bill for
the new ones, but they have not done
any "hailing" yet
But this is not the only feature of
the piano trade which the Dealers
Association objects to. The dealer
claims that he is humping post be-
tween the manufacturer and the con-
sumner. There are some things from
the manufacturing end that the
dealer does not like. and while the
meetings of both the Manufacturers
Association and the Dealers are held
on succeeding days, it is likely that
some pretty vigorous discussions Will
be INDUCED in between the two bod
les. 1t is estimated that there will be

RUSSELL is HIGH MAN.
Member Of MarshaIItown Gun Club
Makes Best Score in State Shoot.

The annual tournament of the Iowa
State Sportsmen's association, now be-
ing held at Des Moines, resulted in
Ernie Russell, of Bangor, a member
Of the Marshalltown Gun club, being
nigh amateur gun at the close of the
first days shooting Tuesday. Russell
broke 1877 out of a possible 200, and
shot a new gun. AS the scores ran
low all day, Russells total was con-
sidered quite remarkable.
The shooting Tuesday was hard, ow-
ing to the fact that the trapping was
done against stiff wind from the
northwest, which resulted in low-duck-
ing targets. E. G. Wallace, Of this
city, finished with score of 100 on
the day, and T. c. Cartwright with
lat. George Snow shot in a few Of the
events, but did not participate in a
number sufficiently large to appear on
the days totals.
G. A. Spencer, of st. Louis, made
the best two misses, scoring 1913. One
of the targets was missed in the fore
noon shooting, and the other one in the
afternoon.

Louis XIV. the beard went out Of fash

elegant world knew only clean shayen
faces until the French revolution
brought the mustache again into use.
But nowhere except In Its Spanish
home did the mustache rise so extrava-

and his imitators.
In Spain all kinds OF artificial means,
such az bandages and coverings, were
employed to compel the mustache to
keep this unnatural upward position.
